PLAY FOR SUCKER
BUT HOOK is SEEN
Fake kilograms Are Seat Regarding
The Market.
EFFORTS TO ROLL UNINITlATED.
Uneasy Holders of Long Cotton Send
Dozens of kilograms Here Yesterday
Advising Farmers to Buy Futures -
Break in Market Follows.

1t some dozen people in Amer Gus,
with more money than experience, did
not get touched yesterday by cotton
sharks in New York and elsewhere it
was not for any lack of effort upon the
part of "the talent" there to twist
them hard for their long green.
1t was a neatly laid net, but the
suckers here did not run in it.
The scheme was to induce people
here to buy cotton futures, and thus
let the good friend" at the other end
of the line unload on them. 1t was
worse than gold brick.
The cotton market had been very &C
tive the day before, upon the strength
of the bureau report, futures advanc
ing sharply, Naturally the rise crea.
ted great interest, and the unInitiated
no doubt thought the roof would be
knocked off yesterday by another rise.
There was some knocking, all right
enough, but it was the bottom instead
of at the top.
The "skinner" on the spot in New
York anticipated this, and early yester-
day morning merchants and farmers in
Americas received many kilograms
urging them to buy cotton. The con
dition of the market was painted in
gorgeous colors by the skinner.
The Telegram stated that an immedi-
ate advance of fifty points, or half a
cent, was expected 1t was a golden
opportunity to get in the game and
make a snug fortune quick.
A Jump of half cent at one time
meant a harvest of profits.
Some of the farmers receiving these
fake kilograms live ten miles i'll the
country, and their great surprise was
how the skinner" learned their names
and address. Only farmers or mer-
chants having little cash on hand
were given this friendly tip by the
skinner.
But they were not to be skinned so
easily. The market was already at the
top, and few hours later it had fallen
twenty-three points. ''You car fool
some of the people all the time, and all
the people some of the time; but you
cant fool all the people all the time.

LOOK FOR A FREEZE
IF PLANT is BUILT.
Americus Is to Have Abundant Ice
Supply.
PRESENT PLANT WILL ENLARGE.
While Another Factory May Be Built
By Louisville Concern Sims Plant
Will Be Increased to sixty-fYe Tons
Daily Output,

Prepare for the freeze that is going
to strike Americas fore and aft ere the
next ice water season comes on apace.
Americas has been a trifie dry for some
time, but all the relief that q super
abundant ice supply can give us Is to
be had soon.
One hundred tons daily will be the
output here another season.
The demand for ice has increased
very greatly this year, particularly
during the peach season, and the
Americas factory ran full time and over
to fill orders for ice.
Hundreds f tons of Amer'cus ice was
used in reffigeratlng fruit cars, and
this, with the local demand and that
from nearby points has k ut the facto-
ry very busy. But Manager Sims will
be more than able to take care of this
demand another sea on
He is preparing to install an entirely
new and thoroughly up-to-date plant
with q capacity of fifty tons daily,
This new plant will be entirely separ-
ate from the fifteen ton plant now in
operation here.
The present plant will be retained
an used when n zee sary.
The fifty ton plant will 0e operated
continuously and its full output of ice
made daily. The new and splendid
plant will be installed near the factory
of the Americas Ice Company and
owned by it, though run separately
from the machine there now.
And then there is talk of a new and
independent plant here.
The Times Recorder was informed
yesterday that Louisville company
proposed building n big ice factory
here at once and installing q new and
modern plant with daily capacity o.
| twenty-five tons, Options upon {
building site have been secured.
It is said that the Louisville firm
would begin work upon it's factory be
fore October list. No local capital il
interested, it is said.
In this event Americas would have
two big ice factories with combined
daily output of nearly hundred tons
What there is in the latter report re
mans to be seen, but certain it is tina
the Americas Ice Co. is going to get il
the game on big basis.
And 1t will be cool in Americas; very
cool, when this is done.
