COTTON CROP GATHERED FAST.
Two Thirds of Crop in Sumter is
Picked,

Americas has passed the %, 900 notch
in wagon receipts of cotton, the heav-
lest on record at this season, but daily
receipts now show an appreclable de-
crease, though this is due to the pres
ent low price Two-!hirds of the crop
here has been picked, and the two
M onths' months has cut all prospect of
top crop. There has not been even q
shower in this section of Georgia IN
SIX weeks, and the crop has suffered
accordingly. While the extreme dry
weather hassfacilitated picking, it has
cut off ell prospect of new growth, and
the farmers are gathering the entire
crop as they go over the fields. In
many instances but one picking will be
required, as seemingly, the full yield of
bolls is open Prominent farmers say
that after the first picking the fields
will not yield 200 pounds of seed cot
ton per acre additional, as there are
few bolls left unopened. AS may be
imagined, picking under such candl-
tions has been highly favorable; so
much SO that fully two thirds of the
entire crop of this section has been
gathered and marketed already.

HOSPITAL FUNDS IN TREASURY
Amount Given BY Council Will Be
Augmented

With the liberal cash contribution of
$500 made by the city council of Amer
icus safe in the trea ury, the promoters
of the city hospital are now bending
every energy TO secure the additional
amount needed to insure the ultimate
success of that great enterprise.
And that they will succeed in this
praiseworthy undertaking is assured
beyond doubt
Citizens of Americas are deeply in
terested IN the establishment of this
great charity and public enterprise,
and with the nucleus of $500 on hand,
they will succeed.
But this is not the only contribution
thus far, thu ugh the largest one. Many
citizens have already made personal
contributions. and others will still do
likewise. The movement is only yet in
it's incipiency, but grows rapidly great
er and stronger daily.
The county, no doubt, will be as lib
eral as the city council when called
upon to assist by contributing to the
Hospital
For it will be for the benefit of the
county as much as of the town
Another business meeting of those
interested in the hospital movement
Wilt be held this afternoon at 4:3C
o'clock at the Presbyterian church,
when reports of special committees viii
b made. All the ladies of Americas
are specially urged to attend.

ID cotton values yesterday gave inspi-
ration to the spot market as we'll, and
Americas buyers readily paid 81 to 81
cents for the better grades. This is a
gain Of quarter cent, or 81 .25 per bale,

fallen off considerably within the past
week, and this doubtless caused the

Wealthy Woman confesses to Theft.

A dispatch from Chicago says: Mrs. Laura
Ebbertts, well known IN social circles here
heiress to the Bradley estate, and MEM
Der of one of Chicago's wealthy families,
was arraigned before Justice Cawerly on
the charge of robbing another woman in
State street department store, Friends de-
clare her trouble is due absolutely to an
affliction akin to kleptomania. Waving ex-
animation, she was held to the criminal
court In bonds of 81. 800.
Her brother. w. Minor, wealthy real
estate man, signed her bond and she was
released. The police have refused to make
public the name of the woman who was
robbed, but say that she lost gold watch
and chain and sum of money. Mrs. Eb-
bertts has been long suspected by the pri-
waite detectives who watch and guard the
patrons of downtown stores and has been
watched on numerous occasions. Once be-
fore she was arrested but because of the
prominence of her family connections she
was allowed to go through the police court
under an assumed name, and upon a plea
of guilty of theft she was fined SIS and
costs.
Following her latest arrest she is said
to have made a signed confession.

Thinks His Son Was Murdered

A dispatch from Philadelphia says: DR..
John >. Wentz. father of E. L. Wentz. who
was round dead in Virginia, expresses the
conviction that his son was murdered and
when later he was acquainted with the
verdict OF the coroner's jury he refused
to change his belief. but declined to dis
cuss the matter further 1HThe following
is his statement: I1fa
my son did not commit Suicide He had
no reason whatever 5 for doing such a
thing. Some people would like to show
that lie did, in order to clear themselves
OF his murder, but their plan will not
work Edward did not have a revolver
with him when he disappeared. All the
weapons he owned have been found In his
home at Big Stone Cal. ~
AS for the statement that he had diff
ferences with me over business matters
and had given up his position 1t is equal
ly absurd There was positively no mo-
tive whatsoever for him to take his life.
He was happy and PERFECTLY contented
with his position, as far aQs I knew. If
he had decided to quit the business, he
had an independent fortune, which he
could have lived on without work or
worry.

Find Four Skeletons in Subway.

dispatch from New York says: About
six feet below the surface and only a
few feet from the point where the north
west corner of the old Hall of Records
stood on the east side of City Hall Park,
were discovered the skulls body and thigh
bones of four full grown men. Laborers
employed by the Degnon Contracting Com
pany, which is building the subway and
station at that point, were snoring up the
cemented crosswalk when they dug up the
bores.
In Dutch colonial days. on what is now
City Hall Park the gallows for the execu-
ton of criminals We're erected. The bodies
of persons hanged were buried at the foot
OF the gallows. 1t is therefore probable
that the bones resurrected were those of
criminals who were put to death on the
spot
1t Is also said that they may be the
bodies of American patriots who were
starved to death by Cunningham. Two of
the Skulls dug up are unusually large and
the thigh bones are thick and long.
