Cure for Headache.
- As a remedy for all forms of Headache
Electric Bitters has proved to be the very
lest. It affects a permanent cure and
the most dreaded habitual sick headaches
yield to its influence. We urged all who
are afflicted to procure a bottle and. give
this remedy a fair trial. In cases of
liabitual constipation Electric Bitters
cures by giving the needed tone to the
bowels, and few cases long resist the use
of -this medicine. Try it once. Large'
bottles only 50 cents at R. R. Bellamy's

statute of limitation bars any proceeding

It is now thc-general belief that if Judge

ihis morning on his way to Tallahassee
from Tampa. He had nothing new to say
beyond the statement that the law was suf-

and that he knew how to enforce it most
effectually when he '"got good and ready."

COTTONT CHAT.
Hubbard. Price AL Co. Say the World
Will Need an American -Crop of
7,oOO.OOO Bales The Present
Crop Barely Large Enough
to Supply the Demand.
We take the following interesting ex
tract from a circular issued December
ISth.by Messrs. Hubbard, Price & Co.:
'We take the liberty of bringing to
your special attention some facts in re
gard to the cotton market. During the
last few weeks tiie persistence of large
receipts has caused a sharp decline in
the value of cotton. From the extreme
decline a slight recovery has taken place,
but prices are still far below the figure
at which they would probably rule had
not the volume of the movement shat
tered confidence in the almost universal
prediction of a short crop.
"Our Southern correspondence is an
enormous one, and nearly all our friends
in a position to speak from personal obser
vation adhere to their short crop ideas
with remarkable tenacity,
""That tho world will need an Ameri
can cotton crop of from 7 to 7 millions
this year, we think is generally admitted.
Mr. L.lUson. the iarerpoot authority
upon such matters, says that 8,000,000
will hardly be more than suflicient. In
his Circular published on the 14th of
December, he estimates spinners stocks
and consumption as follows:
STCK.
70,000 IW.000.
1... 219,000 272,000.
Cireat Britain,
i ontment
Total.
29,000 473,000.
eONsi MITION WEEKLY.
r?at llritain :80,000 80,000.
Continent 89.000 S7.000.
"The above fiirures of thinners' stocks
show that they have been allowing them
io run aown. lrade in England and on
the Continent now is in marked contrast
to the situation as it appeared at this
time last year. One vear ago last week
the great strike of cotton spinners in
Lancashire commenced, lasting until
March, and the consumption .of cotton
was curtailed at least 500,000 bales there
by. American spinners, too. have been
buying sparingly, and with a'Settlement
of the tariff question and any revival in
business in uus country, they must aug
ment their stocks which are now far be
low the average.
4Unless all authorities, barring onh
the group whose headquarters are in
New Orleans and whose purpose seems
to be speculative, are at sea. the Ameri
can crop is hot likely to succeed 7,500,
000 bales."

Yesterday's Cotton Ularkct.
Seclal to the Messenger.
New York, Jan. 2. The interior re
ceipts of cotton at the South showed
falling off compared with last week, and
many advicss h :re indicated that it was
a natural one, due to exhaustion of
stock. This was at once reflected in the
, i. i-i i r v

yancer It; opened 2 to 4 points higher
and, after a slight reaction, prices were
marked up 10 to 15 points with quick
demand from the shoi t3 and consider
able investment buying. The advance
was too quick, however, and the market
eased off again C to 8 points under sell
ing to take profits. But the market
again turned steadier and, with a firm
undertone, closed steady at 15 to 17
points net advance.
Liverpool responded to the reports of
light movement and the market there
closed at an advance-! i
Trivate cables say Manchester will
probably be an activju buyer of spot cot
ton in Liverpool on any signs of tighten
ing movement here, and there is more
disposition to take stock in the short
crop figures. Talk on tlie Cotton Ex
change is altogether more cheerful than
has been, and while speculative buying
is not large, more interest is shown by
investors.
Hubbard, Price & Co., publish a large j
spondents of prominent exporters here
who mostly agree that stocks are light and
the movement will probably fall off.
Large movements at Wilmington
and West Point to-day made port re
cipts exceed estimates, being 2o,o00 in
stead 20,000.
TIIE SUN S VX)TTON REVIEW.
New York, Jan. 2. The Suns cotton
review eays: Prices advanced easily,
owing to higher quotations from Liver
pool, Where the trade is also brisk, and
smaller receipts at the ports and interior
towns, together with a better demand
from some of the shorts here and abroad.
The estimates of receipts at the ports this
week are being reduced. The market
hinges on the crop movement and if
there is any permanent and noteworthy
decrease in the receipts tlie general
opinion is that prices will advance.
Prices advanced 14 to 17 points and closed
steady with sales 150,500 bales. Liver
pool "advanced 2 to 3 points, clos
ing with spot sales of 12,000 bales.
In Manchester there was a small in
quiry for yarns and cloths. New Orleans
advanced 11 to 12 points. Spot cotton
here was c higher with no sales. The
deliveries on contracts ran up to 15,200
bales. There was an advance of 1-16 to
at six of the Southern markets. New
Orleans sold 6,000 bales. The receipts at
the ports to-day were 25,040 bales,
against 33,263 this dav last week and
26,531 last year. The total thus far this
week are 101,122 bales against 116.022
bales thus far last week. The receipts
at New Orleans to-morrow are estimated
at 12,000 to 14,000 bales, against 32,506
on tlie same day last week and 6,480 on
the same day last year.

to th
committee, from, the standpoint of
friend of the Provisional Government, at
least a full and complete history of the
intrigues on the islands and the eventfj
that led up to the deposition of thu
Queen. Mr. Jones is a resident of Bosh
ton and a member of the linn of Brewer
& Co., which has a large branch house iii
Honolulu under the management of
: MrJ t
I Jones. He is said to be as largely "inter
esteu imanciaiiy as any American, inere
t -tj I ,monfr IlIS
interests- is tha
! of
the purchase
and . handling of
sugars iu large amounts. Mr. Jones wan
minister of linance in the so-called- Wil-t
cox Cabinet, from November o -thej
following January. He ha3 always!
been an annexationiit, and was a mem
ber of the committee of safety. He left
the islands for America last month and;
came East directly, his object in coming!
being to look after some business affairsj
and to do what he could to present.
from his point of view, the facts con-l
cerninc: the establishment of thq
Provisional Government. Having lived!
for many years on the islands
and be in jr personally acquainted -with!
the people, he felt that he was able to
cive the committee .uch information
and possibly throw some side light uponf
the present and past condition of affairsj
among the people of Hawaii. He was?
before the committee a long time and;
his examination was searching, thk!
chairman and other members of the
committee expressic a. wish to learn alt
it was Dossible touching the matter.
3Ir. Jones was followed by Col. Spauld-
ing, who went to Honolulu shortly after
tbn war. under Secretary Seward he
was sent to Honolulu as United States
Consul. After the close of his official
career he entered business and soon be
came one of the j wealthiest men on the
islands and one of the largest of its sugar
planters. He never held any official po
sition, but when the recent troubles came
he was selected as ono of the
committee of safety. Col. Spaulding
is an ardent annexationist, and
speaking of the condition of things on
tne island in creneral, but with special
reference to the labor problem, lie said!
States Jor under its protection, he would
bo walling to take his chances. If the
islands were made a part of this country
the "coolie" labor problem could easily
be solved, and that, too, without detri
ment to the interests of the United
States. 1 I
Both Mr. Spaulding and Mr. Jones dis
puted the statements of Commissioner
Blount regarding the feeling of the people
on the subjectjof annexation, and they
took direct issue with him as to th facts
relatively to the overthrow of the Queen,
asserting that the conduct of Minister
Stevens was not censurable, and thatihe
American troops were landed only to
preserve the peace and protect the lives
and property of Americans on the islands.
They denied that they had taken any
part in.tbe revolution. .

and the principal in a tnot revolting
crime was in the hands of the guardians
of the law.
Tne were carried to the ioiice station,
where tliey told a storvof a murder most
foul.
In a house in Franklin county, X. C,
a half mile distant from the" nearest
neighbor, liycnl Pinly Wilkins ami her
sister, white women. Among the incst
frequent callers on these women were
two brothers, Calvin and ' Tom . Coley.
Late pne afternoon in July, b'J2. a Jew
ish peddler named Tucker applied at this
house for bpdgings for the nifiht, and
wa3 net refused. He had..' a pack, con
taining several fancy articles of the kind
usually carried by peddlers, am! a bag of
money.. This aroused ' the cupidity of J
the Coley boys, who were present, and a j
plot was laid" to: obtain both ir.or.cy and j
articles. i
The peddler retired to his rooi-v Mut S
o'clock, but bUKncctinLr souu th... '. -iut

it aronnd his neck and went out in tl e

beautiful, -moonlight night, and hi every
action could be plainly K"-n by th' in
mates of the house who were watching
him. -
i After getting the water Tucker sat
down on the steps when the Coley !kvs
came out and attempted j to take the
money from him. The owner resisted as
.desperately as possible until Tom Coley,
held him and Calvin Coley brained liiim
with an axe. Tho money, $1'J, wa
divided among the crowd, his clothes,

the Jew was buried in the wood. It was i
thus thought that every trace of tho foul
