After the house had heard speeches for as hour and a half, a vote was reached on the motion to strike out the enacting words. Inter est and some surprise and excitement, were elicited by the announcement from the clerk that the aye and nay vote stood H to 55 in favor of the bill. This was followed by more sppech maklng, when another aye and nay vote was taken on the motion to In definitely postpone, which resulted In 09 yeas and 64 nays. Then the final , vote was taken on the motion to table ' the motion to reconsider. This result ed to to M against the bill. The ' votes show a growing sentiment In the: ' House la favor of compulsory educa tion, over last session. The cotton mill ; managements say they favor a com- pulsory education bill, and Say that a ' roiroulAory education law will assist them to see that the child labor law is more generally observed. The An- : , derson delegation voted solidly against the bill, but the delegations from the ; Horse Creek valley mill sections - were , divided, as were the Greenville and Spartanburg delegations.

(Furnished by the Cotton Exchange and Board of Trade.) New Orleans, Feb. 1. The talent In the cotton market showed, this morn tng, Just how quickly they can change their views as to the course of prices Yesterday the ataple did not have friend but to-day there were many traders who spent moch money in wir ing, and cabling friends all over the world that the decline had gone far enough and that It was safe to help one's self to the staple again. Some traders who have been bearish since last August at last saw something on which to buy cotton and there were many desertions from the ranks of the New York bears. This change of sen timent did not spend itself in talk, but resulted In some decided buying that put prices up a dollar a bale after they had declined a dollar a bale in the earlier hours. 'The opening was weak with both bulls and bears scrambling over each other in, their efforts to sell cotton, Liverpool futures were lower than ex pected and Liverpool spot i looked de elded ly weak, spot holdcia there ap parently being willing to unload at considerable sacrifice. Miss Giles put out an estimate to the effect that per cent, of thle crop was yet unglnn ed which added fuel to the flames. The market broke until the active positions were 20 to 22 points lower than yester day's closing. At this level heavy buy ing orders, met the market, a large portion of which undoubtedly came from strong people who were going long. It was also currently reported and bellved that Price was a heavy buyer of March and May in this mar ket. The buying, wherever it came from, resulted In putting prices back to yesterday's closing. Around nsn the market was steady, but profit-tak Ing by satisfied scalpers on the long side had shaved nearly ten points from the highest levels of the day. , In the spot market there was a great deal of looking; around but for the most pan buyers, and sellers were well apart In their- views on nrlces. - ud to 12:30 o'clock, about 2,500 bales ot spots and 1,000 bales f.o.b. cotton were traded- in. Spot men claimed spots were all the way from to lower to sell and ft was claimed by manv that one line of 1,100 bales sold at 5-18 under yesterday's quotations or at basis of 10T4 for middling. The basis of f.o.b. cotton seemed to be firm at 20 points on March for Liverpool good middling. The country did not offer freely even at this basis but, on the other hand, many exporters said that they would not trade at a higher basis than IS on. In the Liverpool market futures opened stendy at a decline of 6 to 8 point and closed 11 to 14 points lower than yesterday. Spots were In large demand, sales amounting to 15,000 bales. Middling American lost 13 points at 6.94, Receipts were 16,000 bales. CP. Ellis & Coa Cotton Letter. Special to The Observer. New Orleans, La., Feb. 1. The Haul datlon which has been in progress for the past fortnight could In Inevidence something and for a time the market waa severely depressed, March con tracts selling as low as 10.78. At this decline, very extensive coverings of short committments became a market feature and, before noon, it waa clear ly apparent that liquidation had cul minated for the present at least, leav ing in place of the recent unwieldly long Interest an Irresponsible and scattered short Interest, whose attempt to cover resulted In reaction lift 30 to 85 points before the -close of the day. Mr. Price gave liberal circulation of most pessimistic literature throughout the forenoon but, while his telegrams were being bandied about. It was no tlceable that New York was an enor mous buyer In this market, covering shorts presumably for his account, and at the close of the market this even ing he announced publicly that he haa covered an nis snorts, nor oecause ne haa confidence of tne merit ot tne mar ket but because, after continuous decline of a cent pet pound, he la in clined to expect a substantial reaction especially aa Director North IS to pub lish, to-morrow, an estimate of the amount of cotton to be ginned after the 16th of January,, the prevalent idea la that hi flgurea win ahow about 300. 000 bales to be added to the amount ginned up to the 15th of January but really -Con l tninerinie oocumen? win carry any weight, unless It announces fieuraa widely at -variance, with thla Idea.

Mack HarterlL Highly Re spected Farmer of Ca barms, Makea Desprrate Attempt to End Hlat Life -Has a ; Chanco for Recovery j Deed Due to Mental Derange- ment- ! ' " 7 . , I special to The Observer,. I Concord, Feb, 1, Some time during last night Mr. J, ' Mack Hartse)!. a prominent and substantial farmer- of. No. 10 township, this ' county, arose ! from his bed, went into another room ' of the house, and, using a raaor, cut bis throat from ear to ear. He did not sever the juglar vein, however, and is yet living, with some hope of recover ing. When members of the , famll: arose this morning they found him alone in this condition and very weak from the great loss of blood. On the approach of a member of the family, he again attempted to cut his throat but was prevented from doing so by force. Dr. J. C. Black was called in. He thinks the wounds will not neces sarily prove fatal. Mr. Hansen's friends account for his rash deed by the fact that he is In feeble health, thla having caused his mind to become af fected. Mr; Harteell Is well connected In this county, is in good financial cir cumstances, and no other reason can be ussigned for this attempt to end his life. He ia the father of L. jr. Hartsell, Esq., one of the leading at torneys of the Concord bar. His many friends hope for his recovery. Taylor-Barbee. Correspondence of The Observer. Winston-Salem, Jan. 81. Mr. Henry B.

In ad vanced cases of ulcer of the stomach there, is much discomfort after eating. with a constant gnawing sensation between meals, pain from tne pit of the stomach back to the shoulder blades.
