Above 100.
Eight thousand dollars will be paid
out in Americus next year, in quar

en old soldiers and one widow of
a veteran, will draw their stipends
next year from January Ist. Since
Captain Cobb has been in the ordi
nary’s office he has already added
twenty-one pensioners to the list,
bringing the grand total up to 120.
Os this large number, dawing SB,OOO
annually hereafter, there are' nine
disabled old soldiers, spventy-nine in
digents, sixteen widows, and sixteen
widows of deceased veterans.
DELEGATE TO MEETING

Sumter Negro s Against it
Hard.
The chief deacon of a colored
church just out of Americus has fal
len among the Phillistines and the
biff came near jolting him off the wa
ter wagon, and into the chaingang.
Arranged in purple and fine linen,
and with pictures of association

lighted vision, he packed his sixty
cent suit case and set sail for the
synagogue. But he never got be

off to view the metropolis. He view

him, for when the perlice harvested
Deac ten minutes later the sidewalk
had already smote him in the face.
The caps opened up his suit case, and
the contents amazed even these hard
ened minions of the law. For the
good deacons, evidently anticipating a
drouth of Sahara-like proportions,
had filled his skin full of booze and
his grip full of bottles, the police
harpooning one pistol, three quarts
of corn liquor, seven bottles of beer
and two quarts of “Come Back” long
range gin—enough to stock up a
locker club and an armory—and he a
deaconic delegate. The only ‘session”
he attended was at Coredele’s jail,and
it cost the “boss man” in Americus
sixty dollars to get him out of the
coop and home again.

BETTER TELLING
IN WALL STREET
Three Small Batik Failures
For Day.
NEW YORK, October 24.—(Special)
—Three small banks failed today—
the Hamilton Bank. Twelfth Ward
Bank and the Empire City Savings
bank. Little effect was produced on
the general situation. Rockefeller de
posited $10,000,000 in the Union
Trust Company to aid the situation.
Small bills to the amount of $10,000,-
000 were received from the sub
treasury this morning from Washing
ton.
A distinctly more cheerful tone
prevails in Wall street. J. Pierpont
Morgan, Secretary Cortelyou and
others speak encouragingly of the
situation. The bouyant upshoot of
prices at the opening of the stock
market was not sustained owing to
forced liquidation and the general
level fell below that of yesterday.
Negotiations are in progress for
the resumption of business by the
Knickerbocker Trust Company.
At 2 o’clock this afternoon call
money was commanding 50 to 70 per
cent.

Connecticut Aided Confeds
Mr. Robert H. Kellogg, of Dela
ware, 0., who was a prisoner in the
stockade, made an address, during
which he reviewed conditions inside
the prison. His words were kindly
and no ill-will was shown towards
the South. He said that the Connecti
cut soldiers were the best
drilled and best behaved of all
the prisoners and that they had been
of much service to the Confederate
government in preserving order.
Conditions in the New South were
touched upon, the speaker expressing
his gratification at the prosperity that
seemed to abound on every side.

monuments and the graves. Their

and will compare most favorably with
the other monuments.

REPORTED FAILURE
NOT CONFIRMED.
Association Press Had No
Basis of Rumors.
Rumors were current on the streets
of Americus yesterday, and probably
in every town and city in the South,
that one of ‘the greatest mercantile
establishments of the country had
failed. The report was posted at the
Cotton Exchange. There was more
general discussion of the report than
of any incident of the present Wall
street panic.
The Times-Recorder made inquiries
by telegraph and last night received
advices that the Associated Press
failed entirely to confirm the reported
failure, up to 7 p. m., and that there
was no authority for publications of
the character referred to.
About two months ago a somewhat
similar report about the same house
was circulated in this section, origi
nating with a Northern drummer who
informed merchants hero and else
where that the house was In trouble.
There was considerable talk at the
time, but nothing approaching that
