New York Cotton.
New York, Sept. 19. — Easier cables
and reports of better weather south
inspired renewed selling in the cotton
market this morning. First prices
were 1 to 5 lower. The talk suggest
ed a reactionary sentiment and there
was some pressure, under which
prices sold about 6 to 8 points lower.
This reflected a set-back of fully 30
points from yesterday’s high records
on December, but there was enough
covering or fresh buying to cause
rallies of 4 or 5 points before the end
of the first hour.
More numerous crop complaints
from the eastern belt sent the mar
ket 5 or 6 points net higher, but con
tinued realizing brought about a re
acion to about net unchanged prices a"
midday.
Reports that spinners were fixing
prices on cotton bought earlier in the
week helped to firm the market up
after midday and active months sold
10 to 11 points net higher.
Realizing caused reactions or 5 or
6 points around 2 o’clock.

cal Presbyterian church will preach at
both services on Sunday. His subject j
in the morning will he “What Love
Does and Does not Do.” In the even

Ever Right to Sin?” The old question
of whether it is ever justifiable to tell
a lie will ge threshed out in this dis
course.
Rev. Stokes has just returned from
Lee county, where he preached two
days this week to large congregations
twice a day. The services were held at

Concord, N. H., Sept. 19. —An over

morning. Sheriff Drew told him,
however, that if the storm kept the
crowd of curious under cover he
would be permitted to visit the state
house and other public buildings.
The usual large amount of mail
was waiting Thaw and newspapers
were piled high on his table when he

appeared for breakfast. The publish
ed accounts of his own case were read
as closely as ever.
Counsel continued today their prep

Thaw’s behalf to Governor Felker at

The market firmed up around the
middle of the morning on fresh long
buying based on the expectation of
bullish crop reports early next week
from private bureaus. Bears offered
very little short cotton and some lit
tle outside buying came in on talk of
a better spot demand generally in the
southern marketing qenters. Private
crop accounts from the west were still
unfavorable in spite of the better turn
in weather conditions.
In the afternoon the market ad

Atlanta, September 19.—That Gov

board, if his own judgment is contrary
to their findings, is evidence in the case
of H. H. Butler of Grady county, whom
the governor has refused parol \
though it was recommended unani

plains his reasons. Butler was con
victed at shooting at another and sen
tenced to serve three years. The gov
ernor says that the particulars of the
affair were particularly obnoxious and
that Butler does not deserve clemency.

fact to remember about all of them, as
Bro. J. Z. Green is always saying, s
that, we must begin at home and build
up. The time may come when we can

Statesboro, Ga., Sept. At
'Parish, a small town, 15 miles from

fatally wounded by Mrs. W. M.

DIAZ RECALLED 10 SULZER LOSES IN
SUCCEED HUERTA FIRST SKIRMISH
BELIEVED THAT NEPHEW OF
THE FORMER DICTATOR OF
MEXICO WILL RUN FOR THE
PRESIDENCY.
Washington, D. C., Sept. 19.—News
that General Felix Diaz, nephew of
Porfirio Diaz, has been recalled to
Mexico to become the candidate of
the faction of Provisional President
Huerta in the coming presidential
election aroused much interest here
today in official circles.
The general feeling was that the
return of Diaz meant a compliance,
with President Wilson’s principal de
mand that General Huerta should not
be a candidate. So far as auguring
an era of peace, however, the out
look was described as discouraging.
While the American government is
on record with a promise to extend
recognition to the government set up
by a legal and free election, it is sail
to he practically certain that the
United States would not hasten to
recognize Diaz, if he were eleced,
but would wait in accord with the
precedents of President Hayes’ ad
ministration to determine whether the
resulting government was strong
enough to maintain peace and gua”-
antee international obligations.
The policy of strict neutrality with
respect for exportation of arms and
munitions of war from this countr;,
however, will be continued until rec
ognition is actually extended. Tim
fact that the constitutionalist faction
regards Diaz as being jointly responsi
ble with Huerta for Madero’s down
fall, it is thought here, will mean a
sharpening of the contest between the
warring factions.
Just what course the United States
will pursue in scrutinizing the com
ing election has not been definitely
decided.
Woman, Lovely Woman.
“What shall we do with our daugh
ters?” asks a prominent female writer.
That’s easy—educate them, dress then
prettily, teach them to cultivate culture
and a fondness for chocolate bonbons,
rear them up to be perfect ladies and
then when they are old enough to be it
the social swim, the lobsters will
come and get them.
It is possible to have friends who
are not working at it much of the
time.

! ————
Albany, N. Y., Sept. 19.—Governor
Sulzer’s lawyers lost their first fight
, in the high court of impeachment to
day when the four senators chal
lenged by the defense were permitted
J
1 to retain their seats,
j The vote, which was on the ques

tertain the challenges, was unani
mous against such proceedure. The
four sepators directly concernel.
Frawley, Wagner, Ramsperger and
Sanner, did not vote.
Immediately following the vote of
the court the reading of the long ar
ticles of impeachment was begun.
“What answer does the respondent
. interpose to the articles of impeach
i ment filed by the assembly?” queriel
Judge Cullen when Clerk McCabe had
. finished reading the articles of im
. peachment.
Judge Herrick thereupon state 1
- that, pursuant to the notice of yes
. terday that objection would be made
o the validity of the impeachment,
i Louis Marshall, of the governor s
I counsel would argue that point.
Attorney Marshall, reading from
. a prepared brief, asked that the en
> tire proceeding on the ground that
t the “court is without jurisdiction

i The principal attack was directed
, against the constitutionality of the ac
