The Average Weight of Bales This Year is 6 Pounds Less Than Last Year, Which Alone is the Equivalent ot a Reduction of 120,000 Bales in the Supply. Special to The Akgus "J "New York, Feb. 8 As it is impossible for me to reply indi vidually and as fully as I should like to the very large number of telegraphic inquiries I an re ceiving in regard to the cotton situation. I take this method of advising my friends of the facts; the weekly figures made up to day disclose a position of excep tional strength, ani point to much higher prices in the im mediate future. The world's visible supply of American cotton shows a de crease for the week of 145,000 bales and is now only 18,000 bales greater than two years age, when cotton went to ten and eleven cents per pound, acd was practically unobtainable at the end of the seasos. Of this visible supply there is in Amer ica at the ports and interior towns. 176,000 bales less than last year and 360,000 bales less than in the mem rable bull year of 1900. The quantity of cotton brought into sigut for tb week is onij j 132,000 bales, which is the small est on record for the correspond ing week of any season in which the crop exceeded 9,000,000 bales. We have expoifod approxi mately 6,750,000 bales moie ihaa we did Is st year. Japan alone having taken 115,000 bales again-t only 6,000 fast year. Ia every direction the demand seems to be expanding and the supply de creasing . The average weight of bales this year is 6 pounds 1 ss than last year, which alone is tbe equivalent of a reduction of 120; 000 bales ia the supply. Tbe cot ton trade of the world seems to ba upn tbe eva of recognziogthe extraordinary situation ani a very sharp advance in the market ap pears intm nent. It is certain to come promp !y if those who h d the small rt-mnant of this 3 ear crop decline-to sell at its face value. It ia worth, in view of tbe situation to-day disclosed, certain ly nine cents and will probably command ten cents before the end of the season. It is only through a very sharp and immediate advance that an absolute cotton famine in America can be averted. Theodore H. Price This Will Interest Many. Botanic Blood Balm (B. B.

Raises a Rucas a Kucas and is Put in Jail. A hurley negro who tried to bull-dcz? the crowd on East Centre street near the "Great Eastern" on Monday afternoon and who styled himself, as the "South Carolina Bully," has come to grief. In his carousal he attracted tbe attention of Officer Denmark, who accompanied the negro to the city lock up. "When the officer reached the prison door a little trouble occurred. The negro refused to enter and acccording to the officer's testi mony, showed fight. Mr. Den mark struck the negro with his club and then shoved him into the cell. The negro grabbed hold of the door and jerked it. Mr. Denmark's arm was caught be tween the iron door and the iron railing, and he sustained a pain ful fracture. After wounding the officer the negro made another break for liberty, but the officer was too quick for him and caught the lock in the staple in time to hold the negro back. At the trial next morning the negro was not near so demonstrative in his de meanor and language as he was Monday. He was charged with resisting the officer besides the charge of disorderly conduct and sent to jail because be could not give a bond in the sum of $200, Tbe name of the negro is John Evans. He claims to have come from Wilson. IN MEMORIAM.

Delicious refresh ments were served and the joyful spirit of the occasion seemed to pervada tbe dining room as well as parlor, halls and sitting room. The evening passed only too quickly, and the general verdict of all was, that Mr. and Mrs. Gray surely know how to make girls and boys enjoy themselves.

WALTER LETTER. 1 Chronicling of a Week's Events in That Thriving Neigh borhood. Misses Cora Dixon and Mary Pipk'n. and Mr. Alden Yelver- ton, came home last Thursday to attend the wedding. Mr. Dick Alexander and Miss Polly Jones, from Kinston, are visiting at "Southern Oaks, hav- ng came up to attend the wed ding. Miss Mattie Caldwell will re turn to Seven Springs today, after having spent several days with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Caldwell. Among the many visiting in our community last inursday, were Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Perry and Miss Stella Holt, from Princeton, Mr. Jas. McPhail. from Raleigh, and Mr. Clarence Peacock, from your city. In speaking of the casualties of our community last week, and regretting the accident Thurs day night, our neighbor, Toby Howell, remarked that he did not know what would happen next to the neighborhood, that it had gotten so the train could'nt even run through it. A wreck to Capt, Jack's train just below here last Friday, caused by a broken rail, put one box car and the passenger coach in the ditch and fractured. Mr. Charlie Gurley's arm, and gave him a bad lick on the head. Tnere were two trainmen hurt, but no one seriously, we are glad to say. It would save trouble and lots of talk hard leeling, &?., if it was strictly sgainst the law for stock to run out. This way of everybody's stock running on everybody else in a stock law country, is abominable acd should not be allowed. It we are going to have a law, let's abide by it. The house which was occupied last year by Mr. J. C. Montague, and the property of Mr. George L. Becton, was burned last Tuesday night. A colored fam ily were occupying it, and were aroused by the flames, and es caped through a window in their night clothes. Everything they had was lost. The wind was blowing towards the gin house in which was Mr. Becton's cot ton, and it was in great danger but escaped. The origin of the fire is unknown. A painful accident occurred to the estimable wife of our pastor. Mr. H. E. Tripp, last Thursday night. After supper at Mr. J. H. Caldwell's, they started over to Mr. Geo. Becton's to spend the night, and missed the bridge and fell in a ditch, fracturing Mrs. Tripp's ankle. She was taken to Mr. Becton's and medi cal attention giyen her by Dr. Crawford, and all was done that could be done for her comfort by many interested and sympathyz ing friends She is getting along as well as could be expected, and we trust will soon fully recover. The marriage of Mr. P. C. Caldwell and Miss Mary Thomp son, took place at Ebenezer church last Thursday afternoon at. 4 o'clock, Rev. H. E. Tripp t fficiating. Tbe church had been tastef ullydecorated for the occa sion, and was filled to its utmost capacity.

When tbe Uatied iS sates, tak ing cognizance of the oppression of Cuba by Spain, became tbe liberator of the island, it assumed a responsibility that cannot be shirked. The bill of Represent taive NewJands, of Nevada, looking to the admission of Cuoa to the Uoion as a territory, with the final granting of statehood rights, may be premature. Cuba is not ready for annexation yt, although the sentiment is grow ing there. Having acted tbe knightly role and rescued the is land from a hateful lord, it would be unbecoming in this e juntrv to force a distasteful UDion. The manifest destiny of toe island, however, is annexation. In no cthr way can peace, prosperity, stability of institutions and free dom of speech and religion be secured. In no other way can the vexing tariff questions be settled. In no other way can Cuba re ceive full dividends from her re sources. The United States in the meanwhile must remain the guardian of Cuba. It would ba a national shame to free Cuba from political op preseion only to cast her into commercial servitude. The na tional love of justice and the na tional spirit of generosity alike rebel against such iniquitous treat ment. President Roosevelt and Secretary Root have expressed in plain language tbe duty of the United States. C ingress must h ar or th people will make them h af. The guardianship v lun?arily assumed by tnis government re quires that Cuha thill b protect ed from enemies wih ut and within; from the po i.ical free booter and commercial plunderer, from those who would impose be cause of her weakness or oppress because of her helptem ss. The nation's honor is in pledge and Congress must redeem it. A Fireman's Close Call. "I stuck to my engine, al though every join ached arid every nerve wis r-cied with pain," writes C. W Bellamy, a locomotive fireman, of Burlington Iowa., "I was weak and pale, without any appetite and all run down. As I about to give up, I got a bottle of Ehctrio Bitters Rnd, after taking it 1 felt as well as I ever did in my life." Weak, sickly, run down people always gain new life, strength and vigor from their use. Try theT Satis faction guaranteed by 7 rl. Hill & Son. Price 50 cents. if' v tv V I I; I .-A ?
