Post and Flagg’s Cotton Letter.
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.

18,006 Former Officers Among Jobless
Britons.
London. 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.

PHAROAH’S MdNEY SAVED FOR
YEARS, STOLEN BY HIS SONS
Old Negro Had Hiding Place In Tbe
Floor Where He Hgt Hoarded Maricy
to Two Buckets. „ , . j
A parallel to the tfik of Silas Marner,!
the weaver of Ravejo. has appeared in
Superior Court here this Week. 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

THE CONCORB DAILY TRIBUNE
TUESDAYS HtinpMRNT J)AY^
1 to 10 Years,
1 Tuesday was Judgment Day for a num
ber of local law-breakers. They received’
their sentence which had held over from
the 'jiast week.
I Judge T. J. 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. F.[ |
B. Robinson in a charge of this kind’ 1
was find S2OO and costs. In a similar J
charge, Whit Smith and Harry Horton. |
were ordered confined to the coupty jail |
for 6 months, were to pay the costs in] s
the case, were required not to use into*!-., j
eating liquars and not to drive a car for |
a period of 2 years. The road sentence,,!
however, was not to take effect unless so 1
ordered by a judge within the next two.«
years. 1
