NEW YORK COTTON LETTER.
(Dally by Private Wire to Clark & Co )
New York, Feb. 3.—Price sent the
following circular to Liverpool last
night:
"While the Census Department it
self says that these figures are but.an
estimate, and while its prjvlous ex
pel lence of 1902 along the same line
does not justify much confidence In
them, It Is plain that th dr publication
1ms stimulated buying on the part of
spinners and has stopped liquidation
end short selling. For the moment,
therefore, we are prob ibly confronted
with a situation in which the buying
will overweigh the selling, and this
buying may at any time be augmented
by the covering of the considerable
short Interest which hat: been and is
always created as an incident of a
declining market. The market today,
although nervous, lias shown consid
erable underlying strength, and the
probability seems lo fivor a further
and substantial recovery.”
GIBERT & CLAY.
Although there are rumors by the
score, there are to date many, less than
a score of candidates for county of
fices. *
Sheriff F. G. Edwards, one of the
oldest officers, in point of service, in
tho state, announces for re-election,
and no opposition to him has devel
oped.
Clerk and ex-offlclo Treasurer R. P.
Hall Is in the race to succeed himself.
His contention in connection with his
joint office haB been explained in these
columns. Thus far no opposition to
I his candidacy for Clerk has developed.
There are two candidates for Treas
urer. Mr. H. A. Tarver announced sev
eral days ago, and the formal an
nouncement of Mr. Paul H. Jones ap
pears this afternoon.
The race between these two gentle
men promises to be one of the liveli
est in the history of the county. Both
are popular, and each has a wide ac
quaintanceship. They will make ac
tive campaigns, and neither will al
low any grass to grow under his feet.
Their friends will be hardly less vigil
ant. That inter* st 11 the race Is high
Is proved by the fact that wagers on
the result are already being made.
It is taken for granted that all the
other county officials will he candf-
dates to succeed themselves, though
several have not yet announced.

Liverpool, due 4 up, came 3 down,
on sales of 10,000 bales, which were
splendid for any day, but remarkable
for Saturday.
. Long lines of weak cotton were
liquidated on the opening, and prices
sank 11 to 20 points.
The worm will turn, and every dog
has his day. Theodore Price, the man
who argued that 1 inters were suitable
for making print cloths, turned bull
with very long horns.
GIRL FULLS IN FIRE:
i? NOT SURVIVE.
Little 4 - Year - Old Child
Was Seriously Burned
at Her Home in This
City Last Night.
John W. Gates wired Ills friends to
buy cotton for a long rise.
A little girl, aged 4 years, dropped
from a chair In her parents’ room in
this city about 7:30 o’clock last night,
and fell into an open grate, in which
was a blazing fire.
The screams of the unfortunate lit
tle one were heard by the mother in
an adjoining room, and she rushed
to the rescue. She found her child In
a most frightful condition. The flames
had eaten the clothes off her back, and
her neck, face and arms were one
mass of blisters.
A physician was quickly summoned
by her mother. The wounds were
dressed, and at last reports, the un
fortunate little girl was a little better,
though still In a serious condition.
There is slight chance for her re-
covery.
The eyesight of the little one, the
physician states, will he lost forever.
The /unfortunate parents have the
heartfelt sympathy of a host of
friends.
t Note—This story might have ap
peared in tho news columns of The
Herald today If the thoughtful father
of the little girl Iiad not bought, just.
that afternoon, a fire-fender from the
hardware establishment of Mr. R. C.
Eatman.
The fire-fender not only saved the
child from a horrible death or serious
injuries by fire, but it may have
saved the bouse from burning down.
The fire-fenders that Eatman sells
are constructed so that it is impossible
for a spark or piece of live coal to
fall out of the grate onto the floor.
For the protection of your children
and your home, therefore, you should
get one or more of these splendid
fire-fenders. The quality is the best
and the price is not high.
The Denver Syndicate does business
on a large scale. They placed $1,000,-
1 000 behind their 1 on,000 bales, and
j this will "hold it for quite a while.”H >

FOR CLERK^SUPERIOR COURT. |
We are authorized to announce the
candidacy of Mr. R. P. Hall for re-
election to the office of Clerk of the
Superior Court and ex-officio treasurer
of Dougherty County, subject to the
white Democratic primary.
; Futures a Necessity.
Under modern business methods, as
j the commercial world Is organized, it
jls absolutely impossible for large busi
ness concerns to conduct their bus!-
j ness on a. safe basis without employ-
jing options, or what are generally
known as futures. Futures are really
i the insurance of profits. The whole-
1 sale grocer buys wheat, corn and
1 grain options on the Chicago Board of
i Trade. This insures tho doliveiy of
, grain in the South at a fixed price.
Tho merchant then sells small quan
tities to the country trade, and specu
lation does not enter into the calcula
tion at all. it would be quite impos
sible for him to do this unless he
could jjuy for future delivery. The
Liverpool cotton merchant seLs the
English spinner for future delivery,
and at once buys contracts in the fu
ture market to hedge this sale. He,
j In turn, buys cotton from the Ameri-
'can exporter for future delivery, and
the American merchant buys futures
to make himself safe. And so It goes
; all through tho list of commerce.
| Futures are creatures of necessity,
and the very best friend of spot cot
ton. In fact, the great American crop
could not be handled without futures.
Banks which a few years ago fought
shy of futures now regard them as the
highest form of-collateral, and are only
too happy to lend the full market price
on cotton when same are protected by
a sale of futures. Every first-class
town lu the South now supports a bro
ker’s office, and the town that does not
may be put down as having little or
no business enterprise.
| Hood, Fernle & Co., of Liverpool, is-
'sued n sensationally bullish circular,
j warning their friends against the short
side of cotton, and adding "how can
! any sane man expect a decline when
trade conditions \re perfect?”
Price’s circular was the' sensation
of the day. 'Vl’he Liverpool ring is lia
ble to bo on fire on Monday.
The Southern planters have “sweat
ed blood” on their holdings, hut the
shadows of •'night have passed and
dawn is near at hand.
Back your judgment with your cash,
and buy cotton on all declines.
