COTTON RECEIPTS OFF.
Farmers About Americas Blue oven
the Outlook.

Americas. Ga, Oct 4-Cotton re-
ceipts in Americas are about 5000 bales
behind receipts at this date last year,
and the crop is being marketed at a
rapid rate. Farmers are discouraged
at the outlook and low prices, and all
who can do so are inclined to hold at
least part of their crop for better
prices.
There will not be the vestige of a
top crop here this year, and not a few
fields will be entirely cleaned when
gone over another time. There has been
great deterioration in the crop during
the past three or four weeks.
The excessive and burdensome tax
rate imposed by the City Council is a
subject of much unfavora BILE comment.
The rate assessed is IL per cent, which
many citizens deem excessive and I'M
necessary The saloons here pay $13,-
900 annually into the treasury in the
way of special taxes, and yet the taxes
are higher than during the farcical
period of prohibition and blind tiger
ISM The city tax, added to that of
the county, and the onerous special
taxes imposed upon every line of bust
ness, runs the total rate to very near
31a per cent. per annum.
Americas will make a good showing
this year, as usual, for the benefit of
the Southeastern Tariff Association.
FOR the nine months just e1ueu, the TO-
tai fire loss in Americas will not ex-
coed $3.50, mere trile as compared
with the 100000 paid annually in pre-
miums by citizens here.
Americas maintains an excellent paid
fire department, and the sum total of
losses during the past two or three
years will not exceed $4,000, as against
100000 paid in premiums during the
same time. Yet Americas is assessed
a very high tariff rate by the insurance
trust to offset losses elsewhere.
Efforts will be made. no doubt, to
bring to an end the long litigation over
the Hotel Windsor, that needed i'm
provements may be made upon the
building, erected by citizens of Ameri-
Gus at a cost of $15O.0oO. There are two
claimants to the property, and pending
a settlement of the question of title, the
fine building is fast deteriorating for
lack of needed repairs.
The warehouse here received yester-
day a total of S25 bales of cotton by
wagon. So far this season wagon re-
ceipts amount to about 1900 bales,
against $4,000 at this date last year.

The Angorn I'm the United states

The Angora industry has now been
successfully growing in the United
States for more than forty years, says
the Sheep Broader. The early breed
ers worked hard with a few imported
animals, and by crossing and recross-
ing with the common Mexican goat of
the West, the American Angora flocks
have grown from nothing to their
present number of about 400, 900 ami
mails. The obstacles which the early
breeders had to overcome were appaH-
ing; weak men would have fallen by
the wayside, but these sturdy pioneers
saw that some day the Angora goat
would be a power in the live stock
interests of the United States. so they
persevered, and you are beginning to
feel the impetus of the growing move
ment. Our association now numbers
425 MEMBERS, and the value of our
flocks reaches into the millions, there
being more than 10000 Angoras on
our association records. We have suf-
hcient stock to proceed with, thanks
to the years of patient work of the
AnGora pioneers, and. as Secretary
Wilson has said, THE Angora in
dustry is an American institution which
has come to stay"

FARMERS TRUST
ADVOCATED BY HUGHES.
Speaker Denounced Cotton SpecuIa'
ton as Injury to Growers.

Speaker Denounced Cotton Specula-
ton as Injury to Growers.
Griffin, Ga, Oct. 4.-Hon. Dudley
Hughes, president of the State Agri-
cultural Society, addressed the farm
ers of Spalding county yesterday on
the subject of organization of farm
ers on business principles. He said
that one of the greatest insults that
could be offered the farmers was to
affirm that they could not be organ
lied on business principles for it was
an insinuation that they were not men
of brains He declared the statement
false and said that there was as much
brains employed in agricultural pur-
suits as permeates the business trans
actions of Wall street or any under
taking in life.
He said the farmers had not taken
the interest in organizations pertain
ing to their welfare that they should
have done, but they were awakening
to the necessity of doing so. Georgia,
the empire state of the South at the
beginning of the present year, had but
one farmers institute within its do
mains, but by the first of next Janu-
airy there would be forty-four.
In speaking of trusts he said the very
word was damnable to his hearers,
but If there ever was an occasion
where there should be one it was when
the farmers should organize a trust
not to annihilate, but to build up an
industry which was the backbone of
the country.
He said that speculation in cotton
was injurious to the farmers of the
Southland, as the spectators could
raise the price IT'S points in twenty
four hours and bring it down 200 points
during the next twenty-four hours. He
declared this evil could be overcome
by the organizat ton of the farmers,
and when that was accomplished TO-
000,0 900 bales of cotton would not be
thrown on the market in ninety days.

The sneed Peach.

This variety originated in Tennessee.
and has been in cultivation about a
dozen years. 1t is said to have come
from pit of the Chinese cling, and
is accordingly a Clingstone variety.
Its chief value consists in it's earli-
ness. 1t is one of the most profitable
of its class, being larger and a better
quality than the Alexander and other
extra early kinds.
Those who grow it are able to put
the fruit into market before standard
kinds are ripe. and thus secure the
cream of local markets. 1t is not a
long keeper The fruit is of medium
size, about 2x2 inches: form, roundish
oval, slightly one-sided; skin. light;
greenish white with red cheek, and
short, thick down. The cavity is mar
row and deep, with small pointed apex
and slight depression.
The flesh is yellow!sh- white at ma
turity, tender, juicy and with mild
but lively flavor. 1t ripens the last
of July. The Sneed, is a profitable
variety for home market, but hardly
firm enough for distant shipment

LITTLE DELAY TO
NEW ORLEANS.
Mr.. ROurke Says He VIII Have the
ship Ready Nearly on Time.

MIR. ROurke Says He VIII Have the
ship Ready Nearly on Time.
The steamship New Orleans of the
Merchants and Miners Line, which
was in danger from the fire will not
be delayed more than a day, Mr..
Rourke said last night
The steamship was dropped down some
distance below the marine railway, out
of reach of the fire. Part of her engines
were in the boiler shop and on the
wharf outside of the shop. The cranks
and the new shaft were beyond the
reach of fire. The pattern for a truss
to support the shaft had just been
finished and the casting would have
been made to-day or tomorrow. This
was burned and a new pattern will
have to be made. While this is be-
ing done, the other work of putting the
shaft in the vessel will be going on and
the delay will be slight.
Mr.. Rourke said he did not think the
piston heads, connecting rods and other
parts of the engines were damaged so
that they cannot be used.

Apropos TO our remarks last week
we quote the following from the Flor
ida Agriculturst;
Doubtless to every orchardist the
question has often presented itself, is
it worth while to try to raise figs in
Florida? Will it pay to try to grow
a tree in a country where it is evil
IDENTIFY not at home? DeCandolle says
the fig is indigenous from Syria to
the Canary Islands, while Count
Solms-L aubach confines the nativity
of the fig to the countries on the Per-
sian Gulf.
FLORIDA is sub-tropical and warm
enough to suit the fig, and it would do
fairly we'll here if ii were not for the
winter winds which blow down from
the continent and chill it so that it
dies to- the ground, for it is one OF the
tenderest of fruit trees when young.
1t is about as tender as the pineapple,
and come into bearing almost as
quickly again after being frozen down.
But it's fruit is far from being as
transportable as the pine; as fresh
fruit il scarcely comes within the
category of marketable fruits at all.
Its delicate skin is frayed and broken
even in the brief journey to Tampa or
to Jacksonville, and il is one of the
quickest fruits to sour and spoil.
1T ripens it's principal crop in the
rainy season when curing would be
practicable only by kiln-drying. 1t
can not be marketed fresh except IN
a precarious way; 1t can not be dried;
it can only be consumed at home or
preserved by canning.
THE fig is a very rich saccharine
fruit. and very nourishing the hardy,
long enduring dragomans and coolies
of the Orient perform hard labor and
make long journeys on a diet of lump
figs alone But il is not a desirable
fruit for the bilious climate of Florida;
il is too rich and sugary to be whole
some. Oranges, grapefruit and pine
apples with some spirit are better for
food in this climate. We count ii not
at all unfortunate for Florida that
dates and figs are so unsuccessful in
our soil and climate. Even the Japan
persimmon of some of the best varie-
ties. is preferable to the fig for eating
out of hand or as a table fruit for
they have fine and high spirit at
base, a material for choice cider or
vinegar.
1T is unjust to pronounce against
any fruit tree because it is occasion
ally or even frequently cut to the
ground by frost, for that rule would
include the orange. the pomelo and
even the peach. AS we said before,
Florida is as warm as the lands
where the fig is indigenous; but on
account of her subsection to occasional
cold winds which are totally foreign
to her own proper climate, the fig is
manifestly not at home here.
ut grows we'll in dry climates like
California, Egypt and Syria: it viii
thrive on sandy lands. as has been
shown in Africa and Australia on the
south coast. II is to be commended
in places where 1t is desired to raise
masses of. tree vegetation in wide
treeless regions of the warmer coun-
tries. Hence the extensive plantations

The President on the Monroe Doctrine

The President on the Monroe Doctrine.
For the first set address of his 14,0C0
mile tour of the great West, President
Roosevelt took the Monroe Doctrine as
his text. What he said upon this i'm
portant theme at Chicago, yesterday,
is found elsewhere in our telegraph
columns. and should be read by every
citizen. The President is undoubtedly
right in declaring that the immense
majority of his fellow citizens earnestly
believe in the Monroe Doctrine, and
yet most people have confused IDEAS
regarding it's history, it's scope and its
responsibility. His address puts the
whole thing in plain and unmis-
taxable terms. He dwells particularly
upon the Monroe Doctrine as involved
isthmian canal by this country, and
shows how the recent notable triumphs
of American diplomacy have strength
ened this doctrine before the world.
Having defined the Monroe Doctrine
and shown it's importance to this
country and the whole of America, the
President drives home with charac-
teristic vigor the point that we must
have not only the will but the
strength also to make it effective. A
thoroughly efficient navy is an absolute
necessity of the present and the future
and there must be no let-up in the
present naval policy of our govern
ment. The Chicago speech of Presi-
dent Roosevelt is replete with virile
Americanism. 1t breathes The strenu-
Gus spirit that makes America love
the man and fills the foreign world
with such wholesome respect for him.
