The plant OF the defunct Savannah
Dailp Times, together with its good will
and every franchise of the United Press
Association, was sold at the court house yes
terday by Sheriff Roman to satisfy the bond
holders mortgages. Sam X. Platshek was
the purchaser, and the OUTFIT was knocked
down to him at 50, 500
Mr.. Platshek told MORNING NEWS re-
porter that he had purchased the property
for q syndicate made up partly from the
bondholders and few outsiders. The syn
dictate is undecided whether to hold the
plaut Tor speculative purposes or to start a
new afternoon paper. although Mr.. Plat
shek said the latter course will probably be
adopted. The syndicate will take steps at
ouce % have the partly burned building re-
paired. and il that is not done at once new

| The syndicate was formed at meeting Of
| the bondholders held at j. J. Dale's office
| shortly before the sale. Only minority of
| the bondholders were represented, and they
| formed the combine together with some
outsiders. 1t was agreed to bid as high as

surprised how cheap it could buy news

be sad news to the stockholders of the de-
funct paper.
There is estimated to be something like

oay-The Prices Keep Dropping.
The receipts Of cotton yesterday were
extraordinarily large-23, 307 bales at this
port and SS,603 at all the ports. Such re-
ceipts are knocking the bottom out of prices.
Liverpool and ether European ports are
loaded up with cotton and buyers are not
showing any eagernesS to buy. Last year
cotton growers held back their cotton on the
advice Of the alliance and they lost money.
This year they seem determined to get their
cotton to market as early as possible, fear
ing lower prices later on.
The sentiment among factors appears to
be that the farmers would act wisely by
helding lack their cotton this year, as prices
will likely be better later in the season. II
they continue to crowd the market there is
no telling how low prices will fall.
The receipts yesterday surpassed all pre-
vious records for Monday. The largest pre-.
vious days receipts was on the correspond
ing Monday last year, when they reached
ls,4S0 bales. Short crop reports ard re-
ports of frosts seem TO have little effect in

IT WASN'T A LETTER BOX.

An Alderman Takes a Fire Alarm Box
for One.
There is a good joke out on a well-known
First district alderman-one who has a
penchant for stables and was known in
council at a certain period as protector of
the time honored privileges of the festive
goat to have full license about the streets
and for which he received q handsome tss-
timonlnl.
Sunday afternoon he took friend out
for drive behind span Of splendid horses,
and when hs reached Bull and CASTOR
streets the alderman remembered that he
had letter in his pocket to post. Seeing a
box attached to a telegraph post he pulled
up his horses, jumped out and began looking
for the hole to shove his letter in.
81 wonder what kind of letter box this
is" said the alderman.
ut looks a little like q fire alarm box,
don't it ?" asked his friend.
Then the alderman took a glance at the
face of the box, into which no had been
trying to shove the letter, and be saw that
he had been monkeying with fire alarm
station No. &c.
With q disconsolate air and amid the
laughs Of several frieads who had watched
the performance. the alderman jumped in to
his buggy aud rode away.
