Safety and Satisfaction.
S AFETY in money is one of the most essential
features of modern merchandiising.
This store’s constant aim is to surround its pat
rons with a bulwark of safety.
There is the safety of reliable, carefully bought
goods. The safety of absolute price fairness. The
safety of the "ONE PRICE TO ALL" system which
places the buying public on a level of commercial
equality in their trading. Then there is the safety
of money refunded without a murmur.
With all these safeguards to right money spend
ing satisfaction is sure to follow.

Contract Cotton Lost Heavily on
Yesterday.
The cotton market continned yester
day its seemingly endless hunt for the
bottom, if there is such a thing as the
bottom to it.
Instead of improving a bit, as tbose
who don’t know a thing about the mar
ket predicted, it again spread its
wings and sailed merrily down the
i tlame towards ebaos.
Then everybody declared that was
jnst what thev really expected.
lint ten to one their money wns bet
the other way, if they bad any left from
the recent landside. It is generally on
the wrong side.
After the phenomenal break of 118
points, from 10.18 to !) 00, it was hoped
yesterday that the old "king” wonld
sober np a bit and climb back upon his
high pedestal.
Vain hope; in fact, no hope.
Instead of doing better the contract
market once more hit the creased track
and started towards the mudsills of ob
livion faster than a candidate can make
promises.
January showed the black record of
twenty-six points lost in a day.
From 0.04, the closing figures of the
day before, it tumbled yesterday to
8.78, the lowest point reaohed in more
than two months.
This disheartened the local trade and
the market was featureless the balance
of the day. Some cotton sold aronnd
81 cents, the bestpriee now offered,
The big break yesterday was attrib
nted to the "estimate" of a Texas
paper, placing the crop of that state at
3,100,000 bales.

DON’T COUGH
Stop it with Scott’s emulsion

A little coughing is nothing
—the tickling, that makes you
cough once, is some dust; not
the least harm. You scratch
an itch, and forget it. This
cough is scratching an itch.

BROKEN ROD CAUSED TROUBLE.
Accident on Seaboard Line Sunday
Night.
Passenger tram No. 17, Americas to
Montgomery, met with an accident
Sunday night, caused by the breaking
of a driving rod. Engineer John
Qoolsby was in oharge of engine No,
118, and was knooked from biu seat
when the heavy steel rod crushed the
cab like an egg shell. Fortunately he
was cot struck squarely, and escaped
with a scalded hand. His eolored fire
man, Charlie Branham, of Americas,
leaped from the engino and received
serious injuries. Oae leg was broken
in two places, an arm broken, and bis
sknil hurt as well. The engine was
diabled, of course, and a freight en
gine carried the train on to Montgom
ery. Engineer Ooolaby had a very
close call.
He Fooled the Surgeons.
All doctors told Renick Hamilton of
'Vest JellersoD, O., after suffering IS
months from Rectal Fistula, he would
die uulass a costly operation was per
formed; bnt he cured himself with live
boxes of Bucklea’s Arnica Salve, tbo
surest pile cure on eartn, and the best
Salve in the world. Sold by E. J. El
dridge, druggist.

And Fertilizer Plant Will Soon Be
Operated
The first large shipment of acid
phosphate, to bo used in the maufac
ture of fertilizers at the Americas plant
of the Virginia-Carolina Chemical Co.
has just been received, and Superin
tendent Roy McKenzie is busy un
loading it and getting the plant in
readiness to begin operations. It will
run on full time this wiuter after a
start is once made. Until the acid
chambers, burned last year, are rebuilt,
it is necessary to ship acid here from
other points for manufacture of com-
merc'al fertilizers.
Slowly The Cotton Market Sinks.
Point By Point.
The "fully expected" happened yes
terday morning when the price of con
tract cotton dropped under the nine
cent notch after the very vigorous ham
mering given it recently.
It was the lowest point reached since
early in September, or nearly two
months, after having held np well dar
ing the season.
Bear hammering and enormous port
receipts did the work well.
Tbo foreign cables brought news
early of a slump beyond the pond, and
Now York followed the lead though not
nearly to the extent expected upon the
opening.
But early in the day the several fa
vorite positions eased down point by
point, Janaary falling to 8.1)2 bnt ral
lying slightly at the close.
In the meanwhile port receipts con
tinue to pile np sb high as ever; there
is little expectation of an early frost,
and the belief here is that prices will
go lower still.
Bat it will be temporary only, as the
turning point must oome soon.
If receipts at Americas warehouse
indicated anything that time would be
fast coming. Only 119 bales were
marketed yesterday and bnt few of
these were sold.
The price, locally, has dropped to
8j cents for the best cotton.
The stock hero unsold is not largo—
possibly 3,000 or 3,500 bales—and farm
ers appear determined to swing on a
while longer.
They, like others, realize that con
ditions do not warrant snob a slump in
prices. They know the general crop
is short and that values will eventual
ly go much higher.
And they will possess their souls in
patience while the squeeze continues.
ARCTIC ARTISTS AS MUSICIANS.
Seals and Sea Lions That Perform
Oreat Feats.
The double menageries of the Adam
Forepangh and Sells Brothers' aggre
gation of America’s greatest shows,
whioh will exhibit at Americas on Sat
urday, Oct 27tb, contain a rare and
valnable collection of wild beasts and
amphibia, many of which ore shown in
remarkable and singularly amusing
performances. Among the wild and
timid creatures is Captain Woodward’s
school of educated seals and sea lions.
Tbesehnge ocean lions and gentle-eyed
seals are endowed with a docility and
intelligence which training has de
veloped to such a degree that they ac
complish many feats seemingly impos
sible. With naught save Dippers to
supply tne places of legs and arms,
they are most wondrous and laughable
soldiers, musicians, mimics and mer
ry-makers of the natural kingdom.
Everybody admires and applauds
them, and the children just go wild
over them, and no wonder.

HORSE INVADES THE PREMISES

Consternation was created vesterday
in a Cotton avenue place where “mild”

walked in at the open back door and

thought it might be the spirit of the
old regime returning, bnt before the
habiteurs of the place recovered from
their astonlshmont the horse, evi

leisurely through the store and ont ot
