FIRST TOAST ON
"CITY OF SAVANNAH"
Graceful Tribute Paid By
General Manager.

SAVANNAH, GA, October 10
(SpeciaD the first dinner aboard
the Steamship City of Savannah" en-
route from New York to Savannah,
General Manager PIeasants proposed
the following graceful toast:
The City of Savannah, the ship
and that beautiful and prosperous
city in Georgia, which we soon shall
see. To those of you that are not
familiar with the South, its cherished
traditions and strong characteristics,
l want to tell you and ask you to tell
the world that Savannah exemplifies
all that is good of the past and all
that leads to brilliant future.
"In these troublesome times when
states and municipalities seem over
wrought and perplexed with wrongs,
fancied or true, which they attribute
to the evils of corporate influences,
it is unique to see a thriving, busy
city, the largest cotton port on the
Atlantic coast, a market whose daily
quotations establish the value of
naval stores for the entire world, uni
ting with a transportation company
to give you a sincere welcome, for
Savannah believes, and strives to
teach all that come within her bor-
ders to believe, that her public utili-
ties, be they they on land or sea, are
essential to her prosperity, and in aid
ing them she helps herself to ma
terial and permanent advancement.
And in this spirit ] ask you to drink
to the City of Savannah,

LOOKS FOR LOWER
PRICE IN COTTON
Thinks Values Will Decline
to 9 Gents.

Mr.. Crawford Wheatiey returned TO
Americus yesterday ftom New York,
where he spent two or three weeks
recently on business and in recreation.
While there Mr. Wheatley was in
Wall street a good deal and upon
the Cotton Exhange, and says that
the sentiment among cotton men in
the metropolis is decidedly "bearish." &"
This is due in great part to the gem
eral financial stringency in the East
and the outlook, from that stand
point, Ct a big cotton crop. Money
is 50 tight there that the large bank
ing houses are compelled to decline
making advances to their customers
in Texas and the Southwest, to be
used for holding purposes. They con-
and that farmers should sell at cur
rent rices and thus add to the vol
ume of currency by bringing in for
eign capital. Mr. Wheatley says the
New York contingent calculate upon
a crop of more than thirteen million
bales, in which event 8 cents instead
of II cents will soon be the ruling
price Just one year ago today there
was killing frost throughout the cot
ton belt which sent prices upward,
but tn BRIGHT end baimy weather,
it is contendeG, viii add an extra
quarter million bales each week to
the general crop if it keeps up for
any length Of time, as now seems pro-
bable. It is in reality cotton max
ing weather."

SOUTHERNERS HISS
ATLANTA RECTOR

RICHMOND, VA, October 10
c. B. Wilmer, of Atlanta, rector OF
st. Luke's Episcopal church, was
Kissed at today's session of the Epis-
copal convention. His offense was
defending the Bishop of Michigan in
advocating the appointment of ne
gro bishops. The question was up
yesterday, but was not settled. That
it is a live issue was evident.
The House of Bishops yesterday
voted down the motion of the Bishop
of Albany providing for more strin-
gent canons on the subject of mar
riage and divorce. After discussion
it was decided to make no changes
along this line at present.

LOOKS LIKE THE BEARS
NOW HAVE THE BULGE
Cotton Values Are Squeezed
Down Thirty Points.

Yesterdays bright and balmy wea-
ther aroused the bears from inertia
and brought them stampeding to the
cotton patch and the open market,
giving fright to the quaking bulls
and sending them terrified out into
the tall woods.
1t was bear day" and the grizzlies
made the best OF it.
They fiercely hammered the mark
ct, with the sunbeam for a cudgel,
and succeeded in putting values down
thirty points, or more than a quar-
ter of cent.
Later, there was a slight reaction
on covering and the net loss for the
day was but twenty points.
Yet this was terrific for the man
who still held his bales for Is cents
instead of selling heretofore at cur
rent prices But the holding move
ment will soon be on in earnest, and
not a few farmers about Americus
will hold their bales.
After the slump in values yester-
day, II cents was the ruling price
in the Americus market with II 1-S
for good middling grades.

ANTHONY COMST0CK AGAIN
COMES INTO LIMELIGHT
Purity Congress in Battle Creek, Mich.
Hears Address by New Yorker.
Makes an Attack on
IngersoIl
BY Associated Press.

BATTLE CREEK, Mich, Nov. S.-At to-
nights session of the National Purity
congress Anthony Comstock of New York
was the principal speaker, and in his ad-
dress reviewed his long fight against vice,
and particularly the mailing of indecent
and obscure books and pictures. He told
of numerous attacks on his life which had
been made, he said as a result of his
war against vice.
= One of the favorite methods Of the pub
kshers of indecent literature, said Mr..
Comstock, is to secure the catalogues Of
membership from colleges and schools and
use them as mailing lists for their obscene
products.
Mr. Comstock severely criticised the late
Robert G. Ingersoll for his support of the
movement to secure the repeal by con
eress of the co-called Comstock laws, and
his criticism brought sharp defense OF
Mr. Ingersoll from Rev Caroline B
Crane, a widely known Unitarian minis
ter of Kalamazoo. Mrs. Crane refused
to believe that MIR. Ingersoll's motives
could have been other than good and I'M
pelled by some deep conviction She also
objected to Mr.. Comstock's characteriza-
tion of Mr.. Ingersoll as an arch-heretic.
