BUSINESS FEELS
ALREADY BOOM IN
PRICE OF FLEECY
ADVANCED FORTY.ONE POINTS
Advance Yesterday a Pleas
ing Surprise

Americus merchants to whom the
cotton market is 'the true barometer
of trade conditions -rejoiced yester-
day in the reaction which followed
the marked decline of the past week,
Already the price had broken below
thirteen cents, and the faces of farm
ers and merchants alike could have
been measured accurately with ali
overgrown yardstick
But the turning point was reached
yesterday and from IL ga cents, the
prevailing price. this week, values
went up by leaps and bounds until a
net gain of forty-one points for the
day had been scored.
This was an advance of nearly a
half cent in the contract market, and
there may be other big doings in the
same line today,
Experts of the national department
of agriculture issued statement yes
terday to the effect that the present
cotton crop was the poorest In years
This report, no doubt, had some eff
feet upon the market, coming as it did
from an official source This state
ment may be true as regards the cot
ton crop as a whole, but in many To-
calities this crop is quite as good as
that of last year.
This is the condition, at least ir.
Sumter county and southwest Geor-
gia generally, where no fault is to be
found with prevailing crop conditions,
Certainly is this true in the Americus
territory.
Already 10000 bales, practically,
have been marketed in Americus to
this date and, for the most part, sold
ar prices averaging thirteen cents.
This is very near two-thirds of nor
NAL crop for Sumter county, which
last year produced 34,400 bales. A
comparison of receipts and prices at
Americus for four years is not unin-
teresting, and is culIed from The
Times Recorders files.
Oct 16, 1910.-Warehouse receipts.
14,410 bales; good middling worth
IA 3-8 cents.
Oct. 16, 1911.-Warehouse receipts
29,112 bales; good middling worth
8 ga cents.
Oct. IS, 12-Warehouse receipts
5000 bales; good middling worth
10 IL cents.
Oct. 16, 1913-Warehouse receipts
10000 bales; good middling worth
13 1-8 cents.
Compared with last seasons re-
ceipts and prices, receipts this year
are about 1000 bales greater, while
the price is 5-S cents higher at this
date, and has been nearly cent
higher still until the recent slump n
values put down the price. From this
comparative statement it can easily
be seen that market and business con-
ditions this fall are far better than
last fall.
That Amerieus' cotton receipts for
the entire current season will go we'll
above $4,000 bales is very generally
conceded here, and with continued
good prices a period of unexamplnI
prosperity will prevail.

ONE HUNDRED GOING
TO BULL MOOSE DINNER

Members of the Dollar Dinner COM
mittee of the Progressive party have
received more than 100 applications
for seats at the dinner table next
Tuesday night, when the Bull Moosers
will celebrate the founding of the
party a year ago. A. L. G. Atkin-
son of the committee said this morn
ing that few. more seats will be
crowded into the dfning-haIl on the
Young hotel roof garden, as they do
rot want to turn away any who desire
to come to the dinner. :
Dress suits, while not absolutely
forbidden, will be, frowned upon"
said Atkinson this morning. This
dinner is to be an Informal and
friendly gathering, and the open-fac-
ed suit, with its connotation of for.
mality, does not lend itself to the
general scheme of a party of the peo-
pie, by the people and for the people.

rights, not the advertising of sartor-
ial effects. Those who have no other
suit but dress suit, may, of course,

OF
TODAY PERFORM
MIRACLE

In lecture recently delivered by
DIR. A, l.. Soresi of Fordham Uniyer-
sity, New York. the remarkable pre-
of fresh blood into the left part of
the human heart life could be re-
newed even after the heart had
ceased to beat. The experiment has
never been tried, so far as known, but
in this day, when surgical miracles
are no longer source of wonder, any
thing seems possible.
Some of the recent achievements
seem absolutely impossible and offer
evidence of the remarkable strides
that have been made in surgery dur
ing recent years.
To pass with bare mention the at.
tempt now being made at Harvard
medical school to find actual groov-
ings of thought on the brain sub
stance, there is no doubt whatsoever
concerning the incursion of modern
surgery upon new territory which
notions of life and death.
1t is a daring presumption to i'm
agine that life may be restored after
death, but there have been strange
cases under recent surveillance which
warrant tie prediction that such a
thing may yet be possible.
There have been instances where
men who have apparently closed their
eyes forever have been .resuscitated.
New devices for renewing the heart
action under certain circumstances
have proven successful.
That all must die some day no one
can doubt That death is the end of
all things must also be admitted, but
that the ends of the dark angel may
be frustrated and that, life may be
prolonged by the aid of surgery is not
altogether impossible.
The early records of surgery are
not so eYentful, but the achievements
of recent years are miraculous.
Recently at the Fordham hospital

placed upon the operating table. The

Almost every day in the year we
read of some wonderful operation
which almost banishes the thought
that anything is impossible with our
surgical wizards of today. The cour-
age and confidence of our surgeons
seem to be without bounds. The idea
that a human heart could be removed
from the body in order that a wound
could be dressed was never dreamed
of twenty years ago. Such operations
are not uncommon today. If the most
vital organ of The human system can
be thus treated the prediction of DIR.

THEORY
HELD LONG Ago
BY INDIANS

Perhaps the discovery that the
mosquito is responsible for malaria is
not so new as the modern medicine
man thinks. In "The Mosquito Giant
tGe-ne-dah-saio-kee)," published in
the Red Man for June, there is re
yealed an Indian legend that sounds
as if the native Americans had long
ago made their own discovery as to
where to place responsibility for ma
laria.
"A huge, filmy creature, runs the
legend, as told by "Domitilla, of
strange proportions and fierce air ap-
peared suddenly before the fort of
the Onondagas. 1t had small head,
with large popping eyes on each side,

and by starvation, for all the provi-

left in the. fort and these few lived
in fear of being momentarily wiped
out of existence by this horror that
continued to hover about, humming
its song of victory.
