RETURNS TO SCENE OF CRIME
COMMITTED IS YEARS AGO


Robert Phillips, after having been a
fugitive from the law for s. years, re-
turned to his home in Murphy, few
days ago. Thirty-fve years ago, Phil
lips, then a boy of eighteen, during a
difficulty with another rnan named
Singleton, killed Singleton with .
rock and rushing to his home, Obtain
cd money from his father and left the
state For years nothing was heard
of him. He disappeared as completely
as If the earth had opened and sWal-
lowed him. Just before Christmas he
came eto his. fathers home in Murphy
and Immediately notified thet authoEi-
ties Of his arrival and stated his will
ingness to stand trial. Bond was ar
ranged: and the trial will be at the
next term of Cherokee county superior
court. Strange to say. it is stated
that the witnesses to the affair are all
still living.
Phillips, when he left his Murphy
home, thirty-five years ago, went di-
rectly to New York city where he
lived for five years. Since that time
he has lived In almost every section
of the United States and has visited 8
number of points in Canada and Mex

A BISHOP AND A PRINCE.

With the characteristic bigotry of
the English, Bishop Ryle. dean of
Westminster, resents any suggestion,
even by implication, that England is
in any degree responsible for the de-
LUCE of blood and fire that is deVastat-
ing Europe. The attitude of the bish-
op, and also of large section of the
British press, is that the only terms
upon which peace can be established
is that Germany and Germany alone
bear all the odium for this crime
against God and against humanity.
He and they seem to forget that his
tory will adjulge and posterity will
affix the blame where it belongs. No
matter what the outcome may be or
what the terms of peace, the respon-
sibility will rest in it's rightful place
and all the world will know when
the causes and events shall have been
viewed in the dfspassionate light OF
history. No man can now under
Stand
The surprising thing, however, is
| that a great leader of the Church OF
the Prince of Peace, upon the anniver-
sary of his birth, should assume the
| dCLlLuu0s CudI TIE only JS1 uS VI pOcSCG
that can be tolerated are the defeat
and punishment of the enemy. Does
the bishop believe the sermon on the
mount? Does he think that the teach
Ifngs Of the Counselor are abstract
sayings to be repeated only in the
catechism, or does he believe them
to be the words of wisdom laid down
by, the Counselor for the guidance OF
men and of nations? Does he intend
to attach a new meaning to the name
Church Of England? Is he follow
er of the Prince of Peace or of Mars,
the god of war? Does Christendom
really belive in Christ? Either Jesus
was the Son of God or he was an i'm
poster. If he was the Christ, his
words are the words of wisdom, wiser
than the wisdom of the world, and his
teachings should be the guide of those
who believe. If he was the Christ,
then the law of love should be the law
of men and nations. When he said
l"Love thine enemies" he meant exact
lily what he said. If the Nazarine was
Christ, then peace can never be estab-

ED PAST YEAR ON WAR MAP.

The dawn of 1917 finds the belliger-
ent armies temporarily, at least, Vir-
tually deadlocked everywhere except
in Rumania. 1t finds also in the air
a suggestion by the Teutonic allies
that theya-are ready, to discuss peace,
but no basis for the ending of hos
tilities has yet been advanced by them
and the entente allies have signi1ed
their determination to continue fight
| ing until their oft-repeated desires are
complied with.
| The war map in the main theaters
of the war at the commencement of
| the new year shows at numerous
points material changes in the lines as
| they stood year ago. On the front
| in France the Germans in the SOmme
region have been driven back by the
French over fronts of considerable
size while the Germans in the Verdun
Esector made notable gains toward the
fortress but later lost a part of the
| terrain through a French counter Of
| fensive; the Italians have advanced
their line on the east closer toward
Triest and the entente allies operat-
ing from Salonih have placed the
Serbians on their native soil again
! and also have pushed forward their
lines at various points in Macedonia.

Russian general. Brussiloff from the
Pinsk marshes to the Carpathians

Man fortress triangle of the Aust1o-
Germans and in the capture Of much

Half of Rumania which entered the
war in August on the side of Their en-
tente is now in the hands of the Teu-
tonic allies. The sweep of the Rus
SLAMS through the Caucasus region
and Turkish Armenia has compelled
the Turks to yield much territory
while in the south the British in their
advance toward Bagdad have been
forced to give up their strategy base
at Kut-el-Amara and are being held
, to virtual stalemate by the Ottoman
forces.
Aside from Rumania there is little
activity on any of the fronts except
/ by the artillery wings of the belIiger-
ent armies. On the Meldavia-T-ran-
| sylvania front of the Rumanian thea
ter the Teutonic allies reinforced, are
still making progress in their. drive
which apparently has as its object the

troops moving north into Moldavia.

from the Russians and PCmanians on
both sides of the Oituz Valley anu in

New Orleans Cnttnn

New. Orleans, April f31-Cotton was under considerable selling pressure to- day. a certain element among profess sonal traders making strong efforts to bring to liquidation the long inter- est recently taken on. Momentarily on the opening prices were at a net ad- vance but they quickly eased off and at the weakest period of the session showed a net decline of F to 32 points. Toward the end the tone was steadier, sellers taking profits, and the market reacted from the decline closing at net loss for the day of 4 to 15 points,
 Wet weather in the eastern belt and continued drouth over Texas caused buying which put the market 12 to II points higher before the session was very old Selling commenced on this hard spot and quickly grew to large proportions. By the middle of the day the market was at it's lowest. A re- port that Germany had announced the intention of sinking without warning vessels in all parts of the North At- lantic was a depressing feature. In the afternoon some of the steadineAs was derived from the unchanged spot quo tations.
 feature of the reports from the belt was the claim that unfavorable weather and the planting of food crops would serve to cause a decrease in the cotton acreage in some sections.

MARKET NERVOUS
 AND IRREGULAR
Uncertainty of Conditions Arising From War Sets
 Back Trading

New York, April 1S - The cotton
 market was extremely nervous and ir- regular during today's trading. July con
 tracts sold at 2G.47c early in the morn
 ing but broke to 1997c and closed at
 2Go5c with the general list closing irreg-
 ular at a net decline of , to 26 points Uncertainty to economic measures
 likely to be adopted in connection for the
 war seemed to unsettle sentiment while
 the feature of the decline from the early
 high level was active selling of old crop positions by prominent spot house broll-
 CTS. This led to rumors of continued free
 spot offerings in the south but much of
 the selling here was attributed to liqu-
 dation after the advance of about GO to
 75 points from the level of Wednesday. There was a renewal of yesterdays
 late buying movement at the opening and first prices were to Il points higher. The demand was encouraged by rather unsat- isfactory weather reports, the firm open ing of the stock market and the amount of space given to peace talk by the morn- ing papers. May contracts sold up to 2077c and october to 1917c shortly after the call with the general list showing advances of 13 to 21 points from last nights closing figures. It then seemed however, as to the buying power in spired by the peace rumors had been pretty well exhausted and the market soon turned easier under scattered realiz- ing. This became more active and urgent as it was seen that spot houses were sell CTS of old crop months and stop orders were uncovered on the break which car- red May off to 2135c and October to 1S.S9c, or about to 29 points net lower. Reports that Germany would soon an- nounce an extension of the submarine war zone to cover the entire north At lantic ocean may have contributed to tnis decline, but the chief factor seemed the selling by spot house brokers and ner- vousness over the continued agitation l for government control of food prices with the possibility that it also may be advocated for cotton. Later fluctuations 1 were irregular with the close showing
 rallies of several points from the lowest on coverings.

Sugar Market;

New York, April 13-The market for raw sugar was considerably more active today and prices were 1-16c higher on re- newed demand from refiners. There were sales of about 100000 bags of Cubas for prompt and April shipment at 5ssc cost
 and freight equal to 6.39c for centrifugal 5000 bags of Cubas for last half April or early May shipment at 7-16c, equal to 6.46c for centrifugal, and 10000 bags of Cubas for April shipment at 7-16c cost and freight, equal to 6.46c for centrifugal. The market closed firm at 7-16c for Cubas cost and freight, equal to 646c for centrifugal and 5.5Sc for molasses. No changes occurred in refined sugar. which was listed at from 7.500S 25c for fine granuated but business was again small owing to the light offerings from refiners, most of whom were out of the market entirely One was said to be talk ing very limited business at 7.50c. The strength in raws and apprehensions lest the new extension of the war zone by Germany would hamper the shipping situation caused an active buying move ment in the market for sugar futures, with closing prices , to Il points net higher, or within a point or two of the best of the day. Sales were 23,250 tons. Spots and leading Wall street houses were the principal buyers, although there seemed to be some demand from trade interests as we'll Some of the Wall street buying was said to be for Euro pean account May sold from 543c to 5.52c, closing 551c; July, 5.5Sc to 5.66c, closinf 564c; September, 5.69c to 5.76c, clos ing 5.73c; December, 5.24c to 5.29c, closing 5.25c.

WEEKLY REVIEW
 OF COTTON MARKET
Declaration of War Against Germany Led to Sharp
 Advance in Cotton

New York, April 13.-The bullish ex-
 citement stimulated by the declaration of
 war between this country and Germany
 led to very sharp advance at the open
 ing of the market after the Easter hoii-
 days May sold up to 2l21c. making an
 advance of 253 points from the low level
 of the previous Monday and of sac per
 pound from the low point touched on the
 big break which followed Germany's an-
 nouncement of unrestricted submarine
 warfare. Other months also made sharp
 advances, with October selling at 1975c.
 comparing with 1753c. the recent low
 level. At these figures, however, of
 ferings increased and the market has
 since been extremely nervous and ir-
 regular, with May selling as low as 2O.OSc during yesterdays trading and closing
 tonight at 20.3sc. The impression has
 been quite generally expressed around
 the ring that the advance caused by the bulsh view of this country's entrance into the war had met increased spot offerings. The price most generally men | toned by southern advees in connection with the recent holding movement has
 been in the neighborhood of 20 cents,
 and while the advance In futures was ac- companied by many predictions of 25- cent cotton, increased "sales in the south
 suggested that holders were turning 1 loose part of their remaining supplies. | The reaction was also promoted by ru-
 mors that a little cotton might come here from eastern belt points for delivery on May contracts, and there may have been a little selling on reports of showers
 or rains in the southwest. More generally speaking, however. the pressure was at-
 tributed to liquidation of old long &C.,
 counts and a tendency to even up com
 mitments while waiting for the develop ment of war measures or a more defi-
 nte view of the new crop start. The
 unsettled settlement noted around the | ring toward the end of the week seemed | to arise partly from the talk of govern | ment control in the marketing of food | stuffs and apprehensions that agitation | for such action might extend to cotton. | The first weekly report of the weather | bureau for the season was regarded in l line with recent private advices indicat- l ing late start for the new crop on the | average and failed to create any fresh | sentiment. Ideas as to acreage have been
 confused by reports of an urgent cam paign in the south for increased food crops and continued complaints of labor
 scarcity in some eastern belt sections.

Shepard & Gluck's Letter

1 Received over w E, Campblells private l wire)
 1 New Orleans, April 13.-After doing bet ter business the opening of the cotton
 market fell off today under pressure I from short interests evidently seeking to cause liquidation among recent buyers. At first the tone held steady enough but 1 toward noon the market took on an easier feeling.
 July was under special pressure, espe- cially in New York, and bear rumors were to the effect that cotton would be shipped to that market to be rendered on contract /! in July and also possibly in May Remem- bering how well deliveries have been cared | for thus far we do not think it wise, in ] view of the very strong position spots are in, to pay any too much attention to | this sort of talk
 | While 1t is apparent to everyone that | there is now a lul in the spot demand, 1 this does not mean that there is any more cotton in the supply nor that the demand will not strengthen at any mo- ment
 | There is one great fundamental truth upon which the bulls are working this season and that is that there is. not enough cotton to go around. | The weather was as unsatisfactory as ] ever, although short sellers appeared to be encouraged by the map and forecast. 1 Texas was dry and the eastern belt was lwet The forecast was for generally fair weather over the belt, but preceded by l showers tonight in Georgia and the Caro- | linas. This was unfavorabe for Texas 1 and hardly favorable for the Atlantics, even though they may get fair weather tomorrow. The soil is soaked in that part of the belt and further rains are
 hardly short of calamity.
 l We believe in buying on any further | depressions from present levels.
