AMERICUs SHIPS BEST COTTON
Manchester Spinners Think it Excels
Other Grades.

Cotton exports from Americas and
vicinity have a very favorable reputa-
ton among foreign spinners, who pre-
fer it to cottons shipped from other
portions of the belt. A prominent
Manchester manufacturer is quoted as
having said few days ago that cotton
bought by his mills from Americas and
vicinity was far superior to Texas cot
ton in staple and quality. During the
present season his mills consumed ten
thousand bales of Americas cotton
and, therefore, he was in position to
speak adyisedIy upon this subject
Wherever Georgia cotton is consumed
that grown in this immediate section
has an established reputation among
spinners.

Cold Steel or Death.

"There is but one small chance to
save you life and that is through an
operation, was the awful prospect set
before Mrs. L B, Hunt, of Lime Ridge,
Wis, by her doctor after vainly trying
to cure her of frightful case of stom-
ach trouble and yellow jaundice. He
didn't count on the marvellous powers
of Electric Bitters to cure stomach and
Liver troubles, but she heard of it,
took seven bottles, was wholly cured,
avoided surgeons knife, now weighs
more and feels better than ever. It's
positively guaranteed to cure S tomach
Liver and Kidney troubles and never
disappoints. Price soc at E. J. Ed
ridge drugs store.

CARRIED OFF HOUSE NUMBERS.
Negroes Wish to Retain The Original
Figures.

Not little annoyance is caused
mail carriers in Americas by dispo-
sition upon the part of some negroes
to retain their house numbers, even
when they move from place to place,
as they do frequently. Strange as it
may seem, a negro family removing
from All Jones street to 720 Smith,
will carry along the lettered number
and stick it over the door of their new
place of residence, with the result that
some houses in town have no numbers
at all while others have three or four.
They learn the house number once
and in moving think it right to carry
it away, to the confusion of the man
who dishes out the daily mails.

FEARFUL HEAT CONTINUES ON
Yesterday One of Warmest of Entire
Summer.

Just what has become of Americus'
weather bureaui is an unsolved problem
that interests one but little. A greater
problem is the torrid weather, and
whether it varies one or two degrees
makes little difference to the average
sufferer when the mercury is ranging
high Ill the n1neties.
And that is where it went yesterday
and staid, No one knew or cared
whether it registered 90 or 80; all
agreed that it registered enough.
The shot wave" has remained for
four days now. OF course it was ex-
tremely warm before this period, but
since last Saturday the heat appears to
be very much more oppressive. To
get cool is out of the question.
Drinks do no good; the more one
drinks the more uncomfortable.
But Americus folks have their own
opinion upon this point, and the sew
eral drugstores where cooling drinks
are dispensed, as well as other places
selling ''soft'' drinks, are literally
patronized. Some of these latter places
have done land Office business re-
Gently.
At the drugstores full half the pat
ronage of the soda founts come from
thirsty ones of the male element.
There is such variety of these
drinks that it would be impossible to
enumerate them all but there are few
well known favorites which monopo-
lie the attention of the crowd. Coca
Cola easily heads the list. After this
come sherry freezes, the phosphates,
chiefly lemon and orange.
Still there are people who stick to
plain whiskey, They contend that it
is the safest drink, and used with
moderation the user is less liable to
feel the effects, either of the drink or
the heat. Whether it is wise to get
outside of so many drinks, soft or the
oSher kind, on hot day is a question
hard to determine. With such wealth
er as prevails liquids consumed are
distilled very shortly through the pores
of the skin and the more one drinks
the more one perspires. The tempta-
ton to drink is irresistible, and as per-
SEPARATION is healthy, it is doubtless
all right.

THINK COTTON IS RUINED NOW.
Farmers Say a Rain Would do But
Little Good.

Given should it rain now, and there
is no prospect of it, cotton is too far
gone to be very materially benefited,
and the result would be only the injury
of open cotton"
Such was the opinion expressed by q
practical farmer yesterday.
He thinks the drought, now of near
~ months duration, has already in
jured the plant beyond recovery,
However, he may be wrong.
But it cannot be denied that the crop
here is terribly burned and badly in
iured, and while rain might be bene-
fetal the prospect is by no means
favorable.
In the meantime. as result of the
drought, the market goes higher
There was gain of dozen points in
contracts yesterday.

HEAT BREwED FOUR ROSTERS.
Chickens are Matched in a Grocery by
Intense Heat

The most remarkable story yet told
of the pranks of old Sol was that re-
lated yesterday by James Russell, the
we'll known colored merchant and res
taurateur. A case of eggs shipped
here recently from nearby town
showued strong signs of animation,
and when the proprietor gave it care
fuI examination he was surprised to
find that several of the eggs had
Matched and the little chicks were
chIrping for food. What troubles
Russell just now is the question
whether he owes the shipper for con-
signment of chickens or case of eggs.

SHE FRIGHTENED THE BURGLAR
And He Escaped Without Making
His Haul.

The police were called upon yester
day morning to investigate an attempt
ed burglary at the residence of Mr.
Ed Littleton on Church street. During
the night one of the ladies heard 6
noise in her room, and thinking it one
of the family called her by name. Al
this the intruder dashed for the open
door, knocking over a chair in his
fight. The police found tracks IN the
yard but nothing to indicate the identi
ty of the burglar.

FATAL FALL FROM A TREE.
Joseph Noel Accidentally Killed This
Morning.

Morning.
Joseph Noel fifty years old, whose home
was at 1876 Twenty-first Street northwest
met instant death about 1918 o'clock this
morning as the result of fall from a tree
in front of 1925 Twenty-fourth Street
northwest. Coroner hewitt. was notified of
the death ard ordered the body removed
to the morgue, pending an investigation
An inquest is not considered likely as the
affair is reported to have been accidental
Noel was in the employ of Samuel Nc
Monigle of 1902 New Hampshire Avenue
northwest. having been engaged to trim
the tree from which he fell. He found it
necessary to cut off a large limb. Before
doing SO he tied one end OF rope to the
limb and then fastened the other end of
the rope TO limb higher up in the tree
This vas to prevent the limb falling when
cut. After the limb had been cut
through and just as Noel was preparing to
lower it, it swung around and striking
him knocked him to the ground Witness
es of the accident went TO the assistance
of Noel and a physician was summoned.
An examination revealed that life was ex-
tinct and that death had been instantane-
Gus.
