CITY OF MACON
IS TOTAL LOSS
So Correspondent Deming,
Who Has Seen Wreck,
.Said Today.
LITTLE Os CARGO SAVED.
She Went Down in Bad Part of the
River and Wreckers Do Not
Hope to Get Her Up,
Mr C. W. Deming, the well known
newspap' r man of Brunswick, was in the
city last night and he says that the steam
er City of Macon is a total loss and that
then 1* not a dollar's worth of the boat
left.
Mr Deming came up from Brunswick
last night and is just from the scene of
the wreck He says that he went to the
wreck (with Mr. George Smith, of this city,
and that they found the boat turned upside
down. In speaking of the matter he said.
‘'The captain of the boat, did not give
the correct s'a:<- of affairs when he wrote
to Maeon. Mr. Smith and myself went to
the scene of the wreck Saturday morning
and we found that the boat was turned
bottom side up and that the Ixiilers were
gone. Mr Smith, a« well as myself, was
surprised at the condition of the boat as
we both had heard that it could foe easily
raised. None of the cargo iwas saved ex
cept 121* boxes of soap which was picked
up by the steamer Bessie. That was car
ried to the Mallory line dock and in four
hour* after the warehouse was ten feet
deep it- water and the cargo was ruined.
“1 do not think that, there is a dollar's
worth of the boat* left and it is impossible
to raise it. The people in Brunswick think
that the loss of the boat is due entirely to
the incompetency of the captain. It is said
that the boat iwas overloaded and tiesides
the captain did not know how to handle
her. The place in .which the wreck oc
curred is one of the most dangerous places
around Brunswick as the current there is
very strong. The boat, in my estimation,
Is a total loss; as the storm has ruined
what was left of her. Mr. .Smith and Cap
tain Tupper spirted out with wrecking ap-.
paratus Sunday morning to see what could
be done, but (before I hey started the storm
came up and they could not go. The place
where the City of Brunswick was wrecked
was covered with water which was thir
teen feet higher than was ever known be
fore.”
Th, news will be regretted by the mer
chants a.id especially to the stockholders
of the boat. It was thought at the time
the news was received that the boat could
be easily raised as that is what the eap-
• taih wrote, but it deems that he did not
give the correct state of affairs. The boat
was insured but the amount of insurance
will not cover the loss of the cargo.
The boat had Just begun to pick up
freight along the river and had begun to
pay expenses when the wreck came. It is
not thought that the wreck will be a seri
ous set back to the new boat which enough
money had been subscribed to build. It
is not known what the stockholders will
do as they have not yet held a meeting.
If the reports from (Brunswick are true
about the boat it must have been over
loaded as was thought here at the time of
the accident.

COTTON HURT
IN THIS SECTION

The Crop, It is Thought, Has
Suffered to Fully a Third
if Not More.
WITH FACTORS AND FARMERS
They Say that the Damage is Very
Considerable to the Staple—No
Prospect of Rise in Price.
The recent storm has had a bad effect
on the cotton crop. The cotton around
Macon has been badly damaged and it will
prove a serious loss to the farmers.
Much of the open cotton was blown out
of the bolls and carried away. That it
will be impossible for the farmers to re
cover it. It is customary with the farmers
lo pick the cotton which has fallen to the
ground, but that which fell Sunday and
, Sunday night was blown away.
Mr. Heard, of the firm of Heard & Moore,
one of the most prominent cotton firms in
the city, says that the crop is badly dam
aged and will prove to be a severe loss to
the farmers.
The cotton which was open and not
blown away was damaged greatly by the
rain which fell on it, and of course this
will tend to cause it to bring low prices.
The quality of the cotton iwhich has been
coming in for the past few days has been
very good but the recent damage to it will
cause it to become rotten.
Mr. Moore in speaking of the matter
said: “The farmers say that the cotton is
badly damaged by the storm. The various
estimate it to open cotton and say that the
loss is from 15 to 33 per cent. Much of the
open cotton was blown out of the bolls
and some of it was carried entirely away.
The cotton which will be gathered during
1 the next week will be of a very inferior
grade. The quality of the cotton had im
proved very materially up to this time but
the storm has given it a great set back.”
"The report from all the surrounding
country is to the effect that the crop is
badly damaged and this of course will tend
to shorten the crop.”
He was asked about the price and re-
I plied: " There is no indication at the pres
ent time of a rise in the price of cotton,
but I think that it is obliged to go up
ultimately.”
The collections have been very poor for
L the merchants are growing uneasy. They
recognize the fact that the low price of
cotton means a loss to them and they are
very much interested In the outcome. Mr,
W. A. Davis is also of the opinion that the
J storm damaged the cotton to some ex
( tent. He siald that he does not see any in
. dication of the price gojng up. The col-
I lections at the banks are good considering
the low price of the fleecy staple.
[ Farmers and merchants are still com
) plaining' of the low price received. Cotton
merchants think, however, that the price
( is sure to go up. There is no certainty
I about it, however, and the farmers are
disinclined to believe any reports they re
. .ceive.

The word “NEW” carries more weight with shrewd buyers of wearing apparel
than, the much abused term “Bargains.” We’re in business to sell merchandise for
just its value. That’s cheap enough for anybody. You can't reasonably expect
more than your money’s worth. “Charity shops” are not in vogue. We can give
you full me<asure for every dollar. You can pick from our assortment of NEW
CLOTHING, FURNISHINGS and 'HATS at no greater cost than for a selection from
the old and new styles and good and bad qualities always found together in a car
ried over stock. Try it and see. Make the test Monday or whenever you are ready
to buy anything in the line of CLOTHING, FURNISHINGS and HATS. You are
Bure to get the correct styles here. You’re sure to get the reliable qualities and,

The Big Shoe Store

The Terrible Fire King
He has visited his wrath upon THE BIG SHOE STORE and
taken away all the profit we expected from our immense stock of Shoes.
Everybody must yield to ravages of fire. When it swoops down upon a
stock of goods it means LOSS. Even the goods untouched by its fiery
t tongue or smoky breath depreciate in commercial estimation.
The Result Is, They Have to Go.
We have thousands of cases of Fine Shoes and ordinary Shoes, the actual
value of which is the same as before' the fire came, but we are closing them
out with the goods that were damaged at piteously low sacrifice. In all
conscience we sold them cheap enough before, but now we are almost giving
them away.
Don’t Miss Getting Some of ’Em
You find here the bargaing of your lives. You will not have such an
opportunity again in a lifetime. Don't put off coming a day, because our
stock, though immense, cannot hold out long at the prices we have fixed.
