DEPRESSING
IS SLUMP
IN COTTON
END is NOT YET in SIGHT
Makes Farmers Feel Very
Blue

In Americus as in the smaller towns
in this vicinity, much interest is mani
tested in the course of the cotton mar
ket due largely to the fact that many
thousands of bales are still held in
warehouses, which the farmers are
anxious to sell at anything like an
advantageous price.
Unfortunately for them, however,
the course of the market continues
downward, and the end cannot be
forecasted. Cotton which would have
brought u 3-4 cents to 13 cents two
weeks ago would barely have brought
II cents yesterday, as there was a
sudden break of twenty points in the
March option from the closing quota
tion of the day previous.
This decline, of course, keeps the
buyers out of the market to a great
extent nor do holders especially care
to sell under such break in values.
There are probably $500 bales held
in Americus warehouses, awaiting a
favorable change in the market price,
while twice that number of bales are
held, collectively, in the three or four
smaller markets tributary.

FRANK DIXON
TO BE HEARD
IN AMERICUS
WILL Be here NEXT WEEK
He is an Eloquent Platform
Orator

Announcement is made by the Ly-
ceum management that Frank Dixon,
the widely known lecturer, will be
heard here next Wednesday evening at
the High School auditorium
MIR. Dixon has been heard here be-
fore, and there will be few who heard
him last season who will not wish
to hear him again. His lecture this
time will be an even more entertaining
one than the one last year.
Mr.. c. G. Youmans, manager of the
Lyceum course, announces that spe-
cial tickets will be seld to the three
remaining attractions of the season
for one dollar This includes the Dix
on lecture next week, The other at
fractions are Everett Kemp, mono
logist, and the DeKoven Male Quar-
tette.
The offer of tickets to these three
sterling attractions at the price of
one dollar is, indeed, unusual. The
effort will be made to sell the largest
possible number of tickets at this new
price, in order that something worth
while may be cleared for the fund
that is to be used for the equipment OF
the High School stage. q

the committee issued the following:
Macon, Ca, Jan. 16, 1913.
To the Press and the Public:
In view of the fact that some news
paper articles have appeared which
are liable to place the president cf
Mercer university in false light in
the minds of the public and Georgia
Baptists, the committee appointed by
the board of trustees to investigate
the general relations Of the executive
departments of the university, desire
to make the following statement:
This committee was never appoint
ed to probe the president He has
never been accused of dishonesty, dis
loyalty, or anything involving his
personal character or integrity.
After patient investigation of the
prevailing conditions we have been
made aware of differences which We
have no doubt the board of trus-
tees will be competent to manage
when our findings shall have been
made to them; but we do not believa
that conditions are such as to demand
immediate action on their part.
Therefore our report will be made to
the board at it's next meeting which
will probably be in June.

BASCULE OR JACKKNIFE
BRIDGE AT BELLEVILLE?

The joint freeholders' bridge COM
mittee of Essex, Hudson and Ber-
gen counties met yesterday to dis
cuss the question of whether or not
a bascule or jackknife type of bridge
would be suitable over the Passaic
river, at Belleville. Bids received
on plans for a structure of the draw
type were far in excess of the pro-
posed cost of S165,000.
Chairman Malta and several Of
the members of the committee were
favorable to the jackknife plan. The
three chairmen of the county bridge
committees and engineers were au-
thorized to inspect several BASQUE
bridges in use.
They will make their report at a
meeting on July 1, in the Overlook
Hospital. At that time revised bids
of both the draw and .jackknife type
bridges win be submitted.

PEN|TENTIARY IN
ESSEX APPROVED
Report, With Suggestions, Is
Made to County Branch of
State Charities Aid.

Excellent management prevails at
the Essex county penitentiary, ac-
eording to aAfull report made by VIII
son Farrand Walter Kidde and Clar-
snce L. Stonaker to the Essex Coun-
fy Branch of the State Charities Aid
Association. Several improvements,
however. are suggested.
From the material standpoint, "
the report sets forth, there is need
for a new administration wing, to
contain kitchens, dining-room and
POSSIBLY an assembly room for re-
iigious exercises and other gather
ings.
Another desirable improvement
would be the erection of another
wing, devoted to the accommodation
Df prisoners.
in the third place, we urge strong
" the acquiring by the freeholders
DE- the farm adjacent to the peniten-
tiary grounds This would not only
give opportunity for the profitable
employment If an even larger num-
Der Of prisoners, but it would also
provide room for other county insti-
tutions that may be needed in the
more or less remote future.
ION the administrative side, We are
phatically of the opinion that the
present plans and kind of work should
be extended and made more efficient.
There is need of & competent farmer
and Of a gardener to take charge of
he prisoners engaged in this kind of
york, and to instruct them as well as
b superintend."
