SHORT CROP BUT MORE MONEY
Such is Opinion of Commissioners
Stevens.

To the end of ascertaining exactly
the crop conditions in the cotton states
at this date the warehouse firm of
Council, Parker & Go. wired Commits
sioner 0. B. Stevens to secure such
information from the several state
commissioners at the firms expense,
and wire the result at once to the
Americus firm.
The AmerIcus warehousemen desire
to know the exact condition of the crop
today-not what it was on the 18th.
of September. So far they have heard
nothing from Mr.. Stevens, who has
been away from Atlanta recently.
If the crop is going to be as short as
reported, they want to know it-now.
Mr.. Stevens estimates the Georgia
crop this year at 1,O76, 900 bales. In
an interview in the Savannah Press
yesterday, Mr.. Stevens says further
regarding the crop prospect here.
'"The crop is short, Notwithstanding
the increased acreage. ''But if the
present prices hold the farmers will
receive more money for their cotton
than they did last year. AS a short
crop costs less tosgather, the farmers
will have more money to their credit
at the end of the season than in some
years past.
cit is impossible to say what per-
centage of the crop has been marketed
up to now, but so far the farmers have
been rushing the picking with all pos
sible speed, and have in addition got
ten the cotton to market as quickly as
possible, as the price has been such as
to attract them.
SIN north and middle Georgia the
crop Is just beginning to be marketed,
while in south Georgia the farmers
have been selling cotton steadily for
the past five weeks. In the present
state of the crop an early frost will
mean that it Will be less than the fig
ures named, which are based upon an
average open winter.
The farmers are in good spirits at
the prices obtained so far, and I look
for general prosperity in fhe state for
all classes as result OF the good fnan-
cial condition of tho tillers of the soil. -

HUsrLINc FOR OUTSIDE TRADE
Merchants of Live Town Adopt Such
Means

The merchants of wide-awake Geor-
gia city within a hundred miles of
Americus have adopted a novel and
successful plan of encouraging trade
to come their way by paying the
railroad fare of all shoppers who buy
a stipulated amount. A free railroad
ticket will be given every customer
who comes to trade, on basis of one
dollars worth of goods bought for
every mile travelled. For instance, "a
shopper coming distance of twenty
miles will have his or her railroad
fare paid both ways by trading 500
worth. The customer will not be re-
uired to trade the entire amount with
one merchant, but may divide the bust
ness with all of the houses entering in
to the plan. About thirty-fve whole
sale and retail firms have so far joined
In the movement, which is regarded as
one of much Importance.

RAILROAD WILL BE EXTENDED.
From CordeIe to HawkinsviIIe and
Jacksonville.

Mr.. r. A. Hooper. of Americus,
counsel for the Albany & Northern
Railway, returned yesterday from At
lanta, where he went to procure an
amendment of charter of that plucky
little road, now successfully operated
from Albany to Cordele.
But it is proposed to put bigger
clothes on this bautling road.
The owners desire to extend the
line for a hundred miles or more, and
it was necessary to secure an amend
ment of charter ere this work could be
prosecuted.
The Albany & Northern is to be ex-
tended at once from Cordele to Haw-
kinsyile and thence to Jacksonville
in Twiggs county. In time the A. & n.
may go even further, perhaps entering
Macon, as the remaining distance is
very short,
OF course this.further extension is a
surmise, but the Albany & Northern is
going ON to Hawkinsviile and Jeffer-
sonvile at once.

COUNCIL AND BOARD TANGLED.
Spirited Controversy is on Between
Them.

A lively 'issoo" pending between
the city council and members of the
board of education, either individually
or collectively, has grown out of the &C.
ton of the council recently in filing a
vacancy on the school board for an un-
expired term.
The kick is upon mere techicality,
but it is vigorous one.
Some members of the school board
feel that this vacancy IN their board
should not have been filed until coun-
Gil was Officially" notified of the fact
of its existence.
Several weeks ago Mr.. J, T Stall
lIngs, member of the school board,
removed to Birmingham, Ala. Mem
bers of the city council were aware of
this fact, and at the regular meeting a
week ago Mr.. G. W. Glover was duly
elested to the vacancy.
And members of the school board
have taken umbrage thereat.
Mr.. Glover has been assured that
there is no feeling of antagonlsm te-
wards him; that for him, personally,
the school board members entertain
the highest regard, but at the same
time they will oppose him for the res'
son above stated.
A technical reason, wholly, but q
valid one, they think.
Their idea is that council should
have deferred action in the premises
until Officially" notified by the school
board of the existence of vacancy
thereupon.
The council, most asspredly, intend
ed no sffront to the other honorable
body, and the differences are regretted
Mr.. Glover may or may not accept the
proffered honor, but certain it is hs
would make an excellent member o
the board.
As a former member Of the city
council and member of the schoo
board, he is in position to render ex
cellent service.
