whiskey bought during the past three
months is not over $300 worth. He
said he could not estimate precisely
the value of the stock on hand, but
if was certainly under $3,000. He has
been preparing ninety days for the
closing, as he had been certain-prohibition
would win, and he desired the
city to lose as little as'posslble. He
said he had voted for the dispensary.
Mr. Snelllng said be voted against it
.They shook hands as they said this.
Mr. Batchelor said , the dispensary
would not open any more; that It
could have opened until noon today,

this being almost precisely $1.00 less
than the sales the 'same day one year
before. When the dispensary asked
if they thought IJUhere had been any
reduction In drinking this year, local
ly as compared with that done during
the dispensary's year 1904, they said
It had about the same. On each side

Latham's Weekly Cotton Letter '
Greensboro, N.: O.s Dea. 23. Jan
uary cotton In New York sold yester
day at 10:18, which ia more than one
cent per pound under the prices rul
ing the first half of December,' mar
keting has been tree and the develop
ments from the spinners atandpoict
hav not been tatisfactory. We will-
enter the new year with many home
mills on short time. The trade situa
tion abroad is less encouraging but a
full consumption of cotton is going on
in Europe with n signs f early cur
tailment Christmas hat been good
and better than generally looked for
and this tends to indicate a return of
confidence and a more cheerful feel
ing among the people at largo. If the
banks will do their part by being con
servative and" considerate and take
some ot their own medicines In lib
eral doses, it looks like better times
are ahead. A complete recovery will
be slow, but slow Is better than a re
lapse and another spasm. With-regards
to cotton,-1 can see no solid
promise for any big advance- to be
sustained. At the moment,1 1 consid
er the outlook as favorable to higher
Prices because the market la already
down a cent a pound, because It Is
usual to have a riae in January, be
cause there Is locally a better feeling
in business. Let every one make a
new year resolve to do everything they
can do to promote the better feeling.

Some were merely to see how the old

a few did not know that it had been

disappointment when they discovered
that there was "nothing doing" and
no longer could the white crow or the
red rye be procured. Some of the
people here In town have said that
die whiskey sold at the dispensary
waa poor stuff; not half so good as
that which the saloons, used to sell.
All Vhe liquor left in the place worth
speaking of, Is more expensive sort,
and this will be sold In' bulk, after
