Daniel J. Sully, the king of the Wall
street cotton bullp, arrived in the city
yesterday morning from New York via
Greensboro, and today at noon will
address the cotton farmers and busi
ness men of Wake county in "Metro
politan Hall.
.Mr. Sully spent the "morning in.Bar
1e & Company's offices on Wilming
ton street .and he had a constant
stream of visitors, business men, farm
ers and others who were anxious to
meet the man who had run the market
up to 17.55 in the great campaign of
1903-04, the highest price paid for cot
ton since 1575. One farmer was particularly-
enthusiastic, declaring that
his father had Baved his house and
home by that rise, and he laid it all
u. r. Sul";
The cotton king is a young look
ing, vigorous man of forty to forty
- five years of age, ruddy faced, with
light mustache and hair, seemingly in
the enjoyment of robust health. When
asked -by. a visitor this morning how
he lived through the fierce times of
his terrific campaign he laughed and
paid: "Why, I never lost an hour's
sleep over it from first to last."
In reply to a question about the last
government report giving the condi
tion of the crop as 71.2, he said promtp
ly: "It is thoroughly misleading. You
remember right on top of that report
came one from the weather bureau
department saying that from 65 to 70
per cent of the crop was picked. Now
nf "what was that 71.2 a percentage?
Was it of the bare plant? Was it of
the picked crop? It is absolutely no
pauge of the crop whatever, but it
has already lost to the - south some
jno.OOO.OCO. -
, Mr. Sully went on to say that his
own reports received irorn tuucoyunu
ents throughout the south indicated a
very much lower condition figure.
"If the farmers will only hold back
their cotton for from fifteen to twenty
five days longer, they will be in a
situation to dictate to the world any
reasonable price for the product," de
clared Mr. Sully. "As for the eleven
cent minimum, it's not a question of
any particular price. Eleven cents is
too cheap for cotton. The world will'
pay twelve cents ju3t as easily if they
know they can't get it for less. I
predict that cotton will be selling for
fourteen cents Christmas. The con-
i not known, the crop anu
ing, and the only state case of any
interest, is that of State vs. Mclntyre,
from Cumberland, involving the consti
tutionality of the Cumberland county
statute making it prima facie evidence
of illegal sale of liquor for two gallons
to be. found In the possession of one
person. The case is very-similar to the
Union county case that came up last
term, in which the. supreme court sus
tained its constitutionality, except that
the Union county care makes the pos
session of more than a quart prima
facie evidence.
There Is this difference between the
cases, however: That in the Union
county case the defendant introduced
no evidence, leaving the correctness of
his sentence to the court for Judicial
construction of the act, while in the
Cumberland county case the defendant
went on the. stand and testified that
the liquor in question was purchased
by him as agent for several parties
who "chipped in" before the liquor was
purchased outside of the state, where
the sale Was legal.
.Therefore, 'the interesting question
for the court to decide is whether mere
disbelief on the part of the jury of the
testimony of a defendant who may be
found in possession of more liquor than
the. law allows is sufficient to send him
to jail, although there is no proof what
soever that he 'had ever sold any of the
ardent to any person.
In the light of the Union county de
cision it would appear that the court,
in dealing with this case, must either
reverse that ruling or convict a man I
who denies his crime upon merely pre- I

Asked for his opinion of the situation
bs far as the European spinners were
concerned, Mr. Sully said confidently:
"The Knronean cotton spinner is at i
the mercy of the Fouthern cotton farm
er and the southern cotton spinner.
Twenty vears ago the United States
was manufacturing only 30 per cent of j
the product: now we. are manufactur
ing 45 per cent of it, and of this 45 per
cent the south is .consuming 25 per cent :
in another twenty years we will be
manufacturing 63 per cent of the total
crop. So the European spinner see3
the end of his supply, and of courso
he must do all he can to keep prices
down."

The .Grand Lodge Masonic temple

the purpose of opening bids for the
erection of the temple, and it is prob
able that the work will be gotten under
way within the next! sixty days. The

Past Grand Masters S. H. Smith of
Winston-Salem and John W. Cotton of

A. F. and A. M.:
"Resolved, That ' William G. Hill

Resjue Horses Struck Riggan's De
livery Wagon Bridge Afire
A "still" alarm of fire was turned
in yesterday morning, shortly before
noon, and without any warning, save
the clang of the gong behind the fly
ing steeds, two hose wagons dashed
at full speed up Fayetteville street.
The street was unusually crowded at
the time and there might have been
several bad accidents. As it was a
horse hitched to a delivery wagon of
the J. D. Riggan Company was stand
ing in front of the. store. The animal
was excited by the dash of the fire
horses and, his driver not being in
the wagon, moved off into the street.
He went scarcely two yards when was
struck by the Rescue wagon and al
most knocked down. This caused tne
horse to run away and he overturned
a small black pony, hitched to a
buggy, which was unoccupied, and
ran into an ice wagon of Johnson &
Johnson. Riggan's horse received a
bad cut and bled profusely. The pony
also had its ankle cut. The vehicles
were not badly damaged. The deliv-
prv waeron scattered candy in the
street and furnished a feast for small
boys.
The cause for the alarm was a fire
at the Morgan street bridge, spanning
the Seaboard Air Line track. The
flames were extinguished before the
companies arrived.
