CORPS OF TEACHERS
ARC HARD AT WORK.
Military Company is Also
Ready for Work.
The work out at the Agricultural
and Mechanical School has been thor
oughly organized and every student is
hard down at work. Supt. Collum is
assisted in the work by as able a
corps of teachers as can be found in
any school in the state.
The English History Department is
presided over by Prof. R. E. White of
the State University, who has had a
long and successful experience. The
Agricultural and Science Department
has as its head Prof. G. V. Cunning

gave up a school at Hahira, Ga., that
he had established on the line of the
state schools, to take a place in this
school.
The Mathematics and Mechanics
Department is in the hands of Prof.
J. M. Prance of Dalilonega, the Tech
and the State Normal—no similar po
sition is filled by any man in the
state better prepared for his work.
Miss Myrtle Sanborn, a lady of re
finement and splendid accomplish
ments, assits in the literary depart
ment.
The course contemplates a four-year
course abo\e the seventh grade, with
the addition of a four-year course in
mechanics and a three-year course in
the laboratories. All the classes have
been organized, with the addition of
a preparatory class. The first class
will graduate in June.
The school is possibly the best dis
ciplined school in the state, since the
adoption of military discipline. Un
der the new organization of the Mili
tary Department, the officers are as
follows:
Officers of Battalion, Commandant,
Homer Prance, Marietta, Ga.; Adju

AMERICUS GETS COTTON BALES
Receipts of Wagon Cotton at Warehonses to Date is
17,595 Bales—September Receipts for Ten
Years Past in Americas Market.
Seventeen thousand five hundred
and ninety-five bales. These figures
represent the warehouse receipts of
wagon cotton in Americus for the
current season up to and including
yesterday, September 30, and reflect
well the importance of Americus as
an inland cotton market.
The figures are entirely accurate,
and were given the Times-Recorder
last night by the scalesmen at the sev
eral warehouses.
This cotton —17,595 bales—repre
sents the cotton received, weighed
and sold at Americus warehouses. It
is strictly “wagon cotton" and docs
not include a bale of that shipped by
rail from other points to the Ameri
cus compress.
“Wagon cotton” is the kind that
promotes trade, and it is this kind
that Americus reaches for out into
new territory every year.
Os the 17,595 bales received here to
date, less than 500 bales, quite likely,
remain in the warehouses unsold.
Seventeen thousand bales have been
sold here already and the cash pro
ceeds turned into the channels of
trade and business.
And what is that amount of cotton
worth to the trade of a city?
Valued at $65 per bale, the excep
tionally fine price paid here recently,
it represents a cash total of $1,105,-
000.
But it may be said that all of this
cotton did not bring such a price.
That is true, but a very large part of
it did, and the balance brought val
ues almost as good. Even at an av
erage of 12 cents per pound, the pro
ceeds therefrom well exceeds a round
million dollars.
And that is what “wagon cotton,”
the kind Americus reaches out for,
FUNERAL OF HISS WHITE
IS HELD AT GRIFFIN.
Body Carried There Yesterday for In
terment.
Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 30. —Miss Ger
trude White, aged 33, years, died at her
residence, 286 Peachtree street, yes
terday afternoon at 4 o’clock, after
an illness of only two days. She was
the daughter of the late Captain John
G. White, who was prominently iden
-6 titled w'ith business interests both in
Atlanta and in St. Louis, where he
afterwards moved. Surviving her are
her mother, Mrs. Dora White, and two
sisters, Mrs. James Davenport of
Americus and Mrs. S. W. Beck of
Griffin. The funeral took place this
morning at 11 o’clock from the resi
dence and the body was taken to Grif
fin for interment.

does for the trade of the city. The
merchants realize its worth, and ap
preciate it.
While receipts for August and
September have been large here, they
are exceeded by receipts to that date
in 1904, five years ago, when it totaled
20,335 bales. But the difference in
price that year and now was 3 cents
per pound, or sls per bale.
The Times-Recorder, by reference
to its files last night, is able to pre
sent a comparative statement of ware
house receipts and prices of cotton on
October Ist, during the past ten
years. The following figures will in
terest the trade and public:
Good
Wagon Mid.
Year. Rets. Oct. 1
1900 .., 14,957 9 7-8 c
1901 5,515 ' 7 l-2c
1902 12,570 77-8 c
1903 (Not known) 9
1904 20,335 9 3-Sc
1905 16,206 9 7-Sc
1906 10,880 10
1907 9,005 10 3-4 c
1908 15,735 8 3-4 c
1909 17,595 12 1-2 C
Thus it will be sen that receipts to
October Ist, this season, are exceeded
alone by the receipts of 1904, when
20,335 bales were marketed here to
date. The price then, however, was
9 3-8 cents, whereas the same grade
cotton was worth 12 1-2 cents yester
terday and recently has been selling
at 13 cents.
During a season Americus receives
about 35,000 “wagon bales” at the
warehouses, while as much more is
shipped from other points to the
compress, thus making the total sea
son's receipts here 70,000 bales.

THE DEATH OF MISS WHITE
A SHOCK TO FRIENDS HERE.
Passed Away Suddenly at Home In
Atlanta.
Relatives in Americus were shock
ed and saddened yesterday morning
at the announcement of the sudden
death, at her home in Atlanta, of Miss
Gertrude White, who resided with her
mother, Mrs. D. H. White, on Peach

The family resided in Americus sev

Relatives here of the young lady
were with her in Atlanta only the

health and spirits. The announce
ment of her death, therefore, was quite
a shock to them, as to others.
Miss White was a young lady of
! rare beauty and charm of manner, and
was greatly loved among a wide circle
of friends, who sorrow in her sudden
demise. Mr. and Mrs. Davenport left
immediately for Atlanta yesterday
morning.

IN CASE ON 1 RIAL.
Jury Hung Up on Gardner
Case.
The case of the State versus G. S.
Gardner, on trial in the city court be
fore Judge Chas. R. Cr’sp yesterday,
bids fair to result in a mistrial, unless
the jurors can reconcile in due time
their widely divergent views upon the
issue involved.
At 9 o’clock last night the jury stood
nine to three, but whether the major
ity stood for conviction or acquittal
they did not say.
Mr. Gardner, the well known For
syth street merchant, is on trial for
alleged violation of the state prohi
bition laws, and the ease has excited
much interest.
The testimony adduced yesterday
morning was to the effect that there
had been whiskey upon the premises,
two white men, Messrs. Bradley and
Gammage, testifying that they had re
ceived it there.
Mr. Bradley got it upon two occa
sions, it is said, having been one of
several others who ordered whiskey
from other points. The package was
delivered at Mr. Gardner’s store,
when each man thus ordering got his
portion of it.
Mr. Gardner did not sell any whis
key, as disclosed by the evidence, nor
was he the agent of the others inter
ested, the party merely ordering to
gether.
Mr. Womack did not order any
whiskey, but was merely given a
drink, one shipment, it. is alleged, hav
ing been ordered in his name by other
parties.
Mr. Gardner in his statement did
not deny tHat he, with other friends,
had ordered whiskey together, each
taking his portion upon the arrival of
of the package. No whiskey was kept
in his store, he said, or was any ever
sold there.
Mr. Gardner is represented by Col.
F. A. Hooper, while Solicitor Childers
and Col. L. J. Blalock appear for the
state.
