WEEK IN COTTON
New York. —There has been an ex
cited advance in the cotton market dur
ing the past week, with all positions
making: new high ground and most of
them new high records for the season,
on covering of shorts and a broadening
speculative demand. May contracts sold
as high as 14.45 before final maturity
or 14.75 per bale above the recent low
record, while 'December advanced to
12.88. The upward movement has un
doubtedly reflected a scare over the new
crop outlook owing to continued wet
weather in the southwest, while there
have also been many complaints of
drouthy conditions or low night tem
peratures east of the river and appre
hension of a short yield would seem to
have developed coincidentally with in
creasing confidence in continued large
world’s requirements. Realizing was very
heavy above the 12 1-2 cent level nnd
became active enough to cause reactions
of som 20 to 27 points from the best to
ward the end of the week, when part of
the heavy selling was probably in the
way of Realizing for over the holiday
tomorrow and the government report
which is expected at noon on Monday.
Private condition reports have shown a
considerable divergence of opinion but
all of them have been under last year’s
and the official ten-year average of 80.4
per cent, while advices from the south
west have indicated unfavorable condi
tions since the data tchr the government
report were sent to Washington last
Monday and complaints from the eastern
belt have recently been more numerous.
Talk in pome quarters, however has In
dicated expectations of a rapid improve
ment in eastern belt crop prospects,
should the weather improve in the near
future and there has probably been some
selling on that theary as well as on an
idea that th* advance had checked trade
demand and had been suficient to dis
count a low June bureau.

LIGHT TRADING
AT NEW ORLEANS
Texas Rains Main Sustaining
Influence in Cotton Market.
Close 2 to 4 Points Up.
»■ ■ ■
New Orleans.—The cotton market to
day was affected by the holiday at many
cotton points in tlie country and trad
ing was not heavy at any time. The
undertone continued good and even re
ports of rains in the Atlantic States fail
ed to bring out any selling pressure of
consequence. . At their best prices
were five to six points over yesterday’s
last figures. The close was two to four
points up.
Rains in Texas were reported in pri
vate messages and were the main
sustaining influence of the early trading.
Dulls were fftrm in their opinion that
the government report on condition
Monday would not be over 77 per cent,
and they supported this opinion with
moderate buying.
News from the crop continued unfav
orable in tone, although bears pointed
out that more rain in the Atlantic States
would bring about a decided improve
ment. Liquidation, such as was in evi
dence Thursday and Friday, did not ap
pear.

SUITE SCHOOL SOIE
10 TIE OF “DIXIE"
Poem By Fran?: L. Stanton
Adopted By Georgia Teach
ers’ Association Sung in Ma
con First.
At this season of the year when
schools everywhere ar© holding their
commencement exercises, the following
clipping from an exchange may prove
of some value, at least interesting, In
furnishing material for a school song:
The Georgia Teachers’ Association
has adopted a poem by Frank L. Stan
ton, the Constitution’s poet, as the
state school Bong.
It was first sung by the girls of the
Lanier High School of Macon.
The words are set to the tune of
“Dixie.”
About a year ago the Georgia
Teachers' Association appointed a
committee to secure a state school
song.
That committee advertised in the
newspapers of the state for an ap
propriate song, the words to be ap
plicable to the tune of “Dixie,” inas
much as Georgia is the keystone of
the South.
Many so/igs were submitted, many
of them not without merit, but the
committee thought none entirely sat
isfactory and asked Mr. Stanton to
write a song.
The Song.
The song is as follows;
I.
In Georgia Land, where the sky is
bluest,
Heart and hand, where the heart
beats truest,
Sing away, today.
Sing a song for Georgia Schools,
(Chorus.)
Oh, we live to love our Georgia;
Our own, our own.
Our heart and hand for Georgia
Land,
Sing away, away, sing a song for
loved old Georgia.
11.
We love her vales with school bells
ringing,
Her crystal streams to the glad sea
singing:
Sing away, today.
(Chorus.)
111.
'Tls there we learn the state’s high
glory,
The page we turn where shines her
glory;
Sing away; today,
Sing a song for Georgia Schools
(Chorus.)
IV.
Each Georgia son a friend and broth
er,
Their hearts heat high for the school
—their “Mother;”
Sing away, today,
Sing a song for Georgia Schools.
(Chorus.)
V.
Oh, the tics that bind no storms can
sever,
Mother-Land of our Love forever,
Sing a song for Georgia Schools
Sing away, today.

FARMERS ARE WARNED
NOIIO GIVE UP CROPS
Commissioner of Agriculture
Jas. D. Price Advises to Work
Ground For Rainfall.
The following from the Atlanta
Journal will be read by the farmers of
this section with a great deal of lnter
i St : A
Owing to the continued drought snd
little prospects of rain for several days
to come Commissioner of Agriculture
James I). Price Friday morning,
sounded a note of warning to the farm
er* of the state, Impressing on them
the necessity of working the top crops
while the land 1* dry in order to make
It soft and In condition to absorb the
moisture when a rainfall comes.
While admitting that he was alarm
ed over the outlook, Mr. Price declar
ed that he was far from being a pessi
mist and had no Idea of throwing up
his hands simply because weather
renditions happened to be abnormal.
He called attention to the fact that
where rorn had a stand that It should
be worked thoroughly and not left
without attention.
"This Is no time for the farmers to
give up,” he said, "but rather is It a
time when he should exert hts best
efforts toward preparing the land for
the rain that Is sure to come eventual
ly. There will be a loss, of course, but
that loss ran be greatly cut down by
hard and consistent tilling of the land
and after the rain let the work go on.”

CLOSING EXERCISES
OE HARLEM SCHOOL
Most Creditable Exhibition
Friday Night Ended Year of
the High School.
The closing exorcises of the Harlem
High School took place on Thursday,
the 28th Inst. There were no regular
commencement exercises, hut Instead
an exhibition of the work of the pupils
was shown. This exhibition was ar
ranged in the rooms of the school
building and consisted of sewing, cook
ing, drawing and various other works
of the pupils. The exhibit in sewing
and embroidery work was splendid, in
fact could not have been Improved on.
The exhibit in the rooking department
was all that could be desired, the many
dishes containing cakes, salads, and
other eatables fairly made a person's
mouth water. In the drawing depart
ment the work of art was fine, wlileh
showed that much rare had been tak
en in Instructing the pulpls in this lino.
They were all splendid, hut there were
some that really deserved special men
tion, hut spare forbids. Taken all in
all the exhibit to our mind was far
more beneficial to (lie pupils than a
commencement could pohsibly have
been. This exhibit also demon
strates that since domestic selenee has
been introduced and taught In the
school It is fitting the young ladies to
take hold of real things In life, and
when they leave the school room they
will lie aide to make their own clothing
and prepare a meal fit for the gods.
The examination proper of the pupils
both In the higher and lower grades
reflected great credit, showing that
the teachers as well as the pupils have
not been idle during the entire term
of the school. The final close of the
school was a play and an entertain

The Faculty.
The trustees of the Harlem high
school met this week and re-elected
all of the teachers who have been
teaching this year except Miss Zenobla
Peterson, who was not an applicant.
Many regret that Miss Peterson was
not an applicant for she Is a young
lady well fitted for the position of
teacher arid she did some very effi
cient. work. The faculty is composed
of the following:
Prof. It. D. Ladle, Miss Ethel Miller,
Miss Annie Mae Lazcnhy, Miss Chris
tian Coleman, Mrs, Jessie Haughn.
Another teacher will have to be elec
ted to fill Miss Peterson's place.
The Harlem school under the super
intendeitshlp of Prof. Kadle lias grown
wonderfully In the past four years He
Is one of the best educators the Har
lem high school ever had under Its
present system, and the trustees are
to lie congratulated in re electing him
as the head of this institution, and al
so his aide corps of teachers.
NEW BILL TO RESTRICT
THE USE OF ABSINTHE
London. The government’s new li
censing bill, now before the Reichstag
for action, contains an Interesting
paragraph of which no notice has
been taken until now. It gives the
licensing authorities power to restrict
or to forbid entirely the use of ab
sinthe In any of Its forms. Thus far,
absinthe has never become popular
In Germany, and there has been no
occasion to regulate Its production
and hhio, blit the authorities desire to
have a weapon against Its possible
extended Introduction It Is reported
that the Reichstag will accept the bill
and thus far there have been no pro
tests from the liquor trutfe against
any of Its provisions.
