The feeling in the cotton market yea.
terday was of continued strength and
irmness, as on the day previous, and
while some sales were made by Ameri-
Gus factors at 1O4 cents, the ruling
price yesterday was 1O8 cents Res
ceipts at the warehouses were eatisfac-
tory, 814 bales being haudled here yes
terday and putting Americus' total re-
ceipts of wagon cotton above the II, 900
mark. The cotton marketed here is of
excellent quality, free of trash and
stains, as scarcely a drop of rain has
fallen since picking began. Hundreds
of piskers have been busy here this
week, and The feecy tide of fifty dol~
lar bales will flow towards Americas
today and tomorrow. Receipts here
tomorrow, as on last Saturday, will
very likely go above the thousand
bale mark.

SITUATION QUIET AT CAMILLA.
Americas Troops Still Guarding Jail
There.

There.
At late hour yesterday evening the
situation at Camilla was reported quiet,
with no indication of an outbreak. The
trial of the negro, Milford, was entered
upon yesterday at noon and is pro-
ceeding SLOWLY.
Such was the information received
at late hour by the Times Recorder.
The Americas Light Infantry, Thorn
asVllle Guards and Albany Guards
were upon the scene, and the safety OF
the prisoner from mob violence thus
seems quite full assured.
The military, in all probability, will
do guard duty today.
The telegram received here conveyed
the idea that the case would not be
concluded until today, and the military
will be kept on duty until the trial IS
concluded and the prisoner carried to a
place Of safety.
MILFORD, the negro prisoner on trial,
is charged with the murder of bailiff
West year ago while that officer was
trying to effect his arrest.
Another citizen assisting the Bailifi
was also shot by MILFORD.
The negro escaped into Florida,
where he was captured two days ago
and brought back to Camilla. The
murder aroused intense Indignation and
threats of lynching were made. Hence
the call for the military.
Judge Spence convened a special
session of court for the trial of MILFORD,
and a strong military force surrounds
the courthouse.
The Americas Light Infantry, fifty
strong, left at o'clock yesterday
morning, via Albany, and arrived al
Camilla at 9 O'Clock. There the troops
found everything quiet, and this hap.
Ply condition has since prevailed.
The trial will be finished today, and
the soldiers will return home tonight

LATE MELONS IN THE MARKET
Americus Feasts Upon Finest of The
Season.

White hearts and black were made
glad yesterday by the advent of sundry
wagon loads of watermeIons, the first
in Americas in several waeks. These
lac melons are excellent, and bring a
good price. Recently MIR. F. W. Forth
has sent here the finest specimen Of
canteloupes even seen IN Amorious.
They are called the "banana melon, !"
having the tine odor of the fruit, and
grown to five or elk pounds weight
These melons ripen late IN the season
and should be generally cultivated, as
it is the finest fruit of the entire melon
list and would bring a fancy price in
the market.
