Wall Street experienced a riot if one may judge Indications there by what occeurred among the Monroe cotton buyers when they learned that cotton had dropped nearly $28 a bale overnight on the publication cf the German note, stating that the Cen tral Powers would resume their sub marine warfare Feb. 1. Some of the buyers, who have a large number of bales on hand, bought when the mar ket was around the 20 cent mark were even paniky. One buyer, how ever, stated that "he'd have his fun as long as it lasted." Mr. J. E. Stack, who is the oldest cotton buyer in Monroe, stated to The ' Journal that yesterday's drop was the biggest he had ever known. The big Best drop In his recollection, previous to yesterday's slump, was the Sully drop, when cotton broke for 3 1 cents a pound. The market dropped wide open on the call in the New York future mar ket under a tremendous wave cf sell ing. March contracts dropped 372 points. This break amounted to more than $25 a bale and the market was absolutely demoralized. Many contracts broke to 12.50 within ten minutes, 516 point3 under last night's closing figures, making the biggest break in such a short time in the history of the market. Re ports of conditions In the stock mar ket increased the excitement, but af ter the most violent liquidation had somewhat subsided May contracts rallied to 14 cents on covering. before the end of the first half hour May contracts had rallied to 17 cents or 4 1-2 cents from the lowest and within 16 points of last night's closing figures. The sensational break brought in fresh buying as well as covering by shorts but the shock of the unprecedented rapidity of the de cline was still evident in the confu sion and excitement. The recovery, however, was almost as sensational as the decline. The first sharp recovery was followed by a second big break on selling orders from the south. May sold out from .17.00 to 15.30. Trade interest be came good buyers on this decline and there was another quick rally to the 16-eent level for that position comparing with last night's closing quotation at 17.66. These wild flue tuation3 were followed by continued irregularities and frequently there were 25 or 36 points between trans actions. (irentest Over-lht Ioss Known In Xow Orleans Market. New Orleans, Feb. 1. The cotton market here was thrown into demora lization at the opening today by Ger many's announcement of unrestricted naval warfare. Prices fell from $18.50 to $21.50 a bale, the widest overnight fluctuations ever witnessed on the market in any period of paniky trading. Owners of cotton contractu scrambled to get to cover before unrestricted naval warfare bear results, They threw tneir cot ton overboard and found no buyers. F en minutes after the opening ae ti. months were from 375 to 435 points below yesterday's close. Fluctuations between trades were marked in cents Instead of in frac tions of cents. May closed last night at 17.24 cents a pognd; the first trade today was at 14 cents and the third at 13 cents, a loss of almost 4 1-4 cents a pound. Such flucuatlons never before were recorded on any cotton quotation boards in the world, it was declared. After the first rush of selling price made a strong re covery, mounting 295 to 532 points from the lowest levels, old crop months being less than $6 a bale un der yesterday's close.

Judge Webb then ordered that ad testiflca nuiu papers be issued against him, and that he be placed under a two hundred dollar bond to appear at the March term of court.

We found all these places well cared for, and in good order with tho following exceptions: The heating ilant at tho County Home is in bad shape, and we recommend that the County Commisf loners at once iake such changes as necessary to heat the building before any more cold weath er. The means for heating tho build ing Is Inadequate. We also recom mend that a covering be built over the stairway to the basement la or der to keep the water from running Into the basement. "The bedding at the stockade we nd not to be in a sanitary condition, on account of the bad weather for the past two weeks, and there is not enough bedding for the Superintend ent to make the necessary changes.

FULL TEXT OF THE GERMAN SUBMARINE NOTE Washington. Feb. 1. The official text of the German note addressed to Secretary Lansing and signed by Count von Bernstora. the German Ambassador, is as follows: "Mr. Secretary of State: "Your Exci.Kr.cy was good encng? to transmit to tlw Imperial govern ment a ccpy of the message which the President cf the United States ot America addressed to the senate on the twenty-second instant. The Im perial government has given it the earnest consideration which the President's statements deserve, in spired as they are by a deep senti ment of responsibility. It is highly gratifying to the Imperial govern ment to ascertain that the main ten dencies ot this important statement corresponds largely to the desires and prlnicples professed by Germany. These principles especially include self-governments and equality of right3 for all nations. Germany would be sincerely glad if, in recognition of this principle countries like Ireland and India, which do not enjoy the benefits of political independence, should cow obtain their freedom. The German people also repudiate all al nances which serve to force the countries Into i competition for might and to invche thou !.i a net of selfish intrigues. Ou the other hand, Germany will gladly co-operate In all efforts to prevent future wars, "The freedom of the seas, being a preliminary condition of the free existence of nations and the peace' tul intercourse between them as well as the open door for the commerce of all nations, has always formed part of the leading principles of Ger many's program. All the more the Imperial government regrets that the attitude of her enemies who are so entirely opposed to peace makes it impossible for the world at present to bring about the realization of these lofty ideals. Germany and her al lies were ready to enter now into a discussion of peace and had set down as a basis the guaranty of existence, honor and free development of their peoples. Their aims, as has been ex pressly stated in the note of Decem ber 12, 1916, were not directed to wards the destruction or annihilation of their enemies and were according to their conviction perfectly com patlble with the rights of the other nations. As to Belgium for which suoh warm and cordial sympathy is- teit tn the United States, the Chan cellor had declared only a few weeks previously that Its annexation had never formed part of 'Germany's in tentions. "The peace to be signed with Bel glum was to provide for such condi tions In that country, with which Ger many desires to maintain friendly and neighborly relations, that Bel gium should not be used again by Germany's enemies for the purpose cf instigating continuous hostile in trigues. Such precautionary meas ures are all tho more necessary, as Germany's enemies have repeatedly stated not only In speeches delivered by their loading men, but also in the statutes of the economical conference in Pails, that It is their Intention not to treat Germany as an equal, even after peace has been restored but to continue their hostile attitude and especially to wage a systematical commercial war against her. "The attempt of the four allied powers to bring about peace has fail ed owing to the lust of conquest of their enemies, who desired to dictate the conditions of peace. Under the pretense of following the principles of nationality our enemies have dis closed their real aims in this war, namely, to dismember and dishonor Germany, Austria-Hungary, Turkey and Bulgaria. To the wish of recon ciliation they oppose the will of des truction. They desire a fight to the bitter end. "A new situation has thus been created which forces Germany to new decisions. Since two years aud a half England Is using her naval power for a criminal attempt to force Germany into submission by starvation. In brutal contempt of international law the group of powers led by England does not only curtail the legitimate trade of their opponents, but they also by ruthless pressure to compel neutral countries either altogether to forego every trade not agreeable to the entente powers or to limit It ac cording to their arbitrary decrees. The American government knows the steps which have been taken to cause England and her allies to return to the rules of international law and to respect the freedom of the seas. The English government, however, Insists upon continuing its war of starva tion, which does not at all a!Tect the military powers of its opponents, but compels women and children, the tick end the aged to suffer for their country, pains and privations which endaneer th vitality of the nation. Thus British tyranny mercilessly In creases the suffering of the world In different to the laws of humanity, in different to the protects of the neu trals whom they severely harm, in different even to the silent loninz for pence among England's own nl He. Each day of the terrible strug gle causes new destruction, new suf ferings. Each day shortening the war, will, on both sides, preserve the life of thousands of brave soldiers and be a benefit to mankind. "The Imperial government could not Justify before Its own conscience, before the German people and before history the n"glect of any means des ined to bring about the end of the war. Like tn President of the unit ed States, the Imperial government EVERYTHING RESTS WITH PRESIDENT WILSON Washington. Feb. 1. Whatever course of action President WiLsou h;;s chosen to meet Germany's declara tion of unrestricted submarine war fare Is known only to three or four members of his official family. Neitb e-r the Cabinet as a whole nor the Foreign Affairs Committee of Con gress has been taken into his confi dence. One high official dors to the Pre.i dent declared tonight that no com niunication had been sent to Berlin or to Count von Bernstorff, who out waidly was expecting a severance of diplomatic relations. There was every indication in of ncfal quarters that a note had been determined upon. Lut the indications as to whether it actually had been cispatched were about evenly divid ed. with a few high officials as au thTity that it had not. and some others who gave intimations cf a be lief that it had. From under the curtain of official ...M j . Mience, arawn ciosety over every move today came various Indications taken everywhere as index fingers pointing townrd the probable course cf the United States. It was undis puted that the United States would not permit Germany's announcement to stand without c.iallen?o. But whether President Wilson's answer will be a solemn warning of a break In diplomatic relations If Germany's campaign of ruthlessness is carried into execution, or actually a severance of relations without fur ther waiting remained undisclosed. White House officials and Secre- lary Lansing ronowea tne same course adopted on previous occasions when a communication had been dis patched to Berlin, and they were awaiting tts receipt in the German Capital before making any announce ment in this country. Secretary Lansing began by deny ing niniseif to all ciuem. Notwith standing it was the regular day for receiving representatives of foreign governments at the State Depart ment, he declined to receive such persons as the British and Japanese Ambassadors and they were turned Over to subordinate officials. It became known then that Mr. Lansing was engaged at work "on something for the President." Shortly before noon, the Secretary ent to the White House, taking WUh him some documents, and he and the President conferred for more than an hour. When he left the President. Mr. Lansing refused absolutely to discuss the situation or answer any Inquiries. Later In the day, when he met the newspaper correrpondents. he said: "Gentlemen, I have nothing to tell you; neither will I answer any ques tions." He modified hin latter statement only to say he hr.d no communica tion throughout the day with tho German Ambassador, adding that there was no prospect of any an nouncement during tho night. The commissioners of Carthage ordered a $6,500 fire truck and there upon there was r.aieh kicking. The commissioners reconsidered and can celled the order; the fire chief resign ed and the company disbanded. The sellers of the truck disregarded the order to cancel and sent the truck to Carthnge. However, it was refused and was shipped back. According to a representative cf Bradstreet there were 253 failures reported to the company from the state in 1 n 1 6, the total nsset.i bng $1.2C9.67G and liabilities $2,245.- 8 62. Of tho rnilures 117 were attri buted to Incompetence; 29 to Inex perience; 53 to undertaking too much business for capital employed and 17 to unfavorable circumstances. The Citizen says that P. F. Rob erts of Buncombe county was shot and killed recently while resisting arrest In Centralia, Wash. Roberts was wanted in Ashevllle for dispos ing or mortgaged property and em bezzlement. It Is also reported that he toow with him a woman from Buncombe county, deserting his wife and children.

Pastime Theatre next Thursday. has hoped to ronch this goal by negotiations. After the attempts to come to an understanding with the Entente powers have been answered by the latter with th announcement of an Intensified continuation of the war, the Imperial government In order to serve the welfare of man kind In a higher sense and not to wrong Its own peopl Is now com pelled to continue the fight for ex istence, again fcrced upon If. w'th the full employment of all the weapon which are at Its disposal. "Sincerely trusting that (he p"o plo and government of the United States will understand the motives for this decision pnd its necessity, the Imperial government hopes that the United States may view the new situation from the lofty heights of Impartiality and assist, on their part, prevent further m'rrv and im- avoidable saciifice of human life."

JURY FAILED TO AGREE IN S1ASSEY MURDER CASE COUNT STOOD LIGHT THUKi: One Juror tiot sick on Wavliaw Mur der Case, While lU-niuiniir.; i:ien Failed l.t Come ! an Auiwiuoiit After Being Out lor Twenty-four Hours. Clyde MaiM'.v, the Wuxhav darkey who shot Will Patw-rson on the nicht of January 1. will stand trial again ai tne .Varcn Criminal term oi court, as the jury that heard his i-a-e this week failed to agree alter In :ig out nearly twenty-four hours. E'g:-t or the jury stood for aequital. while three stood for conviction. It is said, however, that the first count showed seven for aequital and four for con viction, but one cf the jury was final ly won over to the nenro's aequital. One juror, Jas. C. Broom, fainted in the jury box Wednesday morning, and was so ill that he was excused from further duty. By mutual i:gree ment of both sides, Judge J. L. Webb consented to continue the trii.l with only eleven men in the box. Waxhaw darkies exhibited a great deal of Interest in the case, as the court room was thronged wi'h them all day Tuesday and Wednesday. The case was hotly contested bv both the State and the defendant. Solici tor Brock was agisted in the prose cution by Attorneys J. J. Parke-.', Gil liam Craig and Vance Mc.Neeley. Messrs. Redwine and Sikes appeared for the defendant. From the evidence submitted, it appeared that a negro woman was the cause of the affair. The shooting occurred on the Providence road. right in the heart of Waxhaw, near the re-'idence of Col. J. L. Rodman. Massey was accompanying Roxie Sl monds, a Sandy Ridge negress, from the school house, where the emanci pation celebration was held, to the home where she was visiting. It seems that Patterson met the woman. Broxie Simonds, some time ngo, nnd that they had been corresponding regularly. But when she ciiiue to Waxhaw, so it seems from the evi dence, the jilted Patterson for Mas sey. Patterson became incensed over her treatment, and is said to have made the remark at the school house that he "was going to square things up that night and leave tl. next morning." It was also stated that Massey was aware of the threat made by Patterson. Other witnesses testified that they saw Patterson walking from the 1 school house, following Massey nnd Simonds, towards town, holding a &un In his hand. But before he ap- ' proached Massey he had placed the gun back In his pocket, it was mid. When Massey and the girl reached the rpot where the shooting occurred. ! Patterson approched the girl and said, so, witnesses claim, "Unlets you do what you said you would, don't write me any more of the.-e white lies." The girl replied, so it is al leged: "Well, you stop sending your junk up there." One word brought another; then the shooing; look place. There wop- .several v.
