Tho Port Receipts and Strong Wall Street Orders Bouyed Futures up a Little—The Liverpool Market Favorable. New York, Dec. 12.—The waning In terest in the market was forcibly attest ed in the early dealings Monday, futures changing hands to the extent of only ]<),000 bales the first hour. A loss of 0 to 10 points occurred in the first sales which broke January down to 9.82, Feb ruary 9.48, March 9.54, April 9.66, May 9.70. .luno 9.95, and August 9.97. Jan uary then fell to 9.80, and then reached to 9.39. Februrary sold up to 9.50, March 9.61, and April 9.71, with chief t railing confined to these months. Spot cotton in Liverpool was quoted in buyer’s favor, with the sales amonnt- ing to o.ily 6,000 bales, and receipts 81,- 000 bales. ‘ • Futures started 2.64 higher, but later were 4.64 lower than Saturday, which caused a lower opening of the market on this side. Tho subsequent rally was owing to the fresh buying orders for the Wall street account and the early esti mate of the port receipts, which were only 40.000, against 50,000 last week and 47,000 last year. GOULD STOCKS RISING. . f The Financier'* Death Hat no Depressing Influence In the Markets. New York, Dec. 12.—Jay Gould's death did not depress values. On the contrary, the stocks in which he was a large holder Lave advanced many mil lions in value. Western Union, Manhattan and Mis souri Pacific were the Gould pet stocks, and from the quotations of Thursday, December 2, with Gould living, and though sick unto death, a possible power in the street, and the quotation of Dec. 10, with Gould a week dead, those three stocks are worth more by just *15,831.835. With the stiffening in prices of stocks directly connected with these and the sympathetic rise all along the list, due to the manifestation of this “Gould sen timent." it is safe to estimate the tctal week’s advance at fully 120,000,000. Tried to Rob a Rank. IIawkinsville, Ga., Dec. 12.—Some time since closing Saturday evening an attempt was made to rob the bank of Lewis Leonard & Co.

A friend m ntei is a friend indeed, aid THE QUESTION OF ILLITERACY Northern papers are prone to dwell upon the ignorance of the South and making a great parade of statistics of illiteracy blame and pity us by turns. I n an inti resting letter in the Centnry upon some tenement house evils. Mrs Lillian W. Betts gives it as her firm conviction, based upon close observation covering a period of five years, that the true cause of misery,'suff< ring, poverty, and crime committed in the homesof the lower classes, is the utter ignorance of the wife and mother. Her ignorace prevents her from doing those thing' which would make her home a place < f rest, a refuge for htr husband and chil dren. “Her iguorance,” says Mrs. Betts, “prevents her from baying or prepar ing the kind of food that would give nourishment and satisfy the cravings of hunger, which drive the inmates of the home to stimulants, to tilenc* longings the causes of wbioh are unknown to them.” And as proof she gives the re sults of per sonal investigation. Of two hundred and forty-four women, all wives and mothers, whom she visited, only five knew how to make bread and only one made it. Of the entire nnmber, one woman made tbe garments worn by her self and her children. Three could make tbe garments if they were cat and fa»ted or j ined together. Two made soup once in a while; a few cooked fish. None of them knew anything about cook ing beyond frying meat and boiling a few vegetable. Not one family used oatmeal or any farinaceous food. These women when at home spent their time in their neighbors* rooms or lonnging about the doors. They were seeking to kill time, simply because they did not know how to do the . work necessary to make and keep their families comfort able. From childhood these women bad worked (in factories, had married and bad gone into homes of their own without the faintest ideal, or the least knowledge, of bow to make a home comfortable. Such ignorance is almost inconceivale, hat it is, alas, true, and even the details are given somewhat as follows: Many of them did not know how to make a lire or sweep a room; they burned and wasted the food they attempted to cook, and all of them bad lost children from sheer ignorance of tbe simplest methods of rearing them A matron of a seaside sanitarium testi fied that eighty-five per cent of tbe mothers who came there in the summer acknowledge that they never gave their children baths, and it was a common thing, when told by the resident phys ician to give their child a warm bath, f« r these mothere to inquire: “How shall I do it, slit” They knew nothing of the importance and value of clean liness or regularity. Host at these girls and others like them bad attended school till the age of twelve or thirteen and then gone into f -ctories tobeinde pendent or to aid in family support, bat nt Lhpr at home nor at school.hid they learned tbe first principles of deoent THROUGH THE SENATE to Atlanta, Ga., Dec. 13.-[Special.]- Tbe Soldiers* Home bill passed the Sen- i this morning with only a change as tbe date of holding the election to ratify the action of the House and Sen ate. A motion by Mr. Pinson to make It an unconditional acceptance was defeat- 1 by a vote of 26 to IS.

THE FUNDING BILL LOST. The bill to issue bonds to fund the Interest on the public debt, and taking the money already set aside for paying the Interest and applying it to paying state public school teachers quarterly instead of yearly as now prevails, was after sn exoiting debate, lost on a vote of S3 told. NO MORE TEACHERS* INSTITUTES. If Mr McAfee's bill to abolish county teachers’ institutes and deduct from each t> sober'd salary tbe loss of time m attending any institute, passes the house and gets the governor's signa ture, it will become a law, for the bill passed the senate today by a decided majority—S3 to 10 THE CALVIN SANK BILL. The bill of Mr. Calvin, of Richmond, to take advantage of a possible repeal of the ten percent, tax on State banka, was discussed in the Hoove and finally tabled on a vote of 72 to 37.

Messrs Fleming’ chairman, Hall, Sears, Hill of Merriwether, B >i- f-biliet, Osborne and Neil, of Floyd, were appointed on this committee. One Prominent Man Killed and Oth ers Wounded, Sparta,'Ga , December 13,-Sparta was the toene today of a shooting af fray wbioh was c-ne of the mo«t sensa tional in the history of this county. At 2 o'c’ook this afternoon pistol fir ing was heard on Broad street as a re sult of which Dr. W R- Gilmore lies dead, shot through tbe heart ; Hon. Ju lian West, member of the legislature, is severely wounded in the r ghs arm; Mr. H. Amos in the lower abdomen; Deputy Marshal E. B. Brown in tie r’ght hand, and young Jesse Gilm re, sea of the deceased, in the right hg — None of tbe wounds are regarded as critical exoept that of Amos, who was only a bystander. During tbe late politiosl campaign Dr. Gilmore, who lives in Gluosck county, published a highly obnoxious circular reflating on West and many other gentlemen in Hancock. This was the circular that caused the trouble with Doyle, the negro preacher. It was extremely bitter in its tone. Today West met and asked Dr. Gil more if be was its author. He replied, yes. Then W est demanded its retrac tion which Gilmore refused to make with an emphatic oath, whereupon West slapped his fees. j Instantly drawing his pistol, Gilmore opened fire upon West, who .was totally unarmed, the shot striking him as de scribed. At the same time Jesse npd Beid Gil more, sons of tbe deceased, pulled their pistols and opened fire. One of them fired at Marshal Brown, who rashed up to stop the fight, his ball striking Mr. Amos, a bystander. He emptied the barrels of one pistol and had another ready. In the confusion of the melee it was difficult to know who shat Dr. Gilmore. He was struok with two or three balls, and it is believed by many that Jcsm shot bis father. The Gilmore* evidently expected a row and were welt arm id for it, and quick to precipitate it. , The Coroner’s jury is now investiga ting the case and tha Grand jury is in session, so that tbe facts will soon be known.
