REVIEW OF COTTON
MARKET FOR WEEK

New Orleans, September lin the cot
ton market last week the lowest prices
were made on Monday, when the trading
months were 10 to rs points under the
previous weeks close, and the high prices
were made on Friday, when the market
was 60 to So points over the previous
weeks finals. The net change for the
week was a rise of 35 to 80 POINTS. Liqul-
dation during the last two sessions pared
down the advance somewhat. During the
week prices moved on a range Of 81 to
SS points
Buying was stimulated by continued I'M
favorable crop accounts, cold weather in
the west and wet weather in the east
being considered againsa the crop. Fol
lowing the census bureau report on Amer
lean mill consumption on Thursday prices
went to their highest levels, to 626579
bales, being even larger than expected
by bullish trades.
There was little real selling pressure of
the market at any time. except possibly
around the opening.
This weeks weather conditions will be
closely watched, the low temperatures of
last week having served warning that
the fall and the time of the first frosts
is near Among most traders the date
of the first killing frosts is considered
most important because Of the generally
acknowledged shortness Of the crop. Con-
tinued cold weather this week would
probably be strong weapon for the bull
element.
The spot situation will command the
most attention. Any increase in offerings
will encourage short sellers, while an In
creased demand would stimulate the buy

To-Ho-He, Aged Indian,
Passes to Happy Hunting
Grounds of the Beyond

Admission, September Ito -ho-he, a
full blooded Indian Of collateral tribe of
the Chickasaws, who was born SO years
ago in an Indian village at the base of
Horseback mountain, died last week at
the home of Irwin R. Buchannon, a
south Alabama farmer.
The Indian, To-ho-he, was a servant in
the Buchannon family since he was a
boy, when he was found abandoned and
alone by the side of the dead body Of
his sister Ne-wa who had committed
suicide by throwing herself from cliff
in the approved style of lamenting In
dian madens, following the death of the
remaining members Of her tribe. includ-
ing her father and lover. The young
Indian was found by Mr.. Buchannon's
father, pioneer of this section, and to
Mr.. Buchannon, senior, To-ho-he told his
story, which illustrated how the famous
Pulpit Rock, the highest point in Ala
bama, received it's name.
To-ho-he said there were several cabins
in the bottom lands adjoining the Indian
settlement and the white people who
lived in these cabins were anxious to get
rid of the Indians. so they could have
their cleared land. The Indians were
peaceful, said To-ho-he, but the white
people sent word to the government that
they were dangerous. Soldiers were sent
from Fort Minis to exterminate them and
they did their work we'll. At the end
of the process of determination there re-
manned of the tribe only Kind Bear the
chief, and his two children, To-ho-he
the boy, and Ne-wa, the girl. Kind
Bear soon died of the wounds he had re-
ceived in battle and his children buried
him at the base of Pulpit Rock, and
Ne-wa, his daughter, then built an altar
on a rock to the god of her fathers.
and prayed diligently for the spirits of
her father and lover
1t was from this altar Pulpit Rock
was named, said To-ho-he, from which
1t was evident that he was not a church
member as he did not know the differ
ence between an altar and pulpit 9th
erwise it is a very beautiful legend of
very beautiful spot, and while it is
too late to verify 1t, the story Is probably
as nearly true as any other Indian
legend.

ADMISSION

Admission, September 17.-(Special.)- Ow-
ing to the eleventh-hour activity of the
two candidates for councilmen who are
engaged in a run-off election from the
Second ward, w. E. Parker, county road
overseer, and M. F. Snider, well known
merchant considerable interest attaches
to the general election here Monday, at
which time mayor, president of the
council and 10 aldermen will be elected
In the last city primary, organized la
Dor took more prominent part than in
any previous election in Admission, their
vote being largely responsible for the
nomination of Dr. L. L. Scarborough, al
though C. D. Kilby state senator from
Calhoun, was the avowed labor candi-
date in the race.
The issue in the primary ana in tho
election Monday, the retention or repeal
of the anti-pcketing ordinance adopted
sometime ago, has aroused considerable
interest. In the run-off the ordinance is
chafnpioned by Mr. Parker and opposed
in part by Mr.. Snider. 1t is patterned
after the state law adopted by the last
legislature to prevent the placing OF
watchers around industries where there
ARE labor differences. The labor men

elimination, while the conservatives say
it is merely a protection to the business
interests of the city.
In the first election, Snider led Parker
by a few votes, but contest instituted
by Parker resulted in a tie decision,
several votes having been thrown out on
both sides. The result of the run-ofr
may have the effect of deciding the fate
of the anti-picketing ordinance.
| Thnon w a r1ad favorable
to the ordinance are President John S.
Williams, Aldermen Boozer, Hamilton,
Sawyer and Wigley. Those regarded as
opposed to it are Mollingsworth. Settles
and Powell. The names of j. t. Henry
and Shaler Houser appeared on both
tickets. At any rate. the election of
either Parker or Snider will make the
vote very close when the question comes
to decision.
Other than the perfunctory election OF
the democratic nominees for mayor and
aldermen, the race between Parker and
Snider stands as the sole object Of in
terest in the election. This race. how
ever, promises to bring out a large vote.
When the new council goes into office
interest will center in the election OF
city hall officers. The retirement OF L,
F.. Greer from the race for city CLERK
leaves w. O. Ward as the only avowed
| candidate in the race. l.. l.. Phillips viii
be a candidate for chief of police again
and Ed Jewell will stand for reelection
as sanitary inspector.
Other candidates are expected to. de-
velop after the general election and the
new aldermen will be popular men for
| several days after Monday.

COACH SPARKMAN IS
WELL PLEASED WITH
PROSPECTS OF PREDS
Majority of Old Men Have
Returned and Prospects
for a Winner Are
Bright

Admission, September IT, - Especially
Teddy Sparkman, who has arrived here to
take charge of athletics at the Alabama
Presbyterian college, expresses himself as
being well pleased with the material he
has at hand and with the prospects for
putting out winning team at the college
this year. The team has been somewhat
crippled by the loss of Whteside to Tu-
lane, but other old men have returned
and are showing UP well in practice.
The arrival at the college Of Cation, a
brother of the famous Auburn star, who
played with Howard last year, has been
hailed with delight by the Preds, as he
is showing great form. Others who ara
showing up well in practice are Hugh and
Vernon Anderson, the Hughes brothers Of
oxford, Amory Quinn and Notes. Good.
lett also is promising.
The Pred schedule includes Howard,
Birmingham college, Spring Hill, Albert
Vile, Southern university, Marion and
the Jacksonville Normal school.

vANDY STRONG IN LINE
Experts who have watched the Van
derbilt team in practice express the
opinion that the line is strong. but
that the team lacks scoring power.
Coach McGugin is said to be devoting
much time towards remedying this
by trying to build up his back field
around Captain Curry. Other letter
men of last year who have returned
in addition to Curry, are Cohen, cap
tain of last years team, Adams, Hayes
Cody, Lipscomb, Hamilton and VIII

The Commodores' schedule calls for
games with Pennsylvania, Virginia,
Kentucky State. Tennessee, Sewanee
and Auburn.
Critics have been unable to get much
of a line on Virginia yet as to what
progress is being made in filling
places of last years stars who will not
be in the lineup this year. Virginia
is to play Yale. Richmond, Georgia,
Vanderbilt, South Carolina and North
Carolina.

still appear rather in the dark. The

North Carolina, Georgia, Auburn, Van
