many generations On the day of tbs

THE FLEEcY TIDE IS ROLLING
Hundreds of Bales Pour into Americas

Yesterday.
King Cotton held another carnival
in Americas yesterday when from
Sumter and nearly dozen other coun-
ties of southwestern Georgia the feecy
tide flowed strongly this way, filing
the streets with cotton bales which
were quickly turned into money.
For Yester lay proved one of the best
OF the many "best days" of the season,
and in cotton warehouse circles there
was great activity.
Warehouse receipts of wagon bales
the kind sold here-rau we'll above
the seven hundred mark.
The fine weather has acceIer ate
picking, and the crop Is being marketed
faster than ever known before. Amer
icus has received already very near
10000 bales by wagon, which figure,
generally, is not reached until late in
October, or along in November.
Just such favorable conditions were
never before known here.
But while the farmer and warehouse
men are thus favored, the railroads and
exporters at the ports are catching II,
because of the inability to get cotton
to the ships side.
Congresses in a half dozen states
are overwhelmed by the unexpectedly
heavy movement, as are the railroads,
and double work and double trains are
strained to the end of relieving the
great congestion of cotton back in the
interior
Ships are awaiting cargoes at Savan-
nah. and exporters will lose heavily by
the delay.

A Habit Stanley Had.

It was remarked of the late Sir II.
NJ. Stanley, during his last visit to
New York, that he stood all the time
with his back to the wall during re-
ceptions, instead of standing out
where people would pass behind him.
Lady Stanley laughingly explained
that this was an old habit contracted
in Africa; that Stanley always stood
with his back against a tree or a bar
ricade when brought In contact with
the savages, and it had become such
a habit with him that he took that po-
sition no matter where he was.
