POINT NOT REACHED
AmeriCuS Sells Staple
Above IL IL Gents.

Americas buyers yesterday paid q
fraction above 1912 cents for fine
cotton-the highest point reached thus
far this season. or in several seasons,
for that matter. The contract market
advanced twenty points or better. and
spots followed in proportion Twelve
and a half cents was the ruling price
the same top notch figures reached
prior to the slump last week, and after
a strong rally the offerings went
even above 1912 cents in the Amer
icus market Receipts at the ware
houses were very good for Monday,
and farmers showed no hesitancy in
letting their bales go at 1912 cents
or above that figure Cotton men
would not be surprised now&to see a
continued steady advance in cotton
values, and thirteen cents, even by
the end of the week, would be within
the scope of possibilities Americus
warehouses have received about IA
coo bales wagon cotton thus far, and
of that number probably less than 200
bales remain unsold. Farmers have

AMAZONS IN BATTLE ROYAL
PULLED HAIR IN STREET.
Lively Fight as Result of Police Court

A redhot fight between two negro
women took place opposite the court
house yesterday morning the moment
the two black amazons, Fannie Nose

had been witnesses there, and the
fight was the result of testimony
given by one regarding the "kerrec-

their hair la mode when the fight
opened, but both were reduced to a
kinky wool basis at the finish, while
the sidewalk looked as though an old
hair mattress had been ripped open.
The black bellies bit fought, scratched
and tore faces and clothes until the
police gigged both and put them in
cold storage. Many spectators gath
cred in front of the temple~enioyipg

lars changed hands regarding the
