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 moth concern, and steps are now be ing taken to make it one of the largest shoe factories in the southern states. Will not Thomasville learn a lesson from the example set by her illustrious neighbor? There is ample capital here to start half a dozen manufactur ing enterprises. 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- nient of stationery, including note heads, letter heads, bill heads, state ments. flat paper, cards, envelopes, etc. We buy none but the best goods, and our customers cau always rely on getting the worth of their money when they patronize us. 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. We are the People, For tlie People, And With the People. Shoe leather has advanced, but notwithstanding the ad vance we have determined to make a still deeper cut into our immense stock. The pruning knife has been busy the early part of this week, and for the beginning of the season we will offer the largest, handsomest and best selected stock of the best makers in the market. In gentlemen’s shoes we show Williams, Kneeland:& Cos, famous fine hand-sewed pat ent leathers in all thedifferent shapes. Our own well known $3.00 shoe needs no puffing, as every pair sold advertises us. We are closing out the famous Zeigler Bro’s gent’s shoes at © S T. Another senatorial district added to {the Gordon column yester day. The convention at Guyton in structed for Gordon. And this is the district wherein the lion. Thomas M. Norwood resides. Gordon always gets there. The Atlanta Constitution gets of! this whopper: There is a cat in Athens that weighs about sixteen pounds. It is au im mense feline and swallows an ordina ry chicken without the slightest diffi culty. The Quitman Press says that statis tics will show that five girl babies have been born in Quitman to ouc boy during tho past two years. SIGNAL SERVICE BUREAU —AT K. Thomas Jr'r 120 Broad Street. R.
