LOFTY FLIGHT OF THE STAPLE

tinue.

While ten points were trimmed off
the top OF the cotton market yesterday,
due to heavy receipts at the ports, the
staple was still worth 103 cents IN
Americas and is going higher still.
The recent rise has brought cotton to
the ports IN larger quantities than ex
p3cted, but these receipts can hold up
but little while as the cotton is ell
ont. The very heavy receipts are due
to the prevailing high prices and do
not mean that the seasons crop will be
any less short. The urgent demand is
rather responsible for the establish
ment of the record of $4,000 bales
Tuesday, the heaviest of the season,
There is anxiety expressed to haveevery
available bale of cotton in the country
shipped to the ports, in order that the
stock can be counted, aud also to have
the staple ready for instant delivery
should the occasion arise. There is an
urgent demand throughout Europe for
the staple and they are taking every
bale which can be obtained

and Mr.. S. w. Carson
A marriage of much interest to nu.
merous friends in three states-Vir-
g1nia, Tennessee and Georgia-was
solemnized yesterday at II o'clock in
the parlors of the Windsor Hotel in
this city where the BRIDES mother is
spending the winter. The beautiful
decorations were arranged by ladies of
the hotel, friends of the bride.
The contracting parties were Mr..
Stephen William Carson, of Atlanta,
and Mrs. Eleanor Rhea Adams, of
Marion. Virginia.
The bride and groom entered the
parlor preceded by J. W.. s. Rhes, of
Memphis, brother of the bride, and

Mr.. and Mrs. McCleskey.
The bride was married in travelling
costume-a tailor made suit of blue
cloth trimmed in white with black and
white bands and ornaments, white
peau de sole and blue velvet waist
with hat to match.
The bride is daughter of Mre. Ell
len ", Rhea, of Marion, Va. Her ia
Their, the late J. B. Rhea, was at one
time Treasurer of the AssembIy's For
eign Mission Board of the Southern

She comes from a family noted for

sEABoARD GOES TO SOUTHERN.
Though Its Identity Will Not Be EIimi
mated.

Much interest was expressed in
Americus yesterday at the news that
the Southern Railway had obtained
controlling interest in the Seaboard.
This now great system had its incep-
tion in Americus. The first rails in
what is now the Seaboard System were
bought with Americas dollars and laid
by Americas men, and while they lost
their all in the enterprise they still
feel deep interest in the success of
the line. It is understood, however,
that In the merging of the Seaboard
with the Southern it will maintain it's
individuality, and President Williams
Will remain at It's head. The last an
nual report of the Seaboard Air Line
showed that it re quires $2,481, 800 per
year to pay the fixed interest charges
on the bonded indebtedness of the
company. This interest is due in
about every month of the year, though
the majority IS payable in January and
July. The earnings of the line were
$12, FOG, 527. 80, while the operating ex-
penses were SO, 473s778. 81, leaving net
earnings of $3.473, 1904. With the
interest and other charges out the re-
port of the presidentshowed that 1882, =

report of the president and the auditor
would indicate that the property is in
a most Furnishing condition, as claim

COMES TO AMERIcUs
Solid Freeze to the Coast Line Pre-
dicted.

"Prepare for the freeze" was the
warning seat out yesterday by the
weather bureau, and the wise ones
hunted the timber. Like wolf on
the fold the predicted blizzard swept
down upon Americas last night, Civ
ing us the first real touch of winter.
1t was sudden transition fro the
Indian summer of the past week, and
the populace shiveyed. The cold wave
extended clear to the coast line, the
mercury tumbling we'll below the FIRE ez
ing point. The winds whistled re-
QUEEN to departing summer and a quick
step to the oyster, while Thomas and
Jeremiah and the genial Paul Jones
proceeded to get busy. The shirt
waist and the straw hat have finally
ganged agjee, while the coal baron,
the plumber and other admirers of the
life and character of Jesse James will
proceed to hold up the public for the
cash.

ANOTHER WONDER OF SCIENCE.
Biology has Proved that Dandrufr is
Caused by Germ.

Science is DOING wonders these days in
medicine as we'll as in mechanics. Since
Adam lived, the human race has been
troubled with dandruff, for which no hair
preparation has heretofore proved a sut-
cessful cure until Newbro's Herpicide was
put on the market. It is a scientific prep
aration that kills the germ that makes
dandruff or scurf by digging into the
scalp to get at the root of the hair, where
Ii saps the vitality; causing itching scalp,
falling hair, and finally badness. With
out dandruff hair must grow luxuriantly.
1t is the only destroyer of dandruff.

LARGE AUDIENCE HEARS
DR.. CORNELIUS WOELFNN
Address Delivered Under Auspices
Of the y. NJ. G. A.

DR.. Cornelius Woelfkin. OF Brooklyn,
delivered an address yesterday after
noon at the Lafayette Theater, under
the auspices of the Young Mems Chris
tian Association. a large number of
men and boys were present to hear the
last but one OF this series of Sunday
afternoon addresses.
In the course OF his remarks Dr..
Woelfxin said:
"Our confidence in life lies in our ig-
norance. What do you know OF the men
you trust? We have deep surprises
IN this world in our friendships. Our
saddest discoveries are those we make
In our own selves. We start life with
a good deal of egotism. We are keen in
our criticism OF others who have fail
ed. where we were not even tempted.
Su1a>='y something arises within US,
and We stumble and fall
Our first disappointment Is in find
ing ourselves doing things we would
not have believed ourselves capable OF
doing We do them again and again un-
I'll they become a part OF US. Another
Disappointing discovery is when we find
we would do good. but know there IS
evil in US fighting against it We would
be generous, but conscience strangles
our thrOats. There are so many broken
down resolutions. We find in the
analysis that evil is in the ascendency.
II is disappointing TO find, also, that
recovery seems to become an i'm
possibility"
