there was sufficient realizing orders and hedge selling to check the demand
 Reports from the dry goods market indicate that much of the distressed goods which have been hanging over that market have been taken care of in one way or another. In other words. cloth, like cotton, is rapidly approaching a position where most of the weak hold ings have been disposed of. This natural ly brings a better feeling and removes pressure It also brings a desire to en- ter the market. People are apt to over look the fact that if, as is probable we are entering the period of stabilization. it will be some little time before per- manent advance will take place, and in the meanwhile prices may easily react to near previous lows.-Hubbard Bros.

UIPMENT HERE
FOR PLAYGROUND
Swings, Chutes and 9th
er Devices Being Placed
By The City

A force of workmen are at work
today placing equipment on the play
ground property, and getting the
grounds there ready for the boys and
girls of Americus-and the grown-ups
too-to enjoy themselves during the
long, hot summer afternoons that are
now here. This work is being done by
the city hands under direction of City
Engineer w. D. Tiedeman, and will
be finished tomorrow or next day.
Already part of the equipment is
in place, and Miss Roberta Winans,
who is here for three weeks to assist
in the organization of the playground
work, asks that all boys 10 years of
age and older meet with her at the
community house Thursday afternoon
at 4:30 o'clock. At that time Miss
Winans plans to organize these boys
into teams for recreation work, and
to explain to them the uses of the
various equipment, and how to get
the most enjoyment out of their use.
There will be no charge of any kind,
and money will not be mentioned,
and all parents having boys of the
ages mentioned are urged to have
them present.
The equipment, which has already
been purchased and is now on the
property includes two tennis courts,
one basketball court, one giant swing,
two "chutes" into sand piles for the
younger folks, and a number of COM
Portable swings, which are being plac-
ed today. Later it is planned to have
swimming and wading pools at the
playground, and these will be finish
ed, it was stated, in time for use
this summer.

REPORTS FIRST
COTTON BLOOM
r. A. Yeager, of 18th
District, Sends In
Blossom

The first cotton bloom of the sea-
son for Sumter county was sent to
The Times-Recorder yesterday by R.
A. Yeager, of the 18th district-at
least it is the first that has been
called to the attention of this Office.
The first bloom in Dougherty county
has just been reported from Albany.
The cotton in this section of Geor-
gia has shown wonderful improve
ment and development during the
last three weeks. The hot days and
NIGHTS, together with dry weather,
have provided the ideal combination
for pushing forward the crop, which,
because of late planting and cool
weather until late in TIE spring, had
received a bad start. The crop is
clean and well cultivated and MAX
ing rapid progress.
The weather of the last two weeks
also has been ideal for battling the
boil weevil, the weevil requiring
shade and damnness to flourish to its
fullest extent.

Wood Labels Butler
Both Liar and Fakir

CHICAGO, June 16.-Major Gem

vicious and malicious falsehood," a
declaration by Nicholas Murray But
Ter, that motley group of stock
gamblers" oil and mining promoters,
munitions makers and other like per-
sons," backed the generals compaign
for the Republican presidential nomi-

The statement follows:
81 have just read the statement
issued in New York by Nicholas
Murray Butler to the effect that a
motley group of stock gamblers and
others tried to buy the presidential
nomination for me, and that the
forces who were defeated in their
insolent attempt to bpv the nomina-
tion represent all that is worst in
American business and political life.
''The statement is vicious and
malicious falsehood. / would ignore
it if it were directed at me alone.
but | can not remain silent when my
loyal friends and supporters are vii
lifted.
Colonel William Proctor, who was
chairman of my campaign commit.
tee, is man of extraordinary high
character, known throughout the
length and breadth of the land for
his absolute integrity and honesty
His associates were men of like
character, most of whom responded
to their country's call during the war
They typify a group of progressive
Americans. The attack upon them is
infamous.
"The forces which brought me be.
fore the convention with prepon-
derant force were hundreds Of thou
sands of patriotic men and women in
every walk of life, who have indorsed
me at nationwide state conventions
nationwide state primaries and in g
nationwide poll of unprecedented
size.
"This action of Nicholas Murray
Butler is an attempt to ingratiate
himself with certain elements which
exercised a determining influence
at the convention and possibly to
explain his own political weakness
1t is a self-seeking cowardly at
tack, made under the cloak of ar
alleged public service, which was
never intended or rendered.
81 regret to make statement Of
this kind, but it is necessary II
this instance to brand fakir anC
