FEARFUL TUMBLE IN FUTURES.
Contract Cotton Lost Heavily on
Yesterday-
The cotton market continued yester
day its seemingly endless hunt for the
bottom, if there is such a thing as the
bottom to it.
Instead of improving a bit, as those
who don’t know a thing about the mar
ket predicted, it again spread its
wings and sailed merrily down the
flame towards chaos.
Then everybody declared that was
just what they really expected.
But ten to one their money was bet
the other way, if they had any left from
the recent landside. It is generally on
the wrong side.
After the phenomenal break of 118
points, from 10.18 to 9 00, it was hoped
yesterday that the old “king” would
sober up a bit and climb back upon his
high pedastal.
Vain hope; iu fact, no hope.
Instead of doing better the contract
I market once more hit the greased track
and started towards the mudsills of ob
livion faster than a candidate can make
promises.
January showed the black record of
twenty-six points lost in a day.
From 9.04, the closing figures of the
day before, it tumbled yesterday to
8.78, the lowest point reached in more
than two months.
This disheartened the local trade and
the market was featureless the balance
of the day. Some cotton sold around
8$ cents, the best price now offered.
The big break yesterday was attrib
uted to the “estimate” of a Texas
paper, placing the crop of that state at
3,100,000 bales.
APPEALED TO HIGHEST COURT.
Case of Railroad Commission Vs. Ex
press Company.
Atlanta, Oct. 24.—Attorney General
’ Terrell received a telegram this morn
ing from the clerk of the United Statrs
Supreme court, stating that the court
had sanctioned the appeal for certiorari
in the case of the Georgia Railroad
Commission, vs. the Southern Express
Company This means that the court
will hear argument in the case and also
that there is a sufficient ground for ap
peal. The case will be taken up some
time next week, and Attorney General
Terrell will again appear before the
court to argue the points made in the
United States court and in Circuit
Court of Appeals. The case involves
the right of the Southern Express
Company to make the sender of an ex
press package pay for the revenue
, stamp which is placed upon the re
ceipts issued by the company. The
case is an important one, and the final
decision means much for the express
company.
A Lite and Death Fight.
Mr. W. A, Hines of Manchester, la.,
writing of his almost miraculous escape
from death, says: “Exposure after
measles induced serious lung trouble,
which ended in Consumption. I had
frequent hemorrhages and coughed nignt
and day. All my doctors said I must
soon die. Then I began to use Dr. King’s
New Discovery for Consumption, which
completely cured me. I would not be
without it even if it cost $5.00 a bottle.
Hundreds have used it on my recom
mendation and all say it never falls to
cure throat, chest and lung Troubles.”

in Americus yesterday morning with
■ delegates in attendance from this and
other states who come to work for the

colored race.
This is the third annual convention
of this representative body.
The opening address was delivered
at Friendship Baptist church, on Cot
ton Avenue, by the president, Dr. E
R. Carter, of Atlanta, and was strong
and appropriate.
He told of the plans of this body and
the hearty co-operation of various
church bodies, both white and colored,
who are lending their aid in the better
ment of the condition of the negro.
Several hundred prominent negroes
heard this timely address.
Others followed President Carter in
the delivery of b:ief addresses.
Among the delegates here are Dr.
E. P. Johnson, general superinten
'dent of mission work; Dr. C. C. Smith,
theological instructor Baptist College
Atlanta; Rev. G. H. Dwells, president

great energy. Only 25c at E J El

Gold dust has rendered many a man
blind to his duty.
It Happened in a Drug Store
“One day last winter a lady came to
my a rug store and asked for a brand of
cough medicine that I did not have in
stock,” says Mr. O. R. Grandin, the
popular druggist of Ontario. N. Y.
“She was disappointed and wanted to
know what cough preparation I could
recommend. I said to her lhat I could
freely recommend Chamberlain’s Cough
Remedy and that she could take a bottle
of the remedy and after giving it a fair
tiialifshe did not find it worth the
money to bring back the bottle and I
would refund the price paid. In the
course of a day or two the lady came
back in company with a friend in need
of a cough medicine and advised her to
buy a bottle of Chamberlain’s Cough
Remedy. I consider that a very good
recommendation for the remedy.” It
is for sale by Dodson’s Pharmacy and
J. R. Hudson’s Drugstore.

Insures Her Own Buildings.
Columbia, 8. C., Oct. 24.—Under an
act of the last legislature South Carolina
1 has become her own underwriter. All
the public buildings, including the four
colleges at Clemson, Rock Hill, Oolum
. bla and Charleston, will be insured by
the state. An assessment will bo paid
by these institutions and by the state
for the statehouse until the amount so
paid in reaches $200,000. In the mean
time if there is a fire the loss will fall
directly upon the taxpayers.

earnest solicitation of my persona!
friends, and many acquaintances rep
resenting the various commercial and
industrial interests of our city, I have
determined to become a candidate for
the Mayoralty of Americus, subject to
the action of the Democratic primary,

My former record as Mayor of the

as a citizen, I trust will obviate the
necessity of a personal canvass, which
business engagements would scarcely
permit at this time; so that I take this
method of announcing my candidacy,
and earnestly ask the consideration
and support of the people.
If elected, I pledge a conservative,
economical and business-like admin
istration, devoted to every best inter
est of the entire city and its people.
