The Story of Oregon Fruit.

Working in connection with sever
al commercial bodies, over the state,
and aided by the individual fruit
growers, the Portland Commercial
Club has issued a fruit bulletin
composed of four pages of the New
Years Oregonian. Each paper sent
out bears a paragraph, conspicuous
ly stamped in two places, telling the
reader that he can buy his ticket on
the road most convenient to him at
a remarkably low colonist rate be-
tween March 1st and April 80. The
$50 rate from the great middle west
is made the striking feature of the
stamp-of course mention is also
made of rates from other sections.
The bulletins are prepared in ad-
vance for the use of the agents en-
ployed by the various railroads,
localizing the rate for their particu-
lar line.
The Mid Winter Livestock Show
at Denver Just closed was a tremen-
duous success, and many Of the ex-
hibitors expressed a determination
to be present at the Livestock Show
in Portland this coming Fall. The
Portland Country Club & Livestock
Association have promised the
Hunt Club that Accommodations
will be ready for them in June, and
an army Of men and horses are at
work at the present time to make
this pledge good.
The Pacific Coast Ad Mems As
sociation will hold their next annu-
al convention in Portland during

Mosier Valley, with DR.. David
Robinson, Secretary; the Scio Com
mercial Club, 7. j. Munkers, Presi-
dent, and A. G. Prill, Secretary.

Throughout the state.
Newberg will have a house-warm-
ing, under the auspices Of the New
berg Board of Trade, on February
1st, celebrating the opening of
their fine new Imperial Hotel.
The Executive Committee of the
Portland Commercial Club are ap-
pealing for additional funds to
advertise the resources Of Oregon,
and at no time during the active
work of that Committee have res
ponses been 50 generous. New
subscriptions are coming in, former
contributors are either doubling or
materially increasing their subscrip-
tions, and every cent of it is devo-
ted to advertising the state and not
the city.

SPREAD OF FEVER IS
SHOWN in NEW CASES
Disease Should be Stamped
Out at Once.

The development yesterday of
three additional cases of scarlet few
er, together with another reported
case of diphtheria should impress
upon the city authorities, either the
council or board of health, the abso-
lutte necessity of adopting much more
vigorous measures. Two days ago it
was reported that the malady was
thought to be under control, and a
statement to that effect was made by
the Recorder upon the opinion
of a physician here, but such seems
not to- be the case. AS cooler wealth
er approaches there is apt to be a
further spread of the malady unless
it is entirely stamped out, and that
quickly The dozen cases now known
to exist here are confined to no one
section of the city, but are widely
scattered, prevailing among colored
as we'll as white children. 1t would
seem highly important that the dis
ease be entirely eradicated before
the date for the public schools to
open, else the beginning of the ses-i
sion may be interfered with in the
prevalence of this dread malady.

RACES IN AMERICUS TO
BEGIN ON SEPT. q
Fine Event to Take Place
Here Then.

The Americus Driving Club is al
ready busy in preparation for the
first of the series of races to take
place at the splendid new driving
park here, and the events scheduled
for September 23d and oath, will at
tract a great crowd here. There will
be two full days of racing, both rum
ming and trotting events, and several
swift-footed celebrities" with good
track records will be brought to Am
ericus for this first occasion. Hand
some purses will be offered in each
event upon the program, and the en-
tries will be- open to anything in
the United States in the way ,of fine
horsefiesh. Experienced horsemen
will have charge of the first tourney
and will make of it a splendid sue
cess. Recently the club has assur-
ance of the entry of many swift step
pers, and large number of race
horses are expected here then. AL
ready the track is in perfect trim
and is declared by experienced horse
men to be one of the finest in the
South Within another week the
grandstand, bleachers, stables etc,
will be completed and the driving
park put in perfect readiness for
the September races, 23d and oath.

REPUBS OF THIRD WILL
NOT ENTER THE FIELD
No Intention of Putting Out
Candidate.

The fact that meeting of the
republican executive committee for
the Third district is to be held in
Americus next Monday has caused
some little discussion as to the
probability of that party putting a
candidate for Congress in the field
this fall.
This proposed meeting, in connec-
ton with the recent heavy registra-
ton of colored voters, would tend to
create such discussion.
Such a step is not even contemplate
ed, however.
The Times-Recorder was informed
yesterday to that effect by well
known colored citizen and party lead
er, who stated that such step as put
ting out a congressional candidate
was not contemplated
He said that it was the earnest
desire of the better element of his
party to continue the very cordial
and friendly relations existing be-
tween themselves and the white citi-
zens, and this could best be done by
keeping down any possible friction.
Moreover, he declared it to be the
intention of his followers to support
heartily the entire democratic state
ticket, both Governor and statehouse
officials.
The disfranchisement amendment,
he stated, they would strenuously OPP
pose, and it was to that end so many
negroes were now registered. And
the fact that nearly 1900 of them are
registered here already, emphasizes
that determination.
The committee meeting on Monday,
it seems, is largely a pie counter
affair without any special political
significance

AGENCY IN CORDELf is
GIVEN Mr.. STALLINGS
Will Accept That Position
With 5. A. |.

Mr.. Edward Stallings of Americus,
who for many years has been connect
ed with the Seaboard Railway, has
been rendered the Cordele agency
of that company and will doubtless
be transferred to his new field Mr..
Stallings has had long experience in
the railway business, to which he
has devoted his best years, and is
thoroughly competent to discharge
any duty to which he may be assign
ed. While yet lad twenty-five years
ago, he began his business career
with the old Savannah, Americas &
Montgomery, now the Seaboard, and
has since been continuously in the
company's service. While Americus
would regret to lose him as a citizen
his friends will wish for him continued
success wherever he may be assigned
to duty.

CHASE OF BLIND TIGER
MADE ON CASH BASIS
City Offers q Reward For
Conviction.

While Americus is not infested, so
far as known, with any of the striped
cats, sightless and dangerous, an
effective means of locating the lair
of the blind tiger is offered by the
Albany authorities. 1t would appear
that "growls" have been heard in
Albany, and in determined effort to
rid the city of blind tigers the coun-
ell of Albany has offered a standing
reward of $50 to any citizen, police
man, sheriff or deputy or any other
city or county officer who will supply
information, with evidence to convict,
of the operation of any blind tiger.
The reward will be paid as many
times as there shall be convictions,
and it is expected that the expert
ment will go a long way toward
breaking up the illegal sale of liquor
in Albany.

N. Y. STOCK MARKET
AND RECENT ANTIC
Legislature May Have In
veStigdtiOn.

NEW YORK, Aug. 28.-(SpeciaD-
Prompt action has been taken by the
Stock Exchange authorities toward a
thorough investigation of the fragrant
manipulation which made Saturdays s
million-share market a scandal AS
soon as the market closed the Govern
sing Committee met and passed res
olution instructing President r. H.
Thomas to appoint a committee of
five, who will be charged with bring
ing the offenders to book.
incidentally it developed that the
firm of A. o. Brown & Co, alone was
responsible for the preponderating
part of the two hours trading in over
100000 shares. One result of this
firms enormous total business, which
on the Clearing House sheets appear
ed as transactions in 73S,000 shares,
was the failure of the house to make
full deliveries, a state of affairs to
which was traceable the inability of
several other houses to make delivery
of the bulk of the securities sold by
them on Saturday and minor short
ages in the deliveries of several other
houses
The Governors of the Exchange, it
was said yesterday, are convinced that
only by the most thorough going in
vestigation by the Stock Exchange au-
thorities themselves can embarrass-
ing consequences be avoided as a re-
suit of the investigation which the
Governors of the Exchange, have been
informed will be undertaken by the
Legislature as soon as it reconvenes.

TRAIN CAN'T BE FOUND:
WAS LOST EN- ROUTE
Was Held Up by the Recent
Floods.

The Seaboard Railway actually lost
one of it's handsomest passenger trains
Thursday, and all that day and into
the night no trace of it could be found.
The train was the vestibule, No. 81,
running north from Savannah, and
was probably tied up somewhere be-
tween stations by the recent floods.
Attempts to get some information
were made at several towns between
Savannah and Columbia, but the re-
port came that they had seen or heard
nothing of the train, or it was inn
possible to get into communication
with the town Luckily this train car
ries diner and would be we'll suppli-
ed before starting into flooded dis
trict, SO no fears are felt for the pas
sengers even under the most adverse
circumstances.

COTTON LITTLE HURT
BY RECENT RAINS
Staple Picked Since Then
Shows Up Well.

Recent rains have done only small
damage to the cotton in Sumter coun-
ty, according to the opinion of we'll
informed growers. Picking has been
interfered with, but outside of that
the injury has not been great.
One result Of the rains has been to
more firmly join the open cotton to
the boil so that only very heavy
wind could injure it. In sections Of
Georgia near South Carolina, where
the rain was very heavy, it is re-
ported that the cotton stalks have
been beaten down to the ground, thus
inficting much loss in the way of
lower grades as we'll as of actual sep
aration of the staple from the plant.
+" 1t looks to me as if the cotton in
this section will be all middling and
above said a wellknown cotton grow
er yesterday. That is unless some
unforeseen calamity comes The rains
of the last few days have tended to
make cotton rather than hurt it. It
has of course hindered picking, but
this is only an incident and does not
affect the crop
'The season here is nearly a month
early and this will give the stalks
the benefit of every square before the
cold weather comes on. The yield
this season locally will be one of
the best, it seems to me. Of course
continued rains would be lad, and
might do great harm to the grade and
also cut down the yield"
Il have seen some of the cotton
picked and ginned since the rains
