At the meeting Friday night of the
subscribers to stock Ill the Southern
Art Metal Company, OF Americas, it
was decided to increase the capital
stock to $50, instead of $35,O00.
This was decided upon after a talk

metal products plants through the
North. Mr.. Hightower stated that all
plants that he visited were running
night and day, and that they had more
business than they could take care Of
He also stated that he was told by the
managers of these concerns to be sure
and locate where there was ample
room for expansion as this industry is
growing rapidly every year.
After this report number of stock
holders stated that they would double
their subscriptions believing that n

tensive business. Materials for the
construction of the plant have already
been ordered ana will arrive soon, &C :
cording to the statements made.

COTTON CROP
Will PROVE
NORMAL one
PRICES ARE STILL GOOD
Crop Worth More Than Last
Years

With the close of November yester-
day cotton receipts at the Americus
warehouses had exceeded slightly the
$4,000 bale mark, which figures point
to ultimate receipts exceeding 10000
bales, making this crop a normal one.
Compared with the crop of two years
ago Q910) receipts at this date ex-
ceed 1910 receipts by 2,10O bales.
Comparison is not to be made with
last year, when receipts were abnor
mally large, the greatest ever produc-
ed in a season in this section. Des-
pite the difference in receipts this sea-
son and last year, this crop, though
smaller in number of bales, is selling
for great deal more money than did
last seasons crop, owing to the
higher prices prevailing this season. In
Americus cotton is selling now at
IL IL cents, against cents one year
ago.
Americus warehouses will received
5000 or 5000 bales more, no doubt,
during the season, which will make the
or more.
