E. Latham & Co. New York, November 17. Heavy rains in Texas and frosts In Oklahoma caused an advance in cotton, the i too, an improved stock market helped It. Re ceipts were llbersl but the market seemed sold out for the time being. Af ter selling at 7.95 March declined to 7.90 only to recover to 7.96 during the p. m. December was the card, selling at 8.09, Spot people own a good deal of Decem ber, and will ask for delivery of every bale. This cotton will then be turned over to the holders of January. For this reason we would not sell December. With any strength in the market there may be a decided advance In December. Spot people would like to get the price up to attract more cotton here. The more the better, so far as they are con cerned. This premium on cotton makes March and May shorts nervous. Prices are now at a level where a decline must take place In Southern markets to weak en the local market. Of coarse if Wall Street is going to break badly and more January has to be sold In the market, there is not much chance of a decided upturn In prices, and if receipts keep on much ahead of last year we may see lower prices before there Is sufficient in ducement to buy for permanent invest ment. Strength and uncertainty over coming bureau report may be sufficient to offset a liberal movement and bring about a slight advance, It is likely to be a trading market for some time. ; . , J. E. Latham & Co, New York, Not. 15. There are times when it needs but little experience to show whleh way cotton Is going,' and again there are times when factors are so complicated that the best man will not know which side to choose. Now there are factors to lead one to look for a better market and factors that make one hesitate to buy. The financial sit uation and condition of January here in New, York are both rather depressing. Then there Is the continued fine weather high temperatures, that are making an addition to the yield and a free move ment that promises to exceed last year by 80,000 or 40,000 bales again this week. There is 'no : use blinding ourselves to facts. At long as the movement keeps up this way, the yield promises to be more than eleven million bales. With this outlook and , finances unsettled, there is not much bull speculation at 8c, A great many are long still but cotton keeps coming In still. While we wonld buy on goad breaks we are not satisfied that prices have touched bottom; Weather has added too much and there is too maoh cotton held on small crop theories to make much of an advance." , -J, E.

To Editor of Journal: Please give the following Editorial from the Christian Science Sentinel space as it puts before the public a fair statement concerning points perhaps not thought of . by many interested In the rights of all. M. H. Harbison, C. S. Publication Committee. "Christian Scientists present themsel ves to the world as a people consistently following the teaching of Jesus, the ac cepted Master and Exemplar of Christ ianity, rendering to God the things that are God's and to Caesar the things that are Ctesar'a. Their position la that of law-abiding citizens, enjoined to be scrupulously exact In observing the laws of the land, careful of the rights of their fellowmen, asking no more for themsel ves than they are willing to grant to others, and patiently to seek the reli gions liberty guaranteed to all men under the constitution of all free conn tries. The first amendment of the consti tution of the United States provides that "Congress shall make no law respect ing an establishment of religion or pro hibiting the free exercise thereof," and further (14th amendment, (Sect. 1), that "no state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge. the privileges or Im munities of citizens of the United States nor deny to any person within its juris diction the equal protection of the laws." The essential features of these provi sions of the federal constitution reappear In the constitution of the several states of which the following excerpt from the constitution of the .. State of Illinois may serve as sn example: "The free exercise and enjoyment of religious profession and worship with out discrimination shall forever be guar anteed: and no person shall be denied any civil or political right, privilege, or capacity, on account of his religious opinions." In a majority of the progressiva an d enlightened nations of the world, some form of the Chrlstaln religion, the teach ings of Jesus Christ, is prescribed ae the religion of the State, in others Christian ity Is recognized as the prevailing reli gion of the people. The United States is within this latter class, because the great majority of our people profess some form of Christianity. We may therefore say that this Is a Christian country, and no person should have the hardihood to dispute the right of any and every person to practice Christianity, or, as Webster defines It," the system of doc trines and precepts taught by Christ. No one at all familiar with the New Testament will deny that Jesus Christ taught his followers to heal the sick, that he used no material means In heal ing those who came to him, that he taugh his followers to heal as he healed, and that his Immediate followers healed without material means. It Is therefore a fact that the religion of Christ In cludes healing without drugs or other material remedies, and this has been recognized, in some degree, by Christian teachers of all faiths. The establishment of this fact places Christian healing within the protection of the religious liberty guaranteed by the constitution. The fact that so-called material science has declared for a system of drugs does not alter the fundamental law of the land, nor does it give reason for Invad ing the personal and religious liberty of the people. A different phase of the question Is presented, however, In the matter of re porting cases of so-called contagious disease, In keeping with the law or reg ulation which, subject to the above con stitutional limitations, has been enacted with a view to conserve the public wel fare, and so long as the law demands that such cases be reported, Christian Scientists should be prompt and unfail ing In their obedience and give the pub lic - the benefit of any serious donbt which msy attend the classification of disease, . Respecting this our Leader has said:-- , "On the subject of reporting conta gion 1 have this to say: I have i always believed that Christian Scientists should be law-abiding; and, actuated by this conviction, I authorized the following statement, which appeared in the Bos ton Herald about one year ago: " 'Rather than quarrel over ; vaccina tion, I recommend that If the law de mand an Individual to submit to this process, he obey the law; and then ap peal to the gospel to save him from any bad results. Whatever changes belong to this century, or any epoch, we may safely submit to the providence of God, to common justice,' individual rights, and government usages.' "This statement should be so Inter preted as to apply, on the basis of Christ Ian Science, to the reporting of conta- f;lon to the proper authorities when the aw so requires. When Jesus was ques tioned about obeying the human law, he declared: 'Render unto Ctesar the things that are Ctcsar's', even while yon 'render unto God the things that are God's.' " ' Healing through Christian Science has been before the public for 'some thirty-six years, not withstanding that it has been the subject of bitter criticism and merciless attack, it has won its wsy to public confidence through the healing of every form of disease. ! Its adherents are healthy, happy men . and women, and in unnumbered cases they were made healthy and happy, through Christian Science after years of suffering, and after medical and surgical treatment had utterly failed. If there were but one such case It would present iustlficatlon for the existence of the Jhurch ot Christ, Scientist, but there are thoussnds. To demand of Christian Scientists unvarying success In overcom ing disease. Is to subject them to a test which would utterly and forever con demn the material methods of treatment for which the exactors stand. While Christian Scientists rejoice In achieve ments which have removed all doubt, both as to the sufficiency of the Principle of Christian Science, and as to the only safe and wise course for them to pursue, they recognize that they are but relative beginners In the apprehension of Truth, and they point to Jesus as the only per fect demonstrator of the healing pow er. ' - .": wr Undoubtedly the - list of thirty-five failures wlthtn six years, recently com piled by a critic is not complete, but if there were several times that number the percentage would still be so far below the normal death rate under medical practice as to accentuate the fact that Christian Science is more efficient. ' We have heard no whisper of Indict ng the physicians and parents of the 1,- 145 who died of diphtheria In six months in Greater New York. Since Christian Science has been be fore the public, hundreds of reputable persons have testified that they have been so enlightened by reading the text book, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker G. Eddy, that they have been healed, and very many of them after they were given up by physicians. Mrs. Eddy Is constantly In receipt of thanks and encouraging words from Archbishops, Doctors of Di vinity, eminent lawyers, and loving child ran. Mrs. Eddy advises that "until the pub lic thought becomes better acquainted with Christian Science the Christian Scientists shall decline to doctor Infec tious or contagious diseases." The prosperity of our Cause, and the health and regeneration of mankind de mand that all Christian Scientists shall be awake to every thought that qulca ens their spiritual perception. They must remember that "In Science, Divine Love alone governs man" (Church Man uel), and steadfastly consecrate them selves to the service of God. Archibald McLkllan, Editor.

Governor Aycock said today that while the physicians had said two of his children, Connor and Louise, had scarlet fever, yet that the fever had left them and had not returned and that they were doing particularly well There has been no rain here In two weeks, in fact only 85-100 of an Inch has fallen this month, yet yesterday the fog was so heavy as to give 1-1000 of an Inch of precipitation. This, the weather observer says, Is very unusual. There was another fog today. The white Republicans are dividing Into three classes the Prltchsrd, the antl-Prltchard and the "on the fence." The first declares that Prltchard ab solutely controls the party In North Carolina, the second declares that If the President withdraws federsl patronage from Prltchard the latter will lose all his power and Influence In 34 hours. The third class Is saying nothing, but Is awaiting developments. Tour correspondent was out In the country yesterday and was amazed at the sight of large cotton fields as green as In August, and with the tops of the plants full of blossoms, squares and forms. There Is a new growth, from the very ground. Gov. Aycock was shown one of the stalks out of a 50 acre field and ssld a new crop of cotton had been gathered since September 1 and that here was a third crop1 coming If cold weather held off. The Governor ex pressed his surprise to find cotton grow ing In 8 miles of Murphy, Cherokee county, the western most in the State. He also saw it In adjoining county. It is said that in Alabama the new crop, gathered since September 1, Is the best ever made. State auditor Dixon says he was so told by an Alabama farm er. Lee Demon, son of Capt. Claude Ii.
