COTTON ADVANCING
Steady Upward Tendency Until Tester/
day. Off Nine Points.
ROME PAYING HIGHEST MARKET PRI E
Selling Her. For 6% to 6X When Otbsr
Places Pay Only Six Cent. For the
Very Best Grades.
Cotton is at it again.
Os all tricky things the white staple
has proven most elusive this season.
The promise of an over abundant crop
was effectually routed by the drouth
which has prevailed over the entire cot
ton belt for weeks. The top crop was ut -
terly ruined.
But in spite of reverse reports prices
opened low, and the movement of cot
ton in this section has been slow and
sluggish up to the present week.
The past four days, up to yesterday
saw the markets advance 20 to 25 points.
Yesterday it went off nine points. But
the general tone is better and the out
look fora steady toningin prices is good.
Conservative meu believe that the ad -
vance will be sure and certain from now
on. This, however, is merely a supposi
tion based on present conditions. The fu
ture is uncertain especially the future of
cotton. •
But it is a fact that investigation will
prove beyond peradventure that Rome
pays the very highest price for cotton.
While Macon buyers were buying the
best grades for six cents, ordinary mid
dlings were selling in Rome for 6|. and
the fiuer staple brought Ci.
This is also true of almost every other
point of importance —Rome pays the best
prices.
The influx by wagon the past few
days has been very lively here. From
early in the morning until late in the
afternoon strings of wagon extending
a block await there turn at the ware
houses, |
The merchants are feeling the
quickened pulse of trade, and the
stores are busy places these days.
A prominent cotton man of Macon
is quoted as follows in the Telegraph.
“The advnee has been going on for
the past few days,and the best grades
are selling at 6 cents today, against 5J
cents a few days ago. I can’t tell how
the market will be in future, but the
indications are favarable. There is a
strong demand for all the staple that
is marketed, and this, of course, is a
good sign. The factories are using
all they can buy, and there is no let
ting up in their orders.
“Although there is not much sur
plus left for the farmer when be sells
his cotton at 6 cents, that price ena
bles him to pay his debts; at least,
they are paying up this season, and
every little rise is a great help to
them.
“I don’t believe half of the crop has
yet been marketed. Every mao who
is in position to hold back is waiting
for better prices, and some of our cus
tomers who bring us about 150 bales
of cotton a season have brought in
only ten or twelve so far. But we feel
very much encouraged by today’s
market.”

PRISONERS ESCAPE
"Buster” Doosan the Alabana Murderer
Breaks Jail at Gadsden,
TWO OTHER PRISONERS GET AWAY
Buipect.d That They Received Help From
the Ontflde—Escaped on Last
Wednesday Night.
Mr. S. P. Davis returned from Gads,
den yesterday and gave to The Trib
une reporter the story of a big jail es
cape at Gadsden Wednesday night.
“Buster” Doogan, a murderer and
one of the most notorious criminals
in Alabama, made his escape.
Two United States prisoners also
managed to get away. All three were
white men.
There seems to be but little doubt
that the men received assistance from
the outside as the doors are of the
time-lock make, much like those used
by banks.
Doogan’s trial was set for October
21. Several months ago he killed a
man named McDermatt on Sand
mountain, for which he was arrested
and placed in jail at Gadsden.
It was reported once before that
Doogan had escaped, but it was a
mistake. '
The men got away sometime during
the night and their escape was not
discovered until Thursday morning.
Officers at once began a search, but
of last accounts had been unsuccess
ful in their efforts.
BRILLIANT OPENING.
The Highest Creations of the Mtlliners Art at
Mrs. M. bpiegelbergs.

on the taste and deftness of Miss Hop
kins, the trimmer.
There were hats brilliant with
plumes and ribbons and rare birds.
The display at this establishment
this season has been pronounced by
many ladies as being one of the most
attractive Mrs. Spiegleberg has ever
held.
The opening will continue todey
and every lady in Rome is- most cor
.dially invited to attend.
