(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. SHORT PRICES ON SHORT LOTS. Elegant china at cut prices.

Furnished for Daily Herald Readers by Clark & Co. 9 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 $1,000,- 1 000 behind their 1 on,000 bales, and j this will "hold it for quite a while.”H > g$"Also »Hurd Coal for Furnaces and Blacksmiths’ Coal ’Phone 17,. r CENTRAL OF GEORGIA.

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. better than government bonds. HEATERS For Less R. C. EATMAN. RICHMOND. KY.. HAVING A BIG FIRE.
