VOTE TODAY ON
MONUMENT SITE
U. D. c. Convention Adopt
ed Inscription.

No action was taken on the location
of the Wirz monument at the meeting
of the u D. c. at Savannah yesterday.
The Times-Recorder's correspondent
wired last night;
mo action on Wirz monument, save
to read inscription, which is final"
The momentous question of the site
of the monument will therefore be de-
cided today, which is the last of the
convention.
So far the inscription on the monu-
ment has been keep a secret. 1t was
given out in Savannah last night, but
after the telegraph Office had closed
in Americus. Mr.. c. ]. Clark, of this
city, had the contract for cutting the
inscription, and this was done at his
marble works. Under instructions
from the U. D. C. he has declined to
give out any information of the nature
of the words on the monument
Nothing was heard yesterday from
Mrs Mathis or Mrs Taylor, who rep
resent the Americus chapter, and
doubtless they are working valiantly
for the monument The delay is not
considered in any way unfavorable to
the chances of Americus

REV. GILBERT is GOING
IN MONTH TO AUGUSTA
Returns From a Recent
Visit There.

Rev o. P. Gilbert, pastor of First
Baptist church of Americus, returned
here yesterday morning from Angus
to, where he has been for several
days. Mr. Gilbert VISA a little un-
well yesterday and remained at his
home, but it is well understood that
he has accepted the call to the pas
torate of the Augusta church, re-
Gently extended by unanimous vote
Mr. Gilbert preached on Sunday last
in the handsome church over which
he will again preside, and the hearty
and sincere reception extended him
by the entire church body all of
whom knew him well, was most graft
flying Mr. Gilbert has not yet FORM
ally rendered his resignation as pas
tor of the Americus church, but may
do so very soon, as it is his purpose,
it is said, to go to Augusta within a
month Mr. Gilbert has very large
number of sincere friends in Ameri-
Gus and among these, as in the COM
munity at large, there is much regret
at his contemplated departure from
this field of usefulness, where he has
lived and worked successfully for
three years.

COTTON CROP is
PRETTY WELL IN
Warehouses Have More
Than Usual Stock.

Between 70 and IS per cent of the
cotton crop in this section has already
been brought in. This is 10 to Is
per cent more than was in at the same
time last season"
This was the statement of prom
inent cotton man yesterday in sizing
up conditions The fields have been
picked, he says, except in spots and
the gins have reached the last end of
the crop in many instances.
While the bulk of the crop has been
delivered to Americus warehouses, the
local stock is somewhat larger than
last year Enough has been sold to
pay off obligations incurred in MAX
ing the crop. Nearly all of the stock
is being held for prices considerably
above those which now obtain, though
on a rising market some cotton would
be turned loose by those tired of TAX
ing any more risks. In other instanc-
es-and as is generally the case-a
rising market would result in limits
being raised Naturally enough, ev-
erybody wants to sell at the top.
AS is always the case, a part of the
crop will be stored by the growers in
gin houses and sheds on their own
plantations. This cotton will gener-
ally be held until the market takes a
decided turn for the better.

SINGERS OF BEER TO
PAY STATE. AT LEAST
Opinion Upon Subject Much
Divided.

While the Confederate vet, under
decision of the Court of Appeals, may
dish out near" beer without the
formality of municipal license, he
may be required to take out a state
license, which is marked down to
two hundred plunks.
The question as to a state license
is still unsettled, and the vet may
sail by this obstacle as easily as by
the town rocks.
Comptroller-General Wright is un-
der the impression that the decision
of the court in the case of Burch VS..
the state, from Ocilla, does not ex-
empt Confederate veterans from the
payment of state license tax against
dealers in near beer
The near beer" tax act, passed at
the extra session of the legislature,
specifically provides that no persons,
for any cause, shall be exempted from
the payment of the license tax to the
state. The Burch case applied only
to municipal license tax.
There is another provision of law,
however, which heretofore exempted
Confederate veterans from the pay
ment of license taxes to the state,
county or municipality, except for
the sale of intoxicating liquors
1t seems that the two provisions
conflict, and the courts may be called
upon to decide the issue

BUSINESS is BRISK AT
THE PRESS As USUAL
Receipts Are Ahead of
Last Year.

Like the Americus warehouses, the
compress here is well ahead of re-
ceipts of cotton as compared with re-
ceipts at this date year ago. More
than 26,000 bales have been pressed
at the Americus plant this season to
date, it is understood, and as the
warehouse receipts are 5000 bales
ahead of last year the press receipts
are in excess to that extent as we'll.
This is the first season with the new
plant, and everything there moves
like clockwork. Supt. Tobin has
kept the cotton moving rapidly, and
at no time this season has the press
been jammed or shipments in anywise
delayed. Facilities for handling cot
ton there are vastly improved and
there is no occasion now for pos
sible delay unless it be in break
of the machinery, which has not oc-
CURED thus far. AS heretofore, the
Americus press will probably handle
$4,000 or $4,000 bales during the cur
rent cotton season.

CHAS. [. ANSLEY'S
STOCK ON MARKET
Will be Sold About SOC in
the Dollar.

Something of sensation will be
created by the announcement of Mr.
Chas L. Ansley in this issue of the
Times-R Recorder, wherein he states he
will give up the department store bus
mess and continue in speciality lines
Mr. Ansley says he has given thirty
one of the best years of his life to this
work and the details incident to a
proposition of this kind are too siren
uous, the confinement too close. In
all these years he has never taken a
vacation and his working hours have
been early and late
From personal observation he is one
of the busiest men. Each year the de-
tails grow greater and greater 1t is
the very large amount of labor re-
quired in personally looking after
such an extensive enterprise which
has influenced him in this decision
and there is no apparent reason why
he should continue, as he feels that
he has arrived at that time of life
where he should work less instead of
more
Continuing in speciality lines will
enable him to eliminate many of the
vexatious details and devote more of
his time to other interests which he
finds much pleasure in.
In order to accomplish his purpose
he will offer his entire stock for about
90c on the dollar He does this as he
wishes to make the shortest work of
it possible and right now too while
the people are in need of the merchan-
disc and have their fall and winter
wearing apparel yet to buy.
Owing to his late decision his ad
did not give the details in the daily
paper this morning but circulars will
be distributed over the city today
giving the details more fully and from
prices quoted high class clothing, la
dies ready-to-wear goods, and nearly
everything else carried in this big
stock will be sold for very low prices.
The sale will open tomorrow morning
at o'clock and continue till further
notice

MAYNARD STOCK
TAKEN BY ALLISON
Furniture to be Sold at
Great Reductions.

An important deal in furniture was
closed yesterday, when The Allison
Furniture Company bought the stock
of the Maynard Furniture Company
This stock is valued at several thous-
and dollars and includes high and
medium grade goods.
Manager Davis, of the Allison Fur
niture Company, stated yesterday that
the Maynard stock will be sold re-
gardless of cost. 1t is the intention of
the purchaser to dispose of every
piece of the furniture in the present
building at the corner of Forsyth and
Jackson street, rather than remove
any of it to the Allison Furniture
Company's handsom store rooms on
Lamar In order to do this no reason
able offer will be turned down.
The purchased stock includes ped
room suits, brass and iron bedsteads,
dining room cabinets, side boards,
chairs, rugs, sectional book cases, and
other supplies.
Congratulations were extended
Manager Davis by his business associ-
ates yesterday when the news of his
coup was known. Having bought the
stock at bargain, he is going to give
the public the benefit.
The sale will begin tomorrow
morning.

FARMERS ARE BUSY IN
FIELDS OF OATS NOW
Recent Rain Is OppOrtune
for Them.

Every Sumter county farmer who
has not yet planted his next years
oat crop will now get everlastingly
at it since the rain yesterday made
ploughing possible. October is the
planting month here, but it has been
so dry during the entire month, with
total rainfall of only one-fourth of
an inch, that farm work of this kind
was out of the question And recent
high prices for oats viii induce the
planting of larger crop than usual
Many farmers here have had to pay
as high as S5 cents per bushel for
feed oats for stock, and as good
lands here will produce 40 to 60 bush
els oats per acre the farmers will
not be caught by big feed bills any
more Cotton at IL cents, with
oats at rs cents, corn 81 per bushel
and side meat 10 cents per pound
will induce the raising of home pro-
ducts next year

BASKET BALL
LEAGUE HERE
Five Clubs of
Experts May
be Formed.
Want Y. M. G. A. Gym for
the Games.

II the gymnasium of the Young
Mems Christian Association building
can be secured for the games, it is
probable that a league of basket ball
teams will be organized to give a
series of public games this winter.
Mr.. Thomas Bell, who is showing
the same interest in winter sports
that he always displays in base ball,
has been endeavoring to arrange for
the use of the gymnasium for this
purpose The only thing that appears
to stand in the way is that there is
not, or will not be, any care taker
of the building. In order to accom-
modate the public in the gallery it
will be necessary to throw the
whole building open, and without pro-
per care it is feared some damage
might be done to it.
The gymnasium is eminently adapt
ed to the playing of basket ball. The
room is large and the galleries will
comfortably seat a large number of
spectators. Mr. Bell will continue
working with the directors of the Y
M. c. A to see if the use of the
building cannot be had.
If arrangements are made there
will probably be no trouble in organ
i izing four or five teams of five each
here A number of Americus boys
became expert basket ball players
while off at school, and others would
speedily catch on to the game. AS
| there is not much doing in the winter
time this would afford a healthful,
clean amusement for the players and
their friends.
1t is thought by many that if the
Association building were open in
this way and in use a greater inter-
est would be aroused in the work
and it be made easier to secure the
money for the furnishing of the build
ing and it's regular use for the Asso-
citation work This is quite a strong
argument Many here will hope
that any barriers to the playing of a
| series of games of basket ball in the
] gmn will be removed and the league
of clubs soon be organized.
