IN the aggregate, cf farm lands near

October just ended, by a local real

One half million dollars for the

The Southern Land Co., with head
quarters in Americus, reports tot Al
sales of $139,050 for October, which
indicates the business done by that
single agency
These sales included farm lands in
Sumter and adjoining counties, besides
timber lease of $4,000. Many set
tiers have thus been brought to Sun
ter county by this company and others
here, while the numerous sales effect
ed have advanced the value of other
lands over the county.
More than one million dollars has
thus flown into Americus within tie
current year as payment for farming
lands sold here, principally to Sou h
Carolina investors. This is a tremen-
dous sum and reflects advancing val

RECEIPTS Of COT
TON Away OFF
Up TO DATE.
Comparison Of Receipts For
Seven Years Here.
How the Staple Has Rolled Into Amer
lCuS to the Close Of October, and
How the Price For Mlddllng Has
Ruled.

October closed with spot cotton
bringing in Americus about a cent be-
low the ruling price last year, while
receipts are about twenty-eight per
cent. below what they were for the
corresponding period of last season
and less than they have been up 70
the close of October in any of a mum
Der of recent years.
While the receipts are so much
smaller tLan last year, or the year
prior to that, the crop is reported to
be closer picked and closer marketed
than during either of the past seasons.
! The original estimates that the crop
of 1910 would show a deficiency of
thirty to thirty-fiye per cent. seem TO
3e apt to be sustained by the total for
the season, as there is more apt to be a
further shortage than to have any of
the deficiency up to this date made up
during the remainder of the cotton
year.
October 81, seven years, together with
the closing quotation for middling cot
ton at Americus at that date for the

showing the crop movement and also
as a guide for comparisons as TO
what the crop of this year means in
a monetary way, when compared to
those of previous years, although since
1904 every year has apparently seen
tie cost of production increasing and
fourteen cent cotton today does not
imply a corresponding increase in net
results as compared with nine cent
cotton a few years back, as all ac-
quainted with the staple are aware:
