GINNING REPORT
YESTERDAY WAS
RATHER BULLISH
FIGURES ABOUT AS EXPECTED
Market Declined But Shortly
Recovered

The Americus cotton trade awaited
with interest yesterday the publication
of the government report on ginning,
as it was rather expected that the fig
ures might have an important bearing
upon spot cotton values. Such, how
ever, was not the case and no material
changes in spot values were noticea-
bic, The report indicated 13,5S9,O09
bales of cotton ginned to January 18th.
This estimate was about as expected,
and while the futures market eased
Oft few points following the bureau
report the loss was regained later. In
the Americas market thirteen cents
continues the top level price for the
finer grades, though it requires a fan
cy article to bring this figure

AFTERNOON PAPER IN
HANDS OF RECEIVER

Pensacola, Fla, Jan. 23.--N. ]. Lii
lard, secretary of the Interstate Fair
association, was yesterday afternoon
appointed receiver for the Evening
News, which was declared bankrupt
last night. Judge Sheppard returned
last night and went into the affairs -
the bankrupt newspaper at once, nam
ing Mr.. Lillard as receiver. Bond in
the sum of $4,000 was fixed. Mr.. Lii
lard takes charge at once and the
direction Of the concern will hereafter
be in his charge. 1t is not known
what disposition will be made of the
property.
Some three months ago, c. B. Han
son, formerly publisher of the Mobile
Item, came to Pensacola and announc-
ed the purchase of the Pensacola EV-
ening News. Mr.. Hanson appeared as
sole owner of the paper, but later went
to Jacksonville, where he and his
brother, Albert Hanson, launched the
Jacksonville News. Mr.. Hanson left
Bne H. Thomas in charge of the News,
as general manager, and the venture
is said to have been losing money from
the start.

MC'CRORY WAGING
UNEQUAL fight
GEORGIA BOOKS
COMMISSION IS AGAINST HIN
In Effort to Have State Pub
IiSh Books

Interest in Americas, as elsewhere
in the state, attaches to the efforts put
forth by Representative Charles r.
McCrory of Schley county in his bill
before the Georgia Assembly to have
the state of Georgia publish the books
used in the public schools of the state.
The matter has been referred to a com
mission for investigation and report to
the next session of the Legislature, and
Mr.. McCrory and the other commits
sioners have been in meeting in Atlanta
this week
Testimony so far brought out
through such sources as William E.
Pulsifer, the Boston publisher, the his
tory of CALIFORNIA; experience at
school book publication, with man
other surrounding circumstances, make
it almost certain that the overwhelm-
ing sentiment of the commission, as
now composed, will be in opposition ID
the state going into the publishing bus
mess.
Representative McCrory, author Of
the resolution and one of the most
persistent advocates of the state en-
gaging in the undertaking of publish
ing it own school books, is certain u
remain firm in his original position in
this matter. He is not convinced that
the state will not make very material |
saving in so doing, and all the testi-
mony in opposition so far developed
has not changed him hairs breadth
in that opinion.
Two reports are practically certain.
The majority report will undoubtedly
oppose the plan for the state to print
great change in the views of the mem
bers. Mr.. McCrory will favor it, so is
sure to file minority report. There
fore the fight finally will get on the
floor of the house. One thing will re-
suit from this investigatiOn-the gen
eral assembly will have a mass of data
and facts ON the school book business
on which to base any possible action.
The commission will hold its next
meeting on April g. In the meanwhile
the commission will make investiba-
tons as to the cost of a printing plant,
prices for copyrights on school book
texts, bought outright or leased, and
how much it will cost to manufactu 'e
school books if the state supplies the
text.
Mr.. McCrory is giving a great deal
of time and attention to this subject,
and he has secured a mass Of data
bearing on the subject. He is undoubt-
eddy sincere in his belief that the
state could make very material saw
ing by publishing many of its school
books.

crumble. Baeball knows no royal road
to glory. A hard taskmaster, indeed is
the national pastime. The sport de-

dozen things that show a Cobb, a

Scamper back into history for five
years and learn how feeting is fame
and forgetful does time hold the fans.
Five years ago the Maps were in the
thick of the hottest fighting that the
American league has ever known.
Down through the stretch came De-
troit, Cleveland and Chicago. Neck
and neck they raced with the Tigers
by one squirt creeping out into the
front winner.

Three years ago the gaunt giant, then
in the flush of splendid health and
with a virility that only an outdoo"
life could give, made a statement, I've
been five years in the big show now,
and I'll stay just five years more. Then
i; is back to the farm for me-"
Today that giant is back on the
farm, but it is an invalid. For it was
Jack Coombs, the iron man OF the Ath-
letics, who made the statement The
season previous had seen this Maine
behemoth help the Mackmen to win
the American Leagues race, and he
had practically hurled his fellows into
the worlds championship single-hand-
ed against the Cubs.
But it is not with the invalid
Coombs that his tale wants to deal 1t
is with the philosophy and the truth of
his statement that ten years is the av-
erage tenure of the big league ball
player.
Ten Years Is Average.
Some, of course, survive the tasks of
the taskmaster for epochal years, like
Lajoie, Wagner and old Cy Young.
Others blossom fully and flower for d
dozen years more and then curl up
and wither at once But ten years

Lat. Gibson has authorized The Ad-
vertiser to announce him as candidate
for the position of marshal of the city
of Lexington, subject to the municipal
primary to be held on May /. 1914.
His eminent fitness for this position
will be readily conceded by all. He is
man with the equanimity Of temper,
the calmness of judgment, and the in
trepidity so highly desirable in police
officer. He will discharghe bis duties
with all due courtesy but with unwav-
ering firmness, unswayed by either
threats or cajolery. The duties of the
marshal's office, as at present consti-
tated are manifold and arduous, the
incumbent being required to act as po-
lice e-officer, road commissioned and tax
collector. With every detail Of the
different branches of the Office sought,
Mr.. Gibson is thoroughly familiar and
amply able to satisfactorily and most
efficiently discharge all duties thereto
, appertaining. Should he prove sue
cessful, the marshal's office will be
most creditably filled.
