New Tork, April 28.—-Prices were firmer in the early trading but later ea&ed off again under pressure pro moted by reports of rains in,southwest Texas. Many private advices from. Texas, however, that recent rains have only enough relief to permit planting audio some favored sections to epable the seed to germinate and that Sequent showery periods will be es sential to keep the crop growing especially during the -summer. That, however, is. laid aside as a matter for later consideration and the feeling is Strong that for a while the erop is like ly to present a favorable appearance re gardlesg of what overtakes it later and that this will deter buyers from acting. The fqKit situation is reported very few with the basis getting steadily Efher as contracts recede. Stocks of desirable cotton are thoroughly exhaust ed and buyers find little offering other than snaps and bodies and even those : command a premium if they have any staple. Mills are poorly supplied with Ht.w material out. apparently in the spine position as records orders though some are much better off than others in that respect. ; •’ 1 It is a most incongruous situation the outcome of which is impossible to visualize. Bearish sentiment predomi nates with predictions that the coming prop will equal or exceed that of the c’jtrrent season and prices go well be -20 cents. Any development that tends to change existing sentiment and bring on an effort to reverse the exist ing position will disclose a technical .Position little short of sensational. The market is sold out and oversold but can and may be driven lower for a time though good judges believe that chances # much in favor of satisfactory re sults from graded accumulation of con tracts on a scale down.

April 29.-—There are more than 18.600 British ex-officers who serv ed ill the war who have not had oppor : tunity to work since the armistice, ac cording to recent announcement of the appointments department of the ministry of labor which has been endeavoring to place them. Baronets, pre-war company directors and barristers call at the deimitment of fices every day in search of jobs, many of. them willing to accept positions at al mot n.v wage, says the announcement. Since 1918 the appointment department has placed some 86,-000 former officers and' men. and an appeal is made to employers of all kinds to assist in the task of find ing work for the remainder of the men oil the unemployed list of the bureau. “’He who can live without manual lab or. says an old heraldic authority, "or oanj support himself as a gentleman without 1 nterfering in any mechanic employment, I s called Mr. and may write himself Gen tleman."

The case was concerned with the theft of Pha roah’s money, I Pbaroah Patterson is an ohJ negro who lives at Kannapolis. He was a thrifty soul and for years,has hoarded his sav . ings. Being a trifle leary of banks and the like, he kept hie money in a secret hiding place under the floor of his home where he had a carefully concealed loose plank which dto would slide out of place when be wished to get to his savings. In all there was over S4OO, saved during a period of 15 or 20 years. The savings were contained in two hOck ets. In one of them was quite a Jiile of silver dollars and in the o£her was a leather pocket book in which the .paper bills and the small change was kept. Os the two, however, the more loved was the bucket which contained the silver dol lars, because Pbaroah had been told that “silver dollars would bring yon luck.” Pbaroah bad .two boys, Rob and Shir ley, who contributed small amuonts ,to the hoard from time to time. Rob Was about 18 and Shirley was 16, They were, according to Pbaroah, rather irregnlar about their contributions, Rob doing some what better than did Shirley. Shirley vfas the brighter of the two and when lie djd work he was very efficient but he did not work a great deal. He wa6 lazy. Shirley's principal trouble, said Pha roah. was that "he spent his money round the suburbs." This delinquency was his outstanding fault. In some manor, Shirley discovered that his father. Pbaroah, had the money con cealed. Gne day while both father and mother were away from home (having left the two boys to take care of the place.) Shirley announced to Rob and a guest, George Phifer, that tie had found a rat's pest. leaving them in the woedßouse, he departed but returned a short while lat er laden with the loot. To Robert he ghve a small amount of cash and pre sented the guest with a few dollars. Shirley then went to town and began the career of a spendthrift. Later in the clay, he went riding with Marshall Mc- Cullough and in the course of the ride. Marshall remarked that lie needed some money and Shirley immediately offered to let him have some as a loan. Marshall, according to his story, asked no questions hut took $74 and paid it to one of his creditors. Pharoah. oil finding his money gone, questioned the boys but both disclaimed > any knowledge of the stolen treasure. Lat • er he had them arrested and brought to trial. Judge J. T. Shaw passed sentence on them Tuesday, giving to Shirley a term in the state prison not to be less than 5 years and not to exceed 10 years. The 1 efthers three were sentenced to 12 months. i with George Phifer's sentence not to ' take effect if he continues in good be traviour during the next three years. I REV. W. P.

Shayr who has been con ducting the preaaMstorm of the Superior Court came to very few decisions during the past week. At the conclusion of the cases being fried, be almost in-1: variably refrained frsni passing,any sen tences and held one whole bunch over until this week when the Criminal Docket Was ' continued on Monday and Tues day. Sonic few sentences were passed on, Monday but the greater number, were held; until Tuesday, . Os prim# importance from the stand- j point of local interest was the case of : Homer Furr and s©Mie Heglar who were j charged with highway robbery. The two S youths were found guilty last week by the ; jury but Judge Shaw Waited till Toes- ; day to determine what their, fate was to S be. Both were to be confined, said the • Judge, to the State Prison for a lteriod j not ltos than 5 years and not mote thafi ; 10 years. ■ In a belief preface to passing sentences 1 oil these two boys. Judge Shaw in a very : earnest tone delivered a lecture to them, j declaring that when a mail sows to the ! wind, he may expect to reap the whirl- : wind. j Said the Judge in part: “There is a-1 law in the physical world which is rec-. | iignized by every one. When a farmer; | plants his wheat, juul his other grains., a lie expects to reap them. The same thing I is true in the moral world. You boys’ I have been sowing your ’wild oats’ and, * ytm may expect to reap like you have, | sown. , a "When a farmer plants one grain of j wheat, lie does not expect to reap | than thirty or forty grains in return. If[ | a man sows the wind, he can expect to, | reap the whirlwind. That is what you’ | boys have done. You have sown to the | wind, now you are reaping the whirl-’ j wind. It is a sad case, boys." I T. D. Maness, attorney for the two, | boys, gave notice of appeal and 60 days] | was allowed by the court in which to, 1 draw up the case. The bond was placed at; | $6,000 each but neither cf the boys has J yet raised the required amount. j Judge Shaw continued to make it liard t | for the transgressor who drove his auto-1 c mobile under the influence of liquor.
