Hayne, the cotton bull leader, startled the I local cotton world tills morning by bid- I ding the market price for 100,000 bales each of May and July cotton and by bid ding 1-8 over the cotton exchange quo . taiions for any or all the spot cotton In I the city. , Mr. Hayne shouted out to the members who had hurried to the future ring that - this last bid was open all day. More over, he announced his willingness to ' accept any grade from low ordinary to Mr. The market was thrown Into much ex citement by Mr. Hayne’s heavy bidding. Leaders on the bear side quickly reached «, the ring, but they showed no eagerness | to pick up the gauntlet thrown down by ' the bull leader. One house did give him bales of May on his bid for 100.000 ; bales and Mr. Hayne accepted the cotton and yelled for more. Since May Is a spot month, and over half gone at that, this, was equivalent to a spot transaction The price was 15.68. or about 23 points! j over the price of middling spots on the U boards. Twenty-two points means in money UlO a bale. Therefore. Mr Hayne I paid that much more for spots than the R. cotton exchange quotations said spots were worth. £ The market opened very quiet at an ad s' . vance of 1 to » points on indifferent ca bles. Weather reports and the map were more favbrabfe than otherwise and the L market would have sagged off after the J *; eal! but for the support from Hayne. h. • lealpers were feeling out short cotton I If when Hayne stepped to the ring. May had Just traded at 15 88 and July f was trading at 15.88. Hayne waved his arms wildly above his head and in the powerful voice that cotton brokers know so well shouted out that he wanted to buy W.WO May at 13.68; then he made > th* bid of 15.88 for a like amount of July. Suddenly be increased his bids to 50,- SKwo bales, then to 180.000 bales, and then S Indicated his willingness to take all the I May and July cotton the market had for V sale at the price on the boards. Here it was that the SOO bales of May were hand ed him by -the bears. Apparently this w—■ gii the ammunition the short side \ had. for It was all the cotton that went in Hayne s direction. Then followed the bid of an eighth over quotations for all the spots in the city. This was one of the most remarble bids ever made in this cotton market- The health of W. H. Brown. F ho ha ’ : always, until a few months ago, been ia the lead on the bqll aide, continues bad * and Hayne is virtually carrying on the bull side of the market, single handed He is acknowledged to be the master of the spot in New Orleans. Although not in his usual health, Mr. Brown was on the floor of the ex- ► change today and it is the general belief that be is giving his moral and financial support to the bull campaign. Haynes’ bidding had a sympathetic effect on the entire market and at noon futures were 8 to 9 points over yester <lay closing qucULtlonß. Even aft®?' May bad advanced to 15.70, Hayne yelled B forth an offer for 70,800 bales of 3Tay at that figure. ' Hayne s offer of 1-8 of a cent above the eyc-hange quotation for spots is ex pected to result in the board marking spots up this afternoon. Berry School Closes rT 1 ROME.

On the shady side, close . down to the arena, were many Amerl- . cans, including not a few women. Two bands played sweet music to Mex , lean ears, while continually rang the , shouts of the enthusiasts on the bleach ers. J The small boy was there with his cushions, for even the excitement of . watching the tortured bulls and the hid eous goring of the skeleton horses did , not soften the cement seats. i Gen. Pascual Orozco acted as master > of ceremonies. To him the toreador bow- > ed and asked permission to kill. And toward him were directed the shouts of i hundreds of his companions in drrrts. , After the first killing a number of . Americans left. Long before that any resemblance An American might have traced to the crowds at a baseball game ; had gone. The horses were still un i touched, however, and their picadors i brought them out tor the second bull. After the toreador had killed the sec ond bull a peon with shovel and sand cleared away the blood that had furnish ed amusement to the crowd.

FOB MAY 21— IS- 5:1-12. >T DA MANION McK. HULL. Golaen Text: “Woe to them that are mighty to drink wine, and man of strenffth to mingle strong drink.” — Isa. 5:22. In the fifth chapter of Isaiah, from which the lesson today is taken, are two sermons that he delivered to Israel and Judah. The first one ends with verse seven and is a parable. The second one is a seven-fold woe, denouncing six typi cal sins of the people, and in the climax showing what must be the necessary result. An unfortunate selection of verses has made the lesson today con sist of the parable, and part of the first two sections of tbq second sermon. This mtast be understood to prevent wrong interpretation of the passage. Verses 8-12 have no connection with verses 1-7. It is like taking the whole of one of Tennyson’s poems and part of another, to study together, the part must be rec ognized as belonging to something else. THE PARABLE OF THE VINEYARD. Israel and Judah were at the height of their temporal prosperity at the time Isaiah spoke this, but with prosperity, as so often happens, had come forget fulness of God and a decline in spirit uality. They were so much engrossed in their own affairs that they had no ear for God, and would not have listened to His message in direct form. Hence Isaiah gained their attention by this par able. They were all familiar with vine culture, and under Uzzlah at this time, Judah had just made great progfess iff this direction. Everything known to the best interests of vine culture this susbandman is rep resented as doing. The fence and tower were for protection; the best seed were planted: the soil was properly tended; the plants were wwtcheu and guarded; a wine press was hewn out to receive the fruit of the vine. Everything was done with the one end in view of having the fruitage—but there was only offensive putrefaction as the result. (The words "wild grapes” mean this in the origi nal.) . , You can appreciate how the people would feel when those pertinent, point ed questions were asked. God makes the people become their own judges. What more could He have done that He had not done to get fruit? The very form of the next sentences reveals the answer of the peoiple to Tsalah’s questions. The course the hus bandman took was right. He took away the fences, and destroyed the vineyard —as a fruit-bearing proposition it was worthless. Then leaving aside the figure, Isaiah brought home the truth he had been presenting—the house of Israel and Ju dah were meant What had God failed to do for them that might have been done? Think over Israel’s history and answer this. There can be but one an swer. His object had been that they might bear Him the fruits of righteous ness, but instead He bad received from only offensive putrefaction. Is rael was guilty of every crime in the calendar. Judges took bribes, the peo ple were covetous, they were oppres sors, they were drunkards, and many other sins were chargeable to them. Al of God’s care for them had been unavail ing as far as real fruit was concerned. He could do nothing more but judge them. What was His end in the Bc ** n " ing Judgment? Was it revenge? Ttas it the satisfaction of making them suf fer for their sins? Never, never! It was through this purging judgment to save them. The object of all discip line should be the restoration and re clamation of the offender. I fear we sometimes forget that in our criminal courts. God was judging them to save Ask yourself these questions with reference to our nation. What more could God do for our nation that He not done? Stop here a while, w are very greatly in danger of the pros perity of Israel and its consequent sins. Let us be very careful that we yield to God the fruits of rffehteousr ness that His wonderful providences to our nation demand. Stop again. Ask yourself the ques tion, What more could God have done for you a» an individual that He has not done? Do not hurry here. An other question must surely come to four mind: Am I yielding the grapes He ex- nects, or offensive putrefaction? COVETOUSNESS AND DRUNKEN NESS. These are the first two of the elx sins that are condemned in that next sermon. We see the evil effects of In temperance on every sid. Many lessons hav been taught the scholars about intemperance, and it will be to our attention again and a «a ln - T *',® fight against the liquor traffic will never end. Give it a lick whenever you ■get a chance, and the harder the t>et-i ter. We are not so apt to have the sin of covetousness treated, however, so let us note it here. Isaiah condemned as a sin, and as one of first importance, something that is not only very prevalent today among us, but something that is looked upon rather In the light of a virtue. It is something that occupies the larger part of the time and energies of most of the! male members of the church, and ones who succeed at it are highly re- ( spected and praised.

Woe unto them that join land to land. c What is there wrong in acquiring more and more land? Or in our day as it takes various forms, what is the harm in ac quiring more and more wealth, whether it be in lands, stocks, bonds or what not? The answer is found in the end. The essence of covetousness is selfishness. These men of Israel were acquiring tract * after tract of land so they might get away from their neighbors and not be bothered fcy them. To live in the midst of a ten-acre lot would be very desirable to the man with children when bad children lived next door to a ♦''-foot lot; but to try to get out of touch with the other man is selfishness, and this was the essence of their covetousness. It is just the same today. The average man is straining every nerve to acquire wealth and why? So that some day he may retire and take it easy! Isn’t this selfishness? There is no sin in acquiring wealth, in working for money, if the end is right. Wealth is given that we may serve oth ers. There’s no harm in a mam desiring or having comforts and the luxuries of life that hig wealth will give « if the gratification of self in -Ms way does not interfere with his ministry for others in need; but when this inter feres, in that much is it sin. May God deliver us from self in every form! PALMETTO TO HAVE A $25,000 BANKING CO. A ISS.OW bank, to be'known a. th. Pal- , metto Banking company, was chaptered by the secretary of state Tuesday.
