COTTON TOOK
SLUMP AGAIN
ON YESTERDAY
NO SALES EFFECTED HERE
No Immediate Increase Ap
parent

Americus warehousemen with 1000
or 1000 bales of cotton to sell were
than pleased with market
conditions yesterday. With loss of
a quarter cent per pound on Saturday
and another slump almost as great
yesterday they wondered when the end
of the present decline will be reached
While the loss in two days has been
narly a half cent per pound, or $3.50
per bale, in the futures market. spot
cotton here has not been affected to
that extent, though considerable, nev-
ertheless Americus buyers stated
yesterday that while no sales were re
ported locally, cotton of the finer
grades would still bring twelve cents
readily The spot market does not al
ways decline in sympathy with fu-
lures, particularly if there is a strong
demand for cotton.
The decline of nearly half cent in
two days is attributed to the war situa
ton in Turkey and Mexico and also
to the threatened strike on fifty-follr
railway systems, which would proba-
bly, tie up traffic very effectively for
some time.

WHAT Will
BE RESULT
OF Meeting
AT BRUNSWICK TO- DAY
When Empire League DirCC-
tors Assemble

Fans here are awaiting with inter-
est the meeting called for today to as
semble in Brunswick and to include
the directors of the Empire State
league. The meeting is an important
one, and upon its results will probably
hinge the destiny of the league.
1t was stated here yesterday by the
officials of the club that the need OF
attendance of a representative of the
local club had not been shown to the n
so far They have received no indica-
ton from the officials of the league or
from Cordele that Cordele will take
part in the league. Unless such is the
case, there is no need of Americus
sending a representative to the Bruins
wick meeting today.
Consideration was had yesterday of
the matter of sending a representative,
and it was decided that under the cir
cumstances, Americus would not
bother about having one present in
Brunswick today. If the result of the
meeting there is at all encouraging,
Americus will be represented at any
meeting that may be held later, but
there will probably be no one to rep
resent this city in Brunswick today.

PERRY LIPE TO MANAGE
The INDIAN TEAM AGAIN
Players Are Being Signed in
Savannah

Americus friends of Perry Lipe, who
has been a citizen here since the base
ball season at Savannah ended last
year, and who, with Mrs. Lipe is now
visiting friends in Illinois, will be in
terested in knowing that he has again
been selected by the management to
head the Savannah team in the South
ern league for the Forthcoming sea
sen.
Lipe's work last season was fre-
quently commentd upon by the vari-
Gus club owners, as being entirely sat
isfactory, and while the formal ap,
pointment of the silent one as manager
will scarcely be made until the next
meeting of the club directors and the
stockholders, there is no longer any
doubt that Lipe is the man who will
get the job.
Lipe is now in the middle west, tax
ing a well-earned vacation at his home
in Irving, Illinois, whittier he went the
other day after a strenuous winter on
the Seaboard railroad as brakeman
During the winter Lipe made his head
qarters at Americus, the home of his
wife's parents.
Exactly twenty-five names are now
to be found on the list of players from
which the 1913 Savannah ball clut
will be selected. Twelve of these were
carried forward on the reserve rolls
from last year, namely Handiboe ant
Decker, outfielders; Workman, Lipe
Weber and Mayer, infielders; Giebe
and Fish, catchers, and Robertson
Armstrong, Scheneberg and Lancaster
pitchers.
The new men signed since the close
of the 1912 campaign are Norris
Styles, Stainecht, Edison and Wilken
ing, pitchers; H. Thomas and R
Thomas catchers and outfelders
}.0e and Kiefaber, second baseman
and Herr, an outfelder. To these i
is most likely that half dozen name

SANITATION IN THE ARMY.

It's an i'll wind that watts no fragrant odors. The
breezes from the big military camps in Texas, where
10000 soldiers have been concentrated Galveston
and Texas City, bring suggestion of typhoid, ma
aria, yellow fever, and the enteric disorders that
were fatal during the civil and in the Spanish
war concentrations. The army has learned the les
son of sanitation in the field.
The horrors of the camps in Chickamauga and
Florida compelled this nation to hang its head in hu-
imitation The excuselessness of such disasters was
me more emphasized when the Japanese took the
Manchurian field few years later and gave not
only u.s. but the whole world lesson in sanitary ef
hclency. Since that time the lesson has been drilled
into American army officers as thoroughly as the
manual OF arms has been taught to the men of the
ranks. Today it is recognized that camp CON-
mander who permits yellow fever or typhoid is SIM
Ply incompetent. Better 60 into battle with empty
cartridge belts than into camp without the material
with which to suppress the fly and the mosquito.
The thing that be and is done so perfectly for
the army, ought to be done also for the rural dis
tricts of the whole country Typhoid is indigenous
to the country, and miserable sanitation is its cause
Recently St. Louis had typhoid outbreak which
was followed by investigation 1t developed that the
cases had practically all come in from the country

hacted the germs.
The army is worth every dollar it costs entirely
