PUBLIC SCHOOLS OPEN MONDAY.
Session Gives Promise of Being Best
on Record.

The public schools of the city will be
opened tomorrow for the fall session,
and hundreds of school children will
bid adieu to vacation days and go back
to books. Nearly 600 pupils have reg
istered in the white schools already,
and the attendance will be increased
very largely later on when many alb
sentees return. The colored schools
will also show up remarkably well af-
ter q while, and within two or three
weeks the enrolment of pupils in all
the schools will probably exceed 1000.
Some delay in the work of the High
School may result from the fact that
the Board of Education has not yet
elected teacher IN that department,
but one may be chosen at the meeting
of the board tomorrow night. The
forthcoming session promises to be the
most prosperous in the history of
Americus' public school system.

AMERICUS HANDLED
COTTON YESTERDAY,
Receipts For Two Days Almost 1900
Bales.
GOOD PRICES, HAPPY FARMERS.
Nearly 800 Bales Handled at Ware
houses Saturday and as Many Fri
day. High Prices Brought Fine
Trade.

Sixteen hundred bales cotton re-
ceived direct at the city warehouses is
the record made by Americas within
the past two days-802 bales Friday
and nearly as many yesterday, swell
ling the total warehouse receipts for
the season considerably beyond the
1000 mark.
1t was record any market in Geor-
gia might be proud of,
Friday broke the record on heavy
receipts, though yesterdays score OF
772 bales was by no means trifing
when the lncIement weather is con-
sidered,
And rarely has Amerious witnessed
buster day, Heavy receipts, the
excellent price paid here for cotton re-
cently-as high as III cents-the dis
position of farmers to square accounts
and buy goods for himself and family,
conspired to give business a decided
boost.
And AmeIicus merchants we've ready
for the harvest of dollars.
They had the goods, plenty of them,
and the exchange of these for the coin
of the realm was quickly effected.
While trade had been good through
out the week yesterday was the banner
day, and in every line there was rush
OF bI1ainaas Tho oooIar weathar tend =
ed to improve conditions somewhat,
and winter goods were morein demand
yesterday than heretofore.
Cotton money was in evidence in
every store in Americus, and adver-
Using merchants had well filed tiIls
when the curtain of night descended
upon the busy scene.
It was banner day that will not be
forgotten in trade circles.
But there will be others like it, for
although the cotton crop is short the
increased price more than makes up
the deficiency in the number of bales
and puts Mr.. Farmer on deck with
money in his jeans after all debts are
paid. Its his money to spend.
And the Times Recorder hopes his
pockets will bulge as never before.
When he prospers all prosper; when
poverty is his portion the wheels OF
prosperity stop.

AMERICAS CITIZEN
GIVES EXPERIENCE,
GlOver's Narrow Escape From Death
at Galveston.
SIX HOURS IN MORTAL DREAD.
Perched Upon Desk in His Office he
Marked the Rapid Rise of Waters
and Calculated His Moments Upon
Earth, Fearful Situation.

Hon. w. A. Dodson received yester-
day letter from Mr.. w. Thad Glover,
his cousin, depicting graphically the
terrible scenes of a week ago when
Galveston was wrecked by hurricane
and thousands of lives lost. Mr..
Glover's friends in Americus, where he
was reared, rejoice greatly at his es
cape.
The letter refers principally to the
events of Saturday night last.
Mr.. GloVer's office was in the Cotton
Exchange, and with other occupants
he was imprisoned there during the
entire night by the surging waters
that covered the floor of the building
several feet.
While the storm ragged with terrific
fury the little groupe, huddled upon
the tops Of desks, eat in black darkness
while the angry waters continued to
rise about them. There was no es-
cape, and all through the long hours
of the night, their bodies submerged,
they calmly awaited death.
Mr.. Glover employed his time by
striking his knife in the wall near him
as means of measuring the rise of
the waters and mentally figuring upon
the number of hours ere death claimed
him.
Imagine, if you can, the absolute
horror of the situation.
The crew of wrecked steamer rowed
near the Office in boat, already over
loaded, but could render no assistance
to those imprisoned there.
Mr., Glover says that for six hours,
seemingly interminable, he expected
to die every moment. With the COM
ing of the dawn the rescue of the i'm
prisoned Office men was effected, and
thus were they snatched from the very
Jaws of horrible death. Few people
ever survive such an awful experience.
All of Saturday and that night Mr..
Glover was imprisoned in his office,
without food or water, though he did
did not lose heart until late IN the
night, as above related.
His description of the wrecked city,
with its mutilated dead piled in the
streets or floating about in the harbor,
is horrible in the extreme. These have
since been burned, buried or dumped
into the sea. Many thousands, he
says, are destitute and homeless. Mil
Iionaires were made mendicants by the
fearful storm.
In the residence portion of the city,
he says, not brick pillar remains to
mark the site of the once beautiful
and happy homes of Galveston's cit
Izens.

A Lite and Death Fight.

Mr.. w. A, Hines of Manchester, La.
writing of his almost miraculous escape
from death, says: Exposure after
measles induced serious lung trouble,
which ended in Consumption. / had
frequent hemorrhages and coughed night
and day. Ali my doctors said must
soon die. Then L began to use DR.. King s
New Discovery for Consumption, which
completely cured me. I would not be
without il even if it cost $500 bottle.
Hundreds have used it on my recon-
mendation and all say it never falls to
cure throat, chest and lung Troubles "

JUMPED ALMOST FIFTY POINTS.
Another Sudden Rise in the Market
Yesterday.

The season of bad weather through
out the cotton belt caused an advance
of nearly fifty points, or half cent, in
the contract market yesterday, which
closed strong in tone, thus indicating
further advance tomorrow. This
affected the price of spot cotton, and
prices ranged shade below the eleven
cent mark all day. Probably half the
cotton marketed yesterday was sold,
while not few farmers are going to
play long suit and hold until spring,
if necessary, for the still higher prices
in prospect.

ENTIRE BUILDING IS SECURED
For Display of Carpets. Rugs and
Large stock Trunks.

Mr.. George D. Wheatley, finding
that more room was required for the
storage and display of certain lines of
goods carried, has leased the large and
commodious Cocker building on Cotton
avenue, between the store of the Amer
icus Furniture and Undertaking Co.,
and the old Bank of Americus. Mr..
Wheatley will fit this store up nicely
and use it solely for carpets, rugs and
trunks. It is admirably adapted to
this purpose, and the removal of these
lines there will afford needed room for
other lines in his large store on the
corner.

9th. The fact that the populists have
a candidate for Governor in the field
this year will be news to many, and
while the general public is invited to
hear Mr.. Traylor upon this occasion
even the few farmers of his political
faith here will probably be too busy

much attention to political speeches
