PUMPING ONE MILLION GALLONS
Great Consumption of Water During
Hot Weather,

Americas consumes vast quantity
of water, which has been increased
considerably during the torrid weather
of the past ten days. Supt. Ansley
said yesterday that sometimes as much
as a million gallons per day was
pumped through the mains, the aver
age daily consumption being from
800, 600 to 100000 gallons. A great
deal of this is used for street and lawn
sprinkling, and while there is no sign
of diminution in the supply of water,
consumers should exercise care and
not waste it. The weather is still in
tensely hot, and unless it rains soon
the supply may be diminished. En-
gineer Nix has the pumping station in
excellent condition, and just now the
city has all the pure artesian water
wanted.

BROUGHT NINE AND A QUARTER.
Another Advance in Cotton Market
Monday.

Nine and quarter cents was paid for
cotton in Americas yesterday; not for
one bale but for all the best grades on
the market.
An advance of fifteen points in con-
tracts caused the Jump.
And just now it really seems that
much higher prices may be expected,
though the prudent farmer is not
going to miss good thing by re-
fusing nine cents now.
1t is so much more than he expected
when the crop was planted. However,
he is to be congratulated npon the
present price of cotton.
1t is indeed long lane that has no
turning point.
The drought is simply playing havoc
with the crop and the yield will be
largely curtailed. In fact, no one
would be surprised to see the market
soon reach ten cents.
Everything depends upon the con-
tinuation of the burning drought.
Probably forty bales were received
here yesterday and, as stated, prices
ranged from 9 to 8 IA cents. There
are several buyers in the field and the
demand is good.

GIVING WARNING TO EMPLOYEES
Those Who Will not Pay Debts Will

The Seaboard Air Line Railway is
sued recently circular relative to the

diately upon receipt of notice the pay
master will advise the division super
intendents of the facts of the case, and
division superintendent will make
record of the same, and if it appears
that the wages of the said employe
have been at any time heretofore gar
nisheed, then the superintendent shall
at once discharge said employee from
the service of the company.
Neither can employees give orders
upon the paymaster for amounts due or
to become due. The circular SAYS
further:
'"The practice of employees giving
orders upon the paymastersfo for amounts
due or to become due is prohibited,
and if any such order is at any time
hereafter given, the paymaster is here
by prohibited from accepting or pay
ing the same; that he shalt at once no.

vision superintendent are enjoined to

necessary to an efficient service, and
the company cannot continue in its

successful operation of the paymaster's
department by failure to meet their

These circulars have been posted in
Americas and at other points along the
line for information of employees.

KILLING DOVES BY HUNDREDS.
Great Slaughter at Roost North of
Americas.

Americas sportsmen are having a
great time with the doves since the
season opened a week ago. There is a
roosting place two miles above the city
where the doves come by hundreds
late in the afternoon. A day or two
ago a party of local sportsmen took
stands near the roost and killed more
than three hundred of the birds as they
came in toward nightfall. They are
plentiful this season, and dove pies
can be seen on many dinner tables here
just now.
