this year the bank clearings for this
week, which are greatly affected dur
ing the cotton season by. the amount
of the staple that comes through this
port, are surprising, and indicate that
the increase in the price of cotton will
swell the clearings for this, and sue
ceeding months of the cotton season
beyond all former records. For the
same week last year the cearings
were So, $3.50, 1854, against $2,1S2,2S5.S1, a
difference of a little over $1,000,000,
where the cotton receipts are not as
large by one-third. 1t is safe to pre-
diet that this weeks clearings will
surpass those Of the same week last
year
Cotton steamers have arrived at all
Of the wharyes except those OF the
Seaboard Air Line, and one or two of
the big tramps are expected TO put in
appearance and take a berth at these
terminals to-day or tomorrow.
The local receipts yesterday were L.
OlO bales. against 4.4l3 for the same
day last year. The receipts since Sept
this year are 1888, against 1926 last
year and In the face Of this difference
bank clearings make most remark
able showing. 10 every bale OF cot
ton that comes through Savannah at
the prevailing prices one-thlrd more
money IN handled. and on 100000
bales which VIII be- handled here
which was the nmoU8t handled last
year ard which VIII no doubt be eE-
ceedsd this yeer. asa Increase ~ f23 per
bale ear safely BE- counted on, max

ceived a number of contributions to the
guarantee fund yesterday. raising the
amount seeured4hy his committee alone
to $3.50. There are still a number of
merchants who will likely make con-
tributions. and it is thought that the
amount for Broughton street will be
raised to $4,000.
Mr.. Levy has received letter from
Thos. Jewett, formerly of Savannah
stating that he would like to have his
name placed on the guarantee fund for
$50. Last year he had charge of the

it is to Schuyler Colfax. vice president
of United States and the great Indiana
statesman, to whom the credit Of
founding the Rebekah Degree by rights
belongs. AS stated above Sept. 20, 1851
saw the browning of his efforts, and the
birth of the degree. The degree first
went into effect on Jan. l, 1852.
The Degree of Rebekah is conferred
not only upon ladies, but also upon all
odd Fellows in good standing, and
upon their wives. 1t is also conferred
on all unmarried white women who are
more than Is years of age, who believe
in a Supreme Intelligent Creator and
Ruler of the Universe, and who are of
good moral standing. The degree
must be taken by any one who wishes
to enter the Sovereign Grand Lodge,
either as a visitor or as a representa-
tive.
The Rebekah degree is called the
browning excellence of the order" and
its many benefits are openly and heart
lily recognized by the entire fraternity
OF Odd Fellows. Since its organization
the work of the brotherhood has been
furthered greatly. Another great bene-
fit conferred by the degree is that the
feeling Of hostility which formerly ex-
listed among the wives of those who
belonged 10 a secret order has been
practically. II not entirely overcome.

escaped on a skiff but saved only a few
of their samples. Mr. TAYLOR had
several trunks of clothing which were
damaged and partly lost. Mr.. Ru
dolph who travels for the Forked
Deer Pants Go. saved his trunks and
- NJ. Taylor - manager OF the Paducan
Clothing Company and was travelling
for his concern. He also had side
line of medicines representing the
Winstead Medicine Company of Pa
ducah. The medicine was also lost.
The two men had been making towns
all along the river TO Vicksburg and

Henry Knight and his mother,
Mrs. Jennie Knight proprietors
OF Knights Hotel in Fulton, fled

assets are composed of the Knight
Hotel property, restaurants and
stock, and the old Grand Central
hotel property, in Fulton.
This property originally cost
more than $50, 900, but perhaps
