GOOD PROGRESS ON BUILDING.
Colored Masons Will. Shortly Finish
Orphans Home.

The stately and handsome building
which the colored Masonic Grand
Lodge of Georgia is erecting in Amer
icus is rapidly nearing completion.
The site of the building, out north
Jackson street, is commanding one,
and when finished the building can be
seen from any part of the city. 1t is
designed as home for widows and
orphans of members of the colored
Masonic order, while an industrial
school for the children will be estab-
lished as well. Brickmasons are now
employed upon the third story, and the
building will be completed and made
ready for occupancy in the course of a
few weeks. It will cost probably $780,
900, and in future all annual meetings
of the Colored Masonic Grand Lodge
of Georgia will be held in its assembly
hall

THINKS BRYAN A SURE WINNER
Americas Man Carefully CanYasses
the Situation,

Col. r. i. Oliver returned to Amer
icus yesterday from New York. having
spent two months there and in the
East. Col. Oliver is a close observer
of affairs political. and after a careful
review of the situation there he is sat
isfied that Bryan is winner. Enthu-
siasm for the "Man of Destiny" grows
constantly, and Col Oliver feels con
fident that the Empire State will be
found safely in the Democratic column
in November. Col. Oliver spent some
time pleasantly at Atlantic City, where
he says even the ratio of fair femininity
to the sterner sex is 1G to 1, though he
still wears the diamond ring and Sc
rene smile of bacheloric contentment
noticeable npon his departure for the
north.

AMERICUs PAYS HIGHEST PRICE
This Market is Ahead of all Other In
terror Markets.

Americus is paying as much for cot
ton as any interior market in Georgia,
and an eighth to quarter cent more
than some of the nearby towns as
shown by their market reports pub
lished daily. But Americus has ever
had the reputation of being one of the
best cotton markets.
Yesterday Americas buyers paid %
to 81 cents for best grades of cotton.
The Macon papers announced yes
terday that cotton sold there the day
before at 0 cents. In the Americas
market it brought 81 cents easily.
A glance at the published market
reports of other interior towns shows
that Americus is leading the van.
Buyers here are hungry for cotton and
pay every penny for it they can This
is evidenced by the fact that the best
grades sold here yesterday for 81 cents
What other interior market paid %
for cotton yesterday August 22nd?
But even at this fancy price some
Few farmers are disposed to hold their
cotton. though it would seem the part
of wisdom to sell now. They want
more for it.
One farmer stored away eight bales
yesterday without having it sampled.
He says the crop in this section is cut
off fully one-half by the drought, and
believing that the market will be much
higher three or four months hence
he is going to cit down patiently and
hold his crop.
There will probably be a reaction
soon, but prices will undoubtedly go
higher long before the present short
crop is marketed.

CLOSE OF BASEBALL SEASON.

The National League closed its season
yesterday, when the last game OF the year
was played at st. Louis, and while there
were many disappointments and many
surprises, the career OF the St Louis club
has been the most disastrous In the Ma
tional League in years.
After spending thousands of dollars In
getting what the management considered
pennant winning teams they started the
season in an auspicious manner but soon
fell into a losing rut and even the advent
pf McGraw and Robinson, of whim so
much was expected. failed TO impede the
teams downward progress.
When McGraw was appointed manager
the team made a brilliant squirt. but soon
played itself out and fell into the old
rut, and all the undoubted ability Of the
pugnacious manager was not able to
bring il into the first division.

brainy men that Hanlon selected. was
able, early in the struggle 10 push into

1t was pointed out that If the Nationai
league men refused TO entertain the de-
mands OF the Protective association, the
players would probably join forces with

There is pretty sharp politics in the
move made by President Johnson. He
wants to extend the circuit of the Ameri-
pn league so that IL will take I'm four
cities in the east
The American league got a club into
Chicago last spring after hard fight
and made such a success of IL that John
son and Charles Comiskey, the old St
Louis manager. have been fired with am
bition 10 expand.
They also have shown an inclination
to turn their backs on the American
league.
For this reason. possibly. Johnson has
made deal with the Protective associa-
tion which will he used as club to force
the National association men TO recog-
nize the American league and thus form
one circuit with east and west branches

been pronounced just and fair by Presi-
dent Johnson.
