1t is easily possible for a news

ANOTHER JUMP IN QUOTATIONS
Bmericus Dealers Paid Eight Cents
for Fancy Cotton Yesterday Gain
ed Is Points In Opening Talk of
10 Cents Cotton Is Revived.

A long stride towards nine cents
cotton was made yesterday when the
contract market, at the opening,
showed gain Of fifteen points over
the net gain of last week. January
was marked up to 8.28, the highest
point reached since the opening of the
season, and this again revives talk of
ten cents for cotton ere another crop is
made. Belief in the recent Bureau es-
innate is gaming strength and prices
for the staple are marked up consider
ably. Where the best grades sold in
Americus last week at u cents, the
buyers paid s cents yesterday, though
y cents was perhaps the ruling fig
ure. Many sales were made here yes
terday on the rise, as farmers were
glad to get even this advance. But
man yothers are determined to hold for
still higher prices. There are perhaps
3, 900 bales in the Amerlcus warehous-
es, and the owners of this cotton will
get the benefit of the rise. Not a few
here pulled down a nice purse yester-
day in speculative way.

THE AeREEmENr NOT RATIFIED.
By Court and Bank Case Was Contin-
ued.

Judge William Fl. FELTON,, of the Ma
con circuit, presided in Sumter supe-
rior court yesterday for Judge Little
John in the hearing of the case of the
old-Bank of Americus. When the case
was called Judge FELTON, was asked to
ratify an agreement between counsel
representing banks in Baltimore and
New York, and the attorneys repre-
senting the local end of this long liti
CATION, whereby the three northern
banks were to be relieved from payil &
back into the hands of the receiver,
MIR. Thornton WheatieY, the full
amount received by them from the as
sets of the bank and which had been
previously ordered returned to the re-
ceiver. Local counsel agreed that this
might be done by the banks in ques-
ton paying into the hands of Receiver
WheatleY $1,000 and such other sums
as may be required to comply with the
order of the court, whereupon the sales
OF property, made by the trustee OF The
bank, might be confirmed. Judge
FELTON,, however, refused to approve
the agreement thus entered into until
the sales of realty, etc were first con.
frmed. To this counsel representing
local creditors objected, and the case
was continued.

VOTERS TO LINE UP

Primary For City Officers Takes Place
Today.
MANY STARTERS IN HANDICAP.
Three Aldermen and City Clerk Will
Be Nominated, and There Are No
Lack of Asplrants For These Sew
eral Vacancies on Beard.

In the primary election today for
city clerk and three members of the
aldermanic board Americas is prom
ised one of the li7liest battles of bal
lots waged here In long time. It is a
good natured eight" however, and
there will be no wounds to heal.
All the candidates are well known
citizens, and each has the best inter-
ests OF Americus at heart.
The only difference is that each
thinks perhaps he is better qualified
than some of the others for the duties
of the Office. Perhaps this is true,
and the voters will determine this
point today.
For the Office of city clerk and treas
urer, made vacant by the resignation
of Clerk Davis, there are two aspirants,
Messrs. 81. @. Mitchell and T. N.
Hawkes.. Both are thoroughly COM
petent to fill the position; both are
alike popular, and will receive strong
support.
And none the less interesting is the
aldermanic handicap.
There are eight entries IN this race,
Messrs. J. B. Hudson, Elmo Poole,
j. s. Bolton, Ct. II. Whitaker, Fl L,
Mize, G. J. Sherlock, G. T. Bragg and
B. E. Turner. A full field indeed.
The voters will pick ticket from
this number; three men whom the ma
jority think best qualified to give the
city an economical administration next
year. For economy is the watch
word, and it will require business sa-
gacity to steer the ship of state.
Between 600 and 700 votes will be
cast in all probability. The polls will
open at 8 O'Clock and close at this
