LOOKS LIKE NO FOOTBALL CHRISTMAS
Auburn Team Cannot Come, Writes Manager
Sargeant-No Game Today.

Close upon the announcement that
Auburn had backed out of coming to
Savannah to play the Savannah team a
game of football on Christmas Day,
comes the news that the game which
was to have been played this after
noon between the Savannah team and
a team from the training ship Hart
ford, win not be played.
The reason for calling off this game
is that it was impossible for a large
number of the Savannah men to get
out in time to participate. Landsburg
is out of the city. Smith is suffering
from injuries that would prevent his
playing and Capt Cope is not in posi-
ton to play, so it was decided to call
the game off.
In a letter to Mr.. Frank McIntire
Manager Sergeant of the Auburn team
stated that he had found that it would
be impossible to get his team to-
gether and come to Savannah for the
Christmas game. 1t is a well-known
fact that it is almost impossible to
keep a college team together after
Thanks giving. 1t is still harder to
get a team to play game on Christ
mas Day, as the college boys all want
to spend their holidays at home.
Negotiations have been opened with
the Charleston team in an effort to
get the team to come here on Christ
mas Day. If this can be done it will
prove one of the greatest drawing at
fractions of the kind ever brought to
Savannah.
While the claims of the Charleston
papers are to the effect that no out
siders will be allowed to play on the
team, no denial is made of the fact
that a number of men who played on
the Clemson team will be in the

canal and railways are exempted from
taxation as well in the cities of Pam
anna and Colon as in the canal zone
and it's dependencies. Free immigra-
ton of the personnel and importation
of supplies for the construction and
operation of the canal are granted.
Provision is made for the use of mill
itary force and the building of fortifi-
cations by the United States for the
protection of the transit. In other de-
tails, particularly as to the acquisition
of the interests of the New Panama
Canal Company and the Panama Rail-
way by the United States and the
condemnation of private property for
the uses of the canal, the stipulations
of the Hay-Herran treaty are closely
followed, while the compensation to
be given for these enlarged grants re-
mains the same, being $10.000,000 pay
able on exchange of Publications; and,
beginning nine years from that date,
an annual payment of $250,000 during
the life of the convention.

interest and well-being, not merely of
our own people, but of the people of the
Isthmus of Panama and the people
of the civilized countries of the
world, to take decisive steps to bring
to an end condition of affairs which
had become intolerable. The new re-
public of Panama Immediately offered
to negotiate a treaty with us. This
treaty l herewith submit. By 1t our
interests are better safeguarded than
in the treaty with Colombia which
was ratified by the Senate at its last
session. 1t is better in its terms than
the treaties offered us by the repub-
lies of Nicaragua and Costa Rica. AT
last the right to begin this great UNI
dertaking is made available. Panama
has done her part. All that remains
is for the American Congress to do
it's part and forthwith this republic
will enter upon the execution of a
project colossal in it's size and of we'll
nigh incalculable possibilities for the
good of this country and the nations
of mankind.
BY the provisions of the treaty the
United States guarantees and will
maintain the independence Of the re-
public of Panama. There is granted
to the United States in perpetuity
the use, occupation, and control of a
strip ten miles wide and extending
three nautical miles into the sea at
either terminal, with all lands lying
outside of the zone necessary for the
construction of the canal or for its
auxiliary works, and with the islands
in the Bay of Panama. The cities of
Panama and Colon are not embraced
in the canal zone, but the United
States assumes their sanitation and,
in case of need, the maintenance of
order therein; the United States en-
joys within the granted limits all the

would possess were 1t the sovereign
of the territory to tn exclusion Of the

SOUTHERN COTTON
MILL CONSUMPTION
Statistics Based on Information from 100
Mills
Mills.

Maximum price for cotton: Ala
bama, 10Hc; Georgia, 101sc; South
Carolina, 10 3-16c; North Carolina,
10Ac Virginia, 10c.
These mills use in the aggregate
360,120 bales of cotton, or IS per cent.
of the total Southern consumption.
'They have bought or contracted for
1850 bales or 40 per cent. of their
annual requirements, and with cot
ton around the normal level. would
buy approximately 1910 bales more.
1.-The stocks of unsold goods are APP
proximately one-third less in the states
of Alabama, Georgia and South Caro-
line, whilst those in North Carolina
and Virginia are greater by about rs
per cent.
THE commitments for future deliv-
cry are smaller throughout the belt,
especially in Georgia and the Caro-
linas.
THE replies as to the price of cot
ton, beyond which there will be a
loss by converting into goods, are
quite uniform, being at an average
strict middling. The higher prices are
given by the mills making fine goods
and the lower prices by the coarse
goods and yarn mills.
1.-The treasurers are quite pessemistic
in their views of the goods markets.
Lnlrty-SeVen OF them can see no lIn-
mediate improvement, while there are
thirty-six who say goods must ad
vance unless cotton declines, and all
agree that there will be considerable
curtailment in the consumption. In
deed there are a number who claim
they are already restricting the output
of their mills.
IF the condition of these mills may
be taken to indicate the average of all
mills in the South, there has yet to
be bought about 100000 bales of cot
ton to run them until another crop be-
gins to move, if the consumption is
to equal that of last year, and at
present prices for cotton this involves
a loss of $13,000,000 in round figures
during the next nine months.
LAS European spinners contracted
with American exporters for large
lines of cotton for delivery during the
fall and winter months, when the price
was in the neighborhood of cents
per pound, the subsequent advance
has not affected them, but we antici-
pate when it comes to entering the
market for later deliveries they will
adopt the hand-to-mouth plan of the
American spinner.
