In National Convention of the Repub
leans.
It is quite likely that one of the two
delegates to the republican national
convention will be a we'll known
Americus man, as efforts to that end
are being made and with excellent
chances of success. The district con-
vention, as already stated in the Times.
Recorder, meets in MarshallvilIe next
Saturday to select delegates to both
the state and national conventions,
and an Americus man, as stated, may
be named for the Chicago meeting as
one of the two delegates from the
Third congressional district. State
Chairman Johnson says that from all
the information he can gather, the
state convention will send q solid dee
cation to Chicago for Roosevelt. He
says that the Republicans of Georgia
know of no other candidates for the
presidency, and believe that Roose-
velt's name will be the only one pre-
sented to the convention in Chicago
for the nomination.

Sheriff Bell received telegram yes
terday from Decatur county inquiring
the number of warrants issued here
against G. A. Scott, charged with the
offense of larceny after trust, dele.
gated, and the amount of bonds re
quired. From this telegram il was in
ferred by the officers here that Scott
was in cambridge, and the informa-
ton desired was quickly furnished.
Nothing further was heard during the
afternoon. The bond required under
each of the two warrants issued here
at the instance of local merchants is
$3.50, which can easily be given. The
Scott bankruptcy case comes up at
Macon this morning and the result is
awaited with no little interest in
Americus, particularly among Scott's
numerous creditors here. Several of
these will be present when the case is
called in Judge Speer's court today.

.STUPENDOuS THE
JUMP YESTERDAY,
Plungers in Americas Again
Got Next.
THE MARKET AS IT ADVANCED,
July Cotton Went Above Fifteen
Gents, While Spots in Americus
Sold Close to That Fieure-HoIders
After Even Money.

Fifteen cents for July cotton was
the point reached yesterday by the
steadily climbing market. Everybody
in Americus 'just knew it was COM
ing" and there were many az told you
SOS" heard here after the staple finally
touched the highest point reached
since 1870.
Not in nearly thirty five years has
the price of cotton reached this fabn-
lous figure-fifteen cents.
But it has touched there at last and
is going even higher. Seventeen cents
is the limit fixed by the "bulls" now
controlling the market, and the staple
will soon bring that price.
In the Americus market yesterday
sales were few and far apart. There ie
quite good deal of cotton held here al
10 cents and nothing less is going to
move it. The highest spot sales yes
terday were al 144 to 14a-not quite
high enough to get this cotton.
Several farmers yesterday said they
would be perfectly willing to get out al
Is cents but not at any lower figure,
and accordingly fixed the limit on theil
goodly bales at that price.
Men who haYe been In the cotton
business all of their lives marvel at the
situation and shake their heads wher
asked for an opinion. The belief il
freely expressed that cotton will gC
two cents per pound higher before
summer, and on legitimate basis.
It is not speculation alone that ie
putting up the price now.
Mills are short of actual cotton, and
buyers do not confine themselves
strictly to market quotations wher
good cotton is offered.
And the man behind the contract il
doing some business here as we'll az
the holder of the actual cotton. Amer.
icus plungers have probably cleared a
hundred thousand dollars recently and
not q few 'got out" yesterday with
handsome sums to their credit.
It is indeed an ill wind that blows no

Porter Is Mentioned
for Governor of
NeW York.
speeial Dispatch % The can.

CALL BUREAU, HOTEL BARTON,
WASHINGTON April 5.-Among the
interesting rumors passed around
among administration Senators in the
marble room to-day was one that Cen
eral Horace Porter, ambassador to
France, would be urged for Repub-
lican candidate fer Governor of New
York. 1t was said that if Mr.. Root,
the former Secretary of War, could not
be induced to stand for the Governor
ship. General Porter might be brought
forward as an alternative proposition.
1t is now regarded as practically GER
tain that Mr.. Root will be either per-
manent or temporary chairman of the
Republican National Convention at
Chicago. and he is known to have said
that after that he wished to retire from
politics completely and devote his at
tention to the practice of law. Friends
of the President here are very much
gratified to find such strong sentiment
among New York Republicans in favor
of Mr.. Root for the Governship, but
they fear that, however great the pres
sure, he may feel compelled to decline
to run. In this event the first alterna-
tive heard of in Washington is General
Porter, and it is believed that the sug-
gestion meets the approval of the sup
pcrters of the administration
Should General Porter become a can
didate he would, of course, resign his
position as ambassador to France.
