4 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. » —— Spain’s Greatrnt bleed. Mr. H. P.

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, Geo. A. Harrison, Chairman Ex.
