COTTON LOWER:
SEED 81 HIGHER

A decline of 20 points in cotton flu
lures caused further weakness in the
local market today. Values were re-
duced about quarter-cent a pound,
with 10 IL cents as the prevailing
price for middling. A considerable
quantity is being sold here at the
lower prices.
Cottonseed took an upturn today,
returning to the $57 per ton price
which had prevailed for about two
weeks prior to last Friday. Satur-
days price was $50 and on Monday
it dropped to sos, recovering 81 of
the loss today.

THE ONLY GIRL"

One of the most entertaining mu-
steal comedies ever booked for Con-
way will be The Only Girl" to be
staged at the Grand tomorrow night
at SIS o'clock. This attraction play
ed in New York City on Broadway
for an entire year The story con-
Germs principally a young writer Of
musical comedy librettos, who is a
confirmed woman hater, whose down
fall from his position in this respect
is brought about through the fact
that he is obliged to accept as a col
laborator young musician of the
feminine sex. The music in the play
is tuneful and catchy, and doubtless
will make a hit with the big audi
ence expected. A bevy of pretty
girls, arrayed in up-to-date finery,
and an augmented orchestra are ad-
ded attractions. Seats are now on sale
at Florence Drug Co. Prices are so
cents to $3.50.

Double Stars.

A double star is one which consists
Of two stars lying close together and
revolving in an orbit. For some time
Professor Comstock. astronomer OF
the University of Wisconsin. has made
a particular study Of this feature in
the hea vens.
A new phenomenon is q double star
which he noticed was that two bright
stars ..wobbled"eA and did not have. the
usual steady appearance. At length
the conclusion was reached that this
condition was caused by a dark star IN
close proximity to the two bright stars
Such a situation was considered Inn
possible at first. but analysis revealed
that the two bright stars could thus
exist with dark star without break.

never been seen. there is sufficient
proof to justify the belief that 1t u the
cause Of this double stars peculiar be
