As Good as Bonds

ut has been the policy of the Treas
ury Department" said Mr.. Burleson,
ito so interpret the phrase of the law
of United States bonds or otherwise
as to admit of security other than
United States bonds being accepted.
Secretary Edwards tells me that thus
far this has been extended only to
acceptable municipal bonds, but if this
Interpretation of the law is permissa-
BILE, there can be no valid reason for
refusing to accept from the banks
warehouse certificates for cotton, and
there is surely as good reason to pro-
tect the producers from being forced
to sacrifice their cotton because of
tightness of money in the banks as
there is to come to the relief of the
stock gamblers on Wall street to save
them from the necessity of selling
their stocks at a sacrifice because of
a tight money market

MAKING A RECORD IN
CHASE OF POSSUM

That Sumter county is headquarters
for the juicy, succulent possum, as
of every thing else good that goes
or grows, is evidenced in the fact that
up to sunset yesterday two citizens
of Americas alone had captured one
hundred and fourteen of the tooth
some 'varmints" since the season OPP
ened thirty days ago. No where in
Georgia are to be found two more en-
thusiastic possum hunters than Col
J. e. d. Ship and Capt. Paschal,
whose enviable titles were doubtless
bestowed by virtue of their prowess
as hunters. The friendly rivalry be-
tween these two is quite spirited, and
almost nightly their dogs make the
welkin ring as they fly along upon
the trail Of the swift-footed marsupial
as he shins it up for the simmon tree
of supposed safety Up to noon yes
terday Col. Ship had 81 notches on
his axe-handle, each representing a
possum slain, while Capt. Paschal had
an exact number to his credit as
well, but as both were doubtless
abroad last night the figures are sub
ject to revision this morning.

Sack and Trunk Mystery

But the greatest feat of the evening
will be the sack and trunk mystery
as performed by NJ Mile Matzoni.
In this act Mile. Matzoni will be lock-
ed in a sack, then placed in a trunk,
which will then be locked and tied
with ropes. The sack in which the
woman has been locked will then be
dragged into the cabinet.
Into this cabinet Matzoni will step
and in minute Mile Matzoni ap-
pears. When the trunk is unlocked
and unbound it is found to contain
the magician himself.
By request an exposure of Spiritual
ism will be given. The tricks of the
mediums will be given and then the
exposures. This will no doubt prove
one of the most interesting features
of the evening.
The straight jacket is on exhibition
in the barber shop of Estes & Yer
wood, on Jackson street. 1t is the
regulation jacket employed in insane
asylums.
Besides the more difficult feats a
number of slight of hand performan-
ces which will delight and mystify the
audience, will be given.
The performance is to be given to-
SrrI,A % I, L

General Public Invited

1t is expected that large crowd
will gather at the city bastile this
afternoon to see Matzoni locked in
and later to see him come out scot
free after being locked and bound in
a cell.
Il would like to see Matzoni escape
from a cell" said Chief Feagin yes
terday. Our cells are built to hold
people and if this man can escape af-
ter being bound and locked up he's
a good one. My prisoners don't usual
ly behave that way. But as this is a
special case it will not be so mortify-
ing to me-"
At the performance tonight Chief
Feagin will chain Matzoni with a pair
of new handouts. These Matzoni will
shake off in the presence of the au-
dience. The wizard will also be
bound in straight jacket and shack
led. In full view of the crowd he will
work himself loose.

and the cell locked by Chief Feagin.
The crowd will retire until a signal
crowd will ten retire until a signal
is given by the Jail breaker. When
the door is opened Matzoni will be
standing outside the cell unshackeled.
Il have broken Jail sixty times, ="
said Matzoni yesterday and guess
l can make it sixty-one. Still, one
cannot always be sure.
This is my last piece of Jail
breaking" he added. Its too trying
and must give it up. This is a good

WAREHOUSE RECEIPTS
AS GOVT. COLLATERAL
Cotton Gan be Sacrificed
Like Stocks,

WASHINGTON, D. c., October Is
(SpeciaD Representative Burleson, of
Texas, called on Acting Secretary of
the Treasury Edwards and asked that
deposits to the amount of $4,000, 900
one third of the amount deposited in
New York to check the Wall street
panic, be distributed among the Sou
thern banks in order to prevent sacri-
fee sales of cotton. Mr.. Burleson was
told that however much the depart
ment might be disposed to do this
it would not now be possible, as the
deposits already made leave the Treas
ury with only a comfortably safe
working cash balance.
Mr.. Burleson takes the position that
there is as much reason to avoid sac
rifice sales TO cotton as there is to
avoid sacrifice sales of stocks He
sees in this withdrawal of bank &C
commodations to warehouse cotton
proposition to sacrifice the farmer
producer of cotton by making him
sell under price in order to assist the
holders of stocks in Wall street to
protect themselves against the neces-
sity of throwing their stocks on the
market at a sacrifice.
Warehouses Receipts Collateral
His proposition was that the Treas
ury should distribute $10,000,000 of
deposits among the Southern banks,
accepting from the banks as security
warehouse receipts for cotton at 25
per cent of the market value. He
represented to the Secretary that these
warehouse certificates would be much
better security than any municipal
bonds now accepted to secure de-
posits, in that they represented an
actual value four times greater than
the amount to be secured, and that
by having the deposit of $10,000,000
in Southern banks at this time the
cotton growers might be saved from
making a sacrifice to foreign pur-
chasers of some $16,00O,O0O
Secretary Edwards replied that in
accepting from banks warehouse GER
tificates for cotton as security, there
was involved question of policy that
he could not pass upon and which
would have to be presented to Secre-
tary Cortelyou, but that, independents
ly of that, the deposits could not be
made at this time, because the de-
partment was reduced to an actual
working cash balance by deposits al
ready made.

EXCELLENT COAL PROSPECTS.
Much Interest Aroused in Deposits
Around Ashland.

The recent work in developing the
various coal prospects found in the vi
cinity of Ashland, Oregon, has met
with so much success and has attracted
such widespread attention that it prom
.ses to insure sufficient perseverance in
work along this line to determine the
real extent Of the coal deposits which,
beyond doubt, exist in this section.
There is no question about the coal be-
ing found and the quality of it, but
there are skepiics as to the extent Of
the deposits. The scarcity and high
price Of wood for fuel has prompted and
encouraged the coal prospecting to a
large extent, and the opening up Of
coal beds Of ample extent would be
welcome solution Of the fuel problem,
which is = serious one and promises to
be more serious before another winter
is over. The inability TO secure wood
choppers during the past year OF two
has greatly curtsiled the wood output
and has resulted in soaring prices.
Recently no less than two represent
atives Of the Hartman railroad inter
ests have been in Ashland looking up
the developments of coal prospects in
the immediate vicinity Of Ashland, and
have made a personal Investigation to
report to headquarters, which shows
the general interest that is being felt
in local Developments.
