REVIEW OF THE
STOCK MARKET
Tendency Toward Weak
ness at Close of Another
Dull Session.

After another session OF dull trading
IN a restricted list securities yesterday
showed some tendency toward weak
ness at the close though changes
among the market leaders were only
fractional. Dealings in bonds fell of,
but prices werc fairly steady. Little
impulse came 70 the market from
either news Developments or commits
sion house orders. The slight business
transacted here for foreign account was
principally made UP of purchases.
Uncertainty over Mexico. continu-
ing depressing influence on market &c
tivity. persisted. From Washington
came overnight tho news that Presl-
dent Wilson had insisted on the pas
sage Of anti-trust legislation at this
session, though considerable modifica-
ton may yet take place in tho bills be-
fore their final passage Report
reached the market Of progress on the
proposed measure to regulate stock er-
changes. though no action is looked for
along such lines for the present Iron
and steel trade publications report ex-
pectation OF better buying, based. how
ever. on no actual improvement in or
ders. Prices for pig iron and finished
steel are reported lower, with steel
works operating at practically the
same rate as for the two preceding
weeks.
Abroad the London market was
steady with difficulty in the settlement
apparently averted through assistance
TO banker involved IN deprecated Sc
curities Despite some heaviness IN
early London prices for American
shares initial dealings hero were at
prices fractionally above Tuesdays
close. Little activity developed. and
the market moved quietly in a narrow
range OF prices until the final hour.
Around noon trading was practically at
a standstill. Toward the close securi-
ties that had held firm throughout the
trading fell off and ended at or near
their low levels.
Steel again Jagged in the trading,
huctuating only y of a point through
the day and closing u down. Reading
declined q Of a point in the final trad
ing, ending the day q shade higher.
Union Pacific lost q fraction. Cana
dian Pacific. after selling down
points, closed with a loss Of Il, at 191.
International Harvester was quiet, los
ing y Of q point Of its recent gain.
Lehigh Valley declined over point.
General Motors made a new high mark, /
at S21A. and Utah Copper was excep- I
tionally strong and active. Missouri
Pacific improved toward the close and
gained q Of point on the day. with
no further progress toward readjusting
the roads finances.
Sterling exchange, after early weak
ness, hardened on higher discounts in
London and demand closed at 4.SS15. .
The banks have lost since Friday on
operations S3,1OOOOO
Call loans were again made from ia
TO per cent, renewing at the lower
figure. Time accommodation was a
little frmer in tone and mercantile
paper was quiet.

Fen at Petersburg.
Mr., Editor,

Mr.. Editor:-
Certainly it should be great source
of pride to Clarendon that so many OF
her heroic sons gained glory and dis
tinctlon at the cannons mouth that they
cannot be enumerated on one occasion.
I have still to mention another OF her
Jewels who fell beneath the starry cross
at Petersburg. I allude to Col. Patrick
Henry Nelson, the refined, modest and
dignihed Southern gentleman. At the
first sound of the war drum he organ
lied battalion Of eight companies OF
Infantry. For years they did arduous
duty in defending the Charleston and
Savannah road from destruction by the
enemy who knew it was the main
artery that fed Lees army with west
ern produce. While stationed at Adams
Run on that road they were called in
all haste to rush to Pocataligo, where
the enemy were making determined
effort to destroy the road only defend
ed by our cavalry. They arrived just
as we were aboNt yielding our front
line. | can never forget the thrill of
Joy and triumph that pervaded US as
we heard the tremendous rebel yell.
and looking 70 our rear, Saw this Sp!en-
did body of infantry in close column
and fixed bayonets double quicking to
US, led by the chivaluous Nelson.
Sweeping over rs they fell upon their
knees in our front and delivered a
volley of eight hundred muskets into
the dense ranks OF the enemy. Their
firing slackened Immediately and as the
sun had set they began hasty retreat.
having destroyed the bridge we could
no. follow them until morning, by
which time they were safely buck At
Bufort.

None Here.

The State is muchly concerned about
"the organization" in Gov. Blease's
interests, and from day to day hints
that it is costing money. We do not
know what is being done 10 other coun-
ties, but so far as Clarendon is ccncern-
ed we know of no organization 10 the
governors interests or the interests OF
any other candidate. The people Of
this county do not take kindly to ''or-
ganizations. The Gov. at Lexington
is reported to have said that his friends
were organized and they kept him pos
ted as to what is going on. He re-
ferred to the enrolment we have no
doubt, because be realized that it would
take extraordinary efforts and great
sacrifice of time to get his friends to
comply with the new regulations, but
that is as far as his friends have been
active. In Clarendon everybody took
an interest in the enrolment to urge
every white man to get his name upon
the books regardless of how he intend
ed to vote in the primary. We do not
think there isa Blease partisan organiZa
tion in Clarendo nor has there,been any
effort to create one. The people are
independent with their franchise, and
vote as they please. No man or set OF
men can dictate, influence, or control
the vote of this county, hence it is no.
necessary and useless to undertake to
corral voters into an reorganization"

TEXAS RAVAGED BY WEEvILs
More Damage Expected This Year
Than Has Been Done Of Late
Every County Pestered.

More damage will result this year
to cotton from the boil wevil than
has been occasioned by that pest dur
ing the last four years in Texas Dis
trict demonstration agents employed
Jointly by the United States depart
uent Of agriculture and the agricul-
tural and mechanical college Of Texas
say that every cotton county in the
state is being ravaged by the weevils.
The weevils are especially bad in
Central and South Texas, in the tim
bered regions. The agents say the
weevils will bring about loss OF
thousands upon thousands of dollars
to cotton growers unless the insects
are stamped out.

There were children and - grand

The war scare has thrown the tooac-
CO market into state OF uncertainty.
The export buyers hera have been
ordered to hold up until further in
structions, and it may be until the
foreign business settles. The ware
housemen of this market went to Flor
ence to attend meeting last night to
determine whether or not the ware
houses viii close down for the present.
We would advise all of the growers of
the yellow leaf to 20 right on with
their curing, then pack their weed
carefully away and wait for results, be-
cause, we believe that under present
conditions there is probability of low
prices, but as soon as the war cloud Is
dissipated and financial affairs become
settled the prices will advance rapidly,
and high prices will obtain.
There is no use repining about the
rumors OF war. All OF US feel the ca
lamitv, but nevertheless our American
spirit does not permit US to quietly fold
our hands and do nothing because our
brethren across the ocean are in troub-
le. Aaron Abrams with the spirit OF
goahead regardless of consequences, has
marked down his entire stock and has
thrown it on the market TO awaken in
teress in the trade and to give the
trade an opportunity to take adVan-
tage of tight times and make it prof.
table. He wants everybody to read his
page advertisement in this issue and
memorize the prices he quotes, and
then visit his store that they may see
it is impossible TO quote in this adver-
tisemeut all of the goods and the prices
he will sell them at. Abrams has q |
large stock and he says it is his determ
ination to make things lively 10 a CON-
mercial way this season, and the open

TO st. Etheldreda we owe the word

word, but the origin Of it is clear
enough. For st. EtheldTeda was pop
ularly known as st. Audry, and ct st.
Audry's fair were sold St Audrey
laces, which in process Of time became
clipped into "tawdry laces." Finally,
the new adjective was applied to aoy

played By the It" in saint" is exactly
that which has given US Tooley street
