SOME OPINIONS
ABOUT COTTON
Factors Differ as to the Prob
ability of a Rise in the
Market,
FARMERS NY W WELL
At the Banks and Where
They Owe Any Money—Smaller
Crop for Next Year,
Cotton ha> begun to pick up some what
•luce the recent storm wrought, so much
d< ra«taUon to it.
The receipt® io the warehouses In the city
for the part week have been very good.
The quality of the cotton baa also improv
ed but the price etill hanga on behind
and doe® not «eem to vary much.
The fartnera have been very prompt in
paying their acounta »o t*r aa they were
able and aH of them Bay that the ware
house men have been very kind to thtm
in extending their notea. The opinion of
the warehousemen sw-ms to differ in re
gard to the price.
Some are of the opinion that the price
will go up rwhlle others think that it w.ll
remain m it is.
Many farmers who were in the city last
week »atd that they would never plant a-t
large a cotton crop as they did 'hie year,
ae it wax too great an expense and that
they could make a wtnall 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 thia morning said:
"There la no pnoba>blity of a rise in the
price, nor I* there any kign of it. The re
ceipts. however, are much 'better than wo
expected since the wtorm did so much
damage to the crepe All of the farmers
ecwn blue about the prioe and the crop.
They have been very prompt In paying up
though and in many oa»es we have .ex
tended the time on their notes for them.
'A majority show a willingness to pay up
and 1 think we will have no trouble in
rollecting all that 1® due us."
Mr. W. A. Davis seemed to have a dif
ferent idea altogether from 'Mr. Moore,
and ho U of the opinion that the iprice will
Ko up ta an early date. In speaking of the
matter ha eald:
"I iwould not be surprised to see a rise
In the price at an early date. I am sure
that it will not go lower. It 'is now at
tracting the attention of the investment
buyers and that will create a favorable
sentiment for it. For two years the pes
•Umentlc spirit that has predominated on
Wall street is gradually wearing off and
th« investment buyers are taking an inter
cut in the matter. I 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 the storm and the qual
ity of the cotton is not so good. Every
thing was set back at least ten days and
«ninh of the cotton which was open wats
totally destroyed instead of being Injured.
The quality la much better than I expect
ed to fee It, and I And no trouble in sell
ing cotton of any kind. I think now 'that
the price -win go up in a few days.”
The collections at the banks this year
bar-> bee i unusually rood and with the
rn*rda:d< they here been fair. The mer
chants a•» till ui easy ilg>ut getting their
money from the farnu ra, but still they
aeem to understand -the circumstances
which th farmers have been placed in
and them lo not see disposed to rush them
at all. - -
Om farmer said this mornlag that all
his crop needed was a few days of sun
shine and tb.v it would alt open. The
general impress!,' i is that the crop will
phn out bettor 'than at first thought and
that til of the formers will be able to pay
tip tb.olr debts.
TAKES NOTHING FREE.
Department Will Pay Fair Price for Every
thing.
It is the general ide i that the city and
property owners at Ocmulgee nark will
b.ive to bear the 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 !« a mistake, how, ver. as Congrces
-an Bartlett had a talk with the attorney
.’ ’neral In Washington and was informed
at t was in no way the idea of the de
'artmewt to make any private individuals
or corporations or municipalities bear the
expense of the preparation or entertaining
of troops.
The government will poy 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'is no idea, of taking any
thing in charity.
This will be good news for many people
who have thought that they would have
tn bear the expense and for the city. It
was the general opinion that all of these
expenses would have to be borne by the
«*!ty itself.
Ab a matter of fact, the government will
psy a reajwnable rental for 'the land on
which the troops are to be encamped,
where It belongs to a private corporation,
ae it does at Ocmulgee park.
The order which was issued in regard to
moving the troops south a few weeks ago
was countermanded 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.
The 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
come so Macon on the 27th of this month,
hut they will not coma until about two
weeks later.
i board of officers from the divisions
that are to e.imp here are expected in a
few days to select a arte for the camp.
As soon as the site is selected the city
will beg:n at once to carry out the prom
ise's made to general Cshwan. 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 vide 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 are sent to Cuba to do garrison duty
or until they are mustered out of service.
The camp will be of great benefit to the
city and will greatly increase the trade,
end as ooon as the troops arrive business
will begin to pick up.

only one way to cure deafness and that
is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an inflamed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube is inflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, auid
when it is entirely closed deafness is the
result and unless the mflamation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be de
stroyed forever: nine cases out of ten are
caused by catarrh, which is nothing but
an inflamed condition of the mucous sur

for Congress.
. DEMOCRATS
Issued Ly C airman of the Dem
ocratic Exec rive Committee of
the Sixth District.
i Today and tomorrow are the last days in
which to register for the congressional
1 election. All who desire to vote for con
| gressman who’have not registered must do
to today and tomorrow.
The congressional election occurs on
Tuesday, November 8.
Mr. George A. Harrison, chairman of the
: Democratic executive committee, has ad
j dressed to each member of that committee
I 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 having 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
Southern representatives as compared with
I the large vote cast in the congressional
elections North and West, and urge it as
an evidence that the vote is suppressed,
and does not therefore represent the real
view® of the people. Mr. Bartlett has been
u . cntmously re-nominated for the Fifty
sixth congress; his course -has been en
dor by the Democrats of the district in
th® primary, and I think it is due to him,
and due to the state, that the vote in No
vember should show that the Democrats
feed 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 eaftre 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,

Queer Stories.
Perry Home Journal: A corn crop in a
hog'® ear sounds exceedingly strange, but
We heard the other day that a corn crop
bad started to grow in the ear of ahog
belonging to Mr. C. W. Houser, near
Kathleen. The hog is -dead, and so is the
corn crop. A grain of corn had become
lodged In the hog’s ear, and it sprouted
and began to grow.
Washington Chronicle: A party of ne
groes a few miles west of town were “Bit
ting up” with the supposed corpse of an
old darkey a few nights since, when he
•ouddenly turned over, threw off the sheet
•and sat up in bed. The mourners thought
he had returned from the dead and in
about two seconds he was sthe sole occu
pant of the room. The ex-corpse is said
•tp be recovering.
Columbus Enquirer-Sun:' B. H. Wat
son, supervisor of the southwestern divi
sion of the Central railwoy, has in his
(possession quite a curiosity in the shape of
thirty-'four rattles and a button taken from
a rattlesnake killed near Cowart’s station,
on the Columbus extension, a few days
ago. Each ratle is said to represent a
year in formation, and this would, there
fore make the age of the snake thirty
four years. The rattles measure seven
inches in length.

growth on the streets of this city several

grown hog that had no middling, the
shoulder blades and the hips jointed, and
the animal couM Walk and eat and grunt

was a goat with eighteen horns. It had
horns in the proper place, and in addition
had a number of short horns on its legs,
growing out half way down the limb.
Eighteen was the total -number of horns.
