PRICE OF COTTON is
GOING TO STAY UP,
Twelve Cents Not Unlikely
This Fall.
OPINION OF AMERlcus DEALER.
Thinks Cotton VIII Go To IL or Even
l3 Gents During Summer, and Open
at 10 to Eleven Cents In the + all
When Farmers Have the Stuff.

Americas cotton men-far sighted
and well posted ones-are firm in the
belief that, while the speculative mar
ket is already ballooning above twelve
cents, spot cotton will sell right here
in Americas at II cents in September
next, and that prices will rule close
around the ten cent mark throughout
the whole season.
In which event the farmer will be in
the saddle-elected once more by o
large majority.
They may beswrong, of course, but
there is reason for the opinions ex-
pressed. If 10 cents is a fair price for
cotton now, II cents would not be too
high for it when ready to be delivered.
There is practically no cotton in the
country; the mills are all short of sup
ply, and there is every good reason for
believing that high prices will obtain
when the next crop is marketed. The
suggestion of an eminent authority,
that farmers sell now at 81 cents fol
October delivery, is not taken very
seriously here.
The farmer who acted upon this sug
gest1op might have reason to regret il
when he started to deliver his bales on
contract next fall.
One of the best posted and most con-
seryative cotton men in Americus ex
pressed to the Times-Recorder yester-
day his belief that spot cotton would
sell in Amerlcus in September next at
II cents. He also believes that 10 cents
will be the ruling price the greater
part of the season, if the crop is nc
larger than the one just sold.
The spectators are making millionl
out of cotton just now. The next sea
son will open up with not a bale in the
warehouses, and then will the farmer
hold the ace of trumps.

CHILD IS DEAD AND
TWO BOYS IN JAIL.
Little Son of Albert Wall
Slain.
MURDER A VERY BRUTAL ONE,
Little Boy is Badly Beaten BY Two
Young Negroes and Dies From In
juries Inflicted Young Murder
ers are In SchIey Jail

Parties from Ellaville in Americas
yesterday gave fuller particulars of the
brutal killing of the five year old son
of Mr.. Albert Wall, prominent citf-
zen, by two young negro boys three or
four days ago, the crime being very
atrocious one indeed.
Concealed in shuck pen, the two
young demons beat the little fellow to
insensibllity with an iron hselpin,
death resulting next day,
The deed was cold blooded and dew
ilish in the extreme.
AS told at the time, the little fellow,
the son of Mr.. Wall and but five years
OF age, went into the shuckpen with
the two negroes, aged ten and twelve
years. Then it was that the young de-
mons inflicted the torture that result
ed in the boys death but few hours
afterward.
Taking an iron heelpin, they wrap
ped it in a shuck, thus making a for
midsble weapon.
With this they attacked the little
fellow, breaking three ribs and infict-
ing other injuries from which spinal
meningitis resulted.
After day or two of agony, death
relieved his suffering,
After beating the little boy nearly to
death the two young demons ran away
but later they returned and peeped in
to the barn where the little fellow lay
unconscious. They did not tell of the
attack, leaving the little sufferer to be
found by mere chance later,
The brutal crime shocked the com.
munity and it was lucky for the young
demons that they were not dealt with
summarily.
After lingering in greatest agony
nearly two days the little five year ole
victim of this most atrocious assault
succumbed. The youthful perpetra
tors of the crime are being held, pend
ing full Investigation by the grand
Jury at the next term of the court.
The killing of the baby boy, as de
scribed, is the most shocking crime o
recent years here.
