GOES IN A WHIRL,
Receipts at Americas Pass
10000 Spot.
HEAVIEST EVER IN SEPTEMBER.
AS Much Wagon Cotton Here Already
as Usually Handled During Entire
Month-Farmers are Fast Picking
Crop-One> Third Is In.

Americas cotton receipts jumped the
hurdle yesterday in advance of all rum
ners on the track with ten thousand
bales to her credit, thus leading all
other markets and beating by several
thousand bales any record ever made
before in September.
Ten thousand bales is a pretty good
lot, but Am ericus has 'em.
Wagon cotton it is, too, every bale
of it, the cotton being hauled here,
sold, and the money paid to the owner,
who spends it here. That's where
cotton receipts benefit all.
And Americus' business houses are
feeling the impetus already.
Ten thousand bales is more cotton
than is usually handled here even by
October LIST, and here we beat the
record by September 18Th, and still
have nearly three weeks to go upon.
By October 1st, our total here will
probably exceed 16. 0O0-bales.
That is nearly half the annual re-
ceipts by wagon here.
Just what local receipts were st this
date last year is not remembered rlght
at the moment, but certainly die not
exceed 5000 or 1900.
The piling up of receipts this season
is attributable to two facts, viz; the
early movement of the crop and
rapid opening of bolls, and to the ex-
tension of Americas territory. Cotton
is coming here from sections which
heretofore went to other markets.
But excellent prices, coupled with
the fact that AmericuS is the best trade
centre in south Georgia, has turned
the feesy tide here.

light-1easted withaI. They bad b en-
abroad the cars since Sunday night,
their departure having been delayed
ten hours from some cause. The trip
home was wholly without incident.
But many are the entertaining So

The joys and hardships of camp life,
the forced marches of many miles in
the military maneuvers, the raging of
the battle, are all told by the soldiers
