LAST OF BOOTT.EGGEHs
RELEASED IN STAUNTON

Stanton. Va. Dec. 2S.-J. N. Todd,
the last of the trio OF bootleggers who
were stopped in their passage through
Stanton in a well-equipped tank
car" was released Monday morning
and is now on his way to Georgia A.
M. Smith and Frank Todd were re-
leased some days ago but this man
was being held pending instructions
from the authorities at Augusta, Ga.
Advices from the Southern city
stated that J. M Todd was a convict
out on parole and asked that he be
held here until necessary requisition
papers could be prepared Accord
ter Braxton ordered that the men be
kept in the local jail.
Attorney Whitehead, OF the state
prohibition department. suggested to
Mr.. Braxton that these men were not
protected by the interstate commerce
laws and asked that Todd BE held
until the authorities on the subject
could be fully investigated. A study
OF the authorities has revealedfto Mr..
Braxton that unless a man brings
liquor from another state with tho
intention OF disposing of It in vfr-
ginia, he is fully protected by the laws
covering carriers of interstate COM
merce. 1888
He received several kilograms from
Georgia requesting the mans release
and az the last contained the Informal
ton that Todd's mother had died q
few days ago, his release was ordered.
Under the law he could not be held
here on liquor charge. ). =.

COTTON MARKET IS
PLAYING SEE-SAW
THE CINNERS REPORT WAS FAR
BELOW WHAT THE TRADE
HAD EXPECTED.

The cotton market is undecided
whether to go up or down, and is
playing a game of see saw.
After advancing by Saturday from
2712 cents to 291a cents after the
ginners' report the market opened
weak Monday, and has lost 100
points. At the time of going to
press this morning good middling
was quoted at 20 cents. The
trade-from the most sanguine bear
to the most optimistic bull-was
surprised when the census bu-
reau placed ginnings to October IS
nearly 100000 bales less than the av-
erage guess, and about 100000 bales
less than the National Ginners' Asso-
cation early in the week had placed
the total.
Ginnings to October IS totaled g.
79O,0O3 bales, counting round as
half bales, as compared with 3.719.-
GAS to September 25 last, 1878, sos
to October IS, 1917, 7,3O3,183 to
october Is, 1916, 5,707,730 to Octo-
Der Is, 1915, and 7,621,5S1 to Octo-
Der IS, 1914. The trade looked for
figures between 100000 and 7,1OO,-
600 bales.
The heavy ginnings, however, re-
fleet nothing but drouthy conditions
during July-August, the general pre-
matureness of the crop and its rapid
gathering and ginning,
Georgia's ginnings to Oct. IS total
ed 1,277,736 bales against 1,O44,-
$50 to October Is a year ago. Texas
total was 2,050,555 against 1,556,155
the previous period and 100000 a
year ago, while Oklahoma's total was
345,392, 153,425 and 341,804 re-
spectively.

enty-four pairs of socks.
Now ladies, let's get busy and do
this work; we can and we must. We
must rally to the needs of our sol
der boys. Let these knitted gar
ments be your Christmas work, your
christmas presents-not one, but
Just as many as you can possibly
make. 1t should not be a sacrifice of
time on your part, but a joy and a
pleasure. Think what it means to
our boys to give up home, friends,
business and every comfort to defend
their country and yours. They are
making the sacrifice, perhaps to new
er come back again, as we see from
the casualty lists thousands of them
never will. All those who can or will
or are willing to learn to knit will
please phone or notify Mrs. W. B.
Melton, who will be glad to give any
assistance required. Twenty-three
sweaters and thirty pairs of socks
have been sent recently to headquar-
tiers. MRS. w. B. MELTON,
Chairman of Knitting Committee.
