COTTON DAMAGED
FROM EXPOSURE,
Great Loss to Farmers Result Of
Handling.
LEFT EXPOSED WHOLE SEASON
And Enormous Loss Has Resulted
TherebY-Hundreds of Bales Will
Have to Be Picked Before They are
again Marketable.

While the loss to cotton left exposed
in Americas will not be very consider
able, it is said that IN some of the
smaller towns in this section, where
the warehouse facilities are not sde-
quate, the loss Will amount to thous-
ands of dollars. In some of these
places the cotton has been piled out of
doors all winter, perhaps, with the re-
suit that the bsgging has decsyed and
fallen from the bales, leaving the once
white staple entirely exposed to the
weather. An Americas buyer stated
yesterday that he had examined one
lot of several hundred bales in a near
by town that appeared to be almost
ruined. Hundreds, ii not thousands
of bales thus unsheltered will have to
be picked over before it will be sale
able, and then the loss will be enor-
nous. It seems a pity that cotton,
our chief staple, should thus be
handled so carelessly. Many farmers,
who have held cotton for three or four
months, may lose heavily unless it
was protected against rot and ruin.

From the present outlook the war in
South Africa will have ended and
peace be restored IN Topeka ere the
city council of Americus elects a may
or protein. It is position of honor,
to say nothing of an additional salary
of 800, and it is not strange that three
or four of the six aldermen covet the
feshpot. AS told in yesterdays
Times Recorder, forty SIX ballots were
taken at the meeting of council the
night before, but no one of the &spir-
ants could be elected. The campaign
