COTTON RECEIPTS
KEEP INCREASING.
Bank CIearings This Week over
100000 Ahead of Last Year.

100000 Ahead of Last Year.
There was decided increase in local
port receipts of cotton yesterday, be-
ing 1886 against $500 for the same day
last year. Each day brings the re-
ceipts closer to those of last year, and
with another rally in the market, and
a decrease in the demands of the home
mills, the receipts here are expected
to go beyond those of the same days
last year.
So far this season 2O,657 bales of
new cotton have been received here
against 590S4 up TO the same time last
year, with reports from the interior
that most of the cotton that is being
bought now is for export.
One of the best ev denc S of the RIP d.
ly improving conditions is the bank
clearings for the past week, which
were 1885, 260.37 against $3.S0S, 05S,90
for the same week last year. This is
an increase of over 100000. and in
view of the late crops this showing is
a most remarkable one. Already farm
ers have commenced to discount
their papers. thing which was un-
heard of at this time last year
Manager Whipple, of the Virginia.
Carolina Chemical Company at Sa-
vannah said that a number of papers
held by the company he represented
had been discounted already, and that
at this time last year, even with the
early crop, such things were unheard
of
All papers are made payable Oct 1,
Oct. Is, Nov. and Nov. 10, and the
fact that farmers are taking advant-
age of the slight discounts allowed
for early settlements is favorable
indioat ton.

HAVE MADE NO DEMANDS.
Report of Threatened Strike of Cen
trail Machinists Denied.

The Central of Georgia Railway Off
cials at Savannah know of no demands
made by the machinists in the shops
here for an increase of wages, nor of
any threats 10 strike if the demands
are not acceded to.
Supt. Kline said yesterday that so
far as he knew the men in the shops
here are perfectly satisfied. There has
but recently been an advance of some
of the men to the highest scale Of
wages paid in the shop. This was
done as men, after years of experience
in the shops, attain to degrees of use
fulness that warranted a raise in their
pay to the standard which is in force.
The proper officer for any such de-
mand TO be made to would be Supt.
Kline and his statement that no such
demand has been made is most en-
phatic.
The only negotiations pending be-
tween the railway company and its en-
ployes now is in the case of some of
the car workers, who have asked for
read justment of the wage scale to
meet the growing efficiency of some of
the men, and the extended field of labor
in the manufacture of the high class
DAY cOaCneS ana SleepeIS IHdl lue IOdu
is now building. These negotiations,
however, are not in the nature of a
threatened strike, and the adjustment
will be amicabl and satisfactory to all.
The railway company has not been
notified that unless it meets the re-
quests of the employees in the car de-
partment there will be a general strike.
There have been no new develop
ments in the situation in Macon, so far
as the informatlo in the hands of the
officials here goes, but there is hope
that the men will return to work. 1t
is the desire of the officials that no i'll
feeling be entertained against the road
by reason of the fact that it is unable
to meet the demands of the men, and 1t
has made every concession that 1t
deems just. All of the men at Macon
have been offered the privilege of re-
turning to work if they so desire, but
further than this no inducement has
been offered them.

STOLE WHEEL TO
GET HOME ON

A young white lad. who gave his
name as John Smith, which is probably
an alias, pleaded guilty to stealing the
bicycle of w. D. Claiborne Tears were
in his eyes when he answered to the
charge, and in manner that evidenced
good training, he told the judge how he
was trying to get back to his home in
Maryland, and thought to pawn the
wheel for money to pay his railroad
fare. Many were touched by his story.
and although the judge sentenced him
to six months Imprisonment, it is un
derstood that an effort will be made to
secure suspension of the sentence.

hand grasped the neck Of a siphon bottle. which
was as large as a streetcar, and from its neck
there squirted q frothing stream into the up
held glass. The siphon bottle showed never

flowed. The two CoUntryrnen still stared.
