4 SOME OPINIONS ABOUT COTTON Factors Differ as to the Prob abrlftv of a Rise in the Market. | FARMERS PM W WELL At the Banks and ‘Generally Where They Owe Any Money Smaller Crop for Next Year, Cotton baa begun to pick up somewhat since the recent sterna wrought so much d» vostaUon to it. Th« receipts ui the warehouses In the city for tbs past week have been very good. Tin quality of the cotton has also improv ed but the price still hangs on behind and does not seem to vary much. The farmers have been very prompt in paying their amounts eo far as they were able an-1 aH of them say that the ware house m«c have been very kind to th< m in extending their notes. The opinion of the warehousemen seems to differ in re gard to the price. Some are of the opinion that the price will go up while others think that it w.JI remain m it la. Many farmers who were in the city last week said that they would never plant tui targe a cotton crop an they did this year, as it was too great an expense and that they could make a mnall acreage in cot ton pay better than a large crop. Mr Moore, of the firm of Heard & Moore, speaking of the outlook of the cot ton market this morning said: "There is no probablity of a rise in the price, nor is there any kign of tt. The re ceipts, however, are much better than we expected since the etorrn did so much damage to the crops. All of the farmers blue about tho price and the crop. They have been very prompt in paying up though and In many oases we have .ex tended the time on their notes for them. 'A majority show a willingness <to pay up •nd 1 think we will have no trouble in collecting all that is due us." Mr. W. A. Davis seeniid to have a dif ferent idea altogether from Mr Moore, and ha U of the opinion that the price will Ko up ta an early date. In speaking of the matter ho eaid: "I would not be surprised to sec a rise in tho price at an early date. I am sure that it will not go lower. It 'is now at tracting the attention of the investment buy era and that will create a favorable sentiment for it. For two years the pes simistic spirit that has predominated on Wall street is gradually wearing off and the Investment buyers are taking an inter est in tho matter. 1 do not think that the crop will come up to Neal's estimate and think that it will fall short of it a great, dml. The receipts are not as heavy, as they were before tho storm and the qual ity of the cotton is not so good. Every thing was set back at least ten days and unuoh of the cotton which was open wan totally destroyed instead of being Injured. Tho quality la much better than I expect ed to see tt, and I find no trouble in sell ing ootton of any kind. I think now 'that tho price 'Win go up tn a tew days." Tho collections at the banks this year ba?.' h<• tin us tally rood an 1 with the m-edat! they heve been fair The mer chan’a a e till uteisy ilbut getting their money from the f.inni r.i, but still they iM'em to understand the circumstances which th farmers have been placed in and them Io not see disposed to rush them at all. Om farmer said this morning that all 'hie crop needed was a few days of sun shi'it' and t'h.v it would all open. The general iriprenxie i is that the crop will ph.i out better than it first thought and that 'll of the formers will be able to pay UP their debts. TAKES NOTHING FREE. Department V. ill Pa> Fair Price for Every thing. It is ihe general idea that the city and property owners at Oemulgee park will hive to bear tho brunt of expense attach ing to the preparation of the army of men due to reach Macon somewhere about the first week in November This ta a inlet ike, however, as Congrens ■ an Bartlett had a talk with the attorney moral in Washington and was informed vat t was in no way the idea of the de 'artment to make any private individuals or corporations or municipalities bear the expense of the preparation or entertaining of troope. Tho government will pay a reasonable price for everything, said Mr. Bartlett, and there need be no uneasiness on this point. The country Is well able to pay for these things and there la no idea of taking any thing in charity. Thia will bo good news for many people w-ho have thought that they would have to bear the expense and for the city. It was the general opinion that all of these expenses would have to be borne by the eity itself. As a matter of fact, the government will P>y a reasonable rental for the land on which the troops are to be encamped, where it belongs to a private corporation, as ft does at Oemulgee park. Tho order which was issued in regard to moving the troops south a few weeks ago was coun-termanded yesterday by General Graham. It seems that the government fears that If 'he troops are sent south at this time that the yellow fever is liable to break out among them. Tho order which was issued yesterday stated that no troops would be moved un til the yellow fever had been entirely stamped out The troops were to have conw to Macon on the 27th of this month, but they will net come until about two weeks later. A board of officers from the divisions that are to camp here are expected in a few days to select a sste for the camp. \s soon as the site is selected the city will begin at once to carry out the prom ises made to general Cahwxn. Water mains w ill be run to the camp ground and elec tric lights will be put up and everything will be done to make the soldiers com fortable. A side track form the Southern railroad to the camp will also be put in. so that the troops willl have no trouble in getting their supplies. It is intended by the gov ernment to establish a regular camp here and the soldiers will be kept here until they xre sent to Cuba to do garrison duty or until they are mustered out of service. The camp will be of groat benefit to the city and will greatly increase the trade, end as ooon as the troops arrive business will begin to pick up. , - Spain's Greatest Need. Mr. H. P.

Live Committee of the Sixth District. j Today and tomorrow are the last days in which to register for the congressional election. All who desire to vote for con- ■ gressman who*have not registered must do to today and tomorrow. The congntaaional election occurs on Tuesday, November 8. Mr. George A. Harrison, chairman of the I democratic executive committee, has ad- I dreesed to each member of that committee ' the following letter: Thomaston, Ga., Oct. 14, 1898. The election for congressman from this district occurs on November Bth next. While as yet there is no announced can didate in opposition to the regular Demo cratic nominee, Hon. C. L. Bartlett, I write this to urge upon you the importance df haring as full vote cast for him as though there was opposition. The Repub licans in congress have constantly made party capital out of the small vote cast for Bcuthern representatives as compared with tin large vote cast in the congressional elections North and West, and urge it as an evidence that the vote is suppressed, and docs not therefore represent the real views of the people. Mr. Bartlett has been u ; intmously re-nominated for the Fifty sixth congress; his course -has been en dorwil by the Democrats of the district in th« primary, and I think it is due to him, end due to the state, that the vote in No vember should show that the Democrats feel enough interest to go to the polls and vote. Let me beg you therefore to urge the people in your county to go to the polls oq November Bth and vote for congress man. so that he may have as a majority the eiffire Democratic vote in the district. There Is no election on that day for Any other office, and the people may overlook it, if their attention is not specially called to it. Yours very truly, Geo. A. Harrison, Chairman Ex.
