IN POINT OF BALES
AWAY IN The LEAD,
Americas Beat All Records
This Year.
RECEIPTS THE HEAVIEST EVER
Over Seventy Thousand Cotton Bales
Received Here to Date-Reco ord Far
Surpasses That Made at Any Pre-
Vious Cotton Season.

Seventy thousand, five hundred and
twenty-five bales cotton represents the
grand total received and handled in
AmerIcus during the current season
up to and including receipts yesterday
when a shipment of 800 bales came
from nearby point for compression.
This is Americus' record for the cot
ton season of 1904-O5, aud fine one
indeed; 70. 525 bales.
1t breaks all records previously made
by this market, and also puts Americas
far ahead Ct any town in the state,
south of Macon and west of Savannah,
IN cotton receipts.
No other town can touch these fig
ures by many thousand bales.
While the crop just marketed was the
largest ever, it Is true also that AmerI.
Gus drew the cotton bales this season
from distant territory never entered
before. her superior advantages as a
market, together with the inducemen! s
offered farmers, brought the cotton
From fourteen counties the farmers
hauled cotton here in wagons.
This cotton went directly to the
warehouses, where it was weighed and
paid for during the season, to date,
Americas warehouses have thus han
died exactly $1,000 bales cotton
The baancs of 1925 represents
shipments to the compress here from
outslde points, and is designated as
railroad cotton.
The local compress, which closed
down yesterday for the cotton season,
has handled to date total of So, 452
bales turned in from the Americas
warehouses and from outside points
This is by far the heaviest business
ever handled by this compress
AT this date last sea ON the press had
handled a totalo of 50, e42 bales as against
63, 452 bales this season, an excess of
q, 6l0 bales.
La the territory tribu airy to Ameri-
Gus; that is, in the smaller towns, are
still perhaps 1000 balep, the greater
portion of which will coma here during
ths summer. These del. y I'D shipments,
therefore, will give Americas a graz d
total of rs 900 bales for the season.
A magnificent record, and one of
which her merchants and warehouse
men are proud.
