KICKED ON THE HIGH PRICE
PORTERS DROP BELOW MARKET QUOTATIONS
Having Filled Pressing Orders for Cotton Shipments Exporters Shy Away
From Market Expecting 10 See Decline

With hundreds of cotton bales pour
ing into Americus warehouses yes
terday, and prosperity and high prices
in full swing here, there came a
sudden change with the announcement
that exporters had dropped out" at
the present range of values.
They wanted no more cotton at 1874
cents, or even at 13 cents, and put
their limits down to 12a4 cents, and
1875 cents here instead
And this created CONSERVATION in
cotton circles.
The existing boom in prices col
lapsed, and a painful stiffness pervad-
ed the hitherto busy marts. Under
l3 cents the farmers were out of it,
and as the exporters would not long
er pay that figure, there was but
little doing here.
1t was a game of @freeze" that could
not last long.
1t is the opinion that exporters,
having filled pressing orders for inn
mediate shipment abroad, are going

COMPANY TO TAKE CHARGE
Of Electro and Gas Plant Here at OnCe--Reddy for
Business.

The new Americus Railway &c
Light Company, capitalized at quar-
ter of a million dollars, will take
over this week the plant of the Am
ericus Illuminating & Power Co, and
within a brief time now these utilities
will be under new management.
a. Mr.. A. n. Walker, representing the
Philadelphia people interested in the
enterprise, will be here tomorrow. He
reached Atlanta last night, and wired
Mr.. w. A. Dodson to this effect.
Everything is in readiness for the
change of ownership.
The charter granted the new COM
pany by the State was received here
day or so ago, and the company is
ready to enter at once upon compli-
ance with the terms of contract with
the city. This means cheaper gas

to sit down for siege and see how
long the farmer will hold his bales
before surrendering. They think it
will pay to wait
They do not want cotton at 1914
cents, the price paid Friday, if they
can get it for 12% cents, and prob
ably for even less.
There was little change in the fu-
lures market yesterday, and with that
as a basis of value prices here should
have been 1874 cents. Later in the
day, when exporters found their little
bluff didn't go a little bit, they put
limits up again.
But the business portion of the day
had passed by that time, and while
cotton receipts were heavy, sales in
comparison were light and trade suf-
fered in consequence. Farmers had
the cotton, but they were not operat-
ing a free gift distribution.
When the spinners and exporters
find out that such tactics do not work
they will pay the price.

and electric lights as well.
And, best of all, it means that great
developer in any growing city-an ell
ectric street railway.
All of these, together with cheaper
water for the city, are provided for
in the contract, spd this is protected
by bond of $25,000.
The new company is backed by
ample capital and will give to Ameri-
Gus a power system superior to that
of any town of its size in the South.
The new plant will be equipped with
modern and powerful machinery of
the very latest design.
Americus is to be congratulated up
on acquiring such a splendid enter
prise, and especially so at this peri
Ious juncture when capital is avoid
ing Georgia as a further field for in
vestment.

PRIME MINISTER is
II YEARS OLD
English Premier Celebrates His
Birthday Today.
Especial to Times-Recorder. J


LONDON, Sept. THE prime min
ster of England celebrated his list
birthday today. Despite his advanced
age Sir Henry Campbell-Bapnerman
is in exceedingly vigorous physical
condition. He is as keen mentally as
men a quarter of a century his jun
ior. The stress of official life during
the past nineteen months has not
impaired his vigor in the slightest de-
gree.
He Is referred to as another of
England's wonderful old men"
The Right Hon. Sir Henry Camp
was born in Scot
land, September 7, 1886, and received
his education at GLASGOW University
and Trinity College, Cambridge. His
political career has been a long and
distinguished one. Since 1868 he has
represented the Stirling district in
the LIBERAL interest and his ability was
early recognized by the ten liberal
leaders,
From 1871 to 1874 and from 1880
to 1882, he filled the office of finan-
cial secretary to the War Office. For
the years 1882 to 1884 he was Secre-
tary to the Admiralty, and in 1884
and 1885 was Chief Secretary OF Ire
land In 1856 Sir Henry was Secre-
tary of State for War, filling the same
office from 1892 to 1895. He has been
Liberal leader in the House of Com
mons since February, 1899, and has
borne the brunt of the fight where the
real fighting of an opposition is done.
His premiership dates from Decem-
ber. 1905, when he was sumoned by
King Edward to form ministry to
succeed the Balfour government,

Seaboard passenger train No. 10,
better known as the "shoohy'' did not
reach Americus at all yesterday, the
schedule being abandoned for the time
that this train might assist in trans
ferring passengers at the wreck be-
low Helena. The abandonment of this
important schedule, even for day,
was severely felt by Americus mer-
chants. This train is perhaps the
most important one of the many en-
tering Americus, bringing here large
numbers of shoppers daily, and this
valuable trade was missed yesterday
while people along the route were dis
appointed as well. The wreck is now
cleared up and all regular schedules

SPRINT OF BIG LINERS
BEGINS THIS MORNING
Greatest Race in History
is Now On
LUSITANIA AND THE LUCANIA RAGING
Sister Ships of Cunard Line Start
This Morning in ReCOrd.Bredk-
ing Race From Queenstown
to New York.
LUSITANIA AND THE LUCANIA RACING
Especial to Times-Recorder.)


NEW YORK, Sept. with the
wild cheers of assembled thousands
ringing out over the waters, what
promises to be the most exciting
steamship race ever held was con-
menced this afternoon between the
Lusitania, the biggest ship in the
world, which is making it's maiden
voyage across the Atlantic, and the
Lucahia, holder of the record between
Queenstown and Sandy Hook. Under
command of Captain James c. Barr
the Lucania sailed early this after
noon.
Shortly afterward the new turbine
giant, Lusitania, set forth under the
command of Captain j. B. Watt. The
great leviathan of the sea, beside
which the largest of other steamships
in the trans Atlantic trade seem
small, carried the fullest possible quo
ia of passengers, and the Cunard COM
pany refused hundreds of applications
from people who are anxious to cross
on the Lusitania's S first voyage.
The Luistania will proceed under
easy steam to Queenstown in order to
give the Lucania time to embark her
passengers and get away. The Lusita
MIA will leave Queenstown at 10
o'clock Sunday morning. Then will
commence the great contest of speed
from Daunt's Rock to Sandy Hook.
The Lucania will travel at its top
most speed from the coast of Ireland
to Sandy Hook lightship, a distance of
$500 miles Each of the ships will
burn at least 900 tons of coal a day.
The coal for one trip would last 400
ordinary housholders fifty years.
Among the passengers on the two
vessels are many American million
aires, and during the trip vast sums
will undoubtedly be wagered on the
result. Both eontesting vessels are
Cunard liners, and the race was arran-
ged as a test of the superiority of the
new vessel,
On her trial trip the Lusitania, over
a 1000 mile course, did % IL knots
for an average hourly speed. The
Lucania has made the fastest trip
ever recorded between Queenstown
and New York-5 days, hours and
90 minutes-which record she ac7,
complished in 1894, when Horatio Nc
Kay commanded her,
The Lusitania and her sister ship
the Mauretania, now being fitted out
on the Tyne, were constructed with
a view to their use as commerce des-
troyers of fast transports in case of
war with a maritime power With that
object in view the British government
advanced the Cunard company a loan
of 100000 pounds at ga per cent,
and also promised a yearly subsidy of
10000 pounds. 1t was stipulated
that the speed should be at least
"a 1-2 knots.
If the promises made by the build
ers of the Lusitania are fulfilled, it
will mark the final supremacy of
British over German shipbuilders.
