9 CENTS THE LIMIT
PAID FOR FLEECY,
Numerous Bales in Americas
Market.
THE BALES ARE CHEAP
At Figure Named Many are Sold as
Holders Fear Further Decline
Nearly Hundred Bales in Amsrlcus
Up to Gate.

Nine cents is the price of the first
bales Of cotton of the new crop now be-
ing marketed IN Americus, and while
this is seemingly low figure not a few
planters are disposed to accept it
and numerous sales at the 8 cents
were made here yesterday.
And, if there is anything in "the
signs of the times" even nine cents
may be considered satisfactory figure
month hence. For a bumper cotton
crop is going to be made this year.
Even right here in Sumter county q
foe crop is maturing.
And this is true of he crop generally.
The seasons have been favorable, and
while In a few localities there may be
adverse conditions the fact remains
that an exceptionally fine crop will be
made this year, And big crop means
lower price.
Yesterdays receipts of new cotton
put the total in Americus to near the
hundred bale mark
For time the market dragged in the
face of the rapid aecline in futures, but
the Georgia Cotton Co. readily paid 9
cents and nearly all the days receipt
went at that price.
On all plantations near Americus the
cotton is opening rapidly, and while
the movement is week or ten days late
this season receipts here will probably
exceed 1900 bales by Sept. 1st ever if
they not go we'll beyond that good
figure.
The local buyers will be upon the
scene within a week, and the usual
strong competition here will insure the
highest prices possible.

WILL SERVE LIFE TERMS
Another Bunch to Penitentiary From
Sumter

Three negroes now in Sumter coun-
tvs Jail under life sentence for murder
will be sent to the penitentiary, two of
them, Witcher Reys and John Flowers,
going this week, CLERK Allen on yes
ternsy thus notified the penitentiary
authorities.
The third prisoner, Clarence Hern-
don, will go later, as the supreme
court has just passed upon his case
and the remlttitur has not yet been re-
ceived by the authorities here.
But Keys and Flowers, two bad ones,
are to go at once.
Witcher Heys killed Jim Brown at a
negro fandapgo in Rudson's alley here
several months ago, shooting Brown as
he danced, presumably just for the fun
of the thing. The police captured Heys
and his trial and conviction quickly
followed.
John Flowers killed another negro
in the Fifteenth district few months
ago, and without cause or provocatlon.
There was a woman in the case, and
when Flowers and his rival met the
gun work of the former produced the
usual funeral.
Herndon, who also goes up for life,
likewise killed another negro in the
Fifteenth quite recently,

eral months ago will die upon the gal.
lows here September 9TH in expiration
of that atrocious crime. Hicks was thus
sentenced to death by Judge z, A.
Littleiohn yesterday.
Ii was the second time sentence was
passed upon the negro,
After being tried and convicted at q
special term of the court here in April
last, the case was carried to the su-
preme court; which promptly affirmed
the verdict of this court.
Ere sentence was imposed yesterday
Hicks was allowed to make a state
mens, wherein he expressed regret at
having killed Mr., Davis.
The details of the crime are we'll re-
membered. The negro was employed
upon the Davis plantation, and one
morning while in the field he had q
row with another negro. Mr.. Davis
attempted to prevent any difficulty, and
was shot down by Hicks.
Mr.. Davis was unarmed, and the
shooting was without provocation.
Hicks was given trial at a special
term of the court and was defended by
three of the most prominent members
of the local bar, but the evidence of
guilt was overwhelming and after a
brief trial he was convicted aud SEN
fenced to die.
The negro will be executed here in
private upon the date mentioned.

AN OLD QUARREL
 FINALLY SETTLED
How Contagious Disease Cases in the
 City are 10 be Disposed oE

One very important matter concern - ing which there has been a good deal of dispute between the city and county authorities was settled yesterday. That was the disposition of cases of conta- gious disease discovered within the city. It had hitherto been the theory of the city officials that since the city IS in the county the county should take charge Of all these cases and it has been doing so, furnishing medical as sistance and when necessary, isolating the patient in the county pest house. That latter office will still no doubt be performed by the county, though the city will have now to pay for me dical attendance and all orller expense that may be incurred in the handling of the case
 The matter was brought up before the board of supervisors yesterday morning. There were present at the meeting Acting Mayor Moss, City At torney E. w. Lewis and Assistant Dis trict Attorney Bullard.
 Act 65 of the twenty second legisla- ture on the subject is so plain that the attorneys quickly reached an agreement. Section 9 of the act de- lining the duties of county boards of health Is as follows: "The several county boards of health shall have power within their respective counties outside the corporate limits of cities having a city board of health s<Dject to the supervisory control of the terri torial board of health" etc.
 Elsewhere in the act the duties of the city in such cases are also clearly defined.
