GOODS TO COST US
QUITE A BIT MORE,
Big Advance in Cotton Goods
Results.
ALL LINES MUCH HIGHER NOW
While Farmers Reap Little Benefit
From the Present High Price of Cot
ton They Viii Have to Pay More For
All Cotton Goods.

Americus merchants and others who
may not have given orders already for
fall cotton goods will have to pay "war
prices" for the same when needed, as
the high price of cotton has hi d the
effect of sending prices of Manufactured
goods skyward as we'll. Everything in
the line of cotton goods is higher now
than for long time, and the rise is
just beginning. The dry goods men
find that the price of all manufactured
cotton goods have advanced within the
last few weeks from 10 to Is per cent,
above the former price, and that even
in cases where the goods have been
contracted for away ahead of the selling
season, it is hard to secure deliveries.
Fortunately for all the business of the
present season is about closed, but the
advance came before they had mad c
contracts for the next seasons stock,
and so they were forced in many cases
to buy at the increased cost. The
great demand for certain goods thai
this condition of affairs has caused il
shown in the case of the Amoskeag
Mills, from which the entire seasons
output of bingham was taken in three
days.

LEFYE is GOING TO
WAIT FOR A WHILE.
Demanded an Indictment By
Grand Jury.
WILLIS WILL TESTIFY
Officer From Buena Vista Fully ldenti-
fies Lefye as Party From Whom He
Bought Shoes-And These Shoes
Claimed BY Sheffield.

Lefye, the white man held in Jail
here for alleged completely in the Shelf
field burglary, waived commitment
trial yesterday when arraigned before
Judge Ansley, and was bound over to
the grand jury at May term of Sum
ter superior court in the sum of $500.
And during the intervening three
months Lefye will remain star board
er at Castle Sumter. The state was
ready to proceed with the case and
Marshal Willis, of Buena Vista, most
important witness, was in court to tes
tify, when Lefye demanded formal
Indictment,
This case, therefore, goes to the grand
jury next, and in the event an indict-
ment is found Lefye will be tried upon
the burglary charge. Marshal Willis,
it is said, positively identified Lefye as
the man from whom he bought shoes
in Buena Vista last week.
These identical shoes are claimed by
the e, D, Sheffield Co.
Every pair taken from the window
has been recovered, even TO the odd
shoe, the mate of which was out of
reach of the thief and still remains in
the window here. Marshal Billy Fea
gin rode twenty miles before Relocated
that one missing shoe, but he got it all
right.
Lefye is a young white man of
shrewd and rather good appearance
and seems able to handle his own case,
as he has no lawyer as yet.

Tendency of the Times,

The tendency of medical science is
toward preventive measures. The best
thought of the world is being given to
the subject. 1t is easier and better to
to prevent than to cure: It has been
fully demonstrated that pneumonia, one
of the most dangerous diseases that
medical men have to contend with, can
be prevented by the use of Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy. Pneumonia al
ways results from cold or from an at
tack of Influenza (grip) and it has been
observed that this remedy counteracts
any tendency of these diseases towards
pneumonia. This has been fully proven
in many thousands of caaes in which this
remedy has been used during the great
prevalence of colds and grip in recent
years, and can be relied upon with inn
plicit confidence. Pneumonia often re-
suits from slight cold when no danger
is apprehended until it is suddenly dis
covered that there is fever and difficulty
in breathing and pains in the chest,
then it is announced that the patient
has pneumonia. Be on the safe side
and take Chamberlain's Cough Remedy
as soon as the cold is contracted. It al
ways cures. For sale by all druggists.

FOR AMERIcus BOYS.
More Money viii Be Paid the Geor-
gia Troops.

More Money Will Be Paid the ceor-
gia Troops,
The $50 Americus men who volun-
teered in the late war with Spain are
elated at the prospect of receiving
something like 50, 900 additional from
Uncle Sam. All troops are to be paid
again for the time which elapsed from
the date of their enlistment until they
were mustered into service. The gov
eminent has paid once for this service,
at the close of the war. But the gov
ernment holds no receipts from the
men for this money, and it appears it
has been decided to pay them again as
extra compensation. The amount
that will be recovered from the general
government for distribution among the
Georgians who were enlisted for ser
vice at that time will be little more
than two weeks pay for each private,
non commissioned and commissioned
officer furnished by this state. The
total will amount to somewhere in the
nelghborhood of $50, 900, there having
been more than $500 men and officers
enlisted from Georgia for service in the
war with Spain.

town upon this charge The presiding

of card playing in the social set IN that
town this season, and several large
tournaments haYe been held. The
prizes at these have been large, and
the competition among the ladies has
been so strong as to stir up quite a
little feeling. Many former good
friends have fallen out oyer the various
charges of cheating and trickery that
have been whispered about, and the
matter has reached the proportions of
local scandal. The social columns of
the papers reporting the games, it is
feared, Will be used by the jury for the
wholesale indictments expected.

MIGHT BRING TEN CENTS NOW.
Market Went Soaring In Clouds
YESTERDAY


If prices of cotton were considered
high last week, yesterdays advance
was phenomenal. It reached the high
est point attained in two years, and
good cotton, the finer grades, might
have brought ten cents in the Ameri-

ings. May contracts scared to 1910,
the record point since 1891, and closed
steady at 1907. There is no telling
to what price cotton Will go ere the
next crop is made. It may even
touch II or ~ cents, but by the time
the farmers who toll and make it get
the next crop ready it will drop back
to the old figures; as it always does.
