When all seems lost, again she lifts her

INTEREST AT FEVER HEAT
OVER MILLER AND MOORE,
Hot Election in Macon Occurs Next
SATURDAY..


Saturday.
Many Americas people are greatly
interested in the mayoralty race in
Macon between Judge A. L. Miller, the
present able and popular chief execu-
tive, and his opponent, Mr. Moore. In
terest there is at highest tension, and
the betting element has thousands of
dollars upon the result
A travelling man in Americas yes
terday stated that he saw one single
bet of $4,000 placed the night before
A Moore man made the offer, and it
was quickly taken.
The election comes off next Sat
urday, and the two days intervening
will be of the fervid variety.
The friends of Judge Miller feel
sure that he will win, but do not set
any figures. There has been some
betting done in the past, but no odds
are offered either way and the
chances are that there will be no more
odds given, as the race really looks
nip and tuck.
Both sides are claiming victory.
The Moore people express themselves
as confident of winning by at least
800 votes

SAVANNAH HAS CALLED IN
LAST OF STRAW HATS.

Savannah, Ga, Sept. 30.-Straw lids
were called in on the floor of the Sa-
vannah cotton exchange few days
earlier this year than usual. AS a gen.
eral thing they are permitted until the
first of October, but yesterday the
committee" got to work and decided
that the straw hat must go. There
we're a few killings" on the floor be-
fore the word was passed around, but
after that those who had straw lids
they wanted to keep put them away
and donned their derbies before ven
turing on the floor of the exchange.

MILLIONS WON BY A
COURT DECISION
Internal Combustion Vehicles Must
All Pay Royalty.

Boston, Sept. 30-The decision in
the suit brought by the holders of the
rights under G. B. Selden's patent is
sweeping. 1t means that every gaso-
line-propelled internal combustion
vehicle in the United States must pay
royalty to him per cent on the
value of the machine, which means
literally millions, for his invention
The decision on Selden's go birthday
is a rare celebration of the idea that
came to him in 1872, when he was
working on a road roller bought by
the city. He thought about the prob,
lem of locomotion and finally decided
that the principle of railroad 1ocomo
ton could be applied to other We.
hicles, and in 1879 he had a road en-
CINE" run by an internal combustion
engine.

The Best Food for Workers.

The best food for those who work
with hand or brain is never high
priced.
The best example of this is found in
Quaker Oats. It stands at the ton
among foods that supply nourishment
and vigor, without taxing the diges-
ton, and yet it is the least expensive
food one can eat.
This great food value and low cost
make it an ideal food for families who
want to get the greatest good from
what they eat.
Laborers, factory or farm hands, fed
plentifully on Quaker Oats will work
better and with less fatigue than if
fed on almost any other kind of food.
All of these facts were proved and
very interesting information about
human foods were gathered by Pro-
lessor Fisher of Yale University in
1908. You'll find Quaker Oats in reg
ular size packages, and hermeticaliy
sealed tins; the latter is best for hot
climates. &

DID PATIEN SELL
OUT WALL STREET
Charges Made That He Un-
loaded Before Leaving.

New York, Sept. SO-At the close
OF business Wednesday Cotton Ex-
change authorities estimated that the
seyenty-two New York Stock Elk
change houses that have cotton tick
ers in their offices were carrying 1,440,-
900 bales of cotton, largely on the
prediction made by Mr.. Patten ten
days ago that cotton would go to II
or Is cents pound. These customers
now control one-eighth of the entire
cotton crop of the United states, as
estimated by the Department of Agri-
culture.
The day that Patten made his I'M
expected departure for Chicago the
January option sold at 1852, the top
price. The next morning cotton began
to decline and it's reaction has con-
tinued steadily
On the break Wednesday January
touched 1909 and October 1908
These are the options in which Patten
is said to have had the largest commit
ments. The decline represents little
more than 81 a bale and involved a
loss to the customers of the Stock
Exchange houses of approximately
$2,SSO,0O0.
Charges were openly made on the
Cotton Exchange that Patten had sold
OUT on the New York brokers and
their customers and that at the time
he was predicting record breaking
prices for cotton he was quietly un-
loading his holdings on the New York
lambs that were cIamoring to get in
to the market on the belief that an
other Sully boom was at hand
There was amazement on the Cot
ton Exchange and in Wall street last
Friday afternoon when it was learned
that the Chicago Spectator had book
ed stateroom on the eighteen hour
train for Chicago and this reservation
had been made fully twenty-four hours
| before the train left When the news
got around Wall street scores of bro
kerage houses called up Mr.. Patterns
headquarters to ask if the report were
true and the answer was that Mr. Pat
tens brother had been taken suddenly
i'll and that he had been forced to
leave for home.
Then Wall street recalled that Mr.
Patten had left Chicago just as sud
| denly at the elimination of his bull
| speculation in wheat and that the on
ly explanation given at the time was
that he had gone out to his partners
ranch to take long rest. Patten
had liquidated his holdings in wheat
| before he went.
Now wall street is wondering what
it is going to do with it's 1,440,O00
| bales of October and January cotton
The government report published the
day Mr.. Patten made his hurried de-
parture shows that there is not such
a shortage in cotton as Mr.. Patten had
| declared in his campaign Of educa-
ton. The governments figures show
that the visible supply of cotton at the
beginning of the season was 1861, S54
bales. The estimated production for
this year in the United States alone
is II, 100000 bales.
The estimated production of the
East Indies is 3,65O,O0O, of Egypt 1,
100000 and of Brazil 100000, a total
of 17,050,000 bales. This with the wis

SHIPS COTTON TO AMERICUS
AND TO BEST ADVANTAGE
Product of DOugherty County Farm
Marketed Here.

Three hundred bales cotton from a
Dougherty county plantation are be-
ing marketed in Americas as rapidly
as the bales can be picked out, loaded
upon cars and shipped here. There
are other cotton markets much nearer,
and it is through one of these that
the cotton train passes en- route to
Americas. All things considered, the
owner of the plantation finds that it
is decidedly more advantageous to
pay freight on the bales to Americas
and sell here. rather than in markets
much nearer the farm.
