CITY OBEYINC
CLOSING ORDER:
FEW GRUMBLE

The majority of the citizens o.
Americus seemed today to be taking
the council and health boards clos
ing order philosophically and were
complying -heartedly Here and
there were a few who murmured, but
a number of people took the trouble
to call up the health authorities to
offer congratulations that the order
had been issued.
Among those who objected to the
closing order were the school author
tiles. School officials took the posi-
ton that the conditions in the schools
are sanitary and that, because Of the
care taken, the contagion is not spread
there.
Against this argument, DR.. Bond
health commissioner, received today
from Washington an official report Of
experiments carried on at Deer Is
land by army physicians to discover
he period and method of infection in
influenza. Some forty healthy men
were taken and exposed to the disease
in every way, even to the injection of
the blood of persons suffering with
the ailment, without any of them be
coming infected The conclusion
reached was that influenza probably
was infectious only during the period
Immediately before the victim shows
symptoms of the disease, and conse-
ouently at a time when its resulting
spread cannot be guarded against.
About all we know of influenza, ,"
said DR.. Bond, "is that it is highly In
fectious, and therefore it behooves us
to take every precaution to prevent

COTTON DROPS
ANOTHER 2CENTS
UNDER BEAR RAID

Further hammering by the bear
crowd drove cotton down nearly two
cents per pound again today. The
opening on the New York exchange
was the high mark for the entire
day and the price continued to sag
steadily until the close. March open
ed in New York at 1880, one point
above Wednesdays close, and drop
ped 1913 points to 2157.
Local spots were quoted at % 1-2
cents, but there was no selling, and
the quotation, therefore, was mean
ingless.
Today's cotton ginning report, is
sued by the government, was about
what had been expected, and afforded
no ground for bear sentiment. The
census bureau report showed a total
of 11,051, 600 bales ginned prior to
January 16, including 41.000 Sea Is
land bales. This compared with TO-
761,278 bales ginned to the first of the
year. Ginnings to January 16, 1918,
totaled 1851 900 or only $4,000
bales for the period.
The National Ginners puts ginnings
to January IS at 1O,916,O0O bales. The
trade anticipated figures between H.
100000 and 100000 bales. 1t now
viii be necessary for ginnings during
the wind-up period to total 650,000
bales in order to confirm the govern
ment crop estimate of 100000.

u. S. And BRITAIN
A UNIT, RUSSIAN
SOLUTION SHOWS

PARIS, Jan. 23-By Associated
Press s)-The solution of the Russian
problem as proposed by the supreme
council Of the peace congress is con-
sidered here as the first visible man
Hesitation and realization of American
and British accord on the great issues
before the congress.
This accord was pledged in speeches
and in private expressions in England
both by President Wilson and Premier
Lloyd-George 1t is understood that
inasmuch as the supreme council has
accepted the American plan for set
tlement of the Russian situation, the
British plan may form the foundation
for tn structure which the peace con
gress may erect to form league of
nations. Yet observers point out that
this is a mere exchange of. courteay.
The plan accepted for the Russian
situation, the meeting between Ameri-
can and Allied representative and
representatives of all the various
Russian governments, is virtually the
same as the British leaders first pro-
posed, while it is unofficially said that
the British plan for the creation of
a league of nations is essentially the
stme as that the Americans nave
worked out.
With replies from various Russian
factions to its proposal for confer
ence being awaited, the supreme coun-
Gil met this morning. Meanwhile the
joint allied commission is being made
up. although no names have been an
nounced. All members of the coun-
Gil were present when the meeting
began.
A preliminary peace will be signed
early in June at the latest, according
to the best available information, says
Marcel Hutin, in Echo de Paris.

Farmers Holding Tight, and Prepared
to Hold to Limit to Gain
Their End.
STOCKS IN FACTORIES GONE;
MUST PAY PRICE OR SUSPEND
Acreage to Be Cut this Year, Accord
ing to Present Plans of
Growers.

Il have not been able to buy but
two bales of cotton in two weeks"
said prominent cotton buyer in
Americus Thursday noon, as he dis
cussed the cotton-holding situation.
Il have travelled over a radius of
100 miles, have used the long dis
tance phone, and | have written let
ters, but there's nothing doing. The
farmers don't have to sell and, believe
me, they are not selling-not bale.
Il have gone from farm to farm
seen the staple stored away, and Of
fered the spot market for it, and not
bale is offered. That cotton that has
been sold recently, and it is mighty
few bales at that, was low grade
stuff"
How much longer can the mills
hold out?" the buyer was asked by
representative of The TimesRe-
corder
We'll, from what / have seen and
from what l have heard, the stocks in
the mills are depleted-the mills are
out of cotton The other day there
was a meeting of a large number Of
cotton mill men in a certain city in
Alabama. In conversation ] asked
most OF them that same question, and
each one had the same story to tell
they had no cotton.
SPINNING LAST BALES.
'In Columbus, Ga, big cotton
spinning center, the warehouses are
full of cotton, but the mills are spin
ming on their last bales. Yes, those
warehouses are full, but there is not
bale in them that's for sale. In an
other mill center that l visited the
other day, found the mill warehouse
empty. The mills have been living
from hand to mouth, but now they
must buy or shut down. And the mills
can't buy. The farmers will not sell.
There are number of men like me, out
looking for cotton, but the farmers
tell us there's nothing doing.
There's nothing doing in the sell
ing line. Every farmer in this sec
tion-and in the South for that mat
ter-has fully made up his mind to
hold, and HE IS HOLDING, don't
you forget that"
More than 300 plows were repre-
sented in a group of farmers that
were approached by The Times-Re-
corder. Not one of those plows has
yet turned furrow.
WILL WAIT TO LIMIT.
The shortage of labor, the depress-
ed cotton market, and determination
to cut the 1919 cotton crop is the rea-
son, one of these farmers said. "Ev-
cry one of us has cotton stored away,
waiting for our price, and we win
wait until summer-or the next sum
mer-if necessary, before we SELL"
said one Of these farmers. "We know
what our cotton is worth, and we know
that sooner or later the mills must
pay the price or shut down. We can
wait. When the mill runs out If can
not wait. Once mill closes down, its
labor begins to dispense, and recruit
ing labor is an expensive job.
The mills are in a combine but so
are the farmers. I figure that l can

". c. c. S. LEASE
ON Y. NJ. c. A. IS
OK. 'D;SOLDIERS'
CLUB PLANNED
Expenditure Of About $4,000 Ap-
proved by Headquarters Change
Effective at Once.

National headquarters of the War
Camp Community Service has ratified
the plans for local clubhouse for the
soldiers at the two air service camps
nears Americus, according to Motif
cation just received by DR.. F. A. Star
ratt, the field secretary in charge Of
the movement here, and work will be-
gin at once On the renovation of the
Y. M. c. A. building which has been
leased and will be turned into city
headquarters for the soldiers.
The budget, which DR. Starratt sub
mitted to headquarters, and which has
been approved, provides for the ex-
penditure of some $4,000, a part of
this being lease money for the
building.
The lobby of the building will be
,overhauled and turned into comfort
able lounging room for the soldiers
The pool and billiard tables will be
allowed to remain. A piano and a
phonograph will be installed. There
will be plenty of chairs and sofas for
complete comfort.
The basement, where the baths are
located, will be given a thorough
renovating and put in absolutely sani-
tary condition, and will be kept ready
for use at all times. There are
shower bath facilities for the accom-
mediation of a large number of men.
A new floor will be laid in the
gymnasium, which will be used also
as an auditorium, where gatherings
of all kinds can be held, games played
and entertainments staged
The dormatory will be partially re-
served for soldiers who wish to spend
the night in the city. Those rooms
not needed for soldier use will be let
to civilians as at present.
Dr. Starratt expects to retain
Frank Payne, present manager of the
building, in a like capacity during the
lease by the W c. c. s., so that he
himself may be free to do work on the
outside among the citizens and officers
and men at the camps.
Although the renewed prohibition of
gatherings of all kind for the present
precludes immediate activity in the
way of entertainments for the soldiers,
DR.. Starratt hopes to complete his or
ganization and plans so that as soon
as the ban is lifted active work may
begin He hopes to interest the peo-
pie Of the community, especially the
women, in becoming frequent visitors
at the soldiers club, both informally
and at numerous formal occasions
which will be planned, He hopes to
put on frequent entertainments, sup
piled largely by local talent, for the
amusement of the soldiers, in which
he will ask t Incorporation of the
local public.
One of DR.. Starratt's plans in the
w. c. c. S. work is the promotion OF
community singing in Americus, but
this has yet to be worked out and a
suitable leader found.
