New York, May 18.-The cotton
market opened firm at an advance of
to Is points with all the old crop
positions making new high records
for the season and with July contracts
selling at 1906 on the call as a result
of continued covering, support from
spot people, firm Liverpool cables,
more encouraging reviews OF the dry
goods situation and continued good
weather in the South.
The renewal of bull support noted
before midday started fresh wave
of covering by old crop shorts dur
ing the early afternoon and July
contracts sold up to 1904 or points
higher and within a point of the early
high record. August was relatively
easy, barely recovering last nights

Americus will have nearly three
miles of we'll paved streets this year
when the important work now under
way is completed, for not only viii
every street in the immediate business
section be paved. but the improvement
will extend to Jackson street south,
and to Cotton avenue as well.
From the Seaboard passenger ana
freight depots clear across the city
to the Central railway alton, a dis
lance of a mile and half, the paving
work will be extended.
No city in the state, south of Macon,
will have the mileage in street paving
that Americas will have
Engineer John B. Ansley and his
corps of surveyors are fast complet-
ing the street surveys preliminary to
the work in hand This survey covers
every business street, Cotton avenue,
Jackson street to the Seaboard depots,
Lee street from the Artesian corner
to Church, and a portion of Church
street.
This work completed, Council will
determine just how far the paving of
the streets can be extended.
The Streets to be Paved.
The streets to be paved this summer
are Jackson street north from the Sea
board depot to Jefferson, distance of
six blocks.
Lamar street from the Artesian COR
ner to Hampton street, distance of
three blocks.
Cotton avenue, from the Harris hard
ware store north to the Central depot,
a distance of five blocks, with probably
a spur to the freight depot one block
away.
Forsyth street from the courthouse

COTTON MARKETS

New Orleans, La, May 18.-Cotton
futures opened steady at an advance
of 3 to points on good cables. The
weather was called favorable on the
whole as the map for the cotton belt
was warm and dry. but complaints
of drouth in Oklahoma, and a few
other sections increased and caused
nervousness among new crop shorts.
In the old crop months shorts were
good buyers around the first call. Of
ferings were scanty and the market
had a good tone in consequence. AT
the end of the first half hour of bus
mess the list was points over yes
.terday's close.
In the afternoon session the market
was featureless. At 2 O'Clock the old
crops were to points down and the
new crops were unchanged to l up
compared with yesterdays close.

GUN CLUB SHOOTS
GROW In INTEREST
Grounds are Gradually Being
Improved

For the second time this season the
Americas Gun Club enjoyed excellent
trap shooting at the clubs grounds
Wednesday afternoon.
The attendance at the second shoot
was large and enthusiastic. Better
scores, too, were the results of greater
familiarity with the trap and grounds.
1t is planned to have the traphouse and
stands painted at an early date, there
by improving the appearance of the
grounds and the general equipment.
Seats will be installed for visitors
who care to attend, so that the shoots
may be enjoyed in comfort by the spec
tators. The membership of the club
is most encouraging and a decided in
crease is expected as soon as the sea-
son is we'll under way.

COMPLETING SURVEY OF STREETS
WHERE PAVING is PROPOSED

block on Church between Lee and
Jackson streets, thus covering very
thoroughly every street close in to the
city's center.s
This latter work is not fully a GER
.tainty, but it is quite likely that It
will be extended there.
Material Not Selected Yet.
AS previously stated, Council has
not full determined the kind of mate
rial to be used in street paving wheth-
err bitulithic, wood block, vitrified
brick or asphaltum. When the sur
veys are finally completed an accurate
estimate of cost will be made and the
material selected.
Council will secure the lowest and
best bids on paving material and every
advantage thus secured for the prop
erty owners.
Engineer Ansley is quite confident
that the entire paving work can be
completed during the months of sum-
mer and early fall With the money
for paving in hand from the bond sale
there will be no delay in the work, and
it will be pushed to completion when
once a beginning is made,
Americas has about fifteen miles Of
concrete paved sidewalks, and the
paving of the streets will be the next
step in the march of progress.
The Cost of OiIing Streets.
The experiment now being made of
oiling a portion OF Lee street is prov
ing quite satisfactory. and the work
may be extended if property owners so
desire. Just now the block between
the railway bridge on Lee street to
Brannon avenue is being oiled, thus
settling the dust problem there.
From Brannon avenue to Church
street the cost of oiling Lee street
would be less than 5000, in an esti-
mate made by Engineer Ansley.
The cost is not considerable, when
the immense relief from dust is con-
sidered In fact, the cost to individ-
ual property owners would be only
about SO or $40, it is said, and this
would cover two applications of oil,
which would be sufficient to hold the
dust for six months.
Next year one application of oil
would be sufficient to afford relief from
the dust plague.

REASONS ARE GIVEN
FOR BUYING AT HOME
Should Help Build Up Home
Trade

1t is the policy of The Times-Re-
corder to do everything in its power
to stimulate every branch of legiti-
mate business in the city, and in pur-
suance of this policy it will be the pur-
pose of the management to print ev-
cry live, stimulating article that mas
something helpful for local merchants.
The following article, courteously
furnished by Secretary Clarence I.
White, of the Board of Trade, is one
of unusual interest and helpfulness to
every merchant and advertiser in the
city:
Ten Good Reasons For Home Buying.
First-Your home merchants can du-
plicate the prices made by any re-
sponsible concern anywhere on goods
of equal quality, and in the same
quantities and on the same basis of
delivery and payment
Second-You can examine your pur-
chases in the home stores and be as
sured of satisfaction before investing
your money
Third-Your home merchants are al
ways ready and willing to make right
any error of any defective article pur-
chased.
Fourth-Your home merchants help
support, through direct and indirect
taxation, your schools, churches, Ii
braries and other public institutions.
F'ifth-Your home merchants help
make a good local market for every
thing you have to sell, and that mar
ket-more' than any other one fac
tor-gives your land its present value.
Sixth-Your home merchants are
your good friends, ever ready to ex-
tend a helping hand in time of need.
SEVENTH this community is good
enough for you to live in and make
your money in, it's good enough to
spend it in.
Eighth-The best citizens in this
community are those who believe in
and practice home patronage. Be one
of the best.
Ninth-The merchants in the distant
city give you nothing valuable that
the home merchants cannot give you
and the former cannot and will not
do for you many things the latter dc
gladly
Tenth-Every dollar kept in circula-
! ton in this community helps increase
property values. Every dollar sent out
of this community that could as well
be spent here hinders the wheels OF
progress and helps build UP some
other community at your expense.
