Nothing helped me. I expected to soon
die of consumption, when I heard of
Dr. King's Now Diecovery. One bottle

RAW COTTON.
We here print a recent report on this 60biect, taken from the Dry
Goods Economist:
"The cotton market scored another strong advance this week. Spot
cotton, which Inst week crossed the 8c line, rose to 8c in the New York
Exchange and parsed the 5d. Hi-it in Liverpool, the market for futures
fully participating in the upward movement. The cause of the advance is
the heavy purchases of cotton abroad, where, as already stated in these
reports, spinners are behind In their supplies.
How long these conditions will exist is, of course, uncertain, but is is
certain that the average under cotton will be vastly increased by the high
prices, and as time goes on this fact will receive more and more attention,
with the natural result.
PriceB range about as follows :
Spot cotton: New York, 8c; last week, 8)Cc; Liverpool, 5 1 32d :
last week, 4 21-32d.
March futures : New York, 8 30c; last week, 7.86 Liverpool, 4 51 -64d
last week, 4 20 64d.
The receipts for the first five days of this week were 142, 164 bales,
against 91, 035 bales for the corresponding period last week" The receipts
for the season amount to 4,955,741 bales, against 6,910,621 bales at the
same neriod last year. The visible supply of 3.634,052 bales, against
5.081.559 bales for the corresponding period lest week. Exports for the
first five days of the present week were 113,757 bales, againet 98,630 bales
for the corresponding period last year.

THE SOLDIERS
ARE AMAZED
Roberts Said to Have Violated the Ethics
of War in Forcing a Conquered
General to Appeal for Clemency.
New Youk, Feb. 28.- A special to the
World from Washington says: Conti
nental diplomats accept the defeat of
General Cronje iu grim eilence, but none
will consent to be quoted for any ex
pression except that the issue is what
might have been expected. One ol the
attaches whj has himself served as a
soldier, however, said :
"There is one aepect of the capitulation
of General Croi ja which is humiliating
to every soldier. There is a brotherhood
of chivalry which binds all professional
soldiers. General Cronje made a gallant
defense. At the cost of the utmost sec
riflce and pain lie stopped the victorious
Lord Roberts and held his ground until
Jits hard-pressed countrymen could form
for a final defense. The fact that Lord
Roberts and his Lieutenant, Lord Kitch
ener, compelled Cronjj to the bitter hu
miliation of piesenting himself at the
tent of his conqueror as a suppliant for
the miserable boon of unconditional sur
render is a requital of bravery not con
sistent with chivalrous conduct.
"Soldiers throughout the world will be
amazed. There was no possible excuse,
Tho fact that the British commanders
might have apprehended treachery is
flimsy. The British' were strong enough
to have rxecuted the army were any
violation of war committed. Cronje has
been a brave foe. He made no discrimi
nation between the wounded British and
his own people. The bitter humiliation
put upon liia- is a stain upon Christian
Knighthood. It Is without parallel.
"Contrast the conduct of Lord Roberts
aud Kitchsuer with that of the victorious
Schley aud Shatter. The utmost courtesy
was shown to the latter's overthrown
foes. Phillip's 'Don't cheer, men j they
are dying,' will stand in contrast to the
conduct of the Generals who compelled
a gallant foeman, who had battled
against tremendous odds, to come as a
humble suppliant even to the very doors
of their tents, to beg for his brave
soldiers that they might Ignouninlously
surrender. '

Escaping From Roberts.
New Yokk, Feb. 28. -The World
publishes the following statement by
General Miles :
"Cronje's surrender was expected and
it was all that could be expected wheu a
force of 4000 holds out for over a week
against a force of 50,000, You will ob
serve that the first reports said General
Cronje had a force of 9000 opposed to the
British, but only 4000 surrendered. What
became of the other 5000? The import
ance of the surrender under such cir
cumstances only illustrates the fighting
valor of tliii handful of Boer patriots.
The effect of Cronje's surrender will
be to strengthen rather than to weaken
the Boer patriots' cause iu this war.
"We cannot help but admire those
Boers, no matter where our sympathies
may be. In my position it would not be
diplomatic for mo to say too much, but
whoever is in the right, we must admire
the 4000 patriots who stood off for tea
days 50,000 of the British army."
