HOW AmERICUs PAYS TRIBUTE.
Vast Sum That Goes Out Annually
For War Taxes

Have you any idea of the amount
Americus pays annually into the fed
eral treasury as special taxes resulting
from the slate unpleasantness" with
our friends, the Dons?
Think a thousand dollars might per-
haps cover it, don't you?
Well it will not; and neither will ten
Thousand or even good hundred thou
sand dollars cover it, for that matter.
Phew! think of that amount of
money going for special taxes only.
BUTT is three times 800, 900 in round
figures, according to the statement
of one of the leading wholesale mer-
chants here, whose house alone pays
something like $25, 200.
He expresses the belief, after care
full calculation, that the city of Ameri-
Gus alone pays 100000 IN special war
taxes.
Enough to buy a couple of dozen is
lands in the Philippine archipelago.
This amount ne says, includes all
special revenue taxes, and the list is as
long as the moral law. In fact, every
thing is taxed nowadays and the peo-
pie paYsfor it.
Every man who chews tobacco pays
Uncle Sam seven cents more per
pound for the privilege than he did
hafora We wanr forth To thrash Snain
That's just one item; there are 9TH
ers-some ten thousand or so.
And the end is notln sight by good
deal. While Americas people pay
100000 a year the amount comes in
such dribIets, cent or two at time,
that we don't miss it.
But as long as the wrestle with
Aguinaldo continues we must pay for
the music, whether we may like the
sport or not.

IT DROPS UNDER NINE CENTS.
Slowly The Cotton Market Sinks.
Point BY Point.

The fully expected" happened yes
terday morning when the price of con
tract cotton dropped under the nine
cent notch after the very vigorous ham
mering given it recently.
1t was the lowest point reached since
early in September, or nearly two
months, after having held up we'll dur
ing the season.
Bear hammering and enormous port
, receipts did the work well.
The foreign cables brought news
early of slump beyond the pond, and
New York followed the lead though not
nearly to the extent expected upon the
opening.
But early in the day the several fa-
vorite positions eased down point by
point, January falling to 500 but raj
lying slightly at the close.
In the meanwhile port receipts con-
tinue to pile up as high as ever; there
is little expectation of an early frost,
and the belief here is that prices will
go lower still.
But 1t will be temporary only, IS the
turning point must come soon.
If receipts at Americus warehouse 8
indicated anything that time would be
fast coming. Only 119 bales were
marketed yesterday and but few of
these were sold.
The price, locally, has dropped to
81 cents for the best cotton.
The stock here unsold is not large
possibly 5000 or $500 baIes-and farm
ers appear determined to swing on a
while longer.
They, like others, realize that con-
ditions do not warrant such a slump in
prices. They know the general crop
/ is short and that values will eventual
~ go much higher.
And they will possess their souls in
patience while the squeeze continues,

STEVENS OPINION
CONCERNING CROP
Georgia's Commissioner of Agricul-
ture Says It is Short.
YIELD OFF FULLY ONE FOURTH.
de Says Present Bear Squeeze is I'm
Justifable. No Cotton Held Back
on Farms and Top Crop Will
Amornt to But Little.

Atlanta, Oct. 90. Commissioner OF
Agriculture Stephens. who is in con-
slant communication with planters in
every section of the state, said today
that from the best lnfor nation obtain
able by his department., there are three
very pertinent points in connection
with the cotton growing industry IN
Georgia.
First, the crop in this state will be
fully one fourth less than last year.
Second. There is no top crop worth
speaking of, and little or no cotton
either in the gins or warehouses,
Third. There is grave danger of
over planting in Georgia next year.
On the first point Commissioner
Stevens says that while it is true the
Georgia crop on the whole is one
fourth short, the farmers will have
twice as much money from it as they
had last year. while IN certain sections
where nearly full crop was made
prosperity is proportionateIy increased.
This has resulted in the liquidation
of nearly all outstanding Indebtedness
some of it several years old.
\ the amount of cotton either in
the Fl ID, in the gin or IN the ware
hous Mr.. Stevens says there is nc
LOT room for doubt. That the spin.
! have been suspicious, believing
much cotton was being "hid out
mas been very apparent. but they. have
only been deceiving themselves.
cit only requires trip through
Georgia to convince even the most
skepticaI, " said Commissioner Stevens,
''that there is no cotton in the fields.
On this point my correspondents write
the same way, and they are emphatic
in saying that there is practically nc
cotton in The gins and very little in the
warehouses.
GAS I have repeatedly said here, the
recent bear movement was wholly I'M
]ustIfiable, for the condition that pre-
vail in Georgia seems to prevail in al
the other cotton states, except that they
are worse, of course, in certain parts o.
Texas"

PAGEANTs A GLORIOUS FEAST.
Most Striking Display Ever Seen
With Circus.

Thousands in Americas will view
next Saturday the magnificent street
pageant OF the big circus Bearing in
mind that all tented shows are bound
to make the best possible public APP
pearance as their eliminating and most
effective advertisement, the real mag
nItude and resources of the great Adam
Forepaugh and Sells Brothers AmerI-
cas- greatest shows consolidated may
be fairly estimated by the size and ele-
gance of their united paradss. Hither-
to the parade of either show named has
been an exceptionally big and brilliant
one; wherefore, it may be reasonably
anticipated that all combined, and with
many rare and costly features added,
they will prove what Young America
would term a ''stunner.
