Dodge City Republican.

Hon. Willis Geo. Emerson and
his son, who acts as his stenograph-
er, were here yesterday enroute to
Denver from trip to the Grand
Encampment mining camp. Col.
F. Asbury Awl, of Harrisburg,
Penn, and Mr.. Edward Taylor, of
Evanston, Ills, accompanied Mr..
Emerson on the trip to the mines.
They went east Monday night. Col.
Awl and Mr.. Taylor were well pleas
ed with the outlook for the Grand
Encampment district, and it is un-
derstood that they made a number
of investments in the camp.

THE DECLINE IN COTTON.
II Seems to Be Due to the Belief That a
Big Crop Will Be Planted.

Notwithstanding that it is now be-
lieved last years crop of cotton will be
less than ten million bales the price
still has a downward tendency. The
amount in sight on March 1st was
s. 249. 922 bales. The average per cent.
of the total crop in sight March LIST
for the past II years has been 50 per
cent. Assuming that this crop has
moved on an average the movement to
date would indicate total outturn of
1854, 32S bales.
The continual decline in the price OF
cotton seems to be due TO the claim
that the south is going to plant this
year the largest acreage IN its history;
that the farmers will put every acre
they can in cotton, and that next year
there will be such a superabundance
of cotton that prices must decline very
much lower. There is already talk OF
a 15.O00,000 bale crop. Cotton is al
ready being sold to be delivered next
December at y cents.
Every extra acre planted in cotton
must be at the sacrifice of the grain
crop, and a scarcity of corn and meat
in the south means hard times; so let
every farmer be sure to plant enough
corn to supply his place next year

RURAL MAIL DELIVERY
Judge Griggs Will Go to Wash
ingtOn in Interest of Service
in Second District.

Congressman Griggs will leave for
Washington tomorrow in the interest
of rural free mail delivery in the sec
ond congressional district.
A great many petitions for rural de-
livery routes in the various counties of
the district are on file in the postal de-
partment at Washington, and a rural
mail agent has been under orders for
some time to report to Judge Griggs
and begin, under his direction, an in
spection of the routes that are desired.
This agent has not yet put in an APP
pearance, and the object of Judge
Griggs' trip to the capitol is to have
him hurried up.
Judge Griggs is an ardent champion
of rural mail delivery, and perhaps has
done more to'extend it than any other
congressma an. There are more rural
delivery routes in the second district
than in any other in Georgia.

WHY THE NAME Was CHOSEN
TIE LOCAL CHAPTER OF THE DAUGh-
TIERS OF THE CONFEDERACY.
Something About the Gallant Husband OF
the Lady Whose Name the Organ
izatiOn Bears.

EDITOR NEWS: | see from your pa
per that the ladies who met at the
court house in Dawson and organized
a chapter of the United Daughters OF
the Confederacy named the chapter
"Mary Brantley," This is well de-
served compliment to the name Brant-
Nv. I have been asked who was Mary
Brantly and why the chapter was
given that name. With your permits
sion. I will briefly answer these ques-
tions. as there are now only few of
The present citizens of our town and
county who know the Brantly family.
Mary Brantly was lady OF educa-
tion. culture and refinement, and was a
sister of Mrs. B. H. Hood and of the
late Mrs Deubler, Mrs. Hart and Mrs.
T,asseter. She was also the wife of
Prof. Thomas J. Brantly, one of the
pioneers of Dawson. Brantly was a
school teacher by profession, and or
oanized and taught one of the first
schools in Dawson-known as the
Brantly Academy he gave up
with all the pleasures and comforts of
a happy home to answer his country
call for volunteers. He was a Mason
in good standing, as the records of 2.
Il. Schley Lodge will show. He was
one of the original members OF
the Dawson Volunteers, the first
company that left Dawson and Terrell
county. 1t left on the 7th day OF
May, 1861, under Capt. c. B. Wooten
and enlisted in the 9TH Regiment. OF
Georgia Volunteers, with which com
mander Professor Brantly remained
to the time of his death.
He was color sergeant or flag bearer
of his regiment-a position OF honor,
but one of great danger-and nobly
and bravely did he bear that flag, never
once allowing it to trail in the dust or
90 down in dishonor. But the fatal
day came when, amid the storm of
battle and the shouts Of his victorious
commander, an enemy's bullet pierced
his brave heart and he fell in the
foremost ranks of the Dawson Volun-
teers-then commanded by that fear
less officer, Capt. John A. Fulton of
Dawson his body today fills an un-
known soldiers grave in the'red hills
of Tennessee somewhere near Muir
fresborO.
He was killed in the battle of Muir
fresboro December, 1862, and when
the battle was over and the contend
ing forces allowed time to bury their
dead owing to the change of the posi-
tions of the armies his body could new
er be found, and it was supposed to
have been buried by the enemy, where
it sleeps today in quiet solitude with
no gentle hand to scatter flowers over
it on each recurring Memorial day. But
his comrades and friends can still hon
or the many virtues of his private
character as we'll as his brave and he
role deeds on the field of battle, and in
the language of the poet say
Sleep on. comrade, sleep on, thy warfare is DER,
Not thine own bugles loudest strain
Shall ever break thy siumbers more
With Summons to the battle plain;
A trumpet note more loud and deep
Must rouse thee from that leaden sleep"

COTTON SHIPPING
BADLY HAMPERED
Delay in COMPRISING is Causing
Much Inconvenience.
BUYERS AND BANKERS CONFER.
Have Asked For Conference With
Railroad Authorities With View of
Securing Relief = Buyers Out of
Field Because Can't Ship Cotton.

The Cotton buyers, warehousemen
and bankers of Americas are greatly
concerned at the condition of affairs
confronting them In the COMPRISING
and shipping of cotton, and have ask.
ed the authorities of the Central and
Seaboard railways to send represen-
tatives here,
Delay in getting bills lading and the
further delay in getting cotton pressed
seems to be the trouble.
Cotton from Dawson, Cuthbert,
Shellman, Dothan and dozen points
outside of this territory is poured into
this press, causing such congestion as
to inconvenience local shippers.
Heretofore this cotton has been
pressed at Dawson, but since the At
lantic Compress Go. scooped in about
all the presses in the state the Dawson
press has been closed up, thus forcing
more cotton here than can be handled
expeditiously. At least that is the
complaint.
Then, too, the railroads decline to
give bill lad1ng for cotton until the
same has been compressed and loaded
on cars for shipment.
This new departure, it is claimed,
works a disadvantage to the banks in
that it keeps money tied up unpeces-
sarily for LONGER period of time than
under former conditions.
The trouble existing here now has
already forced mum Der of buyers out
of the market for time If it contin-
ues it will greatly injure Americas
commercially, for if cotton cannot be
sold and shipped at this point the far
mers will soon carry it elsewhere.
Even by working day and night the
press remains pretty well crowded
with cotton from this place and out
side points.
Yesterday meeting of Americus
bankers, buyers and warehousemen
was held and telegram sent by them
TO Mr.. W. A. Winburn, of the Central
Railway, and A. Pope of the Seaboard,
asking for relief here.
Here is copy of the telegram sent
these officials
Americas, Ga. Oct. 16.--"We re-
specially insist that there be radical
changes made in method of handling
cotton at this point, and at once
That full, complete understanding
may be arrived at, we ask that you
name suitable day this week to come
here and discuss situatlon'thoroughly."
This was signed by the buyers,
bankers and warehousemen.
The situation is an exasperating one
and Immediate relief is demanded by
those whose interests thus suffer. No
doubt the railway authorities will
comply with the request for an lmme-
date conference here.
