THE CHARLOTTE NEWS, JANUARY 30, 1914. 2K2 AN ARABIAN NIGHT IN BERLIN. (Detroit Journal.) Sudden illness seized one Kazan, an Oriental merchant in Berlin. A Christian physician was called to the Moslem's house, and was bidden to address the merchant as "Your ma jesty." This merchant was Moham med AH, who until 1909 was the des potic shah of Persia. The successor of Cyrus and Chosroes and Nedir Shah had lived unknown in the Ger man capital for nine months. What brought down the great king of 9,000,000 people to such ignored lowliness? Kings and politicians ot many nations may note the answer: He refused to be ruled by the peo ple! That and nothing else dethroned Mohammed Ali. WThen the people first demanded a parliament and he granted it the world thought him a sensible shah. He suddenly turned away from the future to the past, and abolished the parliament. He held out even against the counsel of Financial and Commercial S. Department of Agriculture. STOCKS BONDS MONEY GRAIN COTTON PRODUCE vy c A 1 rjEK BUREAU. x CoKoXo) - - .to? "is s? J '.v" ri Vj?

Cotton held steady at a small advance in the early trading, buying being stimulated to a moderate degree by the unsettled wea ther conditions over the cotton belt and private advices from England stat ing that trade was bound to improve as the result of easier money. First prices were 1 to 2 points up on a steady tone. Not much cotton was offered for sale on the opening call or lor some time after, and prices worked up to a level of 6 to 7 points over yesterday's close. The promise of bearish Aveek-end statistics stimulated short selling and caused liquidation of long cotton. Hes ter's pointers to the week's into sight and out of sight promised that the one would be large and the other small. The continued large move ment of the crop led to claims by the bears that before long crop estimates would again have to be increased. The outlook for small mill takings result ed in contentions that trade among the mills was falling off. Prices gradually sagged and at noon the trading months were 4 to 6 points under yesterday's final quotations. Short selling increased in the af ternoon and at 2 o'clock prices were 13 to 15 points under yesterday's clos ing level. Opening: New Orleans Futures. New Orleans, Jan. 30.

His capital was menaced before he proclaimed a new parliament and then it was too late. A few short months of 1909 saw Mo hammed Ali banished, his weeping son, Ahmed Mirza, enthroned, a par liament summoned, and a speech from the throne signalizing that the long era of the despotic dynasties is over. Mohammedan writers love to dwell on the rocketing rise of slaves to thrones, and the heavy tumble of kings from divans into dungeons. But it is Allah's will that men do not rise so high or fall so deep as they did once. There are no slaves, and by the same token there are no despots the people have the power to pro tect the weak and curb the power ful. Any prince who resists the people will be dethroned. Any politician who withstands the popular demand will be supplanted. This works out in Persia and in New York it is true of Turkish sultans and party organiz ersthe rule applies to the house of Romanoff and both houses of parlia ment. "In the hands of God is the destiny of princes He alone giveth empire. " exclaims an Arabian chronicler quot ed by Washington Irving. It seems not too much to say that in our time "in the hand of God is the destiny ol people He alone giveth empire to them empire is no more given to shahs or sultans, caliphs or czars, kings or politicians." i ' s-'-.y& n S a Rain tonight, probably J J'--kpZ JV38 "U 3awQ X HIGH POINT'S TAXABLES. (High Point Review.) According to the published state ment High Point has been over zeal ous in the way of increase in taxable property. If the same ratio is main tained a few years longer High Point will be paying more taxes than her big sister, Greensboro. It's all right in a way to run property away up so as to get enough money to pay the city's expenses but it must be remem bered that at the same time the state and county are getting a big part of it too while we are playing the game We are yet of the opinion that bus! ness property where a revenue results should pay more taxes in proportion than does the owner of the home which does not bring in any revenue, however large or small.

Too much money is sent out from this county for horses and mules. More of them should be raised at home instead of buying them from outside the county. Few persons have any idea how many thousand dollars are sent out from this county every year in payment for horses and mules. One horse dealer alone in a neigh boring county sells many thousand dollars' worth of horses and mules to the citizens of Chatham. He was here last week and it is said, sold in two or three days, $,000 worth of horses' and mules. For. one pair of horses he is reported to have receive ! $750, having swapped the horses for a pair of mules and $225, and thevi sold the mules for $525. This annual outlay of money for horses and mules is too great a drain upon our county, and we earnestly urge our farmers to raise all their own horses and mules instead of 13.70 i buying so many. j r $ 't r - r u u v Trr-ar'r'jw waCjC 'tvur-ii&irw r -v r u r u r - c '3 LIVERPOOL COTTON jUMUWUl &'i:&tir&.i'.i' J!.Jv.(Jbjj '-Jt.j.'iJ'C'OV s Liverpool, Jan. 30.
