THE HOTEL ENrERPRIsE.
ztis Rapidly Assuming q Satisfactory
shape.

&t IL Rapidly Assuming Satisfactory
shape.
Within the last few days very consider
able progress has been made in getting the
affairs OF the hotel enterprise into shape.
Nearly all the shares of the Oglethorpe
Real Estate Company have been sub
scribed to the proposed new company. In
fact, less than bali a dozen now remain
TO be solicited. An exchange of proper
ties that will secure the Pavilion property
and Chatham Academy grounds for the
hotel, and the Oglethorpe Barracks prop
eTty for school purposes, may now be re-
garded as certain TO be c0nsummated at
an early day. This question OF exchange
being practically settled tremendously,
aud to the satisfaction Of all parties, the
greatest obstacle TO the hotel enterprise
may be said 10 be removed.
1t is also apparently settled that the
money necessary TO carry forward the en-.
terprlse to complete success will be raised
ny subscription and without bonds. This
arrangement, when carried out faithfully,
will insure the regular payments OF satis-
factory dividends. All subscriptions are,
by the terms printed on the subscription
BLANKS, made payable only on condition
Chat the amount necessary to build the
hotel is secured. IL those who present the
subscription lists during the present
week are met in a business-like way the
situation, with respect to the hotel enter
prise, Will, within very few days, be
even more satisfactory than ID is now,

A CONvICr's GRIEF.

Altar Serving Out q Years Sentence a
Thief Finds . Burglary Warrant
Awaiting Him.
Philip Yeomans, colored, has just ended
a twelve months sentence on the chain
gang for larceny. For a long while he
has been looking forward to to-day, think
ing that he would be out and could turn
over new leaf and go TO church. His
disappointment was naturally deep when
he was told a day or two ago that the
county could not let him go just yet.
When he was hrst arrested before his
trial a warrant was out tor him charging
him with burglarizing the Club House at
the ThunderbOlt race course.
Before Phillips term expired Magis-
trate Molina, who issued the warrant in
the burglary case, turned the papers over
TO the Solicitor General. and Yeomans, II
guilty, is in danger Of going back TO the
gang for another term. He is now held to
await trial.

LIVELY TIMES IN COTTON.
One of the Biggest Days Business Ev'
Known In New York.

One of the Biggest Days Business Ever
Known In New York.
The New York cotton market was in
particularly lively condition on Thurs
day. There were 10000 bales Of cotton
bought and sold-the heaviest transac-
tons ever known in a single day with one
exception. The course of the market was
upward, and the DAYS advance WAS IA
points. Even after the regular exchange
hours were over trading continued brisk
ly, and the highest prices Of the day were
freely paid, May cotton selling for $500.
and August deliveries at 5000.
There was only one failure reported,
Joseph A. Weldon, a young broker, was
compelled TO announce his inability to
meet engagements, having been caught
on the short side. His obligations were
not heavy, and the failure had no effect
on the market.
The rise in the market was q reaGtion
to the recent prolonged bear campaign,
during which the price OF cotton has been
put down since last November to the ex-
tent of 81 bale. II is said that the ex-
tremely low prices that have prevailed
lately, have induced dry goods people and
Wall street operators to 80 in and buy,
causing rise.

MORE COMPETITIONS COMING.
Two Additional Companies Entered for
the Prize Drill in May.

the Prize Drill I'm May.
Secretary A. Fl. MacdoDell, Of the Chat
hams, received a letter yesterday from the
Butler Rifles, Of Greenville, Ala, asking
to be entered for the drill. The Rifles are
one Of the crack drilled companies OF
Alabama, and at the Mobile drill sold very
high in the pools, and we're much feared
IN the contest. They are coming with
full drill team.
A letter was also received from the Fort
Gaines Rifles, OF Fort Gaines, Ca, stating
that they would be present ana partlei-
pate in the centennial.
The contract for building the fence,
grand stands, ETC., for the drill ground
mas been given out. The lumber Will be-
gin 70 arrive on the grounds during the
coming week, and the work OF erection
Will soon be commenced.
The securing of the United states
officers for judges has removed the last
obstacle in the way Of the perfect success
OF the drill, and will be received with
satisfaction by all companies interested.
IL is known that some Of the crack COM
panies have been holding back entries
until the judges were announced. pre-
ferring to risk results before an entirely
new set of judges. The next few weeks,
u 10 thought, will see several new com
panies come into line for the big drill IN
May.
Lieut.. Gresham is a Vlrginiau, Lieut..
Hoyle a Georgian. and Lieut.. Bachelor
lie North Carolinian, and all are noted
rs well for their social qualities as for
the excellent estimation in which they
are held in the army. Their ability as
officers is a guarantee of a successful and
drill, and any company that
wins prize in the coming contest will
have the satisfaction Of knowing that it
I'M every WaY deserves it.
