COTTON BURNS
WITH WAREHOUSE
IN BUENA VISTA
LOSS Is NOT CONSIDERABLE
Lowe Warehouse Was Burned
Wednesday

Parties from Buena Vista in Ameri-
Gus yesterday related particulars of
the destruction by fire of the ware
house of Mr. George R. Lowe, which
with it's contents of cotton bales and a
carload of jute bagging recently stored
there, went up in smoke proving "A
complete loss.
The fire was discovered about 8
o'clock yesterday morning and was
probably due to accident, as the origid
was not known at the time.
The building was of brick and con-
tained only twelve bales of cotton, for
tunately, as the crop movement is not
yet on in that locality. The building
was insured for $4,000, which was y
it's full value. The carload of bagging
was also covered by insurance.
The fire was confined to the ware
house building, only the gaunt bare
walls of which were standing yester-
day.

Washington, D. c., Sept. 3.-Repre-

of the house, was at the white house
today to discuss tariff questions with
President Wilson.
We hope to dispose of the differ
ences between the house and senate
in conference in less than two weeks.
said Mr.. Underwood.
II am not disposed to fight the
senate for the purpose of maintaining
all the house provisions There are
no differences of principle involved.
II believe the senate has cut too
much revenue from the bill, and if I
can convince the conferees that nv
estimates are correct, I think the
senate will be willing to put some OF
the revenue back"

finance committee, also called to talk
to the president about the tariff.

Thought That Difficulties viii
Be Overcome

Washington, D. c., Sept 2.-In view
of the failure of the army and navy
authorities to reach decision as to
the place for holding the annual foot
ball game, Mr.. Daniels, the secretary
of the navy, and Mr.. Garrison, the
secretary of war, have taken UP the
question to prevent the abandonment
of the game.
"The annual football game between
the army and navy teams" said Sec
retary Daniels, has become a ma
tional event, and is looked forward to
with much pleasure and interest by
the officers and men of the services
and their friends. Questions of de-
tail as to the number and distribution
of tickets, I think, should not be al
lowed to stand in the way of the game
want the game played this year rs

the question as to where it shall be
held"

FIVE DOLLARS
THE INCREASED
COTTON Value
AS ADDED TO EVERY BALE
Within Two Days and Still
Going Higher

Every bale of cotton in Amerlcus
Yesterday was worth S. more than II
was worth three days previous, as the
result of the bulge in values and con-
timed sky-rocketing of the market.
Since Monday values have piled upon
values. and the end is not yet. If cot
+on goes to fourteen cents within a
brief period, no one here would be in
the last surprised.
It was worth IL ga cents here yes
terday. or one cent pound more than
il would have brought last Friday
when top prices were II 3-4 cents
here.
The bulge in values was brought
about by the bureau report on crop
condition. which has caused a buIl
stampede all over the cotton world
and sent the bears hiking in alarm to
cover. Rarely has there been such ex-
citement in the cotton trade.
Values have pyramided, and fortunes
have been made-and lost-in the
Iightning-like fluctuations of the fu-
lures market. AS evidence of this, on
one report yesterday values on the Oc-
tober option jumped from 1903 to 1882
an advance of a quarter cent at one
bound. The trade looked on and won
dered what would happen next.
Within two days the contract mar
ket has advanced SO points, or $4.5)
,-per bale, going from 1928 cents for
October to 1916 cents, yesterdays
closing figure.
Americus buyers were actively in
the swim yesterday and bought cotton
freely around 12 IL to IL ga cents.
Farmers were jubilant at the uneX-
pected high prices now, as the advance
usually comes after they have sold
their bales. But they are riding in
their outos now and getting the rich
cream of the September business.
Bankers and merchants, as we'll as
farmers, are elated over present con-
'ditions. Only the "bears" are getting
properly skinned" as the result OF
crop conditions.

Mr.. w. D. Haynes, one of Americus'
aged and esteemed citizens, greeted
cordially on yesterday those friends
whom he had not seen in long while
by reason of total blindness. An oper-
alton successfully performed recently
has restored the sight of his left eye,
and Mr.. Haynes while probably eighty
years of age, can again walk the streets
unassited and meet his friends. The
vision of his left eye is now well-nigh
normal again, after having been blind
ed by a cataract for more than eight
months.

INSPECTOR Will
EXAMINE BOXES
At COTTON GINS
DEALERS TO BEAR EXPENSE.
GinneFS Must Conform to the
New Rule

Americus warehousemen and ship
pers are exceedingly anxious that gin
ners throughout the Americus terri
tory conform to the rule laid down by
the ocean transportation lines re-
garding the uniform cotton bale offered
for shipment, and are bringing to bear
every argument to save to their farm
er customers the penalty imposed for
any violation of the established rule.
Any grower who markets bale OF
cotton that does not conform to the
size of the standard bale, 27 by 81
inches, will pay a penalty of 81 per
bale, no matter to what market he
takes his cotton. Eventually the non.
uniform bale must reach SAVANNAH,
and there the charge is deducted by
the steamship lines.
For two months past the Americas
warehousemen, buyers and shippers
have urged upon ginners the absolute
necessity of changing their press boxes
to meet the size of the uniform bale
27 by 54 inches. Many ginners have
already made the change.
A day or two ago a meeting of the
Americus warehousemen, railway
agents, compress people, buyers, sales
men and shippers was held, and at
tended by thirty or forty people en-
gagged in the cotton trade. The follow
ing resolution was adopted:
Resolved, That We employ, at our
joint expense, some one to make a
thorough measurement of every press
box in the Americus territory. These
measurements are to be furnished the
warehousemen, and a strict enforce
ment of 81 per bale penalty placed on
every bale coming from any except the
standard 27x54 box"
The object of the meeting and reso-
luton adopted are fully understood.
Local cotton dealers, anxious to pro-
tect their customers, will send out :
man to inspect gin boxes and see to II
that the requirements of the steamship
lines are needed. If grower is fore
ed to pay the penalty Of marketing q
non-uniform bale, the fault is entirely
his own.
The new law became operative Mon
day last. So far all bales of the near
ly 5000 marketed in Americus to this
date, had the required proportions, n
by 81 inches. !
