New York Cotton.

New York, June 27.-Generai bus mess was comparatively quite in the cotton market early today, but there was considerable trade buying of early new crop months and the un- dertone was steady. After opening 1 to 20 points higher, prices reacted sev- eral points after the call, with July selling off from 28.2O to 2S.02, or with in ? points of last nights close, while October sold points net lower at 25.21. Rallies followed however as the demand from trade sources continued. with October selling up to 25.44 and December at 25.00, or 150 to 196 points higher.
 The market turned easier following the publication of the western belt forecast and bearish private crop re- ports during the middle of the morn ing. Selling was also encouraged by the detailed weather report showing showers or rains at three points in central Texas, which has been com blaming of drouth. July sold off to PISA or 16 points net lower, while October broke to 2494, CT 31 points under last nights close. One of the private reports placed the condition at 83.6 against 78.7 last month and the other made it S4.S, compared with 79.S last month.
 No fresh feature presented itself in the early afternoon and trading was quiet, with prices ruling around 2793 for July and 25.03 for October, or about to P points net lower. The cotton market closed steady.

A PATRIOTIC DUTY.

By order Of the country, there must
be curtailment Of the use Of the fuel
supply on each of the next ten success
sive Mondays.
No general closing of certain places
Of business has been ordered-it is
simply directed that fuel shall not be
used by them, or caused by them to
be used, on these days.
Fuel, it has been officially interpret
ed, means coal, wood, electricity, gas
or kerosene The idea is to absolutely
prohibit any fires at all. The only
excepted places are public offices,
hotels and restaurants, transporta-
ton Offices, doctors and dental Of
fees, banks and trust companies, hos
pitals, and drug stores. Grocery
stores may have fires until noon.
OF course, any store may be operat-
ed without fre, If the proprietor
chooses, since there is no mandatory
rule on closing. But it would be un-
fair to the majority of places Of busi-
ness that must close OF necessity-it
will be unpatriotic, 1t will be a viola
ton of the spirit Of the times, for q
few to remain open and take an ex-
ceptional advantage.
ALI over the twenty-eight affected
states, there has been a patriotic re-
sponse to the order. Few like it..
Many deplore It. It will impose a
hardship on considerable number.
But # is the law, and It was promuI-
gated because conditions absolutely
required it. Americus, too, should ioin
in the common movement, and ur-
hesitatingly yield to the letter of the
ruling. Indeed, The Times-Reoorder
is confident that there will not be &
single exception in this city. The citi-
zens here have evinced a desire too
many times already to do what is
right, what their government asks of
them, for there to be any possibility
Of change Of attitude now.

TREATING ALL ALIKE.

Ty Cobb, the worlds greatest ball
player, has been certified to the gov
ornment as being within class A, which
makes him liable to early service Ia
the national army
The fact that Cobb has wife and
three children was not permitted to
exempt him He was found to have
enough wealth for his family to be
self-sustaining during his absence.
Cobb may be exempted by the higher
board; the truth is, he may enlist be
fore then; but, at any rate, it has been
demonstrated that position and pres
uee. money and influence. do not
count before the seleotive draft act.
There is no question Of the fact that
the operation Of the law has hit the
rich and the poor alike, so far as i'm
partially is concerned. 1t takes more
Of the rich youths. because they had
less excuse for exemption. SO It can
never be said that this was rich
mans war, supported at the sacrifice
70 the poor people. Men of every sta
tion and walk of life are in the vari-
Gus branches of the service, men with
millions serving shoulder to shoulder
with the penniless boy from the plow.
And, once in the army, they are
treated each alike, no exception being
shown by reason of birth or breeding.
To Uncle Sam the rich mans son and
the poor mans son are on an equal
footing.
There was time when it was easy
for the man with money and influence
to easily escape army duty. That was
notably true during the war of the
Sixties. Then many men, especially
IL the north, hired others to take their
places. But it has proven in almost
every community that nothing Of the
sort is feasible now, and only in
comparatively few instances have
those subject to draft made any effort
to evade it. But the finger of scorn
Is 80 pointed at them, once they be-
come known, that no man is willing to
admit his dereliction.

THE FIRST TO GO.

In the death Of Nottingham Law,
the war is brought home to the people
Of this county with peculiar emphasis,
this being the first death among the
several hundred Americus and Sumter
county young men who are enlisted in
the various branches of the service.
It is a source of regret, of course,
that an untlmely end should have been
the fate Of this young man, who had
experienced less than two months Of
service. However. his Is sacrifice, for
common good of his country, just as
though he had been slain on battle
field by the enemy. Just as willingly
as he answered his nations call would
he have braved the bullets of death.
The fact that he did not have the OPP
portunity Of serving on a field of hon.
or was no fault OF his. His was a
soldiers death, just the same,
It is to be naturally expected that
there will be other fatalities among
the representatives of this section in
the army and navy, and while no one
desires to apprehend bad news all
should be prepared for 1t, nevertheless
The passing of Nottingham Law brings
this strikingly to mind
Americus times-recorder., 1918-01-20
The Man.

We received the following telegram
from the editor of The Americus
Times-Recorder, last week, but being
sick at the time we did not send
him reply as requested:
I'm your opinion who is the most
logical candidate to oppose Senator
Hardwick? Who at present has most
strength In your county, Upshaw, Har-
ris, Cooper, Shaw, Gambler or Hard
wick? What is Hardwicks approx
mate strength in your county?"
We are not in position to give any
definite information along this line,
being that we have no shirts to tear
for any of them, but if I were going
to make guess we viii say that
the race in this county is going to
be pretty well mixed up between Up
shaw, Harris and Hardwick. There is
no disputing the fact that there are
Hardwick men and a good many of
them, to be found scattered over this
county. They are not saying much
about it but when the time comes they
are going to vote for Hardwick, you
can see in the wink of the eye every
time it Is mentioned to one of them
Then, again, among the town peple
| mostly great many from the coun-
try, also, of course, you will find a
strong element in favor Of Harris,
while there are a good many who
think that Harris has soft snap as
It Is and he better hold to what he
has, If he wants to live off of the gov
ernment. Upshaw has quite follow
ing here also, he being a great church
man and prohibition lecturer. You
can find followers for anything in this
county, and you can also find people
who will find fault with anything or
anybody. Jesus Christ himself did not
please all the people, neither could
he do 1t today
Personally We really believe that
were the election to come off now. w
Harris would carry the county.
There could be men brought out that
we have more confidence in than ary
OF the bunch, consequently we are not
having much 70 say about It yet
