CITY have been importuning their repre-
sentatiyes for several years past to put
Alexandria in position whereby small
manufacturing enterprises will be at
trscted to Our midst. This is believed
to be impossible under existing circum'
stances, as electricity in this day Is a
prime essential to all industries. Be-
sides the people of Alexandria desire to
use electricity for Illuminating purposes
Nearly every city and town in the Com
monwealth is enjoying this modern adj
iunct to all communities, and it is hoped
each member of the City Council will
see his way clear to vote for the adoption
of the committees report. Mr. Mande-
vile ororoses ~ construct a plant IN

$40, 900. This alone will be an adver-
tisement for Alexandra, as it will be
sure to attract attention to our city aud
be the direct means of bringing addition

recently seen their dreams for the intro
duction Of electricity vanish. II is

Prediction of Enormous Crop Sends
Market Down.
Whether or not they really believe IT
the cotton bears continue to predict
monster crop this year and force val
ues down accordingly. Yesterday the
December position broke to $50, q
decline of 80 points from the level of
the day before, though it closed con-
siderably higher. New York advices
stated that reports from the south in
dictate one of the largest, if not the
largest crop ever gathered and as long
as such reports continue there will be
little upon which to base arguments
for purchase of cotton. This is the
marketing season, which in itself means
pressure. Efforts to advance prices
have met with repeated failure. The
reason for it is the enormous amount
OF cotton for sale on any advance.

is DOCTOR LINCOLN
At Least Such is Belief Regarding the
Body

Body
There is reason to believe that the
mystery surrounding the identity of
the stranger who died here Tuesday
morning abo4rd Seaboard passenger
train has been fathomed, aud that the
body now held here is that of Doctor
O. 81. Lincoln, of Ann Arbor, Mich.
To this end, kilograms were sent
yesterday to the mayor of Ann Arbor,
and also TO Mayor Woodland of At
lanta, where 1t is said the mother and
sister of DR.. Lincoln are stopping.
Every effort is being made to dis
cover the identity of the deceased.
Yesterday the A. W. Smith Farni-
ture Co. received q letter from a
prominent citizen of Cordele, stating
that an emsciated stranger, answering
fully the description of the deceased,
had fallen in front of his gate there on
Saturday, and had been taken into the
house.
There the man stated that his name
was DR.. Lincoln, that his home was in
Michigan, and that he was en- route to
California. Later he left, going in the
direction of Rochelle.
Nothing more was then heard OF
the unfortunate until the notice of bis
death was read there yesterday.
Acting upon this information tele-
grams of IL quiry were sent to Ann Ar
Dor yesterday, as stated. It is expec
ted that reply will be received this
morning as to the disposition of the
body, otherwise it will be buried in the
commons of Oakgrove Cemetery.
Several people viewed the body yes
terdsy, bnt not one had ever before
seen the unfortunate.

costing several thousand dollars,
