Georgia,

In Sumter county, as throughout the
state, the farmers have prospered this
year. and their success. has brought
prosperity to those in other lines of
business. This condition is reflected
daily in the business interests of Amer

is from year to year demonstrating the
adapsabilIty of his soil and climate to
the production of all the staple crops
He finds the light gray soil susceptible

much as can be produced with the same

No Improvement in Condition of the
Market,

The desperate attempt of King Cot
ton to get upon his feet again yester-
day resulted in failure and the "bears"
are still after the scalp of the hoary old
monarch. Futures changed bat little,
prices receedIng few points after the
opening; although Americus buyers
continued to pay nine cents for good
cotton and many bales went at that
even figure. There is still considera-
bic cotton in the country to be market
ed, but it is hardly probable that pres
ent prices will bring it in. A gentle
men riding out in the country near
Americas day or two ego saw many
bales packed and stored away; one, two

farms as many as dozen bales were
seen. But this cotton represents clear
surplus, the profit on last years work,
and it will Lot go at nine cents.
