OVER 900 BALES
CAME BY WAGON.
Saturday Was Another Record Break
er Here.
RECEIPTS OF SEASON.
Americas Warehouses Received SOB
Good Bales Yesterday, Beating Pre-
vious best Day rs Bales. Cotton
Made Business Fairly Hum

Yesterday proved record breaker
from the standpoint of King Cotton,
and the hoary old monarch held high
carnival in the streets of his favorite
capital as he rode in with stately grace
from the country and drew up at the
warehouse, where his many courtiers
received HIM.
And the reception was most cordial,
as might be supposed.
Receipts went over the nine hundred
mark just little and beat the previous
''best day" by IS bales. And, be it
remembered, all of this was wagon cot
ton from the country.
It does not include compress ship
ments Yesterday, nor does the daily
report published in the Tlmes-Recorder
include any direct shipments to the
compress which, were they obtainable,
and counted each day, would probably
give Americas a grand total of $4,000
bales already.
Nothing but wagon cotton brought
to the warehouses here is counted.
The greater portion of the 903 bales
brought here yesterday were sold al
prices ranging from 81 to 10cts, and
something like $45.0 900 was thus turned
into channels of trade,
And it was a great day for Americas
merchants. Several of them told the
Times Recorder that they had rarely
had buster day. There were hun
dreds of people here to trade, they hac
the money, and business went with
rush scarcely equalled any day this
year.
Great is King Cotton, our gracious
monarch, as he moves with ten cen
stride.

SEPTEMBER HEAT rs SIZZLING.
Weather Hottest In Many Years For
The Season.

Americus people are still on sum-
mer basis, despite the fact that October
is at hand. The "oldest inhabitant, "
who by the way could have given
Ananias pointers in making a reputa-
tion, declares that September, which
ends with today, broke all records
from hot weather standpoint, but be
that as it may it still remains exasper-
atingly hot. The shirtsleeve brigade
is still intact and the early fall oyster
is unloved, unhonored and unsung,
besides being uneaten. The Americas
small boy still inhab1ts Muckalee
creek, while the soda water maiden in
white lawn is much in evidence. The
picnicker still goeth to Holly Springs
and the redbug nips him quite merrily.
It is hot, blisteringly hot; and the dis
penser of ice cream and lemonade still
has the call on the compounder oil
cocktails and hot Scotch. What
Americas really needs as conducive to
comfort is composition of snowstorm,
blizzard, rain, hail and iceberg, cut
up into blocks and applied externally
every half hour.

VOTERS OF SUMTER
COMING TO POLLS
Large Vote Will Be Polled Here On
Wednesday.
A COUNTY AND STATE ELECTION.
Should Bring Out the Full Democratic
Vote of the County.-All officers
From Governor to Coroner Will Be
Elected.-No Opposition Here.

The fact that none of the Democratic
nominees in Sumter have opposition
should not prevent the polling of
full vote on Wednesday next, Oct. 3rd.
when all officers. state and county,
will be elected, and The Times-Re-
corder hopes to see the full strength of
/, 600 or !, 800 votes polled.
1t is an obligation due the party that
will be paid in full,
Every Office from that of governor
to coroner will be filled, including
county officers, members of the legis-
Iature, judges, solicitors. prison COM
missioners and others as well.
1t is true that farmers and merchants
alike are very busy now, but they
should take tune to go to the polls
next Wednesday and vote. Sumter is
one of the banner counties of Georgia,
and she must maintain her reputation
now IN an effort to poll the full regis
tered vote.
The moral effect of big vote in
Georgia upon the country at large will
be very great, as democrats in doubtful
states will look anxiouslY for the re-
suit in this state on Wednesday.
Help them, as we would have them
help us If matters were reversed.
The polls will be opened at the coun-
ty courthouse from a. m. to 6 p. m.
There is total of perhaps 1900 regis
tered votes here, and 1,700 of these
should be cast for the nominees, This
can be done with little effort. Vote
yourself and see that your democratic
neighbor does also.
Let Sumter roll up an old time dem
ocratic vote for the straight ticket,
