He helped to build Americus from a

For twenty years Mr. Harrold was

Mr. Harrold was a frequent wisitor

NEW YORK, Sept. 12.— Samuel L.
Clemons (Mark Twain) will not pilot
President’s steamer down the Missis
sippi when the President makes his
next Southern and Western trip.
Some of Mr. Clemons’ admirers in
the Mississippi Valey have been plan
ning to revive the old days when Mark
Twain was a Mississippi pilot, and
Capt. Bixby, an old-time pilot, had
promised to stand his trick at the
wheel along with the author, if the
latter could be induced to steer the
President’s steamer.
This was to be after atending the
waterways convention, to be held in
Memphis next month. Mr. Clemons
however, has declined the invitation
to attend that convention. He is stop

EEEECTIVE ADVERTISEMENT.
Elve Thousand Copies Taken By Lo
cal Concerns, While Seaboard
Distributes 10,000
Copies.
The books descriptive of Sumter

IMMIGRANTS COMING
•TO SAVANNAH
First Lot of 150 Artisans Sail
Soon.
Savannah will be ready to take care
of the first load of immigrants when
they arrive at that port early next
month.
In a message to City Council Wed
nesday night Mayor Tiedeman announ
ced the apointment of a committee to
arrange for receiving the immigrants
when they come, and to have charge
of the details preliminary to the move
ment of foreigners of the immigrant
class into Georgia through Savannah.
The immigrants will come over on
one of the vesels of the Austro-Ameri
can line and will be consigned to
Strachan & Co., agents of the company
at that port. The original idea was
to have the steamship Eugenia of the
Austro-American Line bring the first
load of immigrants over, but the Eu
genia was chartered for New* Orleans
instead. If the original plan had been
carried out the Eugenia would have
been in Savannah now, as she was
scheduled to sail from Trises, Aug
ust 24.
There were to have been something
like eighty immigrants on the Eugenia
for Savannah. It is now believed that
the steamer will bring at least 150.
aliens to this port.
The immigrants who are coming
will make the trip of their own free
will. No special inducements are
being held out to them and they are
to pay their own passage. They will
consist of some of the better class of
Austrians, but whether they will be
farmers or artisans has not yet been
announced. That there will be a lib
eral number of both classes is ex
pected.

19 CENTS FOR COTTON
PAID IN AMERICUS
Four Bales Net Owner Over
SSOO
COTTON IS LONG STAPLE VARIETY
Lour Bales Sold in Americus Yester
day at Nineteen Cents, While
Ordinary Cotton Sold for
Twelve Cents.
While the ordinary short staple cot
ton was selling in Americus yester
day at 12 cents to 12*4, Mr. R. S.
Broadhurst sold one lot of four bales
from his farm near the city which net
ted him the handsome sum of five
hundred dollars.
An everage of $125 per bale, against
S6O paid for the short staple. This
price—ssoo—included the value of
the seed from his bales, which are
worth $1 per bushel.
Mr. Broadhurst is highly pleased at
the result of his first year with Flora
dora long staple.
He has planted this variety exten
sively this year, as have many farm
ers ol Sumter, and the premium price
of seven cents per pound paid for it
over short staple will induce the plant
ing of a much larger area another
year.
The excellent price received by Mr.
Broadhurst for his bales yesterday
was due in large measure to their pre
paration. The cotton was picked in
cleanly manner and ginned very slow
ly upon a water mill gin, thus pres
erving the texture.
Surely $125 per bale for cotton, even
including the seed, should be a highly
satisfactory price. Mr. Broadhurst
thinks so, and will plant Floradora
cotton again.
