ONLY ONE CASE IN THE CITY.
No Danger of Any Spread of MaIady
Here,

The fact that one slight case of
smallpox was developed here last Sat-
urday causes not the least fear or un-
easiness in the city, due to the fact
that this one patient has been isolated
at the hospital, mile Iawsy.
Citizens do not fear at all any spread
of the disease here.
In fact, the prompt, effective meas
ures always taken by the city authori-
ties in such cases of contagious illness
renders spread improbable.
Besides, .every man, woman and
child, white AID black, in Americus,
was vaccinated two or three years ago,
and there has not been another case OF
smallpox since until a negro had ii
here some six weeks ago.
He had been working in Albany, and
contracted the disease there.
Many citizens, however, to be on
the safe side, have recently barred
their arms to the vaccine point, and no
compulsory order will be needed.
DR.. Thomas, city physician, and Po-
lice Chief Fesgin were out at the hos.
pital yesterday, where every thing
about the new and comfortable build.
ing is in good order for the reception
OF any patients who may go there.
A telephone was put in at the hospi
tai yesterday morning.
This disease is prevalent over the
state, many towns having hundreds
of cases but saying little about 1T.
Americus has one case, now we'll iso.
lated. She hopes this will be the only
case, and states the facts thus plainly.
Neither, smallpox, diptheria OF
scarlet fever can get hold here, a.
has boen dem onstrated.

NEWS STAMPEDE
TERRIFIED BEAR.
Market Climbing to Heights
Again.
RuLLIsH THE clNNERs REPORT.
Which Puts the Crop to Date at Only
3,S4S,0oo Bales-Market Jumped
Nearly a Hundred Points When Re-
port is Posted.

With a whoop King Cotton bounded
again into the saddle yesterday lwhen
the Ginners Report was published,
aud with leaps and bounds the mon
arch climbed the heights from which
he was driven by the shear" onslaught
a few days ago AS phenomenal the
decline recently, even more so the
rapid gam in prices yesterday.
Eight million, eight hundred and
forty thousand bales. Such was the
Ginners Report for December, as sent
out yesterday morning by the Govern
ment bureau. A very low estimate.
And INN ediately the cotton market
bounded cent pound.
Neili's latest estimate" of crop of
eleven and q quarter million bales,
about as accurate as any estimate
of like nature made by Johnny Low
low, the king of clowns, was received
with the derision it we'll merited in the
cotton exchanges and other places
where people know better and where
they also know poor old NeilJ, the cot
ton crop miseer.
Many fakes were attempted by the
frig htened bears to Offset the effect it
was expected the Gnners' report
would have upon the market.
But people who wanted cotton had
no faith in the fakirs
Since Monday morning the market
has advanced 113 points, yesterday g
advance alone being very nearly hun
dred points. Americas cotton men
were delighted at the advance and are
again predicting l5c and even 20 cents
cotton. The Ginners Report is con-
sldered by the cotton trade more re-
liable than any other.
Little cotton was offered IN Ameri-
Gus yesterday, though good grades
would easily have brought thirteen
cents or even more.

MOST IMPRESSIVE
The OBSEQUIES,
Americas Pays a Beautiful
Tribute.
IN MEMORY OF VERA cooLssY.
Funeral the Most Pathetic Ever Wit
messed in Americus-First Baptist
Church is Crowded-Scene a Very
Touching One.

"Come unto Me all ye who. labor and
are heavy laden, and I will give you
rest
Thus spoke the minister yesterday
when, as the soft notes of the organ
died away he arose to pay tribute to
the fair young girl resting in flower
covered casket of white before him.
And the sobs of a vast concourse
echoed the words thus spoken by this
good man of God, likewise deeply af-
fected.
Annericus has never witnessed a
scene identical to this, one so fraught
with grief and sorrow. An entire COM
munity thus paid tribute to one who
was loYed by ssll.
And as the words of the minister,
Rev. j. P. Wardlaw, fell like a bene-
diction upon this vast concoursel as
sembled at First Baptist Church yes.
terday afternoon, hundreds who knew
and loved Vera Goolsby looked again
upon the white casket and gave way to
silent grief at her tragic death.
The spacious church, seating 1,0OC
people, was filled to it's capacity while
hun ireds stood without the sanctuary.
Toe concourse in waiting at Oak
grove cemetery was even larger.
Rarely has such tribute been paid
one here, evidencing as it did the love
il which this young girl was held by
the people generally.
As the white velvet covered coffin
was borne into the church, followed by
the family and honorary pallbearers,
eight young girl friends of the deceas-
ed, the scene brought tears TO the eyes
of hundreds there. AS the funera
party entered the choir sang "Nearer
My God to Thee
Following fervent and beautiful
invocation Mr.. Abbott Wootten sane
''Lead Kindly Light" his rich baritone
voice filling the large auditorium.
Seated within the chancel we're Rev.
J. P. Wardlaw, pastor First Methodist
church, Rev. R, Il. Neighbor, of First
Baptist, Rev. j. L. Irwin, of First
Presbyterian, Rev. E. M. OVERLY, Of
st. Paul's, and Rev. R. L. Bivlns OIL
Furlow Lawn Baptist church, taking
part in the impressive exercises.
Upon the conclusion of the service,
and as the funeral party left the church,
the choir sang ''Never Alone!" which
was the favorite hymn of the now still
and silent little figure. The cortege
then moved on to Oak Grove cemetery
where the final tribute was paid and
the little white coffin consigned to the
silence of the grave.
Americas has never known a sadde1
funeral than this one.
AS a further mark of respect, the
public schools of the city suspended
exerc Uses at noon that the hundreds O:
pupils might attend the funeral of their
former loyed schoolmate.

Labor Commissioner Decides In Favor
Of Coal Barons.

Of Coal Barons.
Scranton, Jan. 14.-Carroll D. Wright,
the umpire appointed by Judge Gray,
chairman Of the Anthracite Strike
Commission, to decide the Saturday
half-doliday question IN the Schuylkill
region, has decided against the men.
The miners recent the decisi0n They
say every point submitted to the La
Dor Commissioner has been invariably
decided against them. For many years
previous to the recent big strike they
enjoyed the Saturday half holiday,
and they believe they should still be
allowed it.
When the matter was submitted to
the Cancellation Board the miners rep
resentatives on the board voted in
favor of the holiday and the operat-
ors' representatives against it. There
was a deadlock, and Wright was ap-
pointed umpire.
There has been much dissatisfaction
among the miners with Wright as um-
pire, and his latest decision is certain
to make him more unpopular. The
board is now deadlocked on five mat
ters, and is about to ask Judge Gray
for an umpire to decide them If he
reappolnts Mr.. Wright there will be a
storm.

MITCHELL TALKS ON
IMMIGRATION QUESTION

Pittsburg, Jan. 14.-John Mitchell,
president of the United Mine Workers
Union, says on the immigration ques-
ton: Immigration should be restrict
ed much more than now. No matter
how decent and self respecting and
hard-working the Aliens who are flood
ing this country, may be, they are in
vading the land Of Americans, and
whether they know it or not, are help
ing to take the bread out of their
mouths. America for Americans should
be the motto of every citizen, whether
he be a Workingman Or a capitalist.
There are already too many aliens in
this country. There is not enough
work for the many millions of unskill-
ed 1aborers, and there is no need for
the added millions who are pressing
into our cities and towns to compete
with the skilled American in his var
ious trades and occupations. While the
majority of the immigrants are not
skilled workmen. they rapidly become
so and their competition is not of stim-
ulating order.
