COLLEGE NOTES

Again the College has opened its
doors to the youth of the world. On
last Tuesday it bepan the ninety
sixth year of its service. Perhaps
never has the outlook been brighter.
The College has been very success
full in filling some vacancies in the
faculty Mr.. George A. Knapp has
been chosen as professor of mathe-
mathematics. Prof. Knapp is man
of many years of experience and is
capable instructor. Mr. John w.
Perkins is the professor of German
and French. He is a young man,
but has had several years experience
as teacher and is highly spoken of
by his pupils. The College considers
its self very fortunate in securing
the services Of Miss Zanna Staater
as instructor in voice and harmony.
She is a graduate of the Cincinnati
Conservatory of Music, and has been
an instructor in that institution.

charge of the expression work. Mrs.
West is too well known to all Mary
Williams to need any introduction.
But for good College work an
earnest student body is just as i'm
portant as a strong faculty This
year the element that detracts from
the wholesomeness of college life
seems to be reduced to minimum.
The College is growing in numbers
as has been the case for several
years. Although one of the lower
classes was discontinued the enroll
ment is larger than it has ever been
at this season. Already it is nearly

READ HIM OUT.
Regulars Depose w. X. Abernathy
Because He Stood for Law
Enforcement Bills.

Selmer, Tenn Sept. 15.-As an ex-
ample of the kind of harmony that the
Regular Democrats are offering to In
dependent Democrats this year, the
treatment accorded Hon. w. X. Aber-
nathy, of this county, last week, is
conspicuous. Mr.. Alternately, who has
been for ten years member of the
McNairy County Democratic Commit
tee, was deposed from the place and
read out of the party because of his
course in the last Legislature, where
he led the Fusion forces in the House
in the desperate fight to pass the law
enforcement bills over the opposition
of the Regulars, and because of his
affiliation with the Independent Dem.
ocrats.
In view of the fact that the Regulars
now claim to stand for these same
law enforcement bills that they fought
so bitterly last year, and are trying to
get Independent Democrats to stand
with them and vote for General Rye
on their specious promises, it is
strange that they should turn out
man who has been on their committed
for ten years, who was elected by the
people to that place, and who has been
leader in the fight for the things the
Regulars now claim to stand for.
Mr.. Alternately is a candidate for the
State Senate from the Twenty-sixth
Senatorial District. He is running as
a candidate before all the people
The treatment accorded him was not
different from that accorded other gen.
uine prohibition candidates for the
Legislature. The Regulars claim to
be for prohibition and the election
laws, but they refuse to support FOR
the Legislature men who have been
for these things all along regard
of their high personal standing.

MAY SOON REOPEN COTTON EXCHANGE Pessimistic View Taken in New York on Price
 Movements

New York, September 26.-while re- ports of easier southern spot markets and expectations of favorable gov ernment crop report next week have created rather pessimistic view In local cotton circles as to probable price movements, there Is more talk of an early resumption of business on the exchange. Today's report from the con ference committee showed that 1900 bales of the old straddle interest had been liquidated as result of yester- days operations in Liverpool and re- cent better progress In the reduction of the straddle has had a favorable eff feet on sentiment.
 Private cables report a very poor busi- ness in Manchester, but payments are becoming easier so that the situation there is improving to some extent and liquidation on the basis of 9 cents for December here is expected to become more active.
 Members of the local exchange arc now discussing the organization of a cotton exchange clearing house asso- citation with view to minimizing pos- sibie losses through street failures in the future.

WHEAT MARKET IN
 CHICAGO STEADY
Increased Pressure of Wheat Supplies in Liverpool.
 Demand Small

Chicago, September e6.-The close in the Chicago wheat market today was steady, but 1A @1Ac under last night. Other net losses were corn S@%c and oats A @ sc to ss c hc Provisions fin ished the same as last night to 1s A c advance.
 According to cables allowed to pass the English censor. there was an in creased pressure of wheat supplies in Liverpool and smaller demand. At first this was believed and made the market here heavy. Later, however. as- sertions were current that the British government was shown to have been responsible for withholding Liverpool quotations entirely for three days this week. while immense army supplies were being purchased.
 Statements that the lowered price for wheat reported from Liverpool today were arbitrary. and represented no ac- tual business dealings led to a mod crate late rally. The recovery was helped by talk of boo.00o bushels hav- Ing been sold today for shipment to Europe from gulf ports.
 Corn suffered from the depression of wheat and ideal weather for curing the new crop.
 Weakness spread to oats notwith- standing active inquiries. Current offer ings remained small.
 Foreign buying of lard gave strength to provisions.

A FRENCH TABLE FOWL
By EDWIN MEGARGEE

Three varieties. are found in France. black, blue and white, but in America the black alone has received recognition.
 The Crevecoeur Is a crested breed, and this feature, together with the beard md mufr. gives 1t distinctive appearance. It is large fowl squarey built. aith great depth and breadth of body. The breast Is round and full, the back hcoad and rather long, the thighs short and stout Like all the French table breeds, the Crevecoeur has small bones and ear ries a maximum amount of flesh and a minimum of offal. The plumage color of the variety illustrated is rich, glossy black throughout. Beak, shanks and toes are lead color or black. and eyes, face. comb, wattles and ear lobes are red. The comb is V-shaped, a most unusual form. The skin Is white, like that of all the leading European table breeds.
 As layers. the hens are fairly good, though they do not excel in this respect. Their eggs are of good size and white shelled. Though the hens occasionally be-

come broody, this trait is not pronounced. In fact they are usually classed as non sitters.
 It is said that the chicks are very hardy and make unusually rapid growth. A French writer. in speaking of this breed. says: "It is easily fattened and all the district around Lisieux. Saint Pierre-sur-Dives and Mezidon, the farm CTS, market gardeners and others breed and fatten this fine Crevecoeur fowl: also the markets of these localities are largely supplied by them. and the sale of these birds attains considerable figure It IS there the agents go to buy some of the best fowls for the Paris poultry dealers"
 Though of extremely high quality, easi- ly reared and fattened, this fowl has never made much headway in England or America. Probably our popular prejudice against market stock having black shnnks and white skins may account for this

If the Chickens Are Thcre

From the National Monthly
 Sam Vickers. an old South Carolina ne- gro had helped himself to some of . white neighbours chickens The owner traced the theft to him, however. and brought him to account.
 Look here. sam he said, 'T don't mind the loss of the chickens SO much. l would have given you one If you had asked for it--but if pains me to see an old man like you commit a sin like that. What are you going to do at the judg- ment day. when We appear before the Lord. and those chickens arc presented as evidence before you?''
 "Yo' low dem chickens gwine be dar. Marse Henry?" the old man asked, while his cold black orbs rolled restessly.

WEEKLY COTTON
 GOODS REVIEW

New York, September 26.-The revision of the cotton goods prices forced as a consequence of the drop in cotton values Is proceeding irregularly. In coored cot tons very little change downward has been made. as the uncertainty of the supply of dyestuffs has restricted for ward sales by mills and led to the with drawal of several lines
 Bleached cottons have been revised in some instances and not in others Brown oottons are being sold on a very irregular price line, some houses being willing to sell four-yard sheetings at cents and others declining under 51h cents a yard. There has been some falling off in the quotations of wide print cloths, and some sheetings. but in other directions values told very steady and trade is not be- ing pushed. Southern markets are show ing little improvement. Western mar kets continue good. Trade in industrial cehters IS irregular and of cautious character. Under all the circumsta nces the mills are quite well employed. hut until there is more stability to cotton values selling agents are not disposed to move far ahead
 On the whole, however, buyers are restricted by money conditions and are inclined to wait before supplying any thing save current needs Opportunities Tor exporting are slowly showing improve nient.
 Prices are irregular and nominal and quoted follows:
 Print cloths, 2S-inch. 64x6Is, 3s&c: e4r cos. SAc; 3s1s-inch, 64x64s, 4Ac: brown sheetings, southern standards,q TAG: den- ms, Bounce, 13isc; tickings. S-ounce. 13c: standard prints, 5Ac; staple glnehams. SNc; dress ginghams. 9Ac.
