AHERICUS, GA.. OCT. 19, 1900.
HOW AMERICAS IS INTERESTED.
The prohibition election was held in
Sumter county something over two
years ago, and the question of wet or
dry seems to permeate the atmosphere
like a wet day up to the present time.
There aro just enough of people on
either side to agitate the matter, in
order to keep oar people divided on
every public question. There should
be a limit somowhoro and the people
consolidate their thoughts once more
for the good of Americus.
It docs look strange that a man
shonld bo disqualified for holding of
fice for tho simple reason that he Is
prohibitionist or an anti-prohibitionist,
Tot it seems this is the ea9o in many
instances, although tho office sought
has nothing on earth to do with tho
liquor question. If tho issue shonld bo
deferred nntil the next local option
.ieotion the municipality would be
mnch better off. Why should a local
option election create more strife and
feeling than any othor election? It is
simply an expression by ballot of a ma-
jority of the people, and the law should
fa* enforced if it is possible to do so.
Tho question, it seems to us, ought
not to be injected in the approaching
municipal election, V any people have
so expressed themselves and the hope
that it shonld bo set aside, and that all
patriotic citizens should support men
for the best interests of tho city. Why
should we wrangle and hagglo over
this question? The courts have do
cidod that local option is a state law,
and should be enforced in the Btate
oourts, Tho municipality has no juris
diction over such matters, and even if
it did an honest and upright ollicor
would enforce the law regardless of his
private opinions.
It cannot be possible that any man or
set of men would keep this matter a
burning issue for tlie purpose of ridihg
into office, when the offico has no juris
diction for or against the sale. If a
man's only quaiifica’iou for office con
sist solely in the fact that be is a pro
hibitionist or an anti-probibitionist,
then nothing short of Divine Provi
dence can save us from u weak anil pur
ring administration.
Many good and honest men repre
sent either side of this question, and
some would doubtless use one sido or
tho other for selfish purposes. This
latter is what we would obviate, and we
sredict that the man who sots hires. If
np with tho liquor question a-< tho lead
ing issue in bis campaign will meet a
enow drift at the hands of Americus
voters. The people are tired and
would have a change, which would rc-
donnd to tho upbuilding and prosper
ity of tho city.
Aa tho time of the election draws
near Air, Bryan's strength is steadily
. : and the Republican news
paper are not blind to the fact, although
they ore trying to disguise tbeir dis
comfiture by whistling hopeful tunes.
The present decline in tho cotton
market has brought out an interesting
feature to the trado in Georgia, and one
that B ill bo of interest to the cotton
trade and to planters throughout the
South. It is the ability of planters to
bold their cotton in tho face of a de
clining market. The test is regarded as
a thorough one by the ttade here, duo
to the fact that couditions were such
South. It is the ability of planters to
bear on planters in rushing their cot
ton upon the open market were they
not well entrench behind sufficient
funds to carry it.
The present com"*' n of the money
market, caused largely I iTtluTdec -easo
in the reserve of the associated banks
of New York, produced a lightening
tendency which it is believed would
have been indirectly felt by the holders
of cotton in the South who have bad
advances made agai”st their holdings.
Rut instead of producing an effect of
this kind the opposite seems to bo tho
case. It ib said on good authority that
local banks hold considerable funds
which wore obtained with a view to
supplying interior or country banks

THE GREATEST OF SPECIALISTS
OFFERS TO THE SUFFERING
HIS SERVICES AND
REMEDIES.
For more than twenty-five years Dr. J. New
ton Hathaway lias mado a specialty of Female
case additional accommodations wore
wanted to supply planters. According
to the statement of a leading banker
these funds bare not been called for,
which seems to indicate that the farm
era aro in comfortable condition, and
do not find it necessary to call upon
the country banks.
With the posting of lowor prices for
spot cotton business in this market,
which had been progressing actively
previous to the present decline, was
brought to an abrupt standstill. For
instance, tho salos last Friday were
none, and on Saturday sixteen bales.
Export and spinners’ 4 ogents were in
different about taking cotton, though
they were bidding a fraction below
what they believed would be accepted,
On the other hand holders were stub
born, as ovidenced by the firmness with
which factors held the cotton in their
hands, and the few offerings which
found their way to f. o. b. brokers,
The lattor do the lion’s share of the
local business,and represent holders of
cotton in Georgia, Alabama, Florida,
Mississippi and a few in the Carolinas.
The fact that their business has come
to a practical standstill as compared
with its large proportions a few day
ago indicates pretty strongly that the
actual “.tuff" is not to be had until
speculators settle their differences and
tho market returns to its former or
higher basis.
The question of the ability of holders
to stand tho fire upon them by the
shutting down of mills at home and
abroad, the hammering of foreign and
local markets, big crop statements and
other influences in bringing about
decline, is the most prominent beforo
the cotton trade at present. How it
will end no one can tell, but the man
ner in which holders have stood their
ground so far is an oneonraging fea
ture to the advocates of higher prices,
Consumers have stopped the fiddling
and they will therefore stop selling cot
ton. It is a question of which is the
greatest looser, the manufactures with
their mills closed, or the cotton planter
paying interest on the funds to carry
hi9 holdings. It mast bo admitted
however, that many plauters are in
good fiuanciul condition, and hence en
abled to protect themselves without
ca'liug for outsido accommodations.
The big sales so far havo greatly re
lieved the pressure on borrowers, and
will prol il ly tide them over to the re
action; uuless the present decline turns
out to be an unprecedented one.—Sav
