The Raleigh Cotton Market
Continued Active
this Week
FARMERS ABLE TO HOLD
Refuse to Sell for Less Than Ten
Cents. Top Crop Predicted,
by the Farmers.
The Raleigh cotton market is show
ing greater activity than in several
years, and the farmers arc exercising
independence, such as was not seen
here during the past two seasons.
Many of them are refusing to allow
their cotton to be touched unless the
price is at least ten cents. A reporter
on the cotton exchange this morning
heard several farmers remark: "You
needn't cut my cotton unless it is ten
cent; I'm not bound to sell today.
- Cotton was slightly off on the mar
ket today, bringing from 9a to 9
cents, and very little was sold, al
though there were over 400 bales on
the Raleigh market today. The farm
ers were not grumbling at this mar
ket, for the prices here are as high or
higher than anywhere in the State, but
they are simply unwilling to sell for
less thnn ten cents, and are in a posi
tion to hold their cotton.
Three Exchange grocery houses said
that numbers of their customers eith
er stored their cotton here in itnleigh
6r carried it back home.
Yesterday cotton brought ten cents
nnd 460 bales were sold on this mar
ket. The number of bales sold here this
week up to this morning was 1,009
bales.
Rales sold from September 1st, 1900,
on this market amount to 5,622 bales
against 3,513 during the same period
lust year. :
As an indication of how the prices
run on October 5th, 1900, ten cents
was paid, while October, 5, 1899, cotton
brought seven cents.
The farmers have made more than
half a crop, erha.ps three-fourths near
here, and .as the cost of picking and
ginning lessened they are in a much
better position to hold their crop.
TOP CHOP,
The Weather Bureau in its bulletins
said that there would be no top crop
of cotton this year and the farmers
seem to hold the same view, but sever
al farmers said today that this warm
weather had brought out signs of a
small top crop and contrary to all pre
cedent, with a late fall, they thought a
top crop would be made. '
SOIL SURVEY
Map of Newbcrne Trucking Sect
ion. Analysing Soils.
Dr. Kilgore, State Chemist, says
that the strip eight miles wide from
here to Newbcrn, has been surveyed
and the State chemists are now busy
analyzing the samples of the soils
which were collected and sent here.
A detailed map of the trucking area
around Newbern in Craven county is
now being made. Mr. Ceburn Harris
is drawing the map and a government
specialist is there to do the classifica
tion of the soils. This map will be 4
inches to the mile, hence it is on a
very large scale, and will, for instance,
show all the different kinds of soils
on any fifty-acre farm around New
bern. ClID.liN WUSON.

PORTO RIGO ROMANCE
Miss . Edna Waitt, Formerly of
' Raleigh, to Wed.
Mrs. T. J. Scarlette left this morn;
ing. for Danville, Va.; where she will
attend the mariage of a former charm
ing daughter of luileigh to a prominent
educator or Porto Rico. Next Wednes
day at the home of the bride's father
in Danville, Miss Edna Waitt will be
married to Prof. David Skinner, o
Porto lUco, and after the ceremony
the couple will leuve for their far
away home in the South.
Miss Waitt is remembered by the
young people of Raleigh most pleas
antly, having formerly resided here
while her father, Capt. George Waitt,
was conductor on the Southern Rail
way between Greensboro and Golds
boio. Some years since Captain Waitt
moved to Danville,'' which he now
makes his headquarters.
The marriage of Miss Waitt and
Prof. Skinner is the result of a pretty
romance. After Porto Rico became a
possession of this country Uncle Sam
arranged for opening schools on Ihe
island. Miss Waitt stood an excellent
examination and secured one of the
appointments as teacher, and went to
Porto Kieo. While there last year she
met Prof. Skinner, who was in charge
of one of the schools, and the after
math of this acquaintance will be his
visit to Danville next Wednesday and
the ceremony then performed.
Mr. and Mrs. Skinner will have the
best wishes of the people of Raleigh.

RALEIGH, N. , C, SATURDAY
BURNED AT A STAKE
Eddie McBride Perished at
the Hands of Playmates
at Xienton.
BOYS PLAYING AS INDIANS
The Youngsters Ignorantly At
tempted to Extinguish the
Fire with Gasoline.
By telegraph to The Times.
Trenton, Oct. 6. Eddie McBride,
aged eleven years, was burned to death
at a stake by the hands of playmates.
After school ,he played with several
companions, dressed as Indians, nnd
their part of the game was to let him
escape from the other lads, who im
personated savages of the tribe guard
ing the prisoner. A big open lot was
the scene of the fun, which proved a
sad tragedy. The youngsters cut
ropes and bound him and started from
their mock Indian village. He was
caugh and flung to the ground, tied
to the stake and the pile lighted. The
flames gained too much headway, and
the boy tried to put. it out, and threw
what was supposed to be water on
McBride, but it proved to be gasoline.
The flames sprang higher with a roar.
The boys became scared and ran away.
Passers-by heard the yells and cut the
boy loose, but he was half roasted and
unconscious and died before he reach
ed the hospital.
