RECEIPTS OF new COTTON
AHEAD OF LAST YEAR
Number Of August Bales Received in Americas 2l50.
Which Compares With 1850 Received at this Date
Last Season, and 5l75 Received at August 81, 1871
Receipts Reflect Good Crop

Cotton receipts of the new crop 1913
up to the close of business yesterday
aggregated 2,15O bales, which rather
exceeded the expectations of Ameri-
Gus warehousemen in view of the fact
that nearly one-half the cotton crop is
of late planting and is not yet fruited,
the cotton received having come from
that portion of early planting.
August receipts this season, not
withstanding crop conditions, are So
bales in excess of August receipts last
year, when the crop movement was
unusually late. August receipts for
three years are as follows:
Crop of 1913 ..2,150 bales
Crop of 1912 1850 bales
Crop of 1911 ..5,175 bales
The 1911 crop was the record break
er in cotton production, not only To-
cally but throughout the cotton belt,
and is known as "the bumper crop of
1911" when prices later in the sea-
son went to the minimum under the
influence of enormous receipts. There
will be no repetition this year of "the
history of 1911"
While one-half the present crop is
already made and promises a good

PEACEFUL THE
PASSING Of MISS

end FOLLOWS BRIEF ILLNESS
Beautiful Girl is Stricken
By Death

In the passing away Of Miss Annie
Williams at o'clock Saturday morn
ing, her stricken parents, Mr.. AMI
Mrs James R. Williams, have the tel.
der, heartfelt sympathy of the entire
people of Americus. The loss sus
tanned is mutual, and the tears OF
sympathetic friends will mingle with
those of the bereaved family in the
death of their idolized one.
ton had been critical, following an op
Grafton for appendicitis five days be
fore, friends had hoped that her young
life might be spared, and this hope
was buoyed by cheering reports from
the sick room each day.
But the. tender young flower was
destined to fall before the reaper ere
it blossemed into the perfection o.
beautiful womanhood. Bravely strug-
Cling against hope in the latter hours
of her illness, the young girl realized
fully the inevitable, and in full cons
ciousness that death was near, fell
asleep as peacefully as babe in its
mothers arms.
Death held no terrors for the sweet
young girl, and ere she fell to peace
full, painless slumber those nearest AMI
dearest had received the final farewell
and tender blessing. Her pure, sweet
life had been an inspiration to all, and
the end came as a heavenly benedic
tion to those who loved her best.
The deceased was the only daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. Williams, and had on
ly recently passed her seventeenth
birthday anniversary. Attractive, cul~
tured and of charming personality she
was exceedingly popular among her
friends, young and old alike, and their
grief at her death was mutual and
heartfelt.
Her short mission of love and USE
fulness in this sphere is ended, and
she has responded to the call of her
heavenly father to life immortal. To-
day she lies in peaceful, dreamless
sleep beneath wilderness of flowers
whose delicate fragrance and rare
beauty are but emblematic of her pure,
sweet young life here.
The funeral exercises Will be con-
Quoted from the First Methodist church
of which the deceased was a member,
at 2:15 o'clock this afternoon, by Rev.
Bascom Anthony, of Dublin, and the
pastor, Rev. j. A. Thomas, this having
been Miss Williams request. She also
desired the hymn, ''He Leadeth Me" be
rendered, among the other selections.
The Americus Bar association will
assemble at the church at 2 o'clock
to act as honorary escort from the
church to the cemetery at Ellaville,
where the exercises will be concluded
at 4:30 o'clock. Special coaches will Dc
attached to the Central train leaving
at 3:45 O'Clock, for the funeral party
and other friends.

ed crop is still a problem. Under
the influence of recent rains much OF

Receipts in Americus yesterday were
499 wagon bales, and while no market
reports we're received because of hol-
iday on the cotton exchanges the local
market was active and the greater por-
ton of the cotton brought in was solf
at prices ranging from II "a cents to
12 cents.
A comparison OF prices at this dat.
for three years, as shown by the files
of the Times Recorder, follow: August
81, 1911, good middlng was quoted
at 10 ga cents; August 81, 1912, the
same grade brought IL ga cents, as il
did yesterday, when most of the sales
effected were at that satisfactory fig
ure.
Farmers evidence disposition to
sell their cotton as fast as marketef
at prevailing quotations. All of that
marketed so far is of excellent quaiity
and brings top notch prices.

New York, Sept. 19.-Detectives,

Hans Schmidt, the priest who con-
fessed to numbering Anna Aumuller,
sought today to fathom what he had
on his mind last April when he pho
tographed the death certificate of
Robert Smith, one of his parishoners.
The police believe that he was either
making preparations to dispose of the
Aumuiler girl or had planned other
murders, as photographs of the GER
t1flcate and blank forms issued by
the board of health were found in
Schmidts trunk. When questioned,
Schmidt gave little information con-
eerning the discoveries.
Inspector Faurot said that he was
looking for another woman, but gave
no further details.
The police delved further into the
past of Ernst Muret, and in spite of
the denials of the men, they believe
the two are relatives.
The only other woman whose name
has been associated with Schmidt is
known as Helen Green This was
CLEANED from a letter found in
Schmidts trunk. At the apartment.
where she had lived until a month
ago, it was said that she had gone to
Chicago.
