EIGHT HUNDRED FOR AMERICA
Receipts Yesterday Were Heaviest
of Season.

Eight hundred bales cotton were
marketed at Americus warehouses yes.
terday, receipts being heavier than for
any single day this season. It was a
snowy tide that swept through muddy
roads to Americus.
And tide of golder>tinge followed
that of the white.
1t was the busiest day in cotton cir
Giles here since last October, the unex-
pectedly heavy receipts surprising even
those who counted on large busin ess.
But for the downpour of RAIN the
thousand mark might have been
reached easily.
A great deal of cotton was picked
during the past week ard farmers are
getting it to market as fast as possible.
There is little disposition to hold, and
present prices are getting the crop
now picked.
Ten and three. quarter cents was the
ruling figure yesterday.
This was a quarter cent off Friday 3
prices, but the contract mark ct has de-
cIined heavily sInce then. Even now
Americas is raging Savannah prices
for cotton.
And the 800 bales sold yesterday
started a golden tide here.
III all the cotton marketed yesterday
was sold it meant that $43 900 was put
into the channels of trade in Americas
Iudeed, large portion of the lot was
sold, as evidenced by the inc -eased
trade,
For thousands of people followed the
cotton bales here, and filled the stores
all day The streets were thronged
until late at night,
Up to date Americus has already re
ceived over 2. 800 bales of the new CT OPP,
and by September lst. the total will
easily exceed 5000 bales. This is
heavy receipts for August, perhaps the
heaviest in many years.
Altogether, Americus is assured a
prosperous and very successful cotton
year.

SENDS MORGAN TO AMERlcus.
Another Citizen of Webster County
Jailed Here,

Jailed Here.
W. S. Morgan, we'll known resident
of Richland, was brought to Americas
yesterday afternoon along with Bill
Ellis, the negro murderer, and both
are now held in the Sumter Jail for safe
keeping.
The Times~Recorder of Friday told
of the arrest of Mr.. Morgan upon the
charge of murder.
The arrest was based largely upon
the confession made by Bill Ellis who
killed Joe Phillips, another negro, two
weeks ago today at a campmeeting
near Preston.
Ellis declared that Mr.. Morgan hired
him to kill Phillips.
Hence the charge of murder prefer
red against Morgan. He was given a
commitment trial yesterday at Preston
before justice of the peace and com.
mitted without bail until the October
term of court
mr J. B. Hudson, of Americas, re
presented the state at the hearing,
taking the place of Solicitor General
Hooper, who is still i'll.
Tt is said that the defendant intro
duced no testimony, nor did he make
statement at the hearing yesterday.
The nature of the evidence given
against him at the trial yesterday is
not known here.
The charge of similar nature against
his brother, Frank Morgan, was dis
missed at the instance of Mr., Hudson
yesterday, evidence against him being
insufficient.
Mr.. W. s. Morgan will be held ere
until the next session of Webster SUI
per1or court.
He is a brother of Henry Morgan,
convicted of the crime of burning the
town Of Preston, and cousin of Sid
ney Harrell, who is charged with the
same crime and who has long been in
the Americus Jail.
Phillips, the negro killed by Ellis.
was witness against Henry Morgan at
his trial, hence the supposed incentive
for the killing,

church at Fairfield, and lady of his
congregation, both of whom were in
attendance upon the state meeting of
the Christian denomination then in
session in Abba, came up the branch
as far as Tracy and. occupied the
same room over night. When this
was "judiciously circulated" by dame
gossip, as a fact the parties became
aware thereof and Rev. Adams asked
for an investigation The committee
appointed by church authorities was
Rev. d. A. Wickizer, of Bloomfield,
Rev. B. S. Denning, of Des Moines,
and Rev. F. i. Moffett, of Centerville.
These gentlemen met and heard
testimony both personal and by depo-
sition that defendant was not guilty
as charged of occupying room at the
@. (Sweem) Hotel in Tracy June 20,
1904, with anyone. He was therefore

was in town. He was not, but anoth.
er man who could speak the Finnish

spoke to the lady He explained to
her that she would be brought to her
destination. After this she appeared
to be satisfied and got in the buggy
with w. G. Fryer, who took her to
White City. The lady was very much
frightened and at times it was very
pathetic and other times was very
amusing, as every time anyone said
anything to her she would open her
pocketbook and offer to give them
money. She probably heard of the

thought that money was what it took

slack under the switch tracks, setting
fire to one of the cars on the track
and, rapidly spreading to the main
building of the mine.
The mine was recently PURCHASED
byA the Carbondale Fuel company, \

LABOR DAY PROCLAMATION
BY GOVERNOR CUMMINS

Des Moines, Aug. Is. Governor
Cummins has issued a proclamation
for the observance Of Labor Day,
which comes on September 5 this
year. The governor calls attention to
the supreme dignity of labor and says
that it behooves the state to pause in
its commercial enterprise for that
day to review the achievements Of
labor during the past year and to con
template the promises of the future.
The document follows:
A Proclamation.
The general assembly of the state
of Iowa has declared that the first
Monday of the month Of September
Of each year shall be public holiday
and by express provision has named
it Labor Day" This legislative ac-
ton grew out Of deep appreciation
of the modern struggle for the better
ment of Industrial life and recogni-
ton Of the obvious fact that the
safety Of free institutions depends in
large measure upon the welfare of
the workingmen and workingwomen
Of the land. The legislation to which
reference has been made is an i'm
piled approval Of the efforts of organ
lied labor for better wages and better
conditions, but it is also an implied
command that whatsoever is done
must be done under the law and in
harmony with the spirit of good gov
eminent. There can be no permanent
Improvement save that which pro
ceeds in an orderly way. The injus-

tice repaired by force multiplies It.
self. The problems which have APP
peared in the new phases Of the rela-
tions between the employers and the
employed should be the themes both
of discussion and reflection on La
Dor Day" to the end that a better I'M
derstanding of the rights of each may
be created.
At such time it is also fitting to
remember how much has been accom-
plisned in giving dignity to labor and
happiness and content to laborers.
To recall the advances made and to
note how they have been made win
help all the people to a truer lnowl-
edge of the forces which are carry
ing our civilization forward.
Therefore, /, Albert B. Cummins,
governor of the State Of Iowa. do most
earnestly recommend that the day
above named, being the 5th day of
September, A. d. 1904, be observed,
not by workingmen alone, but by all
citizens Of the commonwealth, in such
manner and by such ceremonies as
are most appropriate and effective to
make the spirit Of the holiday a part
of the life of the people.
In witness whereof, I have hereun-
to set my hand and caused to be af-
fixed the great seal OF the state.
Done at Des Moines this 18th day OF
August, 1904.
Albert B. Cummins.
