X?v. 23.?The price! .of cot ion-ranged last week over 240 to 261. points, prices.at their lowest :;*beirig 163 to 202 points under the ' level of the close of the preceding: "week and . at their highest 57 to 75 j points- over. The net Changes were; /a&vlahces of live to .11 points on May, which closed 4 7 points net lower. ?Selling pressure developed mainly j from ' unfavorable news from the! money market, but there was also! considerable selling on the coal strike! situation and the action of the senate! in regard' to the peace treaty. The| Census bureau report-on ginning toj KWember 14, was followed by a sell-] ing wave-because it indicated pre-; diction, for the fifth ginning period of -1,303,-96?- bales against only \929,261 j dt^h?^the same period last year.! jE^por^for the week attracted a ? great ^ea* of-attention, as they werej the largest in. many months, the to- j tal from all ports being 245,367 bales against 6.S.281. the same week last year. Exports .on Friday alone i arnounted to 9S.269 bales. Tatet week the market will watch j toe coal, strike more closely than ever j ./or, if it-continues, it is felt that thei shortage-.of fuel will begin to- affect i induatry, while if it is settled it is j thought/ that far reaching improve-' ment- will ensue, if at first only be-! cause of sentimental reasons. On the} end of last week considerable buying j followed the report that attempts { . would hef made this week to create a| more stable market for foreign ex- j ciiange. The spot markets of the! South will be of more than usual in-J iere^t because of the refusal^thus far jot spot val?eJj ,to follow the decline | in the contract market.

Fir^k of iForth by direction of the' i SHOOTS WIFE, j THEN ESCAPES I Rock Hill Officers Searching For j A. M. Giles, Accused of Se- ' riousty Wounding Mrs/ j Giles I Rock Hill, Xov. 20.?Meeting hi: j wife on the street this afternoon, A. j M. Giles, a local photographer 1 shot j her down and calmly walked fr?rn jthe scene of his crime. Oflicers. aifl j ed by citizens, are scouring the com jmunity in an effort to locate the man. i. .- ? ? The couple had' been parted for [some time and. it is understood. Giles [has on one or more oecasions th'reat I ened to kill his wife since their sep aration. Mrs. Giles was rooming at] jthe home of Ike HayesfXorth Wilson i street, and had just left the house, going to work for the afternoon. Giles was coming: up the street, and the twoj spoke as they approached, as if in ! greeting, according to spectators. Giles drew a pistol as he passed and ! began tiring. Two shots were tired j and Mrs. Giles grappled with him in j an effort to prevent his making ef-' fectivo use of the weappm Two ad- j ditional shots were tired, at least one ; taking effect in the left temple. There j was also a wound above the right j ear. but whether the ball entering the j temple passed through the head, or j whether the fourth shot entered in: the rear of the ear. the attending ; physician was,,unable to determine af- j ter making an examination. Mrs. Giles was still alive, and Dr. j W. G; Stevenson, who was called in. stated there was a slight chance for j her recovery. He was under the im- \ pression that the ball went completely through the head. "When the ball entered her head Mrs. Giles fell to the sidewalk and I Giles walked away, observed by sev eral who witnessed the affair, but no effort was made to (stop him, some: saying they did not care a tackle a \ man with a pistol, especially when | he was in a shooting mood. The po- ' lice were at once noiified. It was thought Giles made for a convenient , patch of woods in the outskirts of the city not far from the scene of the shooting.

No procedure was outlined for the gathering and this will be determined by the conference itself. No representatives of labor were in cluded in the personnel, nor will there be any representatives of, capital as such. Secretary of Labor Wilson headed the list, which includes three former cabinet officers and two form er federal officials, but the president did not appoint any of the men who served in the first conference. - CLEMENCEA?

High, and Died as a Soldier Would Wish to Die, ?Taraate Hykashi, familiarly known as Togo in the battalion, joined up at Vancouver. He was a bright, attrac tive little Japanese with, a beatific smile and some quaint knowledge of English. 'Most honorable coaselip tlon no catch me,' he told the recruit ing officer with a wide, disarming smile. "He put 'married' opposite the ques tion, 'married or tingle.', on the attes tation form, and favored the officer with a pictorial vjew of his family?a pretty almond-eyed girl and two doll like babies. He accepted the assurance that , they would be looked after by the Canadian government with beams of- delight. Then, squaring himself jjs if he were going to fight the whole German army, he strode away happi ly with a sergeant to the military de pot. "Togo became a Lewis gunner, the bust 'No. 1* in the unit. He developed a passion for the weapon that amount ed almost to idolatry, and during the traiulng days astonished the instruc tors, not infrequently, by scoring pos sibles on intricate landscape targets. 'Hun, feel peevishly when hoBoraMe Lewis talk with a full mouth,' he nsed to boast, and then proceeded to spray bullet* at an amazing' rate and with uncanny accuracy on Indicated posi tion?;?the make-believe of the ma chine-gun school.

His shattered arm moved towards it, as his spirit hov ered on the brink of the shadow, a ?miie lighted up the drawn face, 'Him have last good talk.
