The daily lunch eon* will be continued at the Pied mont Hotel during the week, at which the various team captains wifi make their reports Many preachers in the city gave talks on Oglethorpe University Sunday and urged congre gations to assist in the work. V Of more than usual interest was the talk of Dr. Thorn well Jacobs at the Ontra! Congregational Church in w hich he told the* hlstor.v of «igle thorpe University from its founda tion in 1821 to its death during Hie Civil War period Dr. Jacobs spoke by request. “Oglethorpe traced its beginning from the organization of the Midway Congregational Church in Liberty County m 1778, which was organized by a colony from Dorchester, Eng land," said Dr. Jacobs. “The church fostered the Idea of a university, and in 1S21 it became a reality, and from the beginning was famous “Its faculty and students during the Civil War gave everything to the Confederacy. The monev of the school was invested in Confederate bonds while the students marched forth to right for the cause. It was founded by several denominations, and named for Georgia's most noted Episcopa lion, James Edw ard Ogle thorpe, and is being horn again under the combined efforts of all denomi nations.” “The impression that it makes some difference somehow whether a prod! I is made in handling liquors in clubs j »>r near-beer saloons w hich imprec ision seems to be more or less wide spread in Georgia —is rather hard ‘*> (account for." said a well-known ad- I vocate of strict prohibition In Geor gia to-day. “There is nothing what ever in the idea, of course. “The side question in the dispensing I of liquors iri this State is whoth r i they are intoxicating—or. to be pre cise. and follow tin* letter of the law, whether they are of such a character that, 'when drunk to excess,' they will ‘produce intoxication.' “Prohibitionists generally appear to think that Georgia has on its statu*/* books now all the law it m4ds in re spect of prohibition The present machinery is, we think, effective enough for all purposes, and attempts to get further statutes enacted are favored generally by those interests opposed at heart to prohibition. “There are signs that there may he sonic modifications of the present law undertaken in the Legislature to he elected next summer not the present General Assembly. It should not sur prise me to see prohibition made an issue in a great many counties. How ever, 1 have every confidence in Hie world that, when it comes to a ‘sh wv down,’ the prohibitionists will win. Wo have the votes 1 think there is no doubt of tha t! “It is a mistake to believe that pr >- hibition may be separated from poli tics* it can not. That’s all! And pro hibitionists know it, well and good!” A curious mix-up has be n straightened out —or rather will be In Laurens County, and a railroad ,s to become the boundary line betwe *n Laurens and Montgomery. The discussion of the matter was brought about this week by the sur vey of a portion of the boundary h >• tween the* two counties for the* first sine time in IS.'.',). The line was o proved to be so and crossed the Railroad In such j representatives of the representatives the Legislature defined II asily located, but unusually crooked Wad ley Southern i manner that the Montgomery ma 1c of Laurens a prop osition that the counties make the Wadley Southern road the boundary line, Laurens to have the two arms . f Montgomery fount that extenl across into Laurens now and Mom- gom* rv to have the arm of Laurens th.it extends into Montgomery. The change would give a perm - nent straight line between the tvv » counties, would simplify matters a great deal in the collect ion-of the cor poration tax paid by the railroad t » the two counties, and would result lr each having about the same amount of territory as before. The sections of the counties in volved in the exchange will not amount to more than 3,000 acres al together. Unsatisfactory Liverpool cables and | the failure of nulls to maintain their position caused the cotton market to cpen weak to-day and firei prices wcr#» ■*' a net detune <>t 8 to 13 points from Saturday h close The feature of the trailing was the absence of Gull support which was ap parent l-riday. T he general fe/llng among the local traders is more bear ish Ilian for months and this Is n .striding those who are inclined to the bull side to come Into the market. After the call the trend continued downward. The ring, commission houses were heavy sellers. Some ob servers thought that liquidation by tired and discouraged longs was in progress and everywhere the talk was of lower prices to come. Within half an hour the market bad widened its decline to 16 to 23 points. March was the heavi est preset! option or; the list, dropping to 12.66 for a net loss of $1.10 a bale i The most discouraging feature of the break was the lack of resistive power from the bull crowd. About the best buying came from a few scattered spot interests. Spot saels in Liverpool were again small The weather map showed cloudy weather with general rainfall over the entire cotton belt east of the Missis sippi. Rain was also reported over the middle West to-day. NEW YORK COTTON. By CHARLES W. STORM. NEW YORK.

Towle & Co.: We con tinue our advice to sell on all strong spots. Logan «V Bryan: The unfavorable business outlook, which at this time is having considerable influence, is to some extent shaping tlie course of prices. Hayden.
