From the Rome CGa.) Tribune.

We congratulate cur highly esteemed
contemporary, the Savannah Morning
News on the celebration of its golden an
niversary.
On Monday the News rounded out halt
a century of it's existence The first is
she of the paper made its appearance on
Ion, a. 1850 The first editor was Col.
William T. Thompson, the author of those
amusing and delightful sketches, Maj.
.Jones' Courtship." He put the paper ON
y platform OF "a cheap, reliable and COM
prehensive newspaper" which ii has never
had to change. The history of the News
through the epidemics and the great ClVll
War is remarkable, for it has withstood
all and is to-day one of the Souh's best
and greatest newspapers.
The News has been constant in season
and out of season in working for the best
interests and development of Georgia. 1t is
ably edited, and is better newspaper IN
der Col. j. H. Estill, the present proprle-
tor. than It has ever been before. White
II Is a splendid newspaper every day IN
the week its Sunday ISSUE is the best
nublished, excepting a few in the larger
cities of the North. In brief, the News is
model newspaper, and a great credit to
southern journalism. May 1t flourish
through the next century and on to the
end of the world!

Savannah, jan 1S.-It looks very much

ing at present prices. For the past few
days a decided Improvement in spot sales
appears from the reports al the Cotton
Exchange, and the general opinion among
the trade is that it will not be many days
before daily transactions will be showing
up large, This is due to the fact that
spinners are readily taking cotton at pres
ent prices, which are the highest of the
season. As far as known, spinners intend
to continue taking cotton at quotations,
which may soon cause selling throughout
the South. Not only are spot sales show.

Improvement in f. o. b.. business, which
indicates that at least some holders of
cotton are satisfied with the present mar
ket. One broker said he sold 5000 bales
on Wednesday, and about 1900 to-day.
As spinners are in. the market for cotton

begin to let go at rapid rate.

be heavy liquidation, such as win depress

From tte NorfoIk Landmark.

Our excellent contemporary, the Savan-
nah Morning News, celebrated Monday
its fftieth birthday. That is goodly
age, to be sure; but the journalistic enter
prises of which the News is continual
ton. carry us back much farther. The
Savannah Republican. which was absorb
ed by the News, was founded in 1902;
while the Republican itself was the off
spring of the Georgia, Gazette, which first
saw the light in 1863 and twas one of the
eight colonial newspapers contemporary
with Benjamin Frankin's Pennsylvania
Gazette" Very modestly, however, the
News does not claim the accumulated age
of these two older papers. The Land
mark takes pleasure in extending its best
wishes TO the sprightly semi-centenarian
of Savannah The Morning News is one
of the very finest papers in the South.

EGYPTIAN COTTON RECEIVED.

Charleston, S. c.. Jan. 1S.-It is said that
Egyptian cotton has been imported in
small quantities by a certain wooden mill
in South Carolina for several years. bur
the first large shipment of the Egyptian
staple for a South Carolina cotton mill
was received al Clover, in York county,
last Tuesday from Alexandria via Bos-
ton. The new cotton mill at Clover will
use Egyptian cotton exclusively, its man
ayers claiming that the sea island staple
has not the strength and sickness" nee
essary for the superior yarn they are to
make.

COTTON LETTERS.

New York Jan. 1S.-Hubbard Bros. &
Co. say of cotton: Liverpool, after fight
ing the advance for so long has finally en-
tered the market as a buyer, taking the
holdings of Southern merchants at high
prices, and the contracts which have been
held here so long for outside account.
After the closing of that market trading
fell to small proportions, not because the
movement shows a large increase, but APP
parently through the disposition of out
siders to sell out their cotton. Whether
they will again become buyers is the prob
lem. So far the renewed activity in Liv-
erpool has neither checked their selling
nor induced them to become again inter-
ester in a bull campaign. This temper APP
pears to be due TO a growing feeling that
the speculation spirit of the country Is
tired. Receipts show an increase over
last week at Houston and New Orleans,
but not enough to cause the trade to look
for an increase in crop estimates. Euro
pean buying orders to be executed at the
close brought the rally of the afternoon.
The traders feel bulish, expecting Europe
will continue to absorb all the holdings
of outside spectators"
New York, Jan. 18.-Murphy e. Co. s
cotton letter says: Liverpool was very
encouraging to the bulls this morning.
They advanced spots 1-16 with sales of
1900 and futures were 2-64Q3-64d higher.
This caused a good opening here with
prices to points above yesterday 3

Ter than expected, and the estimates for
both New Orleans and Houston are larger

OUR FIFTIETH ANNIVERSARY.
Kind Words From Our Esteemed
Newspaper Contemporaries.


From the Charleston News and Courier
The Savannah Morning News was fifty
years old on Monday. Its present owner
and editor. Col. j. II. Estill has been con-
nected with it since 1867. 1t has outlived
all its competitors in the field of morn
ing Journalism. and "can lay just claim
to representing adequately this great mu-
nicipality to the outside world" The
Morning News celebrated its half century
birthday by printing a number of par
ticularly interesting articles of a reminis-
Genital sort, showing what progress has
been made in Savannah since the News
began to serve the people of that city
The growth OF the city has been remark
able but always "of the solid, substan-
tial character" Fifty years ago it had
a population of 1900; to-day it has near
ly five times that number" It's credit
is first rate, its merchants are full of en-
terprise, and its people believe firmly in
their town and its future. We wish them
sincerely all possible good fortune and
the fullest realization of their hopes and
prospects. They would be most I'M
grateful if they did not recognize the
splendid service which they have had
from the Morning News, one of the clean
est. ablest and most progressive daily
newspapers printed in the South. Its in
huence upon public sentiment at home,
the respect in which its views upon pub
Nc questions are held away from home, its
honesty. its unselhshness, its ready help in
every cause touching the life of its COM
munity, have made it great power for
good in Savannah. We congratulate our
cortemporary sincerely upon its good for
tunes II deserves all that can come TO

tentment.
