Not only in the country about Amer

Albany from trip through Baker
county relates that he found conditions
there far more serious than he had
dreamed, and in localities remote fro M
Flint river and permanent streams
water is distressinglY scarce. Wells
have gone dry and others are failing;
springs have ceased to flow and ponds
that were never without water before
have their beds exposed to the SUP
Many country people are obliged to
haul water several miles, and the
strictest economy in its use becomes
necessary. Many farmers have driven
their cattle from old pastures to locall-
ties where water is to be obtained, but
1t is stated that not all haYe been able
to provide relief. On one of the farms
visited three COWS had just died OF
thirst. Unless rain comes in a few
days, it will be necessary for all cattle
to be driven to the river, creeks or re-
naming ponds.

CAME TO AMERIcus
Thousands Throns the Streets Here
Yesterday.

The click of the bright silver dollar
and the rustic of the crisp new bill
made merry music In Americus yester-
day, For Thousands came to this busy
mart Of trade, and the streets were con.
gested with crowds of shoppers and
pyramids of cotton bslss. From a
dozen counties came these buyers, and
merchants in every line of business re-
ported excellent trade. The decline in
the price of cotton may have
hindered business to some ex-
tent, but it is fact that the
people had money, and spent it. Not
in years have merchants here had q
better fall trade than has been record
ed TO the 18th of October this year.
And the big end of the business is yet
to come, as Novembe and Decem Der,
with colder weather and the holiday
trade, promise much for the business
