Greensboro, March 23. Quotations are lower in all future markets, and for the grades of cotton under mid dling. But there is no demand for middling and above , to keep these grades up to near the best prices of the season. This decline is not to have been unexpected, the thing to wonder'at I that decline has Leon m small, when the 'money situation and the panicky condition of the sto:k market the large glnners figures and the continued free movement of the crop la taken into consideration. New crop preparations continue to go along in a very satisfactoryr man ner and at the moment everything points to an incrrased acreage. The reports from the dry goods district however continue full of encourage ment and ' while the spinners can probably .get through until a new crop in a very comfortable manner another large crop .will be needed. , Shall We Have a League t A letter has been received here from a party In Washington, N.

It s an open secret that this New York syndicate had co operation by . certain North Caro linians, some of whom at least have been roasted in the public .press. Mr. Btisbee writes as follows: "In a re cent letter from Governor Crawford of South Dakota,, he -has given me a copy of his recent ji correspondence with Mr. Andrews of New York.

The sentiment of this state is very strong against the use off its name for the purpose of establishing a claim against a sister state. My own view as a public officer Is that the state should not be a par'ty.to such a trans actton.ir apaMoaw- that the manifest purpose of your gift is to use this state in litigation for the purpose of influencing the state of North Carolina into making settle ment of other obligation of like char acter. - I am quite sure that the peo ple of this state would sustain me in positively declining to accept the do nation under the particular circum stances." "' Negro Stabs His Brother-in-law While In Family Row, Cans. Ing Instant Death. The people of Swansboro were bad ly shocked over a foul murder com mitted In their town, Sunday morning about 2 o'clock Sunday morning. The place has an established reputation for quiet and orderly behavior and no murder has been' committed there, It is said, before In over' 50 years. ' The murdered man was a negro, named Jenks Graham, who Is a native of that section, a mill hand. Was said to be very industrious, easy na tured and well liked by those who knew him. John Sills, the murderer, is com paratively a strange negro, coming from no one knows where. ; He was arrested tor . some minor cause ' in Jacksonville, Incarcerated, and subse quently hired out to some person at Swansboro, where he has since made his home. 'y Some time ago he married the sis ter of Graham', but the union was not a-happy one, 8III. being very cruel to his wife. Saturday night, it seems that Sills went on a spree, and along between 1 and 2 o'clock, Sun day morning, got ugly and set in to beat his wife. Her screams aroused her brother, who Jnterf erred only to meet bis death. 8111s in his mad dened fury rushed upon his brother- in-law, stabbed him in the back sev eral times, one thrust striking the heart causing Instant death. The murderer left immediately. Going to Newport, where he boarded the "Shoofly" Monday afternoon and was taken In custody upon the ar rival of the train at New Bern. Capt Hancock of the Norfolk ft Southern having heard of the murder became suspicious of the negro's appearance and telephoned ahead, and the arrest was made by policeman Bryan, Sills was placed in Craven county jail and will be taken to Jacksonville today to stand trial for his crime.

WORKOFMCONVICTS System With Which Supt J. & Mann Handles the Prisoners and the Amount of Work He Gets Out of Them. Special Correspondence. Raleigh, March 25. Your corres pondent had a chat today with Super intendent Mann of the penitentiary regarding the outlook for the year. Mr. Mann said that at the state farm on the Roanoke rlver there were 1, 200 acres in cotton last year and this season probably a little less will be planted, but that more corn will be put in. Last year the river swept away the corn or ruined it In a great measure. There are 7,220 acres in the farm and 240 convicts are em ployed there. ' Since the great dyke broke several years ago Some of the land has been abandoned because it Is always subject to overflow, but on some of the land chances are taken as sometimes the river gets it and then again it does not. The laud is reported very fertile.'' Superintendent Mann ' says that it people did not know that convicts were not available at times there would be a great many demands for them as laborers, but of course can be supplied. The only convicts now doing railway work a,re on the Atlantic Coast Line, laying a line between Selma and Divine, S.

None, are now .employed on the Raleigh & South port road or the Raleigh Pamlico Sound Wllkesboro Jefferson turnpike, which the state has taken over from the company ahlcb attempted to con struct it These convicts are finish ing the Jefferson end, between the top of the Blue Ridge and that mountain town.' . .

It Is with a true sad heart that I attempt to write this obituary of Mrs. . E. F. Arnold, whose maiden name was Carrie French. v ; The community was filled with great sorrow when it received the tid ings of her death, which occurred on the evening of March 7th, 1907, at me age or sixty-inree years. Phenom enal to say she was the mother of eight children, who are all grown, and only one preceded Jier to the eternal world. Her sickness was of short duration when God called a faithful mother to her reward, while the children and grand-children and many friends mourn their loss. But while she Is no mora nrennnr In th home to comfort and cheer, let the loved ones remember that they have been blessed with her presence much longer than the most of us have our loved ones with us. She has left to her children and to the world the rich legacy of a long well-spent life. She was a true Christian woman, and that expression embraces all that is noble and lovely In character and life. I led constant cheerfulness was like sun light to the home, her devotion to family and friends won the esteem of all. Life cannot all be sunshine. With out clouds we could nt aooreciate the lovely. Mar those who Bra left on this uiili so follow her as she followed Cl-r! i that some day the family circle m , be complete In paradise. N, M. A. .
