Big MACHINERY is HERE
FOR WORK In PAVING
Start Will Be Made EARLY
Next Week

With pOnderOus machines required
in the work of street paving at hand,
the contractors will be ready, proba-
bly, by tomorrow, to begin the initial
work of paving on Lamar street, where
the surface dirt is being removed pre-
paratory to laying foundation for the
creosoted blocks.
Another huge engine with dimen-
sions of a small locomotive came yes
terday and is anchored in the side
street between the hotel and postof-
fee.
After the surface dirt is removed
from Lamar street a smooth surface
Of concrete, four inches in thickness,
is put down. This is the foundation
for the creosoted blocks. week IS
required for the concrete to dry before
the blocks are laid.
This necessity causes the greatest
delay, as when the concrete founda-
ton becomes hardened the blocks can
be put down rapidly.
Within ten days, or two weeks at the
farthest, Lamar street, paved smooth
ly from he artesian well to the no.
tel corner, a distance of two blocks,
will again be open to traffic as the
first paved street
The next work will be done on Lee,
from the courthouse corner to the
Methodist church, a distance of a
quarter mile. The paving of the bus
mess section will follow rapidly in o.
der that the streets may not be block
ed during the rush season.
Already Lee and Lamar are closed
to traffic in the territory above men

PILING Up RECEIPTS OF
BALES In AMERICAS
Cotton Coming at a Lively
Rate This Week

That Americas cotton receipts 81
the new crop will easily total 1000
bales by tonight, when the old sea-
son of 1910-1911 closes and the new
season of 1911-1912 begins, is a fore
gone conclusion, thus beating all
previous August records. A month
ago the prediction was made that
Americas might receive 5000 to $500
bales August cotton, but the most OPP
timistic booster never dreamed for
moment that warehouse receipts
would total 1000 bales. Picking has
been general this week, wherever lab
or could be procured, and farmers are
bending every energy to get out their
cotton before a storm strikes this way
and ruins it. Receipts here up TO
last Saturday night were 5000 bales,
and this number has been greatly in
creased by daily receipts at the ware
houses. In previous years the largest
receipts for August in any season, did
not exceed $500 bales.

New Orleans, August 30.--Cotton flu
lures opened steady at a decline of 4
to points on poor cables. Scattered
short selling featured the early trad
ing, but the market was steadied 0y
the heavybidding of Hayne for All
gust. He bid for ten thousand bale
lots and steadily bought the market
up from ITO to 11.90. In all, how
ever, the ring had less than 1000 bales
to sell him. These sales were equiv
alent to spot transa lions. The storm
warning for the Texas and Louisiana
coasts resulting from a disturbance
apparently developing in the middle
of the Gulf of Mexico, prevented gen.
eral short selling of the new crops.
At the end of the first half hour Of
business August was 10 points over
yesterdays close, and the new crops
were 4 to points.
Selling increased on reports of inn
provements in the Texas crop as the
result of recent rains and toward the
middle of the morning the trading
months were 8 to II points under
yesterdays close. Here private con-
dition report, 74.9, was received from
both sides. Prices recovered to the
level of yesterdays close and at noon
the more active months were / to 2
points up net.
In the afternoon session the mar
ket was quiet but steady. At 2
o'clock prices were to points over
yesterdays close

COTTON MARKETS

New York, August 33O.-The cotton
market opened steady at decline Of
SO points on August, which was infiu-
enced by a little scattering liqui-
dation and rumOrs that the old bulls
had disposed of the local stock to a
leading spot interest on the basis OF
December contracts. Other months
opened from to Y points lower in
response to disappointing cables and
in sympathy with the near months,
and while they rallied or 7 points
from the lowest during the first few
minutes on reports that a storm was
developing in the gulf and that storm
warnings had been posted along the
Louisiana and Texas coasts, the mar
lIet failed to hold all the improve
mehts owing to southern selling and
an easier turn in New Orleans, which
had been relatively steady early.
August sold off to 1927 1-2 midday
o" to a net decline of about Il points,
ana the lowest pri reachedby that
lCsition since it sold at 1856 last
JdIe. There seemed to be quite lit
tie for sale and several thousand bales
changed hands on the decline, which
was supposed to reflect the abandon
ment of the bull version by the old
crop leaders, although these interests
were credited with buying on a scale
down. Interpretations ruler irregu-
lar but held steady in the main on ru-
mors that a private crop report to be
issued around midday would make the
ondition IS per cent against 90.1 last
month.

NEW BUILDING IS GOING
FORWARD With A RUSH
Among the HaRdSOmGst In
All South Georgia

Americas will very soon boast the
bandsomest banking house in South
ern Georgia, as the beautiful pile If
marble and stone of the Commercial
City Bank assumes finished proper
tons. The design of this building,
fashioned after that of the New York
Clearing House, assures one of mas
sfve proportions and magnificent ex-
terror appearance, while the interior
will be equally complete in every
minute detail. The work upon such
q building is, necessarily, slow, many
of the massive stones weighing tons
each and being difficult to handle, but
skilled workmen are pressing forward
the work in hand and it will be ready
for occupancy in early autumn. No
building in Americas, public or priv
ate, will surpass in architectural beau
ty that of the Commercial City Bank.

Weeds in The STREETS
SHOULD BE CUT down
Menace to Health and AD-
pGardRCGS, Too

Americas may not be allowing the
grass to grow under her feet" to use
a popular term, but that the weeds
are doing some business in the matter
Of growth cannot be denied. On some
residence streets the weeds are waist
high along the pavements. This is
particularly true of lower Cotton ave-
nue., East Americas, Brooklyn Heights
and residence streets on the South
side. Even Goat Park, in the residence
center, is fringed with weeds which,
like the goats, are of the non-aromat-
ic variety. 1t is true that the street
force is busily employed on other
work now, but a little work in this
direction would prove most beneficial.
How about the streets beautiful"

Work in the local music studio con-
Quoted by Miss Annie May Bell, will
be resumed on Monday, September II.
Indications are that the attendance in
all branches of the work here will be
exceptionally large. In fact, there is
little doubt that all records for attend
ance will be broken.
One week after the opening of the
local school the branch school recent

having completed arrangements for
the opening of the class there.
On the evening of September Is a re-
cital will be given in MonteZuma as a
preliminary to the beginning of tie
work of the regular term.
An innovation which Miss Bell viii
make in her work this term will be
the study of the musicians of a given
era by the aid of prints and other APP
propriate historical matter. In this
way the pupils in the various classes
will be given an excellent idea of con-
temporary conditions which existed
at the time when the great compos-
ers did their work. This helpful fea-
ture will be made as complete and
varied in it's extent as it is possible 20
make it by means of the best prints
obtainable and with the aid of intelli-
gent and sympathetic treatment of his

to do with bringing about the change

up the interest of the masses.
His ideals are high, as shown by his
continued advocacy of clean govern

right of the laborer to the enjoyment
of the fruits of his toll, and the unfal-
tering faith he exhibits in the final tri-
umph of popular government over the
ills with which it is beset by teaching
the people to think for themselves,

GOV. WILSON'S Wife
TALKS ON GIRLS
No Rush For Girls to Marry
In These Days

Sea Girt, N. j., August 30.-Mrs.
Woodrow Wilson and her second
daughter, Jessie, who are accompany
ing the Governor on his trip to the
state institutions devoted to the care
of the feeble-minded, are interested N
that work.
Before leaving Mrs. Wilson said she
feels that the successful wife is one
who meets her husband at every turn
as his intellectual complement and
companion. The party is travelling IN
tour with us, and l ws2S'- glad to ar
range to go. The tour will be made n
an automobile.
Now that my daughters are grown
l can devote more time out of my
home than l could in years gone by
Mrs. Wilson said. This trip with the
governor is one that interests me par
ticularly. So much is being done in
our institutions to correct mental and
physical infrmities.
81 think every one should keep in
touch with such work. My daughter
Jessie, who goes with me, is specialize
ing in settlement work. Ever since she
finished her course at college in Balti-
more, and after she had years play
time in social way, she took up the
work in the Kensington district set
Element of the Episcopal Church in
Norh Philadelphia. She was particu-
larly eager to go on tins inspection
range it. Nothing pleases me so much
as to have my daughters show an in
terest in the public welfare. Their
father is what l call practical ideal
ist.' His constructive ideality has
been impaired in great measure to my
three daughters"
would you rather that your daugh-
ter follow a career than be married: :"
Mrs. Wilson was asked.
'Oh, every mother wants her daugh-
tiers to marry, but the time has gone
when a mother wants to rush her girls
from the finishing school to the altar.
That girls are marrying less early
than formerly makes, l think, for bet
ter family life. They have a chance
to develop in an all-round way. They
become individual and Independent to
a necessary degree and are fitted bet
ter to share the sponsibilities of
married life with their husbands than
younger, less mature girls. When l
was a girl things were quite different.
1t was not thought quite proper for a
girl to assert herself in any way. In
the colleges in Georgia, where I went
to school, We never heard of a girl
reading her own essays. 1t was thought
too bold. Professors or teachers read
them"
