1890 BALES BY WAGON
COTTON RECEIPTS BEHIND THOSE
OF THIS DATE LAST YEAR.
Shows That the Crop Is Short. Har-
vesting About Over and Receipts
Are Rapidly Falling OF.

If other sections of the south have
produced as short a cotton crop as
this the decline in the market is I'M
warranted.
At noon yesterday the warehouse
receipts by wagon in Dawson were
II, 799 bales, while at a corresponding
date last year they were 10, 485 bales.
There is nothing that shows more
conclusiYely than these figures that
the crop is short this year. The crop
this year matured remarkably early,
and was brought to market rapidly.
1t is now practically all out, and re-
ceipts have taken tremendous slump,
a week now showing but few more
bales brought to the warehouses than
were received in a single day a short
time ago.
Such was not the case last year.
At this time in 1904 the farmers were
in the midst of cotton picking, and the
bales were rolling into town in large
numbers. This year majority of the
fields are bare, and will not pay to be
gone over again.
Careful estimates place the prOduc-
ton of this county at fully 10000
bales short of 1904.
The cotton has been mostly sold this
season. The satisfactory price of ten
cents and better that prevailed until
two weeks ago caused sales to be made
as soon as the staple was ready for
maket. There will be comparatively
little held because there is none to
hold, and this condition cannot be
long in making itself. known to the
world.
But in spite of this the market has
been dragging several days, with a
downward tendency. The quotations
are from 8 to 90 cents, and very few
sales are reported. The farmers who
are able and have any cotton on hand
seem determined to hold it, and take
chances of it going higher.
The movement of cotton all over the
belt indicates a crop of not over lO,-
600 900 bales,

Cliff Powell who shot and killed
Haywood Smith several days ago in
the public road near Yeomans, was

With the demanding of Powell there
are three negroes in jail who must
face murder charges at the next term
of the superior court. Eliza Daniel,
one of them, is charged with the de-
structiOn of her infant child last
spring. The child was found in a
crocus sack in the negro cemetery.
Hop Baldwin is charged with killing
another negro in the northern part
of the county some months ago and
ourying his body, which was subse-
quently discovered and led to Bald
wins arrest. Baldwin, with three
other negroes, effected their escape
from jail last spring, but he, with the
other two, was recaptured. Baldwin
was taken in Columbus, disguised in
woman's apparel, just as he was
about to board an Alabama bound
train.

MAYOR MERCER ANNOUNCES.
Head of City Government Asks People
for Another Term.

Elsewhere in The News appears the
announcement of Mayor J. r. Mercer
for reelection, subject to the primary
to be held on November Is. Mayor
Mercer is now serving his third term,
and it is believed that he will be
reelected without opposition, after
which he will be ineligible for the posi-
ton under the recent amendment to
the city charter.
The announcement of City Treas
urer W. A. Baldwin for reelection
also appears today. Mr.. Baldwin is
a popular young man and most ca
pable official, and there is little doubt
that he will be given a deserved re-
election without opposition.
The term of Aldermen Baldwin,
Deubler and Whitchard expire this
year, and their successors will be chos-
en- in the primary. Whether they will
ask for reelection or not is not known.
They have served the city faithfully
and capably for number of years.
1t is reported that one of the present
members of the aldermanic board will
resign, but The News does not know
whether the report is authentic. If
it is, four instead of three aldermen
will have to be elected this year.
