 The wheat market manifested it's greatest weakness during the first half hour on general selling by commission houses and local holders. Offerings were brought out chiefly by liberal lo- pool and by a continuance of weather in the northwest favorable to the rapid maturing of the new crop. The market became much steadier during the last part of the session because of buying by shorts and bull leaders and closed steady.

PROHIBITION HAS
GUT DOWN CRIME
Albany Benefited By Law S
Operation.

Albany finds that the prohibition
law has greatly diminished petty
crimes, the number of arrests de-
creasing more than half as compar-
ed with the same period for the year
before.
The Herald says:
The effect of prohibition in Albany
as reflected in the records of the po-
lice court was strildngly shown by a
story in yesterdays Herald For the
first nine months of 1907, Ito arrests
were made by police officers for viola
lions of city ordinances. During the
corresponding period of the present
year the number of arrests was 46S,
a decrease of precisely 60 per cent,
The revenue from the police court for
the first nine months of 1907 was &c.
26S70, while for the corresponding
period Of the first year under prohi-
bition it was $1,146, decrease of 81
per cent. 1t is impossible not to at
tribute this remarkable decrease of
petty crime in the community to the
effect of prohibition. 1t is true that a
few blind tigers have piled their trade,
and it has not been impossible for
those desiring strong drink to secure
it, but the removal of the open saloon
has taken temptation from the path
of the weak brother with strong ap-
petite for strong drink, and has at
the same time closed number OF
resorts which were necessarily an
encouragement to certain lawless-
ness. On the whole, Albany's first
year under prohibition may be said
to have brought blessings which
abundantly compensate for all i
may have cost

MANY IN AMERICUS ARE
GOiN6 TO THE RACES
Large Parties Here Booked
Already.

That Americas will be we'll repres-
etned at the Savannah races on
Thanksgiving is evidenced by the
bookings made already, both by the
Central and Seaboard Railways, and
at least fifty people, it is thought,
will go over from Americas.
The Seaboard will place a special
sleeper in Americas for the eonven-
fence of those going by that line, and
the Central Railway will do likewise.
The round trip rate by either road
is S7l0 which includes admission to
the grand stand This low rate does
not include sleeping car accommoda-
tions, which of course will be extra.
Passengers by either road can oc-
cupy the sleepers while in Savannah,
thus saving hotel bills.
The Central has arranged for the
operation of two special trains from
Atlanta One will leave Atlanta on
night of the oath and the other on
the night of the 25th.
1t has already reserved a full car
for Griffin, two for Macon and two
for Columbus, and one each for AL
bany, Americas and Hawkinsville. 1t
will have about thirty sleepers in the
service so that it can be seen that the
people are going.

ever held viii be there upon this oc-

GREAT TRIUMPH OF
1.-THE TRAITOR

The triumph of The Traitor" has
had but one precedent and that was
three years ago when The Clans
man" swept through the South like
a whirlWind, breaking all theatre-re-
cords and causing more talk and
discussion than any play since I'm
Gle Toms Cabin" 1t is useless to
ask why and to try to explain such
success. The thing that interests the
public is the fact that it is a success
and that everyone is anxiously await
ing the engagement in this city. Many
people wonder how it is that the
public knows so soon what is a sue
cess and what is not but the public
does know That is why there is al
ways such rush on the boX-office
when the sale of seats for 1.-The Trai-
tor is announced. Besides they re-
member how difficult it was to secure
seats during the first season of THE
Clansman' and they probably have
in mind the story of the early bird.
The date of The Traitor" engage
ment in this city at the Opera House
is Thursday, Nov 18th,
