THE BANNER, FRIDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 20} 1907.
GRIFFITH A
WELCH’S
COTTON LETTER
Athens, Ga., December 19.
The cotton market today was dull
during the morning at unchanged
prices, but after the noon hour declin
ed about twenty points. Influenced by
the report that the ginners’ figures to
morrow would be about 9,300,000.
Why the figures quoted should have a
bearish effect upon the market is not
quite plain. Last year the amount
ginned to December 13th was 11,-
113,000, and the year previous 9,-
282,000. The latter year produced on
ly 11,233,817 and about 400.000 of that
figure was cotton carried over from
the former year. The market is so
entirely in the hands of Wall street
speculators just at present that it is
Impossible to forecast what effect the
ginners’ report will have tomorrow.

New York Cotton.
New York, December 19.—The cot
ton market opened steady at a decline
of 1 to 5 points which was fully as
good as due on the showing of the
English market. The report of the
National Ginners’ Association showing
9,323,000 bales ginned to December
13th, seemed disappointing to some re
cent buyers, however, and during the
early session prices eased ofT to a net
loss of about 3 to 5 points on the ac
tive months. Business was not active
and with the census report due at
the opening tomorrow there was more
disposition to even up old accounts
than to enter into new commitments
During the middles of the morning
the market was rather narrow and ir
regular within a point or two of the
lowest.
The market was quiet but steady
late in the forenoon with prices about
3 to 4 points net lower.
Spot, quiet; middling uplands 11.90,
middling gulf 12.15.

ANOTHER MINE HORROR
OCCURS IN PENNSYLVANIA.
Connellsville, Pa., December 19.—
Four hundred miners are entombed in
the Darr mines of the Pittsburg Coal
Company at Jacobs’ creek, 18 miles
west of here. Of these fully 100 are
Americans, the rest being foreigners;
principally Hungarians. A terrific ex
plosion shook the vicinity of the mine
today and announced to the surround
ing country that some great convulsion
had taken place beneath the surface.
Shortly after smoke began to lssne
in heavy columns from the mouth
of the mine, which , la of the slope va
riety.
The mouth of the mine was wreck
ed, and this circumstance In connec
tion with the fire which was discov
ered to be raging inside, prevented
effectually up to lp. m. any attempt
at rescue of the Imprisoned men.

The farmers of the State will ho
interested to know that the railroads
have agreed to make a special rate
for the Gotten School to be held In
Athens, Ga„ January 6th to 17th in
clusive. Going tickets will be on sale
January 4th to 7th, and will be good
to return until midnight of the 18th.
The rate is four cents per mile for
the round trip plus 25 cents. This
corresponds to the old rate of a fare
and a third, and while the saving in
many instances will not be large, it
amounts to considerable where long
distances are to be traversed.
The point of importance is for all
who expect to attend the Cotton
School to make eertain that they are
beneficiaries of his rate, or In case
the ticket agent lias failed to receive
proper notice cf the same to he sure
to secure a certificate so the matter
can he adjused on reaching Athens
and a low return rate obtained. We
desire to call attention to the fact that
.a farmer from Brunswick can attend
this school at a cost of 12.47; from
Thsmasville for $10.81; from Valdos
ta for $10.57; and from Dawson for
$8.41. It is quite clear from these
figures that any farmer in Georgia can,
attend the Cotton School at a cost
not to exceed $15.00 o $23.00 for all
legitimate expenses connected with
the school. This is considerably low
er than our first estimate and should
encourage many to come who have
hesitated in the past. I
