win the desperate fight at all hazards.
The local market went off a fraction
yesterday and everything was at quiet at
the tomb. It wtt exceedingly quiet.
A TiURt-RKCorDKB reporter Inter
viewed a prominent cotton merchant
yesterday morning concerning the re
ceipts of Amerlcus tbit season and the
prospects for a rite In prices—a reaction
from the present stagnation In cotton
circles. , <M ,
“Why arc the receipts to very small? 1
was asked.
“They are not very small when you
take into consideration the amount of
cotton raised In the vicinity: Ourcotton.
receipts last year were about 08,000 hales,
the crop tills’ year U 30 per cent, short.
Thirty per cent, now of 03,000 Is 18,000
bales.’ Now take 18,000 : bales from
03,000 and it leaves 43,000 bales as the
maximum of our receipts for this year.! 1
“But, will Amertrus receive tbls43,000
bales this year?"
“That question is easily answered by
referring you to the present receipts and
let you draw your own cor elusions
can say that from present indications
that I believe that before the season Is
at an end that the culminating figure
wilt be in excess of 43,030. Our ware
house facilities are excellent, and taking
everything Into consideration the people
ol Amerlcus have abundant reasons to
feel pride in. her record as a cotton
market.”
“What about prices*"
“They are lower now than anytime
within my memory for twenty years,
am certain, however, that It will he next
thing to an impossibility for them to
sink any lower than they are now.”
“Is there much ungathered cotton?”
“No, the crop is to all practical ends
gathered, and not enough remains in the
fields to affect In n material measure the
present computations of the amount of
cotton produced.
The staple of cotton Is much superior
this year than It has been for years.'

Write* a Card Favoring Further Reduction
j , t of IhoTax Bata.
To THgTlMKs-REConnm:—From your
article under the head of “Fledged to
Reform,” in yesterday’s Issue, referring
to a reduction of taxes and “reform,”
readers would infer that the present city
council has been engaged in riotously
squandering “the surplus.” Give the
devil hts dues. It Is true, our taxes hare
been high. What was the cause? Can
a community have complete system* of
water works and sanitary sewerage, new
buildings, new streets tmd parks, with
out price? These things cost money.
The people elected to have them, and
they bare been called upon to foot the
bills. That’* alt
Now that these things have been about
paid for, the people bave a right to ex
pect a reduction, and this they have had
the the extent of S3 per cent the preient
year, and there Is now no good reason
why there should not be a further re
daction next year.
A word about that asphalt pavement
which some of the designing councilmeu
are trying to “slip up” oo, and have put
down “whether or no.” A few week*
since a committee from the Amerlcus
Manufacturing and Improvement Com
pany, consisting of the secretary and
treasurer, with five of the directors, all
prominent citizens and heavy tax-pay
ers, came before our body and aaked
that a certain system ot pavement be
looked into. At their requesta commit
tee was appointed for this purpose
The whole matter amounted to so little,
that the committee has never made a re
port, and I doubt whether they have
ever given it a thought since. Suoli Is
the history of the asphalt pavement of
the city of Amerlcus. The city will
doubtless breathe easier this morning
after having this “job" uncovered.

comedies have embodied In them so

ARE TOLERABLY GOOD,
But who wants a tolerably good egg ?
And there’s a heap of trouble about a tol
erably good stove.
This season has proven that there is one
line of stoves at least that is good (without
the tolerable) and they are sold at the Ar
tesian Corner.
The Artesian Corner Stoves are fitted
up with forly pieces of ware, where other
dealers only give twenty-six. As usual, you
get more and pay less at the Artesian Cor
ner.
They don’t like it—the “tolerably good”
