noon, and only those who are register
cd will be qualified to vote for alder
men tomorrow.
The polls will be opened at Z a. m.

1918. Adding these two dates together
the total is 1926. The first two fig

SIX HUNDRED BALES
SOLD IN AMER|CUS

The sale of single lot of six hun
dced bales cotton yesterday afternoon
was of interest in Americus ware
house circles, being the first large lot
that has been sold here since the
present slump in values set in several
week ago.
The lot of 600 bales sold yesterday
afternoon was from the Clay planta-
ton in Sumter county, and was bought
by the local representative of north
Georgia cotton mill.
Of the 900 bales, only fifty bales
were new cotton of the 1915 crop, while
$50 bales was old cotton, carried over
from last year, when prices ruled low.
The price paid for the lot was on the
basis of II IL cents, good middling.
The 600 bales brought something
like $33, 1000, approximately, the old
cotton selling for four cents per pound
more than the price it would have
commanded a year ago.

ALLIES BOLSTER
Up THEIR LINES

LONDON, Nov. 9.-Two-thirds of
Serbia is controlled by Germany and
her allies, and within two weeks they
will probably be operating railroad
through Belgrade and Nish, which
will give two routes to Constantine
pie.
Communication via the Danube to
Bulgaria has already opened the other
fronts.
Definite news has been received of
Russian advances near Riga and
Dvinsk, which is the last portion of
the eastern front on which the invad-
ers have kept anything like a definite
offensive. Thus far the Germanic
plans in the Balkans have worked
smoothly.
hTe latest news from Macedonia,
uOWSFST, uulCdtSS tudl IhO AhitlotiFO
will not be entirely in the hands of
the invaders much longer.
Reports via Paris are that the en-
tente forces are making their presence
felt against the Bulgarians. 1t is re-
pcrted that the Serbians are holding
part of the Macedonian front and have
checked the Bulgarians after having
inflicted heavy losses.
If the Serbians can sustain the at
tack for a short while the French
should be able to join them south of
lyeles.
The Russians continue the policy of
sharp, unexpected attacks at various
points along the eastern front. The
latest of these consisted of three sue
cessful assaults southwest of Riga, two
southwest of Dvinsk, three west of the
Stry-South Pripet marshes, where the
Teutoniy line is broken in two places.
Except for artillery exchanges on
the western front there is nothing i'm

NAVAL EXPERTS WIN.

Secretary Daniels has broken record in the
department by recommending bigger expenditures than
the navy board called for.
The excess isn't great to be sure-a mere 100000
so in five years building program. But the fast
the expenditures contemplated run up to the huge
total of half billion dollars
It is notorious that navy boards habtually ask for
more than they exepect to get assurance that the
cabinet secretaries and naval committees of congress
will scale down their estimates with ruthless hand.
In this case either the general board be given
credit for moderation in spite of its unprecedented
gram, else Secretary Daniels have gone to
the professional jingoes.
With the air full of talk, it's hard for a citizen
without special knowledge Of the situation to make up
his mind this time to the precise requirements.
There ground for satisfaction however in the fact
that professional naval Judgment civilian authority
represented by the department have, for
once. come near agreeing on so important a matter
Secretary Daniels recommendations tally with those
Of the naval board in regard the capital ships to be
buttthe dreadnoughts battle cruisers, and de-
troyers He differs in recommending about so per cent
submarines than the board does and in doubling
he boards allowance for reserve ammunition He diff
ters further in suggesting that the government conceu
trate first submarines, instead of starting a larger
number of batteships and battle cruisers This Issue
may settle itself automatically Secretary Daniels
vor, because the shipyards all crowded that it
may be impossible to lay the keels Of dread
