There is one theory of the origin of
the name Mitchell which traces II back
. to the Anglo-Saxon word mycel, which
means great. 1t is the same word as
@ mickle, meaning much in Scotch dialect
This supposed origin Of the name Mitchell
would be convincing il 1t were not for
the fact that there is a surname Mitchell
son. The students of name origin tell
US that a name with such an ending
occurs only in combination with a first
name. and that Mitchell and Mitchell
must therefore be Michael Nicholson
is therefore the son of Michael So
IL your name is Mitchell your ancestors
originally bore the fine old name of
MichaeI-given in honor of the great
archangel.
All the Mitchells were originally Scotch,
and there have been men of the name
from the earliest history of the use Of
patronymics Several of the lesser bar
onage bore the name. There have been
many eminent divines. lawyers. and war
riors of the name in the history OF Scot
land.
The records show that a Baron Thomas
Mitchell died in 1850, leaving two sons,
Andrew and Thomas. Thomas, Junior.

years 1898 and 17G. His great-grandson,
the Rev. Willi- m Mitchell. was a strong

DAILY COTTON LETTER


NEW ORLEANS. Feb. 10.-The revi-
sion committee narrowed the discount on
low grades ne-siXIeenth, which Is al
together in line with facts in the open
market, as, with the disappearance of
the better grades, medium low grades
such as low middling, good color, comes
into strong demand. The allowances for
color were increased by quarter to half
cent, which should have been some
time ago. The firmness of spots in the
face of the bearish attitude of New Y ork
is surprising With the exception of
Memphis, which market was affected by
the local failure, not a spot market
shows a decline and quotations range
from rs to 125 points over May futures
in the Northern market, 1t was this
showing of strength and the scarcity OF
offerings. which determined the firmness
in the near positions in Liverpool this
morning. Old crop Liverpool came in
6 to points better than due; spots
are quoted 3 points higher; sales, 5000
bales. Gables report short covering and
the continent buying.
Our market opened about points
higher and ruled quiet without either
pressure to sell or any great support.
New York advices still show intentions
to be against an advance for technical
professional reasons, but say that the
short interest is large and growing,
which may at any time lead to an ad-
vance on covering movement.
