 Some years ago a writer in Harpers Monthly told of an old colored man, Un- cle Joshuah, who was very fond of boast ing of the travels he had been on with his master. As the years passed he added to the tale of his and -'Marse Richard s' travels, every town and country whose names he learned of, until their itinerary was indeed marvellous in extent. and whenever new person entered the com- munity he immediately tried to find out how much of the world he, or she, had visited.
 On the advent of the new school teach CT. he was heard to accost Deacon John- son, member of the board: Well. Dea- con. what kind of cullud lady do de new teacher seem ter beT'

COTTON IS DULL AND HEAVY ALL MONDAY Close Steady Unchanged to 2 Points LOWer-PriceS
 Better at Opening

New Orleans, May 1.-The cotton mar ket was dull and heavy throughout the short day The market did not open un- til an hour later than usual out of re- spect to the American soldiers, who fell at Vera Cruz. The close was steady, un- changed to ? points lower.
 Prices were somewhat better at the opening because of the influence of higher prices in Liverpool, but soon af- ter the call the effects of favorable weather reports began to have weight and prices dropped to about Saturdays level What little trading was done seemed to be for local account with fair percentage of scalping in evidence.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter

New York, May u.-(Special.) IA gain favorable weather conditions offset the firmness in Liverpool by leading to 8 slow liquidation by holders when the market advanced at the opening on foreign buy ing.
 There = really nothing new in the stt- ,iation, the inability odeliver cotton in Liverpool. excepting at a severe loss, brings about a species of manipulation each month which maintains the near po- sitions at a premium. What the market needs is some factor which will enable business to be done for the future
 Just at the moment people are very un- decided as to what the future has in store for anybody, and therefore business Is dull.

UPHOLDs SOUTH's CLAIMS.
Representative Byrnes Challenges Op.
pOnents TO Make Better Showing.

Washington, Jan. 31.-Congressman
Byrnes today broke a lance or two
and unhorsed several advocates and
opponents of the idea that the South
Is the only part of the country where
illiteracy prevails and that altogether
the Southern States are rapidly GO
ing backward in an educational way.
The immigration bill was before the
house and Representatives Madden OF
Illinois, Heating Of Massachusetts, and
'Goldfogle Of New York thought they
would have a little sport with the
young South Carolina congressman,
and, CT the same time, prove his sec-
ton 10 be densely ignorant
Mr. Madden opened UP ey. asking
what had been the result OF the Wit
teAind enterprise ana why The South
is trying to induce immigrants to go
there after the failure Of that pro-
Ject. Mr.. Goldfogle talked about low
wages in the South in comparison
and others discussed the negro aues-
ton.
When Mr. Byrnes took the fioor he
laid them out one by one. He COM
pared the Lawrence (Mass.) mill
strikes with peaceful conditions In
South Carolina. told some Of those
who were most talkative regarding
present conditions in the Southern.
States that the people were happy.
prosperous and well contented. and
said that the reason why there are
any illiterates among the whites there
now Is that many Of them are the on
spring Of poor. ignorant men VINO
went to that section during or imme-
diately after the war and were too
poor or lazy to be educated them-
selves. Hence their children have fol-
lowed along the same lines.
South Carolina is educating her
white citizens, Mr.. Byrnes said, ana
challenges comparison with any other
section of the country in progress. en-
terprise and prosperity. Her people
are going ahead, he further claimed.
have nothing to hide or to be ashamed
of. and are looking to the future with
hope and optimism.
Although several members tried to
down Mr.. Byrnes and to cast aspersion
on the Southern states. he held them
in check and they made little II any
thing out Of their attempts.
