FIRST BALE OF COTTON
RECORDS BROKEN BY GENEVA
COUNTY FARMER.
staple Received I'm Montgomery Holds
Distinction Over All Previous
Achievements--Was Sold for
10 Cents Pound,

All previous records were broken
yesterday when the first bale of this
seasons cotton was received in Mont
gomery and was sold at auction. The
earliest bale of cotton ever received
here before came in on July 30.
The bale received yesterday not on
ly broke the record for the Montgom-
cry market but 1t broke the States re-
cord for early cotton. 1t was grown
in Geneva county and was marketed
at Hartford on July 26, which is declar-
ed to be the earliest that any grower
of cotton in Alabama has ever sent a
bale to market.
A company which manufactures fer
tilizers used by the farmer who grew
this cotton purchased the first bale
through p. NJ. Metcalfe of Hartford
paying Is is cents a pound for 1t.
The bale was shipped to. Marks and
Gayle of Montgomery arriving here
yesterday 1t weighs 452 pounds and
classed middling.
Yesterday morning the new cotton
bale was sold at auction in the Office Of
a broker and Notwithstanding the rul-
ing price for middling cotton in Mont
gomery yesterday was 10 5-16 the bale
was bought in by Marks and Gayle for
10 cents. But one other bid, 8 cents.
was offered.
The lack of bidders for the new cot
ton was remarked upon by brokers and
no explanation was made other than
the suggestions that little interest was
manifested, due to the fact that the
cotton was not produced in what is
known as Montgomery territory.
For some years a keen rivalry has
existed between Montgomery and Au-
tauga and Elmore county farmers as
to who would market the first bale
of cotton. j, A. Wilkinson of Autau-
ga county has won the distinction sew
eraI times and last year he scored an
even victory with Moses McLemore of
Montgomery count, both of them get
tingf their cotton to market on the
same day, August "a.
According to the records new cotton
bales have been marketed In Montgom-
cry as early as July but four times in
So years. In 1882 bale was received
here July 80 which sold for 33 cents;
July 81, 1888, bale was received which
sold for 10 cents; July 80, 1896 bale
was received which sold for 12 cents
and July 81, 1902 u bale was received
which sold for 10 cents.

THE NEW PEST HOUSE
CITY PLANNING FOR MODERN
EMERGENCY HOSPITAL.
Mayor and Committeemen Visit Cald-
well Property ON Upper Wetump-
ka .Road-Detention Ward
TO be q Feature.

With a view of Investigating the
needs OF the city in the construction of
the new buildings ito supplant those
used as an emergency hospital and
DESTROYED by fire some weeks ago,
Mayor Thomas Fl. Carr, City Engineer
d. w. Ford, Chief Clerk ]. j. Farley
of the Sanitary Department, Aldermen
Maddox, league, Coins, Gunter and
Ryan, members of the joint committee
on Sanitation and Public Works visited
the Caldwell property on the Upper
Wetumpka Road yesterday afternoon
and spent some time in looking over
the ground.
The purpose of the visit to this
property which was recently purchased
by the city, was to make immediate
preparations for the erection of the
new buildings as the one building now
in service is inadequate. Winter is
approaching when smallpox is great
deal more prevalent than in summer
and 1t was decided that early steps
should be taken to cope with the situa-
ton before the cold weather.
The party practically decided on the
location of three new houses and as
soon as survey is made and the plans
for the buildings are prepared. the
work on them, will begin. 1t is ex-
pecteu tnat the OullulnSS Will De ready
for occupancy by October 1st. They
are to be large roomy houses and will
be fitted up with every modern con-
venience for the comfort of the
patients. One house will be for white
people and another will be used as q
ward for negroes.
In speaking of the proposed improve.
mtnts, Mayor Carr said yesterday after
noon after he had returned from the
trip to the hospital grounds, that the
entire place would be a great improve.
ment over the former institution. A
feature to be added. he said, was a de-
tention ward where suspects could be
held without throwing them directly
in contact with patients suffering from
genuine cases of smallpox. The build
ings will be one story in height and
will be well built and nicely furnished
When the proposed work is complet.
ed. the emergency hospital will be a
credit to the city in contrast with the
former hospital which was badly out OF
date for such purposes.
City Engineer D. W. Ford will begin
Immediately preparing the plans and
work Is expected to- begin In a few
weeks on the new buildings. The
grounds will also receive the atten-
ton of landscape gardener and the
place will be made as attractive as pos.
