PURCHASE OF P. A. JACKSON PLACE
John L. Wooten Buys the Large and
Valuable Plantation-Considera
tion Said to Be $26,-
000.
A real estate deal of considerable
ifiterest and importance, and which
has been pending for two or three
weeks, was finally closed up yester
day, Mr. John L. Wooten thereby
securing possession of the large P.
A. Jackson plantation near Americus.
The consideration is said to have
been twenty-six thousand dollars;
quite a snug sum.
The property, consisting of 1760
acres farming and timber land some
eighteen miles south of Americus,
was owned by Mrs. P. A. Jackson and
is the place upon which she now re
sides. The sale, it is said, included
livestock and farm utensils.
Mr. Wooten, it is understood, will
take possession in December.
The plantation is one of the finest
cotton farms in southwestern Geor
gia, and Mr. Wooten will operate it
thusly another year. Upon the place
is a track of 800 acres virgin pine
timber, a fact which greatly en
chances its value.
Mrs. Jackson will come to Anjericus
to reside next year, taking iter pretty
home on Taylor street, next the home
hances its value.

SHORTAGE A MILLION BALES
FEARFUL HAVOC BEEN WROUGHE WEST 0E RIVER
W. D, Burnley of New Orleans, Well Known to the Cotton Trade, Tells of
Crop Conditions in Texas and Ihe West,
"it is a safe prediction that the
new cotton crop will be 1,000,000 bales
less than last season.” This state
ment was made by Mr. M. D. Burn
ley, traveling representative of Gilbert
& Clay, of New Orleans, on the floor
of the Savannah Cotton Exchange yes
terday. Mr. Burnley is on an ex
tensive trip through the belt.
He has not yet completed his study
of conditions in Georgia and Caro
. lina.
' In Texas.l found the crop at least
a million hales short of the last
season's production," said Mr. Burn
ley. “In the central, west and south
western sections oj: the state, cotton
is still deterioting on account of the
unprecedentedly hot weather Which
has prevailed for many weeks.
"In North Texas, where the crop is
better, fen early frost would cut down
my estimate three or four hundred
thoysand more bales.
Arkansas Worst in Years.
"The crop in Western Arkansas is
the worst in years and cannot possi
bly be more than two-thirds as large
as last year. In the lowlands there
is some fairl? good cotton, hut in
the hills there is poor fruitage and
shedding. A conservative estimate of
the'shrinkage over last season would
be 200,000 bales.

“With the constantly increasing con

PASSENGER TRAINS

Central to Restore Old
Schedule
FROM AMERICUS FO COLUMBUS
Daily Passenger Frains Will Be Put
On Again, Operating Through
From Americus to Newnan
as Before.
jP'Billy Hanks” the slow and panting
/•ain that struggles between Americus
and Columbus over this division o£
the Central Railway, will be dethron
ed after this week and passenger
trains operated each way between
these two cities. J
This information was given out
yesterday, and will be hailed with
joy all along the*line.
The “Hanks” did the best it could,
but a heavy freight train, with a
passenger coach attached to the rear,
it not up to the marlC in these 'days
of modern railroading.
The new double daily passenger
schedule goes into effect Sunday next.
The southbound train will run through
from Newnan, via Columbus, to Am
ericus, arriving here at 1:30 noon.
Returning, the train leaves Americus
for Newnan at 2:30 p. m.
This very convenient schedule was
operated until some time in June last,
When lack of patronage caused the
company to abandon it. It was prom
ised at the time, however, that the
schedule would be restored later in
the season.
In addition to the passenger trains,
,as noted above, the freight and ac
commodation trains will be operated
as before.
PREDICTS WAR
WITH JAPAN
Celestials Will Aid Nippon in
Conflict with America.
ANN ARBOR, MICH., Sept 5.
Chentung R. Wang, the eminent
Chinaman and advocate of reforms In
his own country, predicts a mighty
struggle between the United States
and the yellow race.
"Within ten years at the most,”
says Wang, “Japan and America will'
become involved in a conflict. The
sympathy of China will go with Ja
pan, and she will join in a struggle
to preserve the Independence of the
two Oriefitial powers and maintain
control of the far east.”
Wang was secretary of the Chin
ese Y. M. C. A. at Tokyo, Japan, and
Is in close touch with the attitude of
botli his own people and the Japanese.
He lias been a constant worker for
reform in China, and believes that
complete civilization will soon dawn
on his country. He says an imperial
edict will go forth, within a year or
dering the Chinese to remove their
queus, and that one regiment lias al
ready been attired in a European style
of uniform.
Wang will enter the literary col
lege of the University of Michigan,
and expects to return to his reform
work among his own people when he
finishes his course. He speaks Eng
lish perfectly.
