them. China has more men than all

and two edged swords they might

They will find out, however, that we

anything else could have done, the
absolute ignorance of that nation.

We fear that George B. Winship
will not be nominated for governor
by the republican party Of this state,
for the reason that the republican
managers Of North Dakota are an un-
grateful set of men. Mr., Winship
would make as good governor as
the state has ever had, but the fact
that HE would be TIE governor and
not controlled by the hoodlum ele
ment of the party is what will work
against his nomination.

COTTON BRINGING
HIGHEST PRICES.
Eleven Cents was Paid in Americas
Wednesday.
MARKET BOUNDING ON HIGHER.
Demand For Spots is Greater Than
Ever and no Telling Where Price
Will Go. Farmers Selling at Ad-
vance Another Jump.

Yesterday was full of surprises for
the cotton fraternity, and prophets
who predicted temporary slump
would have been without honor in then
own country and out of it as well.
Eleven cents is where booming prices
carried the staple here.
Think of IT; eleven cents nov, when
the most optimistic ''bull" never dared
hope for that figure earlier than Janu-
airy. But that's the price now.
Instead of declining, as predicted,
the contract market advanced full fifty
points yesterday and carried the price
of spots whirIing towards the top, if
there Is any top.
Some here believe that cotton is
cheap even at eleven cents.
They think it will be worth twelve
before the holidays, and even talk
about fifteen Genus next spring.
But it touched eleven cents in Amer
icus yesterday, the highest point reach
ed in many years, and the entire pop
ulace reioiced and made merry.
It is true that only few bales sold
at that topmost figure, the ruling price
being 104 to 10B, but three warehouses
reported sales at II cents while 1t was
said that one lot of very fine cotton
brought an eighth better,
And 1t will likely go considerably
higher this morning.
If Liverpool responds to New York's
advance of yesterday, eleven cents Will
be the prevailing price today while
fancy grades will probably bring the
eighth.
The first bale to be sold here yester-
day at II cents belonged to Matt Hart
and was bought by the Georgia Cotton
Company. The bale was raised by a
negro named Seay, on Harris farm.

down scare little bit? Nit,

THEY WISHED TO WE'D
AND FOUND A WAY.
Romantic Marriage of Interest in
Americas.
THE PRETTY GIRL IS PLUCKY
and When Her Sweetheart Wired
Her to Come She Went Forthwith.
Were Welded Near the Midnight
Hour in Albany.

When the Western Union Telegraph
Office here was opened yesterday
morning half dozen interested friends
of Miss Alma Taylor, of MarshaalVille,
and Mr.. jeff Montgomery, of Albany,
waited outside to learn the particulars
of their marriage in Albany on the
night previous.
And quickly the news that they were
married was flashed here.
The romantic marriage, and it was
one, to be sure, had it's inception in
Americas, hence the deep interest felt
here in the elimination of the court
ship.
Miss Taylor had been visiting friends
in Americas for two weeks and the
marriage was to have occurred here q
day or two ago, For some reason the
groom-prospective was detained in
Albany, where he is employed in the
Western Union office, and on Tuesday
night correspondence by wire result
ed, with explanations entirely salts
factory.
In the end Miss Taylor was urged to
come to Albany Immediately.
1t was then 9:45 p. m. and the train
for Albany left in fifteen minutes, But
did that make any difference? Not the
slightest; she was going; and go she
did.
A friend escorted her to the Central
depot while another hailed hack and
went post haste to the home where
Miss Taylor was stopping to secure
her baggage He made the schedule
all right, and with close connection at
the depot delivered the lady her grips.
That ended chapter second, with the
sequel for next morning.
Yesterday the wires flashed the mes
sage that Mr.. Montgomery had met
his afianced upon her arrival at AL
bany, and that the marriage rites were
solemnized thirty minutes before the
musical clang of the clocks tolled the
hour of midnight. Thus ended the
next chapter of this romance.
Mr.. Montgomery formerly resided
in Americus, holding a position as OPP
orator with the Western Union, and
is we'll known to many here.
