ThOmasviIIe to Vote on Means for
Securing Them.
Thomasville Ga, Oct. 1O.-One month
from to-day the people of Thomas
vile will vote on two questions of
local interest. The official orders for
the elections appeared this morning. A
proposed bond issue of 1000 for the

fication. A proposition to borrow $685.

plant here is under private ownership
and rental of $500 for the city lights
is paid, the parties interested in the
proposition, want the city to own it's
plant, and to apply the present rental
and such profits as may accure to the
payment of the debt incurred. There

J. s. BACHE & CO.'S
Daily Cotton Letter to Hayward,
Wick & Co.

New York, Oct. 1O.-W. P. Brown
was credited with being a heavy buy
er of the winter months at the open
ing. Leading bears sold, however, and
with smaller long taking profits, the
demand was pretty well filled during
the forenoon trading, with prices hold
ing steady within a few points of the
opening figures, and then working up
slowly, with the demand improving,
until shortly after midday January
was about II points net higher.
Private advice from Liverpool this
morning reported continued prosperous
conditions in Manchester, and also
states that the South was offering less
literally, thus confirming to some ex-
tent the recent reports from various
sources that interior holders were not
willing to sell freely below 10c
We don't look for any runaway mar
ket, but think cotton is a purchase on
all shar0 breaks.

 Centreville. Aug. 9.-(SpeciaL)- What came very near being a whole sale jail delivery occurred here late yesterday afternoon.
 Sheriff Crawford had seventeen prisoners confined in the county jail at this place and during the day they were allowed to take exercise in the Nolie Woodie and his brother Frank Woodie, who were confined in jall charged with burglary, unlocked the door leading into the jail yard. and made good their escape. In a few moments all the prisoners desiring to escape would have done so, but Hugh Watson, white man charged with murder in the first degree on seeing the situation, rushed into the yard, got long piece of. iron piping, came back into the jail, closed the door and kept any more prisoners from escaping. The alarm was given, but the prisoners who had escaped could not be found.
 About 10 o'clock Harrison SplaWn, farmer living about four miles onrth of town discovered that two prisoners were riding away from his place on one of his mules. He gave chase and found that the two negroes who had escaped from pail in the afternon had stolen tho mule. He ordered them to stop. but they did not dc so, and he fired upon them with a pistol. One of the negroes was struck in the knee by bullet and was captured, brought to Centerville and placed in jail. The wound is not serious. The other negro escaped, but is being hotly pursued
