THE PAST WEEK
Indicate Healthy State. Exports
Large. Sales To Mills. Dead-
leek la Prices (.kiutinue. j
New York, Nov. 25. Cotton has al- j
ternately declined and advanced on a
steady absorption by spot interests,
spinners and short), Bombay will, it
ia said, take 250,000 bales this year.'
the largest total ever known. The yarn !
trade is improving. Several orders for i
knitting yarns, aggregating about 2T0
pounds, were taken by New York State
mills on Wednesday: Spinners continue j
quoting prices that are about a cent
above the market. The Southern yarn j
markets are also reported firm. Fall
River is active. The week's sal'sarej
expee'ed to be unusually large. Some
French and German mills are buyiDg
cotton on the present basis for delivery
several years aheid. Large New Or
leans operators are buying the next
crop months. So are continental Bpin
ners in Liverpool. They are said to be
baying them on a very large scale.
The $50,)00,000 schemo to advance
Southern farmer $25 a bale on securing
his pledge to restrict his next acreage,
takes two million bales off the market,
and then buy futures against it while
it is denounced by many as absurd is
regarded by others as possibly an enter
ing wedge to clear the way for some
better method for marketing the cot
ton than that which hag heretofore
been pursued. Meantime, holding back
cotton at the South is still a noticeable
factor in the genet al situation. The
short interest here is said to be Btill
large and the shorts and everybody
else, it is declared, seems anxious to
teize the oppoitunity to buy when the
price reaches bottom. But what will
prove to be the bottom is not assured.
Has it already been reached, or must
the price decline further. Meantime
many tradera fear to sell a dull market.
The exports are enormous. On the
other hand, prices fail to advance ma
terially. Though the ginning figures
for the last period were 230,000 bales
smaller than were general'y expected,
the total, 10,296.980" bales was after ull
the largest on record. The receipts
are large. The weather has recently
been favorable for picking and market
ing. "The cotton is there whatever
the reported ginning," is a remark of
ten heard. Cordill has increased his
estimate of the Texas crop from 4. 150,
000 balea to 4,500,0110 Bales, which
makes his total intimate of the crop
15,775,000 bales.
Spot houses have latterly been sell
ing January. The December premium
has fallen off. The big preponderance
of low grades in a large crop this year
some think, may yet prove a depressing
effect. As the case stands, however,
cotton is being absorbed in sufficient
quantities to keep the prices steady,
though the Liverpool cotton txchange
members estimate the crop on the aver
age at 14,811,0Jf) bains, and the Mem
phis Commercial Appeal puts it at
15,045,000 bales. The tenacity with
which the price holds is exciting wide
spread comment, Some continental
spinners are buying cotton as far ahead
It is staled, as 1918. Net changes in
prices for the week are slight. The
deadlock of six weeks is practically un
broken. Brand New Line

INFORMATION
PERSECUTION RA
THER THAN TRIAL
Declares (iompers. Would io To
Jail But Delegates Will
Fight.
Atlanta, Ga., Nov.'25 "Let us go to
jail and end it," John Mitchell said in
the convention of the American Fed
eration of '.abor when the news arrived
that Justice Wright of the Supreme
Court of the District of Columbia had
decided that Mitchell, Samuel Gomperi
and Frank Morrison must again stand
trial for contempt of court. "1 want
to serve my sentence and get it over
with."
"No, we will fight it to the end,"
shouted the delegates in chorun, and by
unanimous vote the convention at once
decided to fight the contempt proceed
ings through every court.
"This whole proceeding," Gompers
said, "has been in the nature of per
secution rather than trial. It is hard
to understand how a man so lacking in
judicial temperament as Justice Wright
could be raised to the bench. He is
mentally incompetent for his place,"
at which the delegates cheered.
The convention appropriated $50,000
for the McNamara defense in Los An
geles, and by a vote of 176 to 7 $60,000
more will be raised by taxing the sal
aried officers of the federation and of
affiliated unions one week's pay for the
same purpose. Appeal will also be
made to wage workers all over the
country to subscribe to the campaign
fund of Job Harriman, the Socialist
candidate for Mayor of Los Angeles.

OF LAST WEEK
Mi8Kplled Words. Pupils Work
Out of Hours. Thanksgiving
Holiday and Offering
For the Poor.
The accusation is often heard tint
children now-a-days are not as good
spellers aa in tbe "good old limes." Of
course, there are good and bad spellers
today aa there were years ago, and as
there will likely be for many years to
come. Usually a poor speller has some
defect in hearing or sight. During the
past week an account has bren kept of
every word mis spelled in high school
composition work. Out of the 8th, !tli
and 10th grades, the following words
were mis-spelled: giants, nymph, hea
ven, too, fascinating, jealous, until,
poplars, pined, manage, stopped. These
were found in 90 compositions.
There are quite a number of boys and
girls in the graded school who do work
outside of school hours, for which they
receive pay. In many instances this
money is used to help support them
selves. It may be of interest to know
just what they do. A large number of
boys coilect in the afternoon and Satur
days, others clerk in grocery, fruit and
dry goods stores; still others deliver
telegrams and do work in the lum
ber yards; several sell newspapers and
deliver our daiy papers. Quite a num
ber of girls work on the ouside also.
but the majority help at home and re
ceive pay for their time 'and labor
Washing the dinner dishes, cleaning up
the houBe, etc. seem to be favorite
schemes for the girls. One girl does
every bit of her own sewing, for which
her father pays her, 48 boys and 22
girls report this outside work for which
they receive pay. A number of the
teachers expect to attend the North
Carolina Teachers' Assembly in Raleigh,
On next Thursday and Friday the mual
Thanksgiving holiday will be given ihis
year and there will be no school on
either Thursday or Friday, Nov. ;;oth
Dec. 1st. The usual thanksgiving offer
ing for the poor afflicted of the city,
will be taken on Wednesday next. The
beautiful custom for many years of
each pupil bringing Home gift for the
poor and afflicted, will be followed. The
offering will be distributed on Wednes
day afternoon.
- Tbe 3A Grade had a spelling bee on
Friday morning At the end of twenty-five
minutes the following remained
standing: Charlene Knapp, Leora Ar
thur, Carolyn Carmon, Lloyd Doughty,
John Palmer. This grade has begun
fractions and seeniH to be getting on
very wel.
In the 5A Grade the following id a
list of those not missing a word in spell
ing dnring the week: Grace Stewart.
Felix Labaki, OufTy Rowe, Mildred
Whitehurst, Annie May Dukca, Brenda
Koapp, Robert Nixon, Daisy Lockyer,
Lucy McDaniel. Very creditable maps
of the Southern States have been drawn
in this grade during the week. Thin
morning some interesting facts were
reai, for a few minuter, from "Current
Events" and much interest was arou.s
ed by calling on tbe children to tell
what had been read. In a spelling bee,
in the 4A grade Lillian Grubs was the
only girl left standing against ten boys,
the boys finally winning out.
