WAR MAKES NEW YORK
FUR MARKET OF WORLD
Auction Corporation Will Bring to
This Country ,S15,0pO,OOO OF Lon.
N. -
don's Business. eaS +
Especial to Times-Recorder.)

NEW YORK, Oct. 1.-THE New
York Fur Auction Sales Corporation,
which was organized as a direct result
Of the European war, and the purpose
OF which is to take advantage of the
new trade conditions, has announced
that the details OF the project for hold
ing in New York City auction sales of
furs similar to those which have been
held in London for years, and the con-
tinuance of which is now impossible
because of the war.
For 70 years furs from all parts OF
the United States and Canada, have
been. sent to London for these sales,
and buyers, even from this country,
have become so accustomed to go to
the London market that any attempt to
set up a market here has been re-
garded as futile.
When the war broke out in Europe,
leading fur dealers became interested
in New York, whose production last
year was SAL 100000. The authorized
capital stock of the company is ST.
100000.
A conservative estimate of the
amount of American furs disposed of
annually in London in the last three
years is $15,O0O,O0O upon which com
missions aggregating $75O,OOe were
paid annually.

ENORMOUS CROP
COTTON ASSURED
THIS PLANTATION
PROSPECT OF 1900 BALES-OVER
500 BALES HAVE BEEN
PICKED ALREADY

Not many Sumter county plantations
will make a cotton crop of twelve hun
dred bales this year, but there are sew
eral that will and among them is the
former RayBagley farm three miles
north of Americas, and now owned by
Charleston investors. Already, it is
said, 600 bales have been ginned and
marketed ON this fine farm, and as
many more bales remain to be gath
cred, such is the magnificent crop
there this year As evidence of the
amount OF cotton picked there, it is
said that the payroll for cotton pick
ers last week alone totaled $1,015. Mr.
H. w. Reynolds is superintendent of
this fine farm, and, besides growing
great cotton crops, makes enormous
yields Of hay and corn as well.

CITIZENS HAVE
FILED PETITION
FOR INJUNC ton

Declaring that the proposed merg-
ing of the two electric lighting cor
porations in Americas will create a
monopoly which not only will result
in a large increase in service rates,
both for gas and electricity during a
period of twenty years. but will create
a permanent monopoly as we'll, GER
tain taxpayers through their attor-
neys, W. A. Dodson and R. L. Maynard
have filed in the superior court here a
petition for injunction, restraining
such consolidation.
Judge z. A. ,Littlejohn has announc-
ed November 14th as the date for the
hearing Of said petition for injunction,
etc.
The petitioners allege that it will
be to the very great detriment of con-
sumers and to the city of Americas
generally, if such contract is entered
into with the Public Utilities Co.,
wherein the city of Americas is to
operate, through a specially consti-
tuted commission, the plants of the
Americas Gas and Electric Co. and
! that of the Americas Power Co. during
G period of twenty years, at the end
of which period the city is supposed
to acquire title thereto.
Tie commission thus constituted
consists of Messrs. Frank Sheffield, c..
NJ. Council and j. E. Poole who are
to receive from the city a salary of
! $500 each for their services annually
The president of the new company will
receive an annual salary of $1,000, it
is said.
The City of Americas is to pay the
price of $225,00O for the properties,
which are taken over, at an estimated
valuation of $62,5OO fJr the plant of
the Americas Power Co., and 1852, 900
for that Of tie Americus Gas and Elec-
trio Co., making a total bond issue of
$225,000. The first named of these
plants, it, is said, cost $4S,OOO, while
the other is said to- be worth about
$4,000. The city would sell one
plant and operate the larger one.
The city council, according to the
terms of contract, gives to the Public
Utilities Co. a franchise and permits
the company to greatly increase its
present rates on gas and electricity, to
the end OF paying interest of six per
cent annually upon its new invest
ment, witch will require about $13,-
800. The sum of $11,250 will be the
annual payment on purchase price,
which with $4,000 paid to officials in
salaries, makes a total expense bill of
1000.
This, attorneys for petitioners state
is approximately the cost to taxpayers
but does not include the cost of oper-
ating the plant, and other expendi-
lures. The city is to receive all in
come from the lighting plant, with free
| lights to the city, etc, after the an
nual cost of $4,000 in fixed charges
and interest is taken out of the annual
receipts.
