The Times receives the cable and telegraph service of the Publishers’ Press Association, an acknowledged leading news gathering association in the United States. ^TRADES COUNCIL > Raleigh, N. C.,May 13.—While prices have been gradually working lower this week, there has been no apprecia ble change in the cotton situation. Liv erpool continues to be the weak sister, and notwithstanding the lact that the cotton shortage exists in Great Britain, trade conditions there do not appear such as to warrant purchases for ad vancing prices. This has been the na ture of the case tor some weeks and developments recently have thrown no additional light on the outlook. Slowly The addresses delivered on Memo rial Day in the State were unusually fine. They contain not only appro priate sentiments, but some valuable historical information. and with frequent ’upturns the prices of the old crop positions appears to be working lower and without a decided speculative change or unfavorable crop news there appears to be no induce ment to buy July cotton under 13% cents than was the case over that fig ure. It has been, and still is, a most unsatisfactory market to trade in, and one in which profits are difficult to 1 here were few, if any, papers in the State, the editorials of which were more frequently referred to than those of the Morning Post. That Editor Fur man will take his place at the very top of high-class journalism does not ad mit of a doubt.- Indiana Democrats are complaining of the bitterness of the campaign be tween the Hearst and Parker forces. So accute is the feeling in some parts of the State that a new set of candi dates is recommended. This would fail to relieve the situation, the same thing would occur between the new set, and would not be long about it. Goldsboro is in the throes of a sec ond-class carnival. The towns has used better discretion than most of them do who allow these nuisances to take up in their midst. The Goldsboro people confine this one to the limits of the court-nouse square, instead of al lowing them to occupy places on the streets. Why any town should want such an aggregation of humanity, with their indifferent and often indecent exhibitions, is hard to understand. Their presence in a town means the carrying away every cent they can lay taeir hands on, and rendering no value whatever, in money or otherwise. The cost of living varies, not so much because the prices for necessa ries go up, as for the reason that peo ple have made money and consequent ly are willing to put more of it into their living. When money is very scarce, people do on very little cloth ing, but when it’s plentiful, they wear more and better clothing. It’s much the same with food and house furni- tur^ PeopleJvho. get gOud wages buy more food, and what is more costly, than when wages are low and money is scarce. People never complain at the cost of living when money is easy and work plentiful. The fact is, the pres ence of these two conditions may be said to embody the ideal notion of ma terial prosperity. A debt cannot be said to be compro mised till all the parties concerned agree to it. A State can no more act arbitrarily in a matter of this sort than can an individual. Certainly where the creditor happens to live has noth ing to do with the justness 'of his claim. That which has been settled by mutual agreement of both debtors and creditors ought, and will, remain so forever. But if the State has a sin gle honest obligation outstanding it ought to pay every cent of it and no body ought to regard it as any hard ship for it to be compelled to do so. If one individual acting upon his judg ment accepts terms and settles, he ought to abide by his actions, but that places no obligation on anybody else, if he choses to pursue another course, holding his investment for better prof its. An individual never feels so well as when he discharges an honest obli- , gation. A State cannot afford to set its people any examples of doubtful deal ings. ' reap. But facts are facts, and must ■ be recognized, and since Liverpool is [ not an encouraging factor in the situa tion, it would be loolish to advise pur lchases as long as the situation remains i in its present apathetic condition. On I I the other hand, there is a great deal to j be said against the short selling of the new crop. It does not show very much I gray matter or originality to insist upon the bull side of the market from jyear ti year, and we do not want our customers to feel that we are always i to be found on the same side. But the fact of the matter is that every indica tion points to extremely limited re- i serves of old cotton to be carried into I the new year. Had it not been for the (war in the far East and the general j trade reaction in this country cotton i would not be selling at 13% cents on a I crop of 10,250,000 bales. In addition I to the light reserves there will be an I enormous demand for the first of the • new crop, irrespective of the yield ! itself. Stocks of raw material and . manufactured goods are both limited, land this insures an active demand for . the first pickings. The new crop posi- I tions are selling at a discount of 2 [cents and over under the present price I of spot cotton and the condition of the growing crop is not -at all brilliant. Everything now depends upon the progress of the next crop. In the weekly weather report tnis week the Carolinas, Georgia, Alabama and por tions of Mississippi reported impor tant sections suffering for rain. For 'three months during the winter there was a serious drought in the South- west, which resulted in killing the whole crop and this area has been re planted to cotton. When rains began in the Southwest tney came in such abundance that the deficiency has all been made up and some sections now show several inches excess rainfall. It is still raining in these regions and the i weather report states that Texas fields are getting very grassy. You need not be told that this is one of the worst things that can happen to the crop. With the reports stating that whole fields are dying.in the Atlantic States, ■ we are simply quoting the words of the report itself, and grassy fields in parts of Texas, it does not seem as though conditions were all that they should be to raise a bumper crop. All this may be changed in a day, but until it is changed there is likely to be a howl from the Atlantic coast regian, and it would not be safe to be short of the [new crop positions under these condi- * tions. As we said last week, we would I like to be able to get October under 11 cents. | Cotton movement: According to Sec- iretary King, of the New York Cotton Exchange, the total amount of cotton ] brought into sight this week has been 146,670 bales, as compared with 75,658 , bales during the . corresponding week [last year, and the total amount brought into sight so far this season is 9,675,480 I bales, against a movement during the I same period last season of 10,263,191 [bales, showing the movement this year to be 587,711 bales behind that of last year. Receipts tomorrow: At New Orleans 900 to 1,300 bales, against 1,629 bales last week, and 2,575 bales last year; at Houston, 200 to 400 bales, against 185 bales last week, and 2,452 bales last year; at Galveston, 60v to 700 bales, ! against 118 bales last week, and 591 I bales last year. j Receipts today: At New Orleans, 1.- , 457 bales, against 2,234 bales last week land 1,713 bales last year; at Houston, [752 bales, against 173 bales last week, land 723 bales last year; at Galveston, [ 978 bales, against 491 bales last week, and 1,843 bales last year.

The Average Men of 75 Today is in the “Is,” Net “Has Been,” Class. j From Chicago Inter Ocean. The time was, and not so long ago ' either, when men of sixty-five and sev-! enty regarded themselves, and were re-1 garded by others, as having reached I that point when they should be willing to retire from the activities of life. j '''■"• conception of the man of seven-1 ty-five only a few years ago was that of a white-haired patriarch who found j pleasure only in reminiscences, the I sectarian weeklies, checkers, dominoes and his grandchildren. But the times have changed. The average man of seventy-five today is neither bent, feeble nor senile. He has not retired from the activities of life, that he is aware of; nor has he any idea of retiring. Much less is he in clined to surrender to the younger peo ple around him any of the responsibili ties or pleasures of existence. He reads the sporting columns, plays golf, roots for his favorite baseball club, and may perchance take a flyer on the races. Moreover, he is, if anything, inclined to be more attentive to the ladies than he was at sixtv. at forty, or at thirty. There is William Ross, aged seven- tv-three, for instance, a farmer of Chaplin, Conn., who was supposed to be a retired and confirmed bachelor. After living alone for nearly half a century, after suffering a stroke of paralysis, and after frequently disao- nointing his relatives, who were look ing for a share in his fortune of $100,- 000, by refusing to die. he fell in love with a young widow and married her. He is, in fact, only beginning life. But this is hardly as forcible an illus tration of the changed conditions we have been sneaking of as the case of William Rich, aged eighty, of Green wich, Conn., who. though twice a wid ower, has just eloped with his mother- in-law, “with all the romance,” it is said, of a youth of twenty-three. This young old man’s course, how ever it may serve to emphasize the point that old men are no longer as old as their years would indicate, cannot be wholly approved, for it has compli cated matters in his family. His pres ent bride, is the grandmother of his three children by nis first wife. It is H ® The most loathsome and repulsive of all living things is the serpent, and the vilest and most degrading of all human diseases is Contagious Blood Poison. The sei pent sinks, its fangs into the flesh and almost instantly the poison passes tnrough the entire body. Contagious Blood Poison, beginning with a little ulcer, soon contaminates every drop of blood and spreads throughout the whole system. Painful swellings appear in the groins, a red rash and copper colored splotches break out on the body,"the mouth and throa* become ulcerated, and the hair and eye brows fall out; but these symptoms are mild compared to the wretchedness and suffering that come in tlie latter stages of the disease when it attacks the bones and more vital parts of the body. It is then that Contagiou-s Blood Poison is seen in all its hideous- ness Ilie deep eating abscesses and sickening ulcers and tumors show the whole system is corrupted and poisoned, and unless relief comes soon this serpent disease-tightens its coils and crushes out the life. The only antiQotc for the awful virus is S. S. S. It is i^^t^^Q^s ^f^s^^c^yu com posed entirely,of vegetable ingredients. S. 8. 8. destroys every vestige of the poison, purifies the blood and removes all danger of transmitting the awful taint to others. Nothing else will do°this. Strong mineral remedies, like mercury and potash, dry up the sores and drive in,the disease, but do not cure permanently.
