The cotton market showed renewed firmness ear ly today. Liverpool was again a pur chaser here while there was further .trade buying and scattered covering, which was most active in the late months. First prices were 1 to 15 points higher and the market sold about 20 to 35 points above last night's closing figures during the early trad ing with January touching 27.68 and March 27.60, making new high re cords for the season. The small loss of tonnage through submarine sink ing for the past week encouraged the more optimistic view of export pros pects. ,. Trading was less active during the early afternoon but prices held steady with January ruling 27.27 and March 27.42, or about 20 to 30 points net higher on the more active positions. The advance extended to 27.77 for January and 27.53 for March during the forenoon with later months show ing even greater firmness and with . active positions generally selling 21 to 49 points net higher Realizing then became more active and there seemed also to be more , southern hedging, attributed to re ports that private returns indicate a ginning of 1,390,000 bales between November 1 and 14. January sold off to 27.57 and March 27.33, or about 20 points from the early high level, with the market somewhat unsettled around midday. Chappekk, general secretary of tho Sunday school board, delivered the ad dress. ''' One of. tho most interesting talks that. has yet been made to the confer ence was delivered by Dr. j, W. Lonii, a major, in the United States army, who is on his way to France. Dr. Long spoke in part as follows: "The church and the state are on the same job. Jesus said that He came into the world to destroy the works of the devil. Now, if destroy ing the Hohcnzollern's does not come tinder that head, I fail to understand the nature of the Imperial govern ment. And the needs of the church and state are the same more men, more men, more men. Millions are on the way and millions more will follow jn. God only knows how many it will take. "And both must win. This war will not stop until the last Hun is stopped in his wild : career. ' ' "Another point of similarity is the nature of their food supply. The German and his allies will fight until gaunt hunger stalks through that land and palsies his hand. The apostle, John, said that we must make no pro vision for' the body to satisfy the lusts thereof, and so we must starve the old devils of lust and infamous de sires for power. "Fourteen hundred civilian doctors have already responded to the call of the nation and not one of them was drafted, and now 4,000 more have of fered their services. More than four teen per cent, of the doctors of North Carolina are now in the uniform of the army. We must go. We have to go. We don't have to come back. My boy is on tho coast tonight and I must go to him." Tho Quinine That Does Not AfTVvf r?,n,i Because of its tonic and laxative ef- t feet. Laxative Promo Quinine can be i taken by anyone without causing ner- i vousness or ringing in the head. There i is only one Bromo Quinine." E. W. OKOVB 8 signature is on box. SATURDAY morning, after break fast, that Skinner boy was lean ing over the gate, with a stone In his hand to see If there was any dog coming along that he could throw at, when his mother came to the door and called out: Humpy, 1 want you to do, an er rand for me." "Yes, mother dear." "I want you to go to the grocery and get me a cake of yeast. You can be back in 10 minutes." "1 think I can go In five," replied Humpy, and off he started. It. m-as only two blocks to the gro cery and it was too short a walk for Humpy. He went down the street five blocks looking for dogs, goats and boys, and then turned and walked four blocks more. He was going to make for the grocery, but there was a red Mag out on a building, and he saw that an auction was going on. An auction Is as good aa a circus for a boy, and he made his way in, and the cake of yeast wai forgotten. The auctioneer had sold many things, and, an hour had passed away, when a big bass drum was put up for bidding. Three or four men had made their bids, when a man, who stood beside Humpy, said to him: : i "1 want that drum for a brass bond, but I live a. mile away, and do not want to carry It through the streets myself. If I will buy the drum, can I get you to take it home for me? I will give you 10 cents, and you can have fun pounding it as you go along." It was the greatest temptation that could have been offered a boy, and the man bid high enough to get the drum. It was tightened up and made ' ready for a beating, and then he gave Humpy his address and fastened the drum to his chest and saw him set out. The drum seemed to stick out in front of the boy like a big bay win dow on a doll's cottage, and Humpy could not see tho sidewalk within live or six feet of his toes. When he got out on to the street he began running into pedestrians the first thing, and, when he had bumped a policeman off the sidewalk he was told: "You blamed, infernal boy! What are you doing with that department store hung In front of you 1" "1 am carrying homo a drum," an swered Humpy. . "Welt, if you are. going to carry thot thing through the streets, you'll find lots of trouble before you get ; there. You had better get on to a side street, as soon as possible, and you'd better take the middle of, the road if you can. . It must have been a fool who got you to carry that drum!" Humpy took a side street after run ning Into three more persons, and he also began beating the drum. Tum-tum-tum it went, and the people on the sidewalk looked In vain for the rest of the band. Humpy was not th only boy In that town. By several thousands they heard that tura-tum-turn for a mile off, and they came running to see what was up. There was soon a procession nearly a block long behind the drum, and it wasn't very long before a policeman ran out from the sidewalk and grabbed the boy and the drum at the same time, and demanded: "What sort of fooling Is this! Where are you going with this drum?" - "I'm taking It home for a man who bought H at auction," was Humpy's reply. "Well, you take it off your neck and parry It In your hands or I will take you and the drum to tho stationhouse! JTou ought to know better than to get people all excited!" The drum was removed, but Humpy :ould not carry it in his hands. Of course, 200 boys volunteered to help him, and one was accordingly chosen. There was no beating until they had gone half a block and turned a corner. Then the tum-tum-tum was resumed. Humpy heat with one stick and the boy with the other. They passed horses, and the horses stood on their hind feet and pawed the air. They passed house after house and stores and shops, and everybody came out and demanded to knew what was tip. More boys fell Into the procession, and there was waring of hats and cheer ing. Humpy became afraid of results, and entered a big lirery stable to wait tor the crowd to scatter. He made bis entrance with a tum-tum-tum, and every horse In the barn began to paw or dance. The livery man rushed upon him and shouted: "What in the Old Harry are yon hoys doing In here! Get out of this mighty quick with that old drum!1 The drum did not move fast enough, so the Indignant man kicked one of the heads in and cuffed half a dosen hoys. When they had got well away the drumming was resumed. It had a fiat sound, but that only made the people wonder the more. Most of them took It as a funeral, and there was a constant demand to know who was dead. At length the drum had to take to the sidewalk to avoid some repairs In the street, and here the mob rested for a moment. There was an old wo man with a cat tn her arms coming along, and she walked up to Humpy and asked: "Has there been a big battle some where?" "Not as I hare heard of," he re plied. "Then what are you logging that old drum around for?" "I was hired' to take It home, ma'am." , "Then wTiy don't you take Itt" "I am going to In a minute," "I know what you boys are up tot" shouted the old woman. "You knew I walked out every morning with my cat to give her some fresh air, and you planned to meet me with your old drum and scare her Into fits. She never heard a drum before, and Is ready to die with fright! Get out of this!" The procession could not move for a minute yet, and, of a sudden, and, after a loud tum-tum-tum, tho cat escaped from the old woman's arms and went racing across the street. "Now, you have done it!" shouted the owner, as she waved her arms around, and she fell upon Humpy and the other boy, who had direct charge of the drum, and cuffed them. Into the street Then she kicked In the other head of the drum, and she gave the shell a kick that sent It rolling into the street and directly in front of a trolley Car, where It was run over and smashed te prin ters. There was a wild yell from a hun dred throats, and, tn about a mlnutt not a boy was left in sight. The ran up a street and down a street and Humpy waa among them. Hi had played on the drum, and severa. people had played on him, and all a' once he had a great desire to gx home and see his dear mother. It his hurry to get home he forgot all about the yeast cake. "Well, Humpy, I have waited twt Then She Kicked. long hours for what you were golnj to bring me in five minutes," greeted the mother, as he entered the house "Oh, that cake of yeast I forgot all about it," replied Humpy, as a chill crept up his spine. "Oh, you did, eh? Well. I think 1 can raise you without any yeast at all. Come along with roe." And he followed her to the wood shed, and was so fully and bounti fully "raised" that he seemed a foot taller after the operation was per formed. lOoprrljht.
