COTTON BUYERS TALK.
What they Think of the Pros
pects for Better Prices.
The market for cotton now stands
on the basis ot the following prices,
which was paid yesterday by the
buyers in the city: Low middl ng
9 i-i6, middling 9 1-4, good middli ig
9 1-4, and there were more buyers
than rellers at these prices. The
market opened unusually early this
year everywhere, and while the price
was fine at the commencement of the
season, the decline when it did set In
was rapid. This has been owing
chiefly to the large receipts at the
principal cotton centres, the general
scarcity of money, and the trouble in
the Liverpool market. Money has
been very tight in New York, but it is
now considered that the danger of a
panic is over, arid in sixty days money
will be easier, ai id by Tanuary it will
be plentiful It is said that the supply
of cotton in the great F.astern mills is
running short, anti of course this will
help raise the price.
Knowing that the cotton situation
is just now of the most important
mome it to both fariwxff and buyers,
a Times Enterprise reporter caled
on all the lending buyers in «ke city,
and below we publish their opinions:
L. Steycrman—Cotton, I think, *61
go up shortly. I
F. N. Lohnstein—I am of the
opinion that the sudden drop in colt/ 1 * 1
is a sure indication that a r&#cfioB
will soon set in, and then cotton v»fj
go up.
B. A Bass—I think cotton will re»
mam steady for some time, hut farm
ers arc getting 9 1-2 on occounts.
J. M. Lee—I don’t oiler my opinion
afte r a thorough study of the situation,
but I believe cotton is going to move
up in figures.
W. D. Mitchell—Bound to rise.
The trouble at Liverpool is over,
money is more easy, and cotton is
sure to go up.
Dr. C. W. Stegall—There is a quick
demand fur cotton, and you uni I find
more buyers than sellers, but the
market is as yet too uncertain for me
to form nn opinion about the future
market.
H. Wise—I think she will Tenram
on a basis of present prices for some
time.
Dr. M. R. Mallettc was seen at the
depot by the reporter, and his opinion
was requested. I think the market
will remain steady for some time,
unless the farmers hold their crop, as
they are thinking of doing for better
prices. In that case cotton will go up
as the demand for the staple is heavy.
From the above views expressed by
gentlemen who are in a position to
daily study the market and indica
tions, the general belief is that mere
will be a considerable upward tendency
in the market before long.
Important Action of the Board of
Trustees, South Georgia
College.
President Wright, of the board of
trustees, South Georgia College, call
ed a special meeting of board yes
terday morning, in Judge Mitchell’s
office at 10:30 o’clock. Present
A. P. Wright, W. D. Mitchell, J. G.
Culpepper, S. L. Hayes, T. E. Black-
shear, John I. Parker and John Triplett.
The election of a Principal of the
Music Department was brought be
fore the board. Col. Wright had four
or five applications for the position
which he submitted to - tho board.
After some little discussion, Professor
Lynch was unanimously chosen to fill
the place. Professor Lynch is well
known here^ as a fine musician and a
successful. teicher. He is North, at
present, but will doubtless be here at
an early day to begin his duties.
A member of the board suggested,
after the election of Professor Lynch,
that an Art Department would widen
the scope ot the institution, and add
to its popularity. The suggestion was
indorsed by the board, and Mrs. J. P.
McAuley elected Principal of the Art
Department. This new department
will enable all the scholars, who desire
to do so, to receive instruction in
drawing and painting, and under the
guidance of a lady thoroughly compe
tent to teach them. Mrs. McAuley
has made a life long study of the arts
ol design in its various branches; of
painting and drawing ; also of the mi
nor ; arts, ,»Qyd carving, hammered
brass, and china .painting. She has
taken a full course ai study at the fa
mous art center in New York, Cooper
Union, and at the schools of the Me
tropolitan Museum,under the mod ex
perienced and successful artists and
teacfii'rsofthe day ; among them Mr.
John Wrrd Stinson, Principal of the
New York Institution for artists artiz-
ans,' Mr. R. C. Cleveland Coxe, and
J. Aldcn Weir, all well known in art cir
cles.
It is Mrs. McAuley’s purpose to fit
up a studio in the college with all the
modem appliances, where she will
give regular lessons in any or all de
partments ot art. Here is a veryjexcel-
lent and rare opportunity for any to
study art under a teacher who is an
artist by nature and education. We
hope the lady will soon have a large
class in her department. The institu
tion is lortunate in having secured the
servkes of such an accomplished lady
as Mrs. McAuley, and we trust she
wilt find the position both pleasant and
profitable.
Tho Cordele shoe factory is a mam

Will not Thomasville learn a lesson

Mr. James Moore is back from
Troy, Ala., where he has been engag
ed in business for some weeks. He
will leave next week for Atlanta, where
he will re-enter the technological school,
graduating at the next commencement.
Mr. Moore is a fine mechanic, has a
good head on his shoulders, is steady
and persevering, and will make his
mark in life.
The firm ofMoller Jr Hawthorn has
dissolved partnership. Mr. A. W.
Mollcr will continue the business
alone. Their notice of dissolution is
published elsewhere in this morning’s
paper.
There are pleasing evidences of a
lack of harmony in the republican
party, cropping out iu several states.
The electric lights failed to put tn
a n appearance last night, and the con
sequence was that the composing and
pre.;s rooms in the Time-Enterprise
building, and all others using the
light, were in temporary darkness.
Gas, lamps, candles etc., weie brought
into requisition. We understand that
lightning struck the electric works
during the thunder storm yesterday
afternoon, and disabled some of the
machinery. It will doubtless be
promptly repaired. .Last night was
dark as Egypt, with a steady rain
falling, making the absence ot the
bright electric lights more conspicu
ous.
The Times-Enterp.bise job office
has just received another large ship-

The following brieflcls are from the
busy brain of Stanton, in the last issue
of the Constitution:
Thus rhymes the editor of The Ear
ly County News:
If you wish to sec the editor
Smile clean down to his collar,
Just walk into his sanctum
And leave a silver dollar.
Writes a Georgia editor: We have
resigned from tho band and wo row
offer our brass horn for a club of tcu
subscribers. If the horn is played
scientifically, we guarantee that it will
keep any neighborhood awake seven
nights in the week.”
A burglar recently entered a Geor
gia editor’s room. When ho found
out his mistake he subscribed to the
paper aud loaned tho editor 83.00.
“The Farmers’ Ticket” in Scrivcn
county has carried the day against the
“Democratic Ticket.” Last Monday
at the primary election there were two
tickets, one Democratic ticket, headed
by Mr. John II, Hull, and a farmers’
ticket, headed by Rev. Henry G.
Edenfield. The farmers’ ticket won
by about four to one.
The above, from the Waycross Re
porter, is misleading. The farmers of
Georgia arc democrats. Wo do not
believo that they can be induced to
quit tho party which lias been their
shield and protection. But this is
just what Republican McCuno nnd
others are trying to bring about. Let
us continue to hope tlint the plans of
the republicans will be defeated.
Matt Quay and some of his republi
can allies tried to put n high tariff on
quinine tho other day. The demo
crats defeated the move. Under the
old ltigh tariff the drug sold for from
four to six dollars per ounce; since the
duty was talced off it has sold as low
ns thirty five cents per ounco. It is
now within roach of tho poor, but the
republicans, in order to enrich, two or
three manufacturers, would extort
money from the poor, chill strickon
people. Was ever anything more in
famous?
Reed was re elected from his old
district in Maine, by n largo majority.
He is not, ns wo hastily predicted yes
terday, “roasting on a lower limb.”
In fact he is perched on the top limb.
He will return to Washington and
turn out a few more democrats, just
to celebrate his victory. Reed is very
flashy and bull necked, aud apoplexy
may get aim yet. It scents that noth
ing short of that will down the man
from Maiuo. We still live in hopes
that something will happen to him.
