URGES THAT COLLEGE STUDENTS AFFILIATE
 WITH FRATERNITIES
Dr. Edmonds Says Serious Study Thing Of The
 Past

"There Is tendency to consider serious study an outgrown thing declared Dr. Henry M. Edmonds' pastor of the Independent PresbY- terlan church, in his sermon on Frat Men" at the Lyric theatre Sunday night, in which he advised the prospective college student to join a fraternity.
 An inclination 10 spend college life in social pleasure is too much Tn evidence he says, and the "I should wory spirit" in unusual prosperity among college students.
 pr. Edmonds stated that men working their way through college got all there was coming to them i; that their chances of winning athle- tic and other hunors were not lessened. but were increased.
 As to fraternities, pr: Edmonds said scholarship and morals within them are higher than without. He admitted there were evils. but said they were magnified because so much Is expected of fraternities.
 Dr. Edmonds concluded by saylng there was a great work to be done bv fraternities in meeting the de- mands of mankind, in new age when the law must be restated to suit the more modern conditions People must give the new delinea- ton guidance, he said, and must interpret Christ to this age Of ln- duStry.

DEPRE ESS|ON RULES IN COTTON MARkET I
 DURING LAST WEEK
SteadinesS Developed In Ear Iy Trading Lost Before
 Middle Of Week

NEW ORLEANS, July 1-Depres- sions ruled in the cotton market last week, almost from opening session. In the early trading a period or steadiness developed, during which prices of the more active months went 1 to 13 points higher than the close of the preceding week, but by the middle of the week the market was at net losses of 90 to 105 points and at it's lowest levels. Recoveries little later were followed by fresh depressions and the close was a net lC sses on the week of IT to 90 points. July traded as low as 27c pound and closed at 27.13c october traded as low as 23.71c and closed at 23,S6c. In the spot department prices lost 75 points on middling, which closed at 2S.50c a pound, against 2150c on the close of this week last year.
 While rather better weather condi- tions over the belt caused good deal of the selling, unsatisfactory trade conditions were also factor and good deal of the pressure against value was in sympathy with the declines in the stock market Late in the week, in spite of long series of bullish private reports on the condition of the crop, much liquidation came from the long side
  second monthly report of the crop, which is due Monday.
 The bureau report. which will give the percentage of condition on June 25, the preliminary figures on the acreage this season and the yield the two sets of figures indicate, will probably dominate the opening Of the new week. and it's influence may possibly be felt for some time after although, when the report is out of the way, the weather over the belt will be of more interest than ever because 1t Is generally considered that the critical stage of the grow ing season is being entered. At the end of the week 1t looked IS If the average of expectations regarding the condition figures was just about 69.5 per cent of normal against Il on May 25 and 7G as the ten-year average for June 25. Anything above 696, it was considered, would prob ably lead to selling, while anything below would stimulate the demand.

IS GOLSONS GHOST WALKING CORRIDORS OF JEFFERSON JAIL?

Have you seen Willie Golson's ghost?
 Ask this question ss the cells oc- cupied by negro prisoners in the county jail, and In the majority of cases you will receive an affirmative nod of the head in answer. Of course. the answer will not be given before the prisoner gives furtive glance over his surroundings, but even, tually he'll confide the secret to you that Willie Golson's ghost is out on a rampage.
 And 1t all started over Golson's pants.
 According to stories circulating around the jail Sunday afternoon. the day that Golson was hanged he was given a brand new suit. His old clothes were given to trusty in the jail. This trusty, having an eye for business, sold the pants to Dunn my" a negro prisoner.
 Of course. Dummy" didn't know the pants belonged to the hanged negro and they looked good enough it good buy until-until he saw 'Golson's ghost!
 When Dummy" saw Golson's spec tral self roaming the corridors of the jail he knew something was wrong and he gave the alarm. When the warden arrived. nothing could be found of the ghost, but that "Dum- my" was wearing Golson's pants came to light. When informed of this the negro quickly began the op- eration of relieving himself of the undesirable property, declaring he had rather go clothed only by nature than to have something a ghost was looking for.
 But evidently Golson's ghost has not been appeased by the sacrifice of the pants. because early Sunday morning whilst most mortals were asleep he came to the cell of Will Reeves. Will. however, declares he has none of the clothes and that the ghost lost little time visiting his cell.
 Therefore the question now Is Whose cell will he next visit?' Many a rabbit foot was tucked under & kinky head Sunday night with this fervant prayer: Rabbit, don't fail me now. Keep dat ghost away"
 Golson was hanged June for an attack upon a white woman.
