HIGHEST PRICES AT THIS

Great Excitement in New
York Cotton Market
Crop Small But Promis-
es to Bring South
Over S7OO,OOO,OOO
Especial to Times-Recorderl

Especial TO 1meS-RecOrder.)
New York, Sept. pa fresh wave
of buIlish excitement fairly carried
away the cotton market today with
every delivery, making new high rec
ords for the season and with prices
scoring an advance from yesterdays
close of 80 to 50 points or over $3.50
bale The price of approximately
10 IA cents was reached today, the
highest point ever paid for cotton at
this season of the year when the South
has still practically the entire crop
to market, since the civil war, and
even supposing the crop falls as far
short of last years yield of 100000
bales, as the bull leaders anticipate,
and amounts to only 10,50OOO0 bales,
at the present prices it would be
worth around $7O00O0,OOO the largest
amount ever realized for single
crop in the history of trade.

D0UGHERTY ORDERS OIL
FOR ONE OF IT'S ROADS.
Believed Road VIII Then withstand
Action OF Tires.

Albany, Ga, Sept. 23.-The board
of commissioners of Dougherty coun-
ty has ordered a tank car of oil, eight
thousand gallons in quantity, for use
on the Blue Spring macadam road.
The oil that has been ordered is so
per cent asphalt, while the oil for
merly used contained only 80 per cent
asphalt.
Another difference is that the oil
now ordered will have to be heated
before application to the road sur
face. A steam coil comes with the
oil, which will be connected with the
county's big steam traction engine,
and the oil, heated in this way, will
be sprinkled on the road while hot
The plan of the commissioners is
to first apply the oil, and then put
on top of it a thin layer of sand and
clay. This will then be rolled, and
it is believed a good, smooth and
lasting surface will be the result,
which will withstand the action of au-
tomobile tires and be practically dust
less.

COLLECTS NEAR BEER TAX
FOR 4 PERCENTAGE,
Pulled $4,000 Out Of Atlanta. $4,000
From Savannah.

Savannah, Ga. Sept pr. A. Ew-
ing, the representative of the governor
who is here for the purpose of col
lecting the near beer tax due. the
state from those who have not al
ready paid. said yesterday that he was
making Satisfactory progress with his
work. During the Two days he has
been working he has about covered
the ground, and finds there will not
be as many teIuquents here as he
expected.
Mr.. Ewing now SAYS twenty-five
will comprise the number from which
he will collect the state tax of 5000.
He found after he arrived that the
number of the druggists who had
taken out the United States license
would reduce his list considerably as
these were not near beer sellers, and
therefore not liable for the tax. Mr.
Ewing will therefore get about $4,000
out of Savannah to add to the deple-
ted treasury of the state,
Mr. Ewing makes quite a neat thing
out of teh collecting, being allowed 6
per cent of all the money he collects.
If he gets the expected $4,000 out Of
Savannah he Will receive $3.50 for his
weeks work In Atlanta where he
collected $4,000 he received $500, Fe
gets a $40 for every dealer from m
he collects. -.

S. A. |. OPERATES
TRAINS BY TELEPHONE
Expects to Extend Service
Throughout System.

1t may be some time yet, but even
t.isssly on every part of the Seaboard
railroad system the trains will be
operated by telephone. Such success
has been achieved by this innovation
on the main line that the other di-
visions are expecting to have the sys-
tenn installed at any time Supt.
Grimshay has been following the use
of the new method with great inter-
est and will undoubtedly seek to have
the Americas division brought up to
date in this respect as soon as posi-
bic.
In an interview, Mr.. w. F. Williams,
superintendent fthe Seaboard's tele-
graph system, praises the new service
His interview follows:
THE Seaboard Air Line has been
handling it's trains by telephone be-
tween Raleigh and Monroe, N. c.,
since September A. In fact, the Sea-
board Air Line is the pioneer railway
in the South in taking advantage of
the telephone for this purpose, and
many railroads have asked for our
specifications, blue prints and other
information, among them being the
Panama railroad, and the results
have been so satisfactory that it is
only question, in my mind, of very
short while before the telephone takes
the place of the telegraph with all
the railroads in this country. 1t gives
increased rapidity, greater ease in
handling, flexibility, safety, economy
and greater usefulness.
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1909-09-24
Service Good.

In the handling of trains it is of
the utmost Importance that dispatch
ers be able at all times to get prompt
and accurate details of train move
ments. Up to the present time no
method of securing this information
has been SO satisfactory as we find
the telephone. Not only does it give
quicker and more flexible service, but
it permits the dispatcher, if necessary
to talk with the conductor or engi-
neer, and through this personal con-
tact he gets the actual details of the
train movement far more satisfac-
torily than he could have secured
them in the old way by telegraph re-
port.
I'm order to avoid misunderstand-
ing orders given by the dispatcher
over the telephone, due perhaps to
haste, the dispatcher copies the order
in his book as he talks it off, thus
gauging or reducing his rate of
speech to his ability to write it down,
and to his ability also of the receiv-
ing operators to make their copies,
and even this speed is found greater
than that obtainable by the telegraph.
"A further safeguard against err
ror in train orders by the receiving
operator is the fact as with the tele-
graph, each operator is compelled to
repeat his order word for word to the
dispatcher, and also to listen to each
of the other operators receiving their
repetitions The operators in repeat
ing are allowed to read as rapidly as
Ineligible, or at a rate far in excess
of what they could make on the tele-
graph key, thereby saving much time
for themselves as we'll as the listening
dispatcher. All names of stations.
where given as meeting points in an
] order and all figures are spelled out,
letter by letter, both in the transmits
. sion of the original order and in all
, repetitions.
THE initial cost of the telephone
circuit is greater than that of a tele-
graph circuit, and the maintenance
expense will probably be somewhat
graeter, but the many benefits gain
ed from the change more than offset
the increased expense. Our expense SO
far has been of the most gratifying
nature

'THE HENRIETTA" A PLAY
CERTAIN TO PLEASE ALL.
Presented in Americas Wednesday
both, BY Jefiers0ns.

Bronson Towards greatest comedy,
"The Henrietta, is deservedly great
because of the human interest incor-
porated into a wonderfully amusing
comedy 1t is an achievement of no
mean order to tell a story, filled to
the brim with the stirring and fas~
cinating strenuosity of life on Wall
street and yet do so in manner that
cannot fail to appeal to the risibili-
ties of even the most sombre minded.
This is precisely what Mr.. Howard
has done in the case of The Henri
eta" The two stories-one of su-
preme intenseness and well worthy
of the heaviest of dramatic settings
and brilliant, spontaneous, efferyes-
cent mirthful tale are so closely wo-
ven that it would be impossible to
separate them and it is for that rea
son that The Henrietta" is always
remembered as a play satisfying all
classes of theatreg oers. And when
presented with cast of more than or
binary histrionic distinction-as it
will be by Joseph and William w JEFF
ferson, and, their efficient company,
it is safe to expect infinitely more
than is usually the case of present
day theatricals. The Jefferson compa-
ny will present The Henrietta" in
Americas at the Opera House next
Wednesday night, 29rA, as one of the
strongest plays Of The season here.

They Didn't Have to Change.

During the years in which our pure
food laws have been put into effect
there has been a great hurrying and
scurrying on the part of the food man
ufacturers to change their methods to
make them conform to the law.
The Quaker Oats Company is a con
spicuous exception. 1t was admitted
that Quaker Oats was as pure and
clean as possible and that it was an
ideaLf06d
1t is SO cheap that any one can al
ford it and so nourishing that every
one needs it. The result of last years
experiments at Yale and other points
where food values were tested is that
Quaker Oats has been adopted by
many persons as their food on which
they rely for adding vigor and endur-
ance of muscle and brain.
This splendid food is packed in the
regular size package and in hermet-
ically sealed tins. The latter espe-
cially adapted to hot climates, 4

WONTEN'S WOES
Americas Women Are Finding Relief
mt Last.

1t does seem that women have
more than a fair share of the aches
and pains that afflict humanity; they
must keep up" must attend to du-
ties in spite of constantly aching
backs, or headaches, dizzy
spells, bearing-down pains; they must
stoop over, when to stoop means tor
ture. They mucst walk and bend
and work while suffering from
kidney ills. Kidneys cause
more suffering than any other organ
of the body. Keep the kidneys well
and health is easily maintained. Read
of a remedy for kidneys only that
helps and cures the kidneys and is
endorsed by people you know.
