William c. Allen said there were forty-five
employees in the building at the time. but # was
his belief that all of them, with the possible
exception Of one girl, made their escape. Fif
teen of this number he said were girls. The
others were men and boys employed on the vari-

number Of working girls were employed in the
factory Of NJ J. Breitenbach & Co. who occu-
pied the second floor Of the building as place
where they manufactured uedicated chewing
gum. It was the impression of Mr.. Allen that
everybody on this floor got out safely He said
that there was fully ten minutes between the
time Of the breaking out Of the fire and the
great explosion. Mr.. Allen also knew that there
were forty or fifty hands employed in the brush

TEACHERS TO CONTEST AGAIN.
Average Made in Last Examination
Not Sufficient.

The several applicants for the posi-
ton of principal of Furlow High
School must stand another examina-
ton in order to win. At an examina-
ton held a month ago there were half
dozen entries, though only three staid
in to finish. The Board of Educa-
ton held meeting a week ago to
choose between these applicants, but
it resulted in no election. Another
meeting was held Thursday night,
when it was determined that another
examination must be had inasmuch as
only one of these applicants recently
examined had made the desired ave-
rage. This second examination is or
dered for next Thursday, and there
may be several other applicants de-
spite the fact that it is late in the sea-
son and the teachers as rule have
made arrangements for the school
year.

IN SPITE OF SLUMP.
Americas Buyers Again Paid This
For Cotton.
HEAVY SLUMP AT THE CLOSE.
Rapid Advance in Cotton Received
Check and Predicted Reaction Came.
Fell Quarter of Cent at Opening
and Rallied.

The phenomenal advance in the price
of cotton received a sudden check yes
terday morning. brought about by
sharp declines both in New York and
Liverpool. This was reasonably ex-
pected after such furry, though the
downturn yesterday was not consider
able on the whole.
The market tumbled thirty points on
the first round at O'Clock.
Then came rally of ten or twelve
points and another decline, with net
loss of twenty to twenty-five points in
the far months for the day.
This affected spot cotton, of course,
and while it was hard to maintain the
very high level of the day before
Americus warehousemen sold the
greater part of their offerings yester-
day at ten cents. It was struggle,
though, and only the better grades
brought that high price.
Sales at shade below this were quite
numerous. however.
The report that the Manchester
spinners had agreed to shut down all
of the great mills there for a month
had it's effect upon the markets over
here.
Americus cotton men look for fur
ther slight decline today on the weak
ness exhibited yesterday at the close.
They think, however, that this will be
temporary and hope for stronger
market next week. There is a strong
demand for cotton despite the severe
fluctuations yesterday.
The monthly bureau report Monday
may have a decided effect on prices.

BOOK OPENED FOR INSPECTION,
As List of Jurors Will Not Be Pub
lished,

The average citizen of town or coun-
ty desiring to find out whether or not
his name has been left ont of the jury
box can satisfy his curiosity by calling
at Clerk Aliens Office at the temple.
The chances are SIX to half dozen that
his name was left off, as hundreds were
omitted at the recent revision. Several
disappointed ones called yesterday to
examine the book containing the names
of the elect and anointed. It is said
that the county commissioners have
about decided not to haYe the list pub
lished, though any voter can easily find
out his status by calling at the clerks
Office. Many feel deeply aggrieved
that their names were left out of the
jury box, while others think it relief
from the performance of an unpleasant
duty.

AMERICUs PAID HIGHEST PRICE

ing For Cotton.

Leads Half Dozen Markets in Pay
ing For Cotton.
It is a we'll established fact that
Americas pays more for cotton than is
paid in some of the larger interior
markets.
And she has done this eyer since the
season opened.
The published market reports in a
half dozen cities in this part of the
state is ample proof of this statement.
For instance.
Macon paid 81 for the best grade OF
cotton on Thursday, 9th inst.
Our good neighbor, Albany, accord
ing to the Herald, paid 81 cents.
While Americas paid ten cents for
hundreds of feecy bales.
Rome, which receives hundred
thousand bales, paid only 81 cents for
good middling cotton Wednesday,
when Americas paid 81 cents.
According to her published market
report, Columbus paid 81 cents for
good middling cotton Thursday when
we paid 10 cents.
Dawson paid ten cents for good mid
ding Thursday and yesterday.
Ellavilie, where roundlap cotton
press is operated, paid fraction better
than ten cents, it is said, for the best
cotton.
Among all the others Americus held
her own and better.
Throughout the season Americas
buyers haYe paid from an eighth to a
quarter cent more for cotton than Ma
con buyers.
A strange fact, it is true, but fact
nevertheless.

telegram Yesterday from Northumber-
