COTTON MARKET TAXES
ANOTHER UPWARD Squirt
INCREASED DEMAND CAUSES
ADVANCE OF FROM 10 TO
20 POINTS IN PRICE.

Active demand for cotton caused
the market to take another upward
spurt yesterday, and prices advanced
from 16 to 20 points, New York
spots having again passed the 15-cent
level. while quotations for future
months recorded corresponding
gain.
Generally unfavorable weather re-
ports were responsible for the adj
vance in prices. Texas is suffering
from a prolonged drouth, and the ex-
pectod rain failed to materialize
while the crops in various sections Of
the belt are suffering from weeyils
and other destructive agencies, and
the deterioration comparatively steady
for several weeks.
AZ the close Of business yesterday
afternoon New York'spots were quot
ed at 1910 October futures in New
York at l492. New Orleans spots al
14.63 and October futures in New Or
leans at 14.65. In the local marke'

WORK OF FORMER SUPER
INTENDENT OF EDUCA-
TIoN MOST EFFECTIVE.
1000 NAMES ARE
ADDED TO ROLL
Result Means An Increase ia
The Amount of Money Re.
ceived from Distribution. :

Prof. S. NJ. Nash, who for 20 years.
was superintendent of education in|
this county, was recently named by|
the board of supervisors to make al
supplementary enumeration of the
edueable children that are in the bor-
ders of the county, and his work has
resulted in adding nearly 1000 more
names to the roll submitted by the tax
assessor.
Prof. Nash, on account of his long
service, and his familiarity with the
conditions here. was able to locate
quite number of children who were
overlooked by the assessor and his
assistants in the original count. The
fact that 1000 additional names have
been added to the roll is very graft
flying to the supervisors, as the dis
tribution of the state school fund is
based on the number of educablc
children in each county, and this in
creased number will therefore add
materially to Lowndes county's share
of the fund.

a time when he was conversing with
Mrs. Sykes regarding lunch, which
was sent to his room without having
been ordered Sykes, who was stand

to a controversy which resulted in the

Conducting Sanitary Campaign.

Local health officials are conduct
ing vigorous sanitary campaign and
officers are making a close inspection
of every business house and resident
in the city limits. The city recently
adopted an ordinance requiring all
householders, who are not connected
with the sewerage system and who
use surface toilets to have the same
properly screened so that flies and
other insects cannot enter them. The
ordinance went into effect several
weeks ago, and officials have recently
completed an inspection for the pur-
pose of seeing that its provisions have
been properly complied with.
Mayor Gunter and other local Of
ficials are determined to see that sani-
tary laws and regulations are proper
ly observed, and several people, who
have recently violated them, have
been fined when hailed in court.

NO AGREEMENT REACHED BY
JURY IN THE CLARK CASE
COUNCIL FOR DEFENDANT WILL
ASK SECOND TRIAL BEFORE
COURT ADJOURNS.

Meridian, Miss, Aug. 2S.-The jury
in the case of Jack Clarke, charged
with the murder of Luther Sharp, at
4 cock Monday afternoon reported
its inability to reach an agreement and
was discharged by Judge Heidelberg.
The jury stood seven for conviction
and five for acquittal. The jury be-
gan its deliberations at 9:Sb Satur-
day night and from the first to the
last ballot the vote was the same. AT
noon today the members reported
they could not agree on verdict, but
Judge Heidelberg sent them back for
further deliberation. -Four hours later
when they asked to be heard they con.
vinced Judge Heidelberg that it was
impossible for them to reach an
agreement and were dismissed.
Marion w. Reilly leadirg coun 4
Cor the defense, stated that they
would ask for another trial Of the
case at this term Of court and If time
was rot granted they would ask bond
eor their client, who has been in jail
since the killing in April, having been
Gened bond by Justice Moody Price
at the preliminary hearing.
Today a flaw was found in the in
dictment of Tom Childress, a white
man charged with killing negro wo-
man in this city several months past
The indictment charged murder but
failed to use the word "wilful" Judge
Heidelberg reduced Childress' bone
from 81, 900 to $500 for his appear
ance before the next term Of court
when the grand jury will again in
yestigate his case. Chldress hai
been in Jail since the killing, not hav
ing been able TO make bond.
Luther Hicks, indicted for murder
/ by agreement entered a plea Of guilt!
to manslaughter and was sentenced
TO five years in the pententiary.
