King Kotton, dethroned and on the run for nearly a week, rallied and “came back’’ today, to the delight Americus talept occupying front seats upon the anxious bench. Many mel ancholy faces were seen about the warehouses Monday morning when the market opened at a further decline from Saturday’s closing figures, and it really seemed that prices migh: go down to the mudsills. But before noon the unexpected re action came about, and values again, soared. The December option, about which most speculative interest centers, came up to 12.65 cents before noon, a net advance of thirty points, while the March position again got above the 1 i cents notch. The advance in futures, of course, gave a stronger tone to the spot market, and the getter grades were again quoted at 12 to 12 1-4 cents. The demand today is hardly nomai, and few sales of interest in the spot market were reported. “MADE IN BAINBRIDGE” WILL 8E AT FAIP BAINBRIDGE, Ga., Oct. 11.—The Brainbridge Board of Trade has pre pared an attractive exhibit of “Made in Bainbridge” goods for the South west Georgia fair in Donaldsonville next w-eek.

Twenty-two saloons were found vio- j lating the closing order. Only 16 ar-j rests were made for drunkenness yes terday, as compared with 47 Saturday, I and compared with the average of 243 for two days in several months past.

The fighting continues, according to an Athens dispatch to the Matin. The telephone communications be tween Belgrade and Nish have been cut. Bombarding in Champagne. PARIS, Oct. 11. —The only news last night, according to the war office, was a fairly severe German bombardment near Lescarpea in the Champagne country, and in the Souain region. The French batteries replied effectively. From the Balkans. LONDON, Oct. 11.—The Teutjnri forces which with the help of their giant 305 millimetre guns crossed ta® Danube and Save rivers and occupied Belgrade, are meeting with stubborn resistance at the Serbian advanced de fensive. They have not yet encoun tered the main Serbian armv. The plan of the Serbian campaign depends considerably upon tiie assist ance of the Allies’ troops. It is not be lieved that they will attempt to make a decided stand north of the Kraguy Evatz mountains. Telegrams from the Balkans reject i a tone of cheerful confidence in the ability of the Allies to ultimately ehe-k the Teutonic invasion and successfn’ly meet any future attack from Bul garia. The national danger, says telcgiams, has united the Serbians as never be fore and throughout the country men physically unfit for the reguiar army. , women and old men are arming for the defense of the country. The population of Macedonian Ser bia are gathered in bands to repu’se the Bulgarian attack, in addition to 300,000 soldiers. A million Serbians, both seses and of all ages, are ready to dispute at tempts of the Austro-German and Bul garian, conquests. Military writers here are puzzled over the suspense attending the initial of the Bulgarian campaign. It is pro bably considered due to the fact that several' weeks are needed for com plete mobilization when the Russiau ultimatum was sprung. In the western theatre the German attack in the vicinity of Loos appear! to have subsided without material gains. Since October 4th General French reports steady British gains between Hill 70 and Hulloch. Teutons Are Adavncing BERLIN, Oct. 11.—The Austro-Ger man attacks on the Serbians are ad vancing south of Belgrade, it is offi cially announced. Serbians Fight Desperately. BUDAPEST, Oct. 11.—The Austrians and Germans encountered desperate resistance from the Serbians at Be ! - grade. For two days a terrible bayonet battle raged in the street before the capture of the city was completed.
