RECORD Is MADE IN
BALES IN AUGUST.
Four Thousand For Ameri
Gus Already.
BEATING RECORD LAST SEASON
For Cotton Year Ending Yesterday
Americus Received Nearly 1900
Bales. Putting Her Ahead of All
Interior Markets

Americas hadto her credit last night,
as the receipts of the cotton season
ending August 81, more than $1,000
bales cotton, thus breaking the record
for any previous season and putting
her far ahead of any interior market of
her class in the state.
Seventy seven thousand bales han
died here for the season of 1904-5.
These figures bear splendid testimo-
ny of the rapid growth of Americas
commercially, and especially as cot
ton market for the entire section of
southwestern Georgia.
But in recent years her territory has
been rapidly extended, and from the
local field she reaches out beyond the
borders of the state and even now ie
receiving thousands of bales from
southeast Alabama, a territory never
touched heretofore.
And new record, too, is made in
August cotton.
Up to last night, Aug. 31st. the ware
houses had received zoos bales wagon
cotton, exclusive of shipments to the
compress.
This is the heaviest receipts of Au-
gust cotton ever known in Americas,
and is due to the unusually rapidly
maturing of the plant. All these 4, DOE
bales came direct nv wagon tn the
warehouses, the cotton weighed and
the money spent here
Last season the August receipts were
3, 175, or $50 bales short of this season &
record. During August 1903 Americur
received only l56 bales, owing to the
late crop and slow movement. Buyers
yesterday were surprised at the heavy
August receipts,
Cotton is coming in rapidly now and
soon will reach an average of 500 daily

"CUTTING OVER"
How Telephone Lines Are Move
From Ono Switchboard to Another.

How Telephone Lines Are Moved
From Ono Switchboard to Another.
Cutting over" is the technical
phrase applied to moving the wires in
a telephone central office from one
switchboard to another If you will
reflect that many of the switchboards
of the type used in the Bell exchanges
of large cities carry 5000 lines, you
will see what a task transferring such
mass of wires is. Indeed, there are
few mechanical operations which more
impress one with sense Of absolutely
perfect forethought and organization.
When an exchange is to be "cut
over" all the outside lines coming into
it, both overhead and underground, are
tapped and practically connected with
the new board while the old one is still
in use. That is to say, they are brought
into the main distributing frame
which is the big rack through which
the outside lines are separated and
linked to the proper inside lines which
run directly into the switchboard and
terminate in the ''jacks," by means Of
which the operator is enabled to put
any two subscribers into communica-
ton.
The opportunities for confusion and
miShaps in this work are evident, and
it speaks much for the painstaking care
with which it is done that a subscriber
is practically never lost" as the tele-
phone engineer calls it, if one of the
lines is temporarily disconnected. To
secure such perfection innumerable
tests are necessary not only of the out
side lines, but of every switchboard
line, and these are conducted over a
long period so as in no way to disturb
the service of the subscriber
The operators are thoroughly drilled
in the use of the new board, and when
it comes to the actual performance of
cutting over" which generally takes
place some hour in the night when
business is always light, both boards
have a full force to work them. The
final step is to cut the old connections
and complete the new ones at the same
instant. This is usually done by pull
ing out from the board to be abandon
ed the heat coils which are put into
every circuit in the distributing frame
as protection to the apparatus against
an overload of electricity from light
ming or from the crossing of wires, or
what not, and simultaneously pushing
coils into the mechanism that replaces
it. So rapidly can skilled men perform
the operation that one of them can put
600 or 700 coils in a place in thirty
seconds, and the whole process of 'cut-
ting over in a large office occupies not
more than two minutes. There is no in
terruption of service, however, for one
group of wires is dealt with at time,
so that no circuit is out of commission
more than half a minute at the longest.
