AMERICUS HAS GOOD RECEIPTS

Americus mercantile interests feel to
an extent the effect of declining val

the net loss being So to 81 per bale
from the top notch range of values last
week. With warehouse receipts of 400
to 500 bales per day, the loss, it will
be seen, is considerable in the ag-
gregate. Still, 13 cents is a mighty
good price for cotton, and the old
staple still continues to sell at about
that figure. Receipts in Americus, as
elsewhere in south Georgia, continue
good, and with another two or three

the crop in Sumter will have been

Everything about the maneuvers

The tests were made in trooO,
squadron, regimental and brigade for
nation. One feature of the new cav
airy system was the drills without bu-
BILE calls or shouted commands. Save
the clatter of the horses feet absolute
silence prevailed.
With the minor formation maneuvers
executed came the climax in the bril-
gade charge, at the conclusion of which
the troops rode across the hills to their
camp at Fort Myer. The brigade was
commanded by Colonel c. H. Murray.
Great crowds of people thApnged the
