J- E Latham & Company' Weekly - -. Cotton Letter. s j Special to Journal. s , Greensboro, Feb. 8. Since our letter of Jany 27th cotton has made a further decline of J cent per pound, but' there is Bome recovery and the market closes steady, 25 points up from ( the lowest. The census .department estimates that there is yet to gin 254,000 bales. If this estimate should prove correct, and the amount reported ginned . is not un der stated, it would mean a growth estimating 'inters and samples as 250, 000, or 10,600,0CO bales. We can see no "reason to abandon our estimates of Jl, 000,000 bales commercial crop, but while trade continues good we are not inclined to be too bearish on the decline This lowering of prices will have some tendency to reduce the contemplated acreage, and perhaps cause less ex travagance in the use of commercial fertilizers.- . Receipts continue free, and mofe' than sufficient to supply the demand. It is thought however, thatt this supply is coming largely from hedged dealers, and discouraged mer chants, as the farmers are holding rather firmly. In tho natural order of things we should have some further improvement from this depression." : OASVOniA, Bwratb : Tha Kind Yob Haw Always Bag j ' By The People, bays tilenn JIS Special to Journal.

Samuel. - the .revenue officer on trial in the Federal court here was i . . .1 a i : ta..:-. cross examination District Attorney showed that stills which had been run ning for months while Samuel was in charge were easily found when new ' officers arrived in 1905 and that eleven were destroyed irt two days," among them being three steam distilleries operated by Jim Combes and his two brothers. : Solicitor General Hayes, who has been present during the whole of the trial, aiding in the prosecution, was called to Washington last night, to consult with AttorneyGeneral Moody over some important briefs in prepara tion for the Supreme Court. He will return Monday. - 4 . .: In saying the mental anguish claim in the W. I. Young case, here, was new in this State, " this correspondent was advertant to the numerous decis ions and recoveries against; telegraph companies for failure to deliver tele grams announcing serious illness or death of relatives. Rut in tho case of W. , I. Young's suit against the Southern Railway, the mental- anguish arose from faulty performance of a contract and the peculiar agony of de layed schedules while trying to reach a desperately sick wife - and child, was the principle in the case, which also contained a claim for recovery of $720 already paid out for a special , train. The point is a new one in North Caro lina. The verdict for the $72i) and ths additional sura of $500 damages for the mental anguish caused will bring the matter squarely up to the Supreme Court for decision. If somebody could get a verdict for mental anguish caused by lying bulletin boards as to the ar rival and departure of trains it would bring about a speedy reform' in this aggravating nuisance, and serious bad example to the rising generation by in culcating disrespect for telling the truth. . : v.' . ; There are well defined rumors here that an effort is being made to induce Rev. W. W Moore, President of the Union Theological Seminary of Rich mond, to return to his native State and become pastor of the. First 'Presbyteri an Church here,, to fill the ; vacancy caused by the transfer of Rev. Dr. E. W. Smith to Louisville, v Dr. Moore will preach -in the church here next Sunday.

She will speak in the court house next Thursday night Her discourse will be along the same line as was that of Eugene V. Debs last Saturday. ' Greensboro Female College has inau gurated a series of lectures by well known men, open to the people of the city at large as well as to the students. The first lecture of the series was de livered last.nightby.lDr. C. D. Mclver, president of the State Normal and In dustrial College. He was introduced by Mrs. Lucy Robertson, president" of the College. Dr.. Mclver's address was a discussion of the relations of culti- vated and educated young women to present day problems in North Caro - Una. ' He outlined the great work done by MDO,...ff.

The little baby- waif left here by a .strange woman six weeks.ago to be cared for by Nancy Holt, a negress living a mile beyond the city limits, was taken in possession Saturday night by officers of the law under a writ of habeas corpus, and proceedings for guardianship instituted by W, B, Streeter, superintendent of the Children's Home Society. The of ficer found the child in a small room in which four negro women slept and lived, and ha says "the baby slept at night between two of the women, It was placed.in possession of Mr Streeter who will take care of it until the hear ing by the judge on the return day of the written das from service. ' . J-."- The news here that District Attorney Holton had been given assurance that he would be re-appointed district attor ney was not surprising here, where his great work in prosecuting frauds against the'1' government ; has been known perhaps better than anywhere else, as most of the big revenue trials for the past three years have been in the Federal court at Greensboro. Hoi- ton's great ability and zeal in ferreting out as well as prosecuting the violators of the revenue laws, has been recog nized for some time,' and rumors that the whiskey .ring inside the republican organization would be able to turn him out was always discounted. , There was the usual short Saturday morning session.of j Federal court, and none but character witnesses were ex amined in the Samuel case. Deputy collector T. L. Green, who -was under going cross examination by the district attorney when court adjourned Friday did not get a chance to complete his testimony and was on the stand again this morning. The character witnesses were made, a -cross-examination l y Mr. Holton, to take up so much time, it was Saturday noon recess hour before they were disposed of. .' Aside from character witnesses the defence so far has had only witness to testify who was not a revenue officer, or who had been a revenue officer ' - " ' . ' There was a mild sensation here when thelWilkesboro train arrived after Federal court had adjourned Saturday and there Btcpped frim the train the much discussed and ' long ; looked for James Combes, whose name and ex ploits as a blockader and ostensible in- t former hive figures so largely in the t trial ofthe revenue officers, especially in connection with officer Samuel now on trial for alleged filing of false in- ' formers checks in the name of Jim Combes and conspiracy with Combes to 1 defraud the government Combes was indicted at tho special term of the Knd'JUiy last September With the of- ficera for al,ced conspiracy to defraud V government, and one'of the counts against Samuel in his trial now is col- lusion with Combes, a distiller to tl'ow him to run contrary to law.
