A HOUSE BURaLARIzED.

Thieves Enter the Residence of Mr..
Geo. williams and Make a Haul.
While MIR. and Mrs. Geo. Williams were
away from their home on Henry street
night before last attending choir practice
at the Wesley Monumental church, their
home was broken open by thieves, and
the contents of the house scattered around
and turned upside down generally.
The thieves were evidently after valua-
bles only, as all they took was the jewelry
and silver that they found and few
dollars in money which had been left in
Mr.. Williams room.
The robbery must have been committed
between O'Clock and 10 o'clock, as the
only time they were out of the house was
between those hours. The police have
been informed of the burglary, but there
is no clew to the guilty parties.

Gilmore Horton, a 12-year-old lad, left
home Saturday afternoon. telling his
father, MIR. S. D. Horton, that he was
going out hunting with some other boys.
The boy did not return Saturday night

The other boys had not gone with his son

the unexplainable absence of his son.
The missing boy had no cause to leave
home for any length of time, His rela-
tions with the family were
pleasant and his home sur

The mystery that surrounds the case
Is difficult to clear. The shooting

Mr.. Horton, the father. is Central rail-
road policeman and lives at No. IL Tay-
lor street. Up TO late hour yesterday

and Mai. WILLY addressed the meeting,
showing the value of the military COM

business men and property-holders Of the
community.
Col. Gordon related the plan
he had pursued to strengthen

now they might be advantageously pur-
sued by the Dragons.
Inc meeting was very enthusiastic
one, and resulted in the addition of anum-

Under the new military law providing
Tor the organization of regiments on the
battalion basis the Fifth Georgia cavalry
IS entitled to three majors, the
regiments being composed of nine
companies which will be divided
into three battalions. The regiment now
has only two majors, and as each bat

the election of another major necessary.
Col: Gordon will shortly call the officers
OF the regiment together for the election
of the new officer.
Col. Gordon will also announce the di-
vision of the companies of the regiment
into two battalions shortly, the only bat

AT THE THEATER,
CLARA Morris to Present Renee de
Moray" Tonight.

Moray" Tonight.
The appearance Of Clara Morris at the
theater tonight is an event in theatrical
affairs at once notable and attractive:
Miss Morris is unquestionably great
actress. In the peculiar lines of dramatic
characterization which she assays, she
has, probably, no equal on the English
speaking stage. Unlike the many favor
ties of the day, her success has been won
by inherent genius, combined with years
of study and observation. She has the
faculty of entering into the character
portrayed so completely that her realism
seldom fails to command the tribute of
tears. There is no shamming in her act
ing, no stimulation of feeling. Her tears
are as genuine as ever fell from the eyes
of woman. 1t is this that so endears
her to women, and her audiences are
always largely make up of her own sex.
On the occasion of Ills visit Miss Nor
ris will give her celebrated portrayal of
"Renee de Moray" a character in which
she is famous. A splendid company sur
rounds her, and most interesting per-
Torrance is assured.

BLAZE IN A P1cKERY.
Floyd & Co. Sustain a Several Hun
bred Dollars Loss.


The cotton pickery of Floyd & Co., on
West Boundary street, near the Ogeechee
canal, was discovered on fire shortly be-
fore O'Clock yesterday. An alarm was
turned in from Box No. 50, across the
canal, by Officer Sweeny of the Central
railroad police,
When the fremen reached the place
they found the yard Of the pickery filed
with a heavy sutfocating smoke. This
MADE their work difficult, as there was
no blaze, and all they could do was TO
plunge blindly into the smoke and begin
playing where il seemed thickest. After
half an hours work the smoke was dis
PEELED, except at the northeast corner of
the building, where the fire appeared to
have started. The drying apparatus was
in this corner and it was supposed that
the fire had smoldered there for hours be-
fore the smoke became sufficient to at
tract attention. In fact the negroes liv-
ing in the neigh borhod of the pickery de-
clared that they had smelled the smoke
all night.
The fremen had little difficulty in ex-
tinguishing the fire. The exact damage
could not be ascertained. About twenty
bales of cotton were being handled at the
time, all of which were damaged by
fire and water. The loss on this will
amount to several hundred dollars
besides the damage to the pickery The
injury to the building is small, being
simply to the tin roof Both the Messrs.
Floyd are out of the city, one of them be-
ing in Memphis, where the firm has re-
Gently made a purchase of large amount
of damaged cotton.
The cotton which was being handled at
the pickery at the time was that damaged
in the fire of Elannery & Co.'s warehouse
a month ago 1t is possible that spark
which had been smoldering in the cotton
for a month, caused yesterdays fire. Cot
ton that has once been afire is liable to
break out again at any time, but it is
more likely that match dropped by some
workman caused Yesterdays fire.

Beau Brummel1 Next. %

Richard Mansfeld's presentation of
"Beau Brummell" Wednesday night viii
hardly fail to be a notable one. Mr..
Mansfield's impersonation is a creation in
the highest sense. He has had no prede-
cessor; no one to even suggest a thought;
not even a tradition to build upon, but
with luminous clearness he has brought
into existence a wonderfully clear-cut
character. The polished man of society
and the hero of romance are curiously
blended in Brummell. with his thorough
self-poise, polished GOODNESS, mistaken
self-possession, biting sarcasm and colos-
sal impudence. In the pathetic climax of
the play MIR. Mansfield is exquisitely
touching.
Brummell is depicted with his mind fail
ing, in abject poverty; as with his mind
wandering he lives over again the SPLEEN
dor of his time Of prosperity. Self-con-
tanned, ceremonial, elegant, courtly, mag
niicent as if still a dispenser of prodigal
hospitality, and yet, through it all,
pathetic, with profound and heart-breals-
ing pathos not readily described in words.

Good For the Wavoross Mem

Col. w. w. Gordon speaks very highly
of the efficiency and discipline exhibited
by the Waycross Rifles who served with
two dismounted cavalry troops under his
command at Folkston last week. He was
both surprised and gratifed at the fine
condition in which he found the company,
and was much pleased with the ready
performance of the duties assigned it.
He found the Waycross boys to be good
campaigners. They can not only put up
good showing on drill, but have every
thing at hand necessary for weeks
campaign should they be ordered out for
that length of time. Capt. Farr has his
men well in hand, and the discipline of
the company is of the very best.

TO co OVER A MILLION.
SaVannah'S Cotton Receipts So Far
17O,O65 Bales Ahead Of Last Year.

The Receipts UP To Date S16,617
Bales-26, 900 Bales Ahead Of the
Total Receipts for Last Season-The
Exports This Year Largely In Ex-
cess of Those of the Big Nine Mil
lion Crop Season.
The increase in cotton at Savannah con-
tinues unusually large and is already
greater than any previous year. The net
receipts from the beginning of the season,
Sept. 1, 1898, to date are 815,617 bales
against 645, 552 for the same period last
season, showing an increase for this year
of 40, O65 bales.
From the indications, there is pros
pect of the seasons receipts at Savannah
being over a million bales There is every
reason to believe this, for comparing the
movement with that of 1922, the larg-
est crop year ever known, the receipts
up to date have increased over $4,000
! bales. The receipts are already about
| "a, 600 bales in excess of the movement at
this port during the entire season of
1929, and with the exception of New
Orleans is larger than at any other At
lantic port.
SAVANNAH HOLDS ITS OWN.
Notwithstanding the differential rates.
which have influenced the movement, the
merchants of the city have succeeded in
upholding the advantages of the port, and
by the immense transactions have shown
the Importance of the leading city of the
southeast.
The exports during the last five months
have been 747,75 bales against 567, 007
bales for the same period last year, and
738, 297 bales in the big nine million crop
season Of 1912 The exports to foreign
countries during this season have been as
| follows: Great Britain, 1866 bales !;
France, 80, 697 bales; the continent, 275, 1863
| bales, making a total of Ala ,755 bales.
The coastwise shipments during the same
time have been 1890 bales, of which
268, 979 were shipped by steamers to New
York, Boston, Philadelphia and Balti-
more. The increase in exports this year
as compared with the same period last
year are lSO,75l bales.
THE DIRECT EXPORTS.
To show the importance of Savannah
and the amount of direct foreign business
transacted since Sept. l, 1898, the follow
| ing list of South Atlantic ports, with the
amount of exports from each point, is
given: New Orleans exported 1,OI3,166
| bales; Galveston, 630,0l9 bales; Savan-
nah, 414,755 bales; Charleston, 249, 219
bales; Wilmington, 145, 1913 bales; Norfolk,
| 12l PA bales; West Point, II, 732 bales !;
915 bales Mobile, 7,24S bales, and New
| port News, q, 4S0 bales. 1t will be seen
that Savannah is third in the list of lead
| ing ports and greatly in excess of all

THE DIRECT EXPORTS.
THE SUPPLY OF COTTON.
Bradstreet's Review OF the Situation
and Reflections on the Movement.


and Reflections on the Movement.
The following interesting review of the
present cotton crop is published in Brad
streets of Saturday:
Cotton has been weak and lower owing
to the large crop movement since last
Saturday, and most of the advance in
price in the previous two weeks has been
lost by the pressure Of heavy port receipts
this week. AS a result of this the market
is again plunged into uncertainty as to the
ultimate yield, and advocates oflarge crop
estimates have become emboldened to re-
iterate previously expressed views of the
outturn.
1.-THE total amount of crop in sight Jan.
II, was 5,737, 900 bales, an excess of 715,-
900 bales over last year, when the total
crop aggregated $500, 900. At the date
named last year there was almost exactly
rs per cent. of the cotton crop of that sea-
son in sight. If the same quantity remains
to come in sight this year as after this
date last year the total crop will aggregate
in the neighborhood of z AIS, 900 bales. To
realize estimates of 100000 bales as IA
minimum, therefore, heavy increase over
last years movement from now on will be
necessary. On the other hand, to Justify
smaller the crop estimates, such as $780,
900 to 6,S00,000 bales, heavy falling off
in movement from last years figures is
imperative. For instance, a movement
only so per cent. Of that last year from
now on would result in crop of 6,575, 900
bales, while movement equal to three
quarters of last years from now on would
yield almost exactly 100000 bales The
following table of crop movement for the
past three years from Sept. to Jan. 10,
as made up by Secretary Hester of the
New Orleans exchange, will be found of
interest in this connection.
