FLEECY is STILL BOOMING
AND FARMERS ARE GLAD.
Well Over the 13-Cent Mark 1t Has
Gone Now.

Barriers torn away"-the 13-cents
barrier-in the cotton market, was
the pleasing situation here yesterday
when the price jumped the fence and
scared away towards IA cents, on it's
certain route to Is. The joy packages
rolled in by the wagon load-hundreds
of bales coming to the warehouses
and the farmers were greeted with
the cheering news that prices were
still climbing The market yesterday
morning advanced to the highest point
it has reached this season, and while
13 cents was probably the ruling fig
ure, IS Is to 13 IA cents was paid
for exceptionally fine grades. Farm
ers in hurry to buy few more
farms before all are taken are selling
their cotton at current prices, while
others-a few only-will wait for Is

HOW BASEBALL FLOURISHES.
Attendance Statistics for Past Season
Show Continued Advancement.

Estimates of the attendance at the
baseball games of the National and
American leagues for the season Of
1909 give total of 7,37, ,10S. For the
American league the figures are 1885,
900 greater thar for the National. The
official attendance count for 1908 was
7,O69,122
In the light of these top-notch sta
tistics the national game is seen to be
doing much more than hold its own.
To measure the popular interest in the
sport, one must consider the support
given to more than 80 minor profess
siOnal leagues, as well as to college
teams, high school teams, athletic
club teams and other amateurs in un-
reckoned numbers. In the summer
almost literally the whole country
plays ball.
Among the cities of the big leagues,
New York, Pittsburg, Chicago and De-
troit have found their attendance at
JIIhSS ohdl ply AllullOu pS Sioeid HP''NS'
Despite the conversion of the Polo
grounds into a close built amphithe-
ater, many thousands of would-be
spectators were turned away on red
letter days of the season just closed.
The vast Forbes field at Pittsburg
has proved unequal to the demand for
places at games of the worlds cham
pionship series.
So long as baseball remains the
honest, active and stirring sport that
it is, it is sure of a mounting prosper
ity. The gratifying evidence of many
| seasons past points to a continuance
of that integrity which leads its con-
spicuous charms.

ATLANTA IN GRASP OF
A HEAVY HAIL STORM
Worst One in Years Hits
That City. :.

Atlanta, Ga, Oct. 15.-The heaviest
and severest hail ever known in At
lanta came with the storm last night
lasting about ten minutes. Windows
were broken in numerous stores and
houses. AT the Constitution office
several hailstones as big as hen eggs
crashed through the skylight, break
ing glass a quarter of an inch thick.
Within a few minutes after the
storm passed more than dozen hail
stones as large as good sized apples,
were brought into the Constitution Of
fee. many of them weighing three to
four ounces, aud the heaviest five
ounces,
One of them brought from Howells
Station, a distance of three miles.
weighed nearly four ounces on arrival
and after nearly a third of it had
melted.
Twenty-one large panes of glass in
the Auditorium Armory were broken
by hailstones, and many plate glass
windows facing to the west were
cracked or smashed.
A druggist unhitched two mules to
get them to shelter, took them in his
drug store and in their fright over
the storm outside they nearly wreck
ed the soda fountain, one of the hand
est in the city.
The heaviest rain gave the city
thorough cleaning, washing smoke
and SCOT off the buildings as well as
the ordinary dirt
The general direction of the storm
was from the northwest toward the
southeast This is one time the old
est inhabitant has been outdone None
of them has been found so far, to re-
member hailstones any larger than
those seen yesterday No fatalities
have been reorted
The property loss is estimated at
least 100000. There were no casual
ties The storm lasted only twelve
minutes, but the wind attained and
held velocity of fifty-six miles an
hour. Pedestrians were blown against
buildings and in some instances
through windows.
The covers of umbrellas were
stripped from them by the hailstones,
one of which weighed fourteen ounces.
Street car traffic was suspended for
time and is not entirely restored at
midnight. Electric light wires strewn
through the streets make travel very
unsafe. Telephone and telegraph
wires are down in all directions and
several nearby cities are cut Off

AMAZED AT WATER BILL
HE LOOKS FOR CAUSE.

When an Americus citizen was pre-
sented water bill of $31 for water
at his residence for the last quarter
he wellnigh collapsed from heart fail
ure, as heretofore his quarterly bill
had never exceeded the minimum rate,
$255 And forthwith he went to in
vestigate. He had spent the summer
in the mountains, and on leaving home
had inadvertently left the bathroom
faucet running. But the silent meter,
which works cascaretically.. had kept
tab on the fact and recorded a bill for
$31-the correct amount.

OCEAN CITY. N. j., June 10. 1909.
This resort is fast filing up for the sum-

write for reservations new as hotel pro-
prietors state the season will start early
this year, and the choice rooms are 60

demand for cottages exceptionally good
and despite the fact that over 800 new
cottages have been built since last fall.
those who delay making arrangements
will have very small selection.
The crowds over Memorial day made
hotel keepers hustle to find accommoda-
tions, and as most of last years cottage
have opened their places the promenade
on the Boardwalk was a merry. laughing
stream of humanity, typical of a mid

Visitors to the resort this year will be
amazed at the number of new buildings
which have gone up nee last season; five
or six new stores appear on the Board
walk: an immense pavilion is being erect
ed at sth street and the Boardwalk; the
band pavilion on the Boardwalk Is being
remodeled. and q new shell placed over
it. which will render the concerts this
summer Of greater enjoyment. the hotels
have been redecorated both inside and
outside. and in many inst ances extensive
enlargements have been made.
The Ocean City Yacht Club has added
over twelve new members and about
twenty-five new beats, both power and
sail, will carry the coolrs this year. Elab-
orate arrangements have been made for
this seasons entertainments and races,
and it is confidently predicted that the
end of the season will show great num-
Der Of trophies and cups in the possession
Of the club.
So successful have been the local ath-
letes in recent contests all over the east
that plans are being considered for the
erection of modern athletic field. This
project is receiving enthusiastic support
on all sides, and beach contests have
been arranged for the coming summer in
