COTTON REGAINED GOOD PART LOSSES Meager Business Locally on Basis 11 Gents. good middling, which was the quota tion for the day before. Offerings were very light at this price aqd number of unfilled orders remained when the day was done. The receipts by wagon for the day were 27 bales. Quotations are revised, good middling being advanced 1-8 ot a cent over Tuesday's figures. The fury ot profit-taking was somewhat spent when the cotton market closed Wednesday, and as result substantial recoveries were made from the disastrous break which followed the reading of the Government estimate o nTuesday. The recovery was made In evidence at New Orleans than at New York, due to the fact that the latter contract market is more on a spot basis than J i the former, where contracts are arely intended to be made good in actual cotton. Spot holders were showing a firmness which made plain their Indifference to the speculative disturbance and this caused anxiety among the shorts. At the close New Orleans had recovered practically half of the slump of Tuesday, while New York had regained 25 per cent ot Its sudden drop on the day before. New York opened 4 to 13 points higher than the close for the day be fore, the near positions leading. Real izing had not been completed by the ■ scalpers on the day before and this Influence reduced the price level some 20 points below the figures. In the afternoon the market Improved, though selling by longs was still in sufficient volume to produce i brief recession. The close was how ever near the best, steady, 11 to 13 points net higher for the day. Spot prices were marked up 10 points. New Orleans opened 9 points lower for December but unchanged to 2 points higher for other active posi tions. After easing off 10 to 11 points prices moved upward. The close was at the highest and 17 to 20 points above the close for Tuesday. Spot quotations were unchanged. Liverpool responded fully to the disaster in tho American market on Tuesday, in fact overplayed it as usual. The opening was quiet and steady 11 to 17 1-2 points lower, the current position making tho greatest loss. Tho close was 18 points below the ay.

WIDE COMMENT ON COURT’S CHARGE To Grand Jury on Gambling and Tippling: Recently Judge Littlejohn gave a charge in which reference was made to dispensing wines to minors and also to playing cards at social gath erings for prizes. He told the grand 'jury that each ot these acts was an offense against the statutes. Judge Littlejohn's opinion was widely copied, though in many in stances the words were so badly twisted as to say things not con templated by the court.

Over all the statf the light-white banner of reform is waving. Human nature has been transformed and men have been made good through legislation. What might be termed public gambling places have been closed, crap-shooting, even, is a lost ayt, the blind-tiger has disappeared in the tall timber and the only block dens are the saloons in the reception rooms and parlors of the homes of some of the state's best people who, strange to say, as a rule help to up hold civic, religious and educational institutions and are really good citi zens. “Having suppressed minor trans gressions of the law, the courts re ferred to arc blazing the way In blottiffg out the greater evils that are making the state a wilderness of LAND SALE GEORGIA—Sumter County: By virtue of an order of the Court of Ordinary of said county, will be sold at public outcry, before the Court House door In said county, be tween tbe usual hours of sale, in the first Tuesday in January, 1908, the following real estate, belonging to the estate of Mary Walton, deceased: Thirty nine acres, more or less, off of land lot No. 160 In the 27th Dis trict of Sumter County, Georgia, bor der as follows: : On the east and west by lands of Mrs. A.
