BUSINESS DEALT A BLOW
BY SLUMP In COTTON

Americus warehousemen, merchants
and farmers alike suffered financially
as the result of the unwarranted
slump in cotton prices yesterday, the
result of sensational reports sent out
regarding the Mexic situation, togeth-
er with the bearish effect brought
about by the ginners' report showing
$685. 900 bales cotton ginned to No
vember 1st.
The result was break of forty
points in the cotton market, or 81 per
bale loss to the farmers. Thirteen
cents was the top level price paid here
following the receipt of the ginners'
report, while the larger number OF
sales were made at IL 7-S cents.
Many holders would not sell on yes
terday's market, and the effect was
felt in business circles generally.

MAGAZINE COMMENTS
ON WOMAN'S WORK

Atlanta, Ca, Nov. 8.-The noble
work being done by undetermined mon
and women to improve civic conditions
in the mountain districts of this Sec
tion of the country is described and
lauded in a leading editorial of the
current issue of Frost's magazine "Ths
Call of the South"
Miss Lydia Holman, whose work has
been particularly in the North Caro-
lima mountains, is quoted in an inter-
esting way:
There are lonely women and neg
lected babies in these mountains. Our
interest for the present is principally
in motherhood and babyhood.
.+"'It never occurs to us that we are
educating the foreigner who does not
know our language to be a better cit
izen than We are educating our coun-
try boy, who is he is given one-third
of a chance, will return one hundred
per cent. value. There is spirit and
soul and mind In the mountains. If
we do not cultivate it in the American
rural boy and girl, l do not know
where we are going to draw our m \
terial for better citizenship from"
