New York, Sept. 2.—The leading fea
tures of interest in cotton during the
week were wild fluctuations in the Au
gust delivery on the one hand and the
government crop condition report on
the other. Prices hav© declined dur
ing the week 15 to 24 points on fu
tures and 40 points on spots. Accord
ing to the government figures the con
dition of the crop on August 25 was
73.2 per cent against»89.1 per cent
on July 25, 72.1 per cent a year ago
and 63.7 two years ago. The 10-year
average was 73.5 per cent. Factors
making for lower prices have been the
generally faVorable crop account and
steady Sotithern selling, as well as
spllinp for foreign account, partly be-
cauf^ of unsettled foreign politics. Be
sides these factors, mills have contin
ued and in many instances Increased
the curtailment of productions i>erhaps
as an answer to rccent exportation to
planters by Southern p>oliticians, “to
hold cotton for 13 cents.” Recently the
hot. dry and unfavorable conditions
in Texas and Oklahoma were relieved
by good rains and lower temperatures
a» was also the case in parts of the
Eastern cotton-producing region, while
e.xcesslve rains in he south central
belt have been succeeded by clear
weather. The receipts of new cotton
are looming larger dally, offerings of
new cotton are increasing and the
spotted condition of general trade
leads many to believe that supplies
of raw cotton will be able for cur
rent requirements. Vet it must be
borne in mind that the crop is not yet
gathered, that it can be easily dam
aged by storms, inp-ects or by early
frosts and that local stocks are small
and are controlled by powerful inter
ests. Then, too, many unfavorable
crop accounts have been received. Ar
kansas has complained of damage by
insects and by shedding; Missls&ippi
and Alabama have sent emphatic com-
j laints of worm damage and there has
tindoubtedly been damage by the rec
ent rains and cooler weather have
repaired much of the damage in Tex
as and Oklahoma. It has moreover
been averred that there has been
damage to the crop of sea island cot
ton and in the eastern belt it is claim
ed that the expected early movement
ol the new crop will be delayed.

CHARLOTTE PRODUCE.
New York, Sept. 2.—Some signs ap
peared in the stock market this week
of relaxation of the pressure which
was directed against securities al
most continuously In the month just
ended. Although frequqent efforts
were made to extend the decline, lit
tle headway was gained in that direc
tion, and several times the market
developed an upward tendency. This
was attributed largely to short cover
ing rather than to a change in the
trend of opinion as to the outlook.
Anxiety as to the labor situation on
the Harriman railroads was aggravat
ed by signs of unrest among the em
ployes of other systems, and it was
felt that this factor would act as a
deterrent to stock market activity un
til It should be cleared up. July rail
road returns in many cases were un
expectedly favorable, although some of
the larger systems, including the Har
rlman lines, showed a large falling off
in the receipts.
The government cotton report was
of little effect upon the stock market,
despite its unfavorable character, as
it had been largely discounted by
earlier private estimates.
New Orleans Man Stands Pat.
By Associated Press,
New Orleans, Sept. 2.—“New Or
leans oottaon men are standing pat in

Judge Ctawjord
Biggs Resigns
Durham, Sept. 2.—Judge J. Craw
ford Biggs yesterday afternoon tender
ed his resignation as Judge of the
fifth superior court district of North
Carolina to taffe effect September l8th,
at which time he concludes the Watau
ga court at Boone.
Judge Biggs begins that term Mon
day, September 4th and it goes two
W’eeks. Upon its conclusion he will
return to Durham for general prac
tice, from whioh he went in the elec
tion of 1906. His plans, it is said, are
to locate here, where he has also made
arrangements for lectures to the Trin
ity college law department, headed by
Dean Dr. S. F. Mordecai, which insti
tution, so strong in this branch of
learning, must be accounted the most
fortunate of schools.
Judge Biggs fs moved to resign, first,
on account of his family, from whom
he must be removed the greater por
tion of his time. He said yesterday
afternoon that he felt that he ought to
resign and that the unfailing reason
for his resignation w'as the desire to
be at home. For the next several
years he declared, the courts will be in
the extreme western part of the state,
several hundred miles from this place.
The increased numbr of regular courts
will make him si>end from 40 to 45
weeks of the year away from home
and his first duty he conceives to be
to his family.
Judge Biggs has not made his plans
here for the opening of his law oflice
but will do that upon his return. His
judicial career, which has been of
marked brilliancy, has been but five
years, and in his youth, for he is not
yet forty, he has come to be regarded
one of the wisest men of the bench.

Oklahoman Uses Cane on Clerks.
Washington, Sept. 2.—Representai
tive Charles D. Carter of Oklahoma,
created a sensation in the heart of the
smjart shopping centre yesterday by
assaulting four clerks, one of whom
he alleged, insulted his 18-year-old
daughter, "Miss Italy Carter, who was
with her father on a shopping expedi
tion.
Having dealt summarily with the
four clerks. Representative Carter,
who is 76 years old, sent his daugh
ter home in an automobile and pro
ceeded to the nearest i)olice station,
w'here he explained the incident which
led up to the trouble.
He . was not detained and considers
the incident closed unless the four
clerks demand an investigation.
Representative Carter assailed the
first clerk, Joseph Josephson, with his
fists and when three of the young
man’s companions came to their
friend’s aid, the Oklahoma congress
man brought his walking stick into
play and wielded it vigorously until
he was master of the field.
According to Mr. Carter, his daugh
ter described to Josephson a certain
kind of coat which she wished to pur
chase. He declares the clerk thought
Miss Carter was unattended and
sought to engage her in conversation.
“Continuing his advances, which
were followed by repulses,” sajd Mr.
Carter, “the young man became in
sulting. When I politely asked the
clerk the cause of the trouble, he be
came infuriated and said uncompli
mentary things about my daughter. I
told her to accompany me from the
store, and as we reached the door he
called me several naes. I returned
and prepared to strike him, when he
started towards me. I then gave him
as good a licking as my long expe
rience on the plains and as a boxer
would permit. I then started to leave
when three of his assistants took up
the fight. I was plainly outnumbered,
but I struck right and left with my
cane and finally routed the entire
bunch.”

O. O. ATTO, Observer.
Pitts gave it as his opinion that the
horse was going 20 miles an hour.
This was very much doubted by Col.
T. L. Kirkpatrick,,counsel for the wo
man, who said he had had a great
deal of experience with horses and
opined that unless the horse was ac
tually doing its level best it could not
be going 20 miles an hOuv.
"Hov,' fast does the average horse
go when given free rein, Mr. Pitts?”
asked the colonel.
"I don’t know'; I'm not an expert,”
replied the officer.
"Well, he couldn’t go 20 miles an
hour unless he was running aw^ay
could he?
“I think so, I wouldn’t give much
for a horse that couldn’t trot 20 miles
an hour.”
“Why don’t you know' that the
world’s trotting record is about 2
minutes?”
“I think that record has teen lower-
ed,” said the oftcer.
Here, what horse are you discuss
ing,” interrupted the recorde:*.
“Well, we are talking about trot
ting records now,” said the colonel.
well, v/as the womail driving a pac
ing or a trotting horse.” asked Judge
Smith, ‘ if you are talking of pacing
records Dan Patch has them all beat
to a frazzle.”
“Oh, no,” said the colonel,” “the
horse in question was a trotter and
of the Nancy Hanks type.”
Here a bull in the dialogue took
place, as if there were need of expert
te,Sti>*io>iy speed records. Col
onel Kirkpatrick volunteered that he
had had a great deal of experience
with horses and was extremely doubt
ful if the horse could have been mak
ing 20 miles per hour.
“I think Mr. Pitts is mistaken about
the speed that was made by this wo
man’s horse, although it is a good
stepper. I know w'hat I’m talking
about, your honor, I‘ve had too much
experience along that line.”
“I expect,” said the recorder, "your
experience has been mostly with
mules, hasn’t ft, colonel? You worked
mules mostly when you lived out in
Sharon, didn’t you?”
Since it was .established that th-3
present speed limit across the square
was 5 miles an hour the conclusion of
the court was an acceptance of the
testimony of Officer Pitts that the
speed limit had been violated.

THE NEW THOUGHT
"I hear your wife is in a very
swagger set.” “Oh, very swagger.
She lost MO at bridge the other day
and her hostess made her leave a
diamond ring as security.”—Pittsburg
Post. ,
“I have gotten a great deal or
pleasure from anticipating the trip.”
“Mere pleasure, possibly, than you’ll
get from the 'trip itself.” “Thats
what I think. So I’ve decided to stay
at home and save the money.”—Lou
isville Courier-Journal.
“A party platform is a mighty
Important consideration,” said one
statesman. “Yes,” replied the other,
“a party platfoi’m In politics is a
good deal like a bunker in golf. The
rules require it, but you show your
skill in avoiding it.”—Washington
Star.
“I’ve got a great story,” says the
new reporter. “You have?” growls
thee ity editor. “What is it?” “The
only actress who never married Nat
Gk)odwin is engaged to the only man
who never married Lillian P.ussell.”
—Life.
When hope recoils I clear a path
For mortals where the road is har3
I reap from failure’s aftermath:
I enter where the gates are barred
O’er seas unsailed I hold the helm
1 cleave a passage through the air;
I find the goal of every realm:
My questing foot is everyv/here.
I raise the burden for the faint
And press his shoulder to the wheel;
Train him to scorn the week com
plaint
And bruise distrust beneath hia
heel.
Who wooa me finds his boon at
len^h
Unaided, while for others sakes
He shares th© brotherhood of stength
And to his helpful self awakes.
—John Troland.
