COTTON FIRM TO BEGIN
BUSINESS IN THE FALL
KalmOn { Go. viii Engage
in Trade Here.

Americas cotton circles are inter
ested in the announcement of the
establishment of a new firm of buy
ers and factors here this season in
the entry of Messrs. I. J. Kalmon and
W. A Slaton into the local field. Both
Messrs. Kalmon and Slaton have for
many years been connected with the
Georgia Cotton Company as local
managers, Mr. Slaton in charge of the
Americas business and Mr.. Kalman at
Macon. The withdrawal of the Geor-
gia Cotton Co. from this field, as an
nounced some time since, affords
these gentlemen an excellent oppor-
tunity to enter there under the new
firm name of Kalmon & Co. Both
have been residents of Americas ana
of Albany as well and are fully iden-
titled with the cotton trade of South
ern Georgia, while having excellent
foreign connections as we'll The new
firm of Kalmon e Co. will occupy
offices in the Parker warehouse build
ing formerly occupied for years by the
retiring company with which they
have long been associated.

BEATEN IN FIRST GAME
SCORE FIVE TO NIL.
Champs Lay it On OCiIIa
Yesterday.

By the decisive score or five to nil
the Americas Champs Laid it upon
Ocilla's valiant hosts yesterday in the
opening game of the series here. Rob-
inson and Hooks did the work for
Americas, while Rodgers of the visit
ing bunch did the greater part of the
twir.ing for his team. He threw good
ball all right, but failed to receive
the support expected. Robinson for
the locals did very pretty and effect
i've work and famed out tile aggre-
cation mp against him with the ease
and grace of the true artist. While
this first game proved a little lop-
sided, the Ocillians promise better re-
suits today and tomorrow. They have
a good team and play ball all right,
but simply failed to connect with vic
tory yesterday. A much better game
this afternoon is assured the fans.

The Young Woman Reporters Story.

The following food tale written by a
clever young newspaper woman is a
true story that came under her per-
sonal observation:
Il have been with the -( a pa
per in a Calf. town. for nine years
and Mac has been with us all that
time, and do not know how much
longer.
Last winter and the winter before
Mac, probably from constant night
work and improper food, got badly
run down, and could not eat mucM,
what little he did eat did not do him
much good and he always complained
he could not keep warm.
Il missed him for a while until yes
terday / overlook him on the street
going toward the office and hardly
knew the man; had it not been for the
familiar walk, I surely would have
passed without recognizing him. He
was stout, his face was round and
ruddy and his eyes bright as I had
never seen them before.
81 said, Mac, I hardly knew you,
what on earth have you been doing
to get so fat?' He replied, Grape
Nuts, nothing else. l started in on
Grape-Nuts food three months ago
when / weighed 1876 and was feeling
miserable, but now | weigh 100 and
feel better than | ever felt in my life
| quit my old diet and went on Grape
Nuts, and that's the whole story"
Exercise is necessary, but there's
no nourishment in it and proper food
alone can supply that. Grape-Nuts for
10 days is a pleasant trial and proves
big things.
There's a reason"
Look in pkgs. for the famous little
book, "The Road to MELVILLE"
Ever read the above letter. A new
one appears from time to time. They
are genuine, true and full of human
interest

WHAT THE GIRL WHO
WORKS FOR YOU LEARNS
1t Takes Servant Girls to BE Init
mate With Family

(Anne O'Hagan in Smiths Magazine.)
Sometimes l feel as if no other
folks on earth had quite as good a
chance to knew all the Nnds of people
on it as servant girls. Maybe po-
licemen do--they're always going in
to unexpected places an seem folks
in what Miss Lena which was the
fourth from the last place l lived,
called 'dishabil. 1t means not fixed
up to receive company, with the par
Tor busted an the lamps filed, an
high-heeled slippers an silk stock
ings on an hair waved, but just be-
in caught in your old shirtwaist with
no collar, an your shoes down at
the heel, an quarrelin with your
mother about something. But If
course, you'd know what 'dishabil'
meant without my tellin' you.
Not even a policeman, though, sees
the dishabilled people the way we
servants do. He comes when there's
trouble an everything is excitement.
an he can't tell whether they skimp
on family dinners so as to have a
caterer for company ones, or whether
their underclothes are thee heapest
things from the bargain counters, so
as they can spend more on the uot-
side ones. 1t takes a servant girl to
be really intimate with all the little
ways of a family, an sometimes it's
SO interestin', ma am, that you're half
inclined to think you'll stay a SER
want girl all your life, just for the
free entertainment you get, an then
again, you feel so tired of it that
you'd jump off the pier if you thought
you'd have to spend many more days
in other peoples kitchens.

New York Papers Gave ri
to Reno Fight.

New York, July johnson and
Jeffries may have worked hard fol-
their money, but the telegraph COM
panies officials said yesterday that
their men worked harder. The West.
ern Union and Postal Telegraph Com
panies estimated that 100000 words
We're sent from Reno over the wires
during the eight hours after Johnson
won the championship.
The five press associations and
seven newspaper in New York City
received, it is estimated, 100000 words
from their staff correspondents. The
other big cities shared in the remain
ing business over the direct wires
The telegraph companies will be I'M
able for several weeks. to compute
the exact number of words sent to al
newspapers in the country.
eve had eighty-fve operators al
Reno" said a Western Union official
yesterday. every transcontinental
wire was in use. From the big cities
the fight story was relayed to the
smaller cities so that every one of OH
telegraph operators experienced in
sending and receiving messages, did
a share of the giantic work"
Five direct wires flashed bulletins OF
the fight to tine press associations from
the arena. The temporary telegraph
offices in Reno were used by special
spnrting writers who represented
nearly every big newspaper in the
country. In this way Reno set new
record as a centre for distributing the
news of one single event.
The telegraph tolls paid by the Ne "
York newspapers and press associa-
TONS according to THE telegraph Off
Gals, amounted to $4,000 The en-
tire receipts over all wires of the
two companies are expected to be the
largest since the death of Queen Vic
toria.
In the seven New York newspapers
who had staff correspondents at Reno
121 columns of space were devoted to
the story of the fight. In reporting
the decision of the battle of Gettys-
burg, forty-seven years ago, the com
bined space given in four New York
newspapers did not exceed twenty
eight columns The World alone de-
voted 20 "a columns to the report of
the Reno fight.
Because of the holiday, the tele-
graph companies had little CONNER
cial business, so they gave all their
wires over to the fight news AT night
special operators were required to
handle the thousands of ffty-word
messages which were sent from Reno
to every city in the country.
The cable and wireless companies
sent reports to Europe, Cuba, South
America and ocean steamships wher-
ever they could be reached. Special
wires carried the stories Of the fight
to Canada and Mexico The Panama
canal zone also received direct news
from the press associations.
