THE'CH ARLOTTE N EWS. AUGUST 25, 1 906, TODAY'S ..MARKETS COT TON Times-Democrat. (Furnished by Charlotte Exchange and Board of Trade.) Cev Orleans, Aug. 25. Somebody doubted the expediency of discounting l lLlt at Lhe time when, high tempera tures are beginning to worry big crop 1(,ll,s and unexpected support bobbed t oin a heretofore very bearinsh atttr. while it is hardly probable tWu those Texas shorts who covered vt-iteiday possess exclusive important infonnation, the talent feared fields in tin west were not doing quite so well as generally believed, hence the' ini-nj-oved undertone encountered less op iiciti"u tnan miSht otherwise have been the case. On the whole, how ever, the big influences underwent no material change and immediate fu ture is just as beclouded as ever. The visible supply statement, if anything, favored the bear. ' j s. Bache & Co's Daily Cotton Letter. (Furnished by the Charlotte Cotton Ex change and Board of Trade.) Xew York, Aug. 25. The rallies in tl-e market, are not generally regarded fs anything more than perfectly nat ur'l reactions after the severe decline. Ttviay's market has been typical of the usual Saturday session. Through fears of what might happen over Sunday, hort covering abroad lifted prices quite sharply, and sentiment there is moderately bullish. The response here wvs not at all generous and the market has been inclined to dullness, though fairly steady at the advances, but lack ii s any appearance of robust strength. The bull leader is out with an estimate of crop conditions showing rather more kss during the month than public advices would seem to indicate as possible. Receipts continue to be heavy and the movement free, especially in the Southwest, where the gins are re ported as working overtime. Sentiment may carry prices-higher, but we would advise purchases only on rood breaks from the present level. M " STOCKS V f STORMY MEETING IN Dl$- Atchison Pfd. '.

Special The News. Arlington, Aug. 25. The farmers of this section enjoyed a picnic and rally here Tuesday. It was the first entertainment of this kind ever held Sneeches I concerning the needs and benefits of a perfect farmers' organization were made bv Messrs. C. C. Moore, Sam McWhirter and E. H. Hinson. The farmers seemed to be very much in terested. Music was furnished by the lint Hill String Band. A game of ball was plaved- in the afternoon by the Arlington and Goose Creek, ball teams, which ended in the defeat of Goose Creek. ' The main features of the day were speeches by Mr. C, C. , Moore. One in the morning and one in the after noon. Mr. Moore is a very able and energetic worker and has done much throughout this State and other Southern States for the benefit of the farmer. Mecklenburg should be proud ct such a man. No other farmer ijas ever demanded his rights so boldly and intelligently as he has. The farmer and all who are interest ed in the farmer should, when an op portunity presents itself, support and promote him to any position that would be to the interest' of the man who feeds and clothes the world. t Special The New. Salisbury, Aug. 25. Next Tuesday, the 28th, there will be a district meeting of . Odd Fellows in this city. Grand Master Stevens will be pres ent and deliver an address. For Gor don Lodge John L. Rendleman, Esq., will deliver an address of welcome and, Mr. W. A. Daniels will speak for North State Lodge. The following parties have offered sites for the location of the govern ment building: The county commis sioners offer the lot now occupied by the jail, price $25,000; Mr. Philip P. Meroney offers his home, north cor ner Inniss and Church streets at $10, 000; Mrs. Fannie Caldwell puts in a bid of the home place of the late Dr. Julius A. Caldwell, west corner Inniss and Lee, at $20,000; Mrs. A. L. Smoot and father, site west corner Council and Church, the home of Mr. and Mrs. Smoot, price $13,500; Mr. William F. Snider would sacrifice his oeautiful home, south corner Inniss and Church for $18,000; Mrs. P. A. Frercks offers lot, east corner Lee end Inniss, at $13,875; T. H. Vander ford, Sr., and others, would dispose of the recently purchased Rich wine property, south corner Liberty and Main for $22,000; W. C. Maupin, lot south corner . Lee and Inniss, the Sheets boarding house, $11,000. Eith er of these sites are centrally located, but ones most generally discussed are the jail lot, the Caldwell site or the Snider home. Mr. Early "Snider, of Lexington, is in Salisbury under treatment of Dr. J. V. Brawley for an affection of the throat, caused by swallowing a pin which stuck in the throat causing great pain. The X-ray was used but the pin could not be located. It is supposed Mr. Snyder must have swallowed it entirely, and Dr. Braw ley does not think any serious results will follow. . Mr. Joseph West, one of the best and most popular barbers in Salis bury, who has been in failing health for several years, has moved to Black Mountain at which place he has been recuperating and finds that he is much improved. Dr. W. C. Shaver, of Savannah, Ga., will preach at St. John's Luther an Church tomorrow v morning and evening. Dr. Kinard, of Knoxville, Tenn., who has been called to the pastorate of St. John's, will take up his new work next month. There is no material improvement in the condition of Engineer Robert L. James, who was seriously injured by being struck in the face by a plank from a car on a siding while taking his run -out on Western . 35 several nights ago. He suffers great pain and will be unable to resume active service for a long time. ..197 from that contamination, that life was worth more than that sum." : City Attorney Harris read the staue as to the removal of the case and Dr. Faison seemed satisfied when he dis covered that it .would . not have been advisable. ' ". Mr. Dowd arose at the conclusion of Dr. Faison's remarks and said: "The installation of a new water works outfit, and the supervision of the . general water ' supply is no easy job When the report reached us that the water !was impure, the first thing ordered by us to do was to drain the pond. Experts now say that this was a grave mistake. We have done all that human ingenuity, could suggest to purify the water supply since the present trouble. We are ready to acknowledge the mistakes we made, but I defy any man to show that the water commission has been derelict in duty, has been slack in foresight, wisdom, caution or pru dence. We have been thrown in a false light before the public, we have been held' up as negligent and care less until we are tired of it and I de clare that we will submit to such falsehood no longer. We have taken the public into our confidence from the very beginning of the trouble. We could have stuck those reports from the experts into our pockets, but we didn't. They went direct to the news papers. Everything has been publish ed and the public has failed to appre ciate the open manner in 1 which we have been dealing with this matter. The conditions are not. . perfect. We are trying our best to make them perfect. We must look the conditions fairly in the face. There is no doubt that the fever is due to wells and im pue milk. . Now if you of the board of aldermen will do your duty, in con nection with the police, fire and nealth commission, we will attend to the pub lic supply of water." Mr. Keesler suostantiated the re marks of Mr. Dowd, and declared that the public mind had been thoroughly' impregnated with absolute falsehoods in regard to the position of the water commission to the outbreak at Eliza beth College. "Some citizen has taken is upon himself to inform Dr. Lewis at Raleigh of the condition of the water, intimat ing that the trouble at Elizabeth was due directly to the impurity of water while it is acknowledged that it was not the water supply but the milk Such reports as these have thrown the responsibility unjustly upon this board that has done everything possi ble to keep the water sanitary." Dr. Faison .seized the opportunity, foi a'fejomder: "You sometimes have to make peo pie mad before you can get what you want out of them. I am satisfied now that the water commission has done all that lies in. their power, but we must have better laws. We mus have laws that will enable us to Go what we want to do and know is right and proper. The aldermen, and health commission is going to do all it can in the fr -re to keep- pure the milk and water supply. We order ed, three months ago, a complete out fit for testing, and it has come. Since I have been a member of this board I have done my best in giving to the citizens of Charlotte pure water anc pure milk. I have been accused of conniving with men in order to put money in my pocket. I declare that I would rather die right now as to put one cent in my pocket dishonestly, or that didn't belong there. People cuss- me, I know, but it's all for the betterment m the end. I believe in killing every cow in this county, rath er than infect one single man with death-dealing germs. I am willing now and . hereafter to hold up the hands of the water commission.' On motion of Dr. Faison the follow ing resolution was passed "We, the . members of the health committee of the board of aldermen, and police, fire and health commission in conference assembled, do 1 hedeby, after a full investigation and inter change of thought, heartily endorse the acts " of the board of water com missioners in their efforts to give the city a pure water supply. We fur ther believe that the board of water commissioners are worthy of the full confidence and aid of every intelligent and : loyal citizen of the city, and ex press the hope that the end for which they are so earnestly striving may soon be accomplished." When this resolution - was unani mously passed,, the chairman called the police, fire and health commission in conference for the purpose of dis cussing definitely the open well prob lem and . what , policy should be pur sued as to closing them. After a short conference the following resolu tion was passed: "Resolved, That the well of water on the property of Mrs. H. M. Wilder, on East Eighth street, between College street and .the North Carolina Railroad in this-city, having , been found 'very badly polluted' by the analysis "and ex amination of Gerald McCarthy, State biologist, is hereby . declared a nui sance and it is also ordered that said well be filled up . under - supervision- of i the executive officers of this board ; and that unless the owner shall fill up said well within, five days, said officers shall abate said nuisance at the expense of the owner." The meeting was one of the most interesting: of its kind ever held sin ne the" organization of these various de partments of the municipal govern ment. , . ' . .

Try it and be happy! J. C. Ayer Co., I Lowell. Mase. I my Skin, Itching, Seal Bone Pains, Swellings The Law and the Judges. To the Editor of The Newsu. It is a matter of profound regret that there has been several lynchings, both in North Carolina and South Carolina in the last few weeks, and much has been said in the papers denouncing the lynchers as murder ers, but saying very little about the brutes that were lynched. Of course lynchings are to be deplored and should be discountenanced by all good citizens, but it cannot be de nied that some of the best people in the country encouraged if they did not participate in these lynchings. Now there must be a cause for this state of things. and it behooves us to find out that cause, and apply a remedy. I believe the main cause is in the Law and the Judges that ad minister the " law.. There are too many loopholes in the' law giving the criminal a chance to escape. It gives him the right to object to jurors and his attorney the risht to take ad vantage of any legal technicality to get a new trial or appeal to a higher court; thus putting the trial off to a distant day, with the chance for the criminal to escape. I verily believe that" if the .law was so changed that when a heinous crime was committed that foreshadowed a lynching, the Governor would be required to call an immediate court the judge to se lect a jury of the best citizens, and they - to decide the case from which there could be no appeal, lynchings would in a great measure cease alto- The people demand protection from the brutes that ravish their wives and daughters and murder their fel iT,r nfti,ani in o.nlA blood, and. if the iaw does not give to them adequate headed and open-faced.
