NOW LOOK
FOR The IS
CENT COTTON
OUTLOOK REGARDED GOOD
Crops Shortened by Frost
and Tone BuIIiSh

Savannah, Ga, Nov. 6.-Will cotton
of the spot" variety go to 13 cents
per pound in the near future? This is
about the most pertinent question now
to be solved by the cotton trade OF
the country Spot and free on board
cotton at Savannah reached 12 cents
yesterday morning on the first call and
actual cotton is now selling at the
highest value since the opening of the
season on Sept. /.
1t is pointed out by well-informed
traders that conditions are generally
favorable for a radical advance within
the next few weeks, which will make
13-cant cotton a reality. Frosts have
played very important part in the
upward trend of the market, but the
strenuous activity of the shorts at
New York, New Orleans and elsewhere
who are apparently very much fright
ened' by the general compilations of
things, has exercised further help
full influence for the upward march of
the general futures, and through SYM
pathetic influence, the local spot and
free on board markets.
In the past ten days there has been
at a rough estimate, an advance of
practically 1876 points. This is | 1-4c
per pound and the local values have
worked consistently upward
One of the most notable conditions
in the trade comes from foreign
source. 1t is, in a word, the con-
sistent character of the buying for
foreign consumers, which has and is
now being afforded. All hands ap-
parently realize that the crop for this
season will be short and the pur-
chases now are in the nature of pro-
vision for future requirements of the
spinning trade at large.
While the great cotton trade of the
country has set considerable store ON
the popular opinion that the total
yield for this year would approximate
a triie better than fourteen five"T-
or in other words, 14,500,O0O bales
every estimate that is issued appar-
emily shows that this opinion is fall
lacy Miss Giles, who is noted for
the accuracy of her estimates, re-
Gently issued a bulletin which shows
an estimate of 13,6OOOOO bales, and
the government bureau report which
is to be issued on Nov 5 is expected
TO show less cotton ginned to Nov. 1
than had been anticipated; at any
rate, this was the result of the last
bureau report

COLLEGE IN
NEED OF ITS
$4,000 FUND
But NO RESPONSE RECEIVED
To Letters Sent to Governor
Brown

Greatly in need of the $4,000 fund
that should Ge due it at this time the
Third District Agricultural and Me-
chanical college finds that this fund is
not available. Every effort has been
made by the authorities to secure the
fund, according to Superintendent Col
lum and Treasurer Crawford WheatIey
of the board of trustees.
1t will be recalled that the fund of
$4,000 due the local school when the
school itself had raised a correspond
ing fund was made available by the
recent legislature when certain condi-
tions had been complied with. Mr..
Wheatley said yesterday that all these
conditions had been complied with by
the authorities of the college, but that
the fund was still kept back by the
state department.
LII speaking OI Illt uldLtol, WI
Wheatley said that he had written
Governor Brown twice relative to the
adjustment of the matter, but that he
had received no response from the ex-
ecutive department. The final accept
ance of the building by the proper
committee was made recently and affi-
davits to this effect have been filed
with the governor. In addition to this,
every requirement has been met, as de-
fined by the act passed by the recent
legislature, so that the college authori-
ties do not understand why there is no
response from the executive depart
ment relative to the matter.

LEE COURT
MAY LAST
ALL WEEK
Pretty Heavy Docket to be
Disposed Of

After taking half holiday election
day it seems that it will require the
remainder of the week to complete the
work in Lee superior court. Judge Lit
tlejohn gave a half holiday Tuesday,
having held court during the morning
and dismissed in the afternoon.
Not alone is this half holiday re-
sponsible for the prolongation of the
court during the week, as the main
cause is the rather heavy docket that
is up for consideration. Judge Little
john said yesterday that it would prob
ably require the remainder of the week
to dispose of the cases on the docket.
This is rather unusual for the Lee
county superior court, as the docket is
Usually one that is readily disposed of
within three or four days at the out
side, and often much earlier.

Chairman Hilles, of the Republican

says:
"The detection from the republican
party accounts for the results. The
responsibility for this must rest
squarely and solely upon Mr.. Roose-
velt's action in deserting the reppb-
lican party But for this Mr.. Taft
would unquestionably have been elect
