Safetg and Satisfaction.

SAFETY in money is one of the most e: entirl
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.

Geo. D. WHEATLEY,
Corner Lamar Street and Cotton Avenue,
The cotton market got out of tbe
well worn rats yesterday and surprised
the cotton fraternity and general pub
lic by au advance of nearly twenty
points over the opening figures, and
finally closed steady at a net gain of
about fifteen points.
It was tho strongest market since
the recent heavy slump began.
January opened at 8.67 and a flood of
buying orders sent quotations to 9.13
in a very short while. The market
went even higher but closed very
steady at 9 12.
While it is always the anexpeoted
that happens, local cotton men express
the opinion that the “freezeont” is at
an end, and that tbe fear of a real
freeze, or rather froet, in the cotton
belt will tend to keep prices np above
the 9 cent fignre.
Some think prices will go higher
this week despite the uneasiness that
might be occasioned by tbe pending
eleetion,
That there is going to be a heavy de
mantl for cotton, and that very eoon,
no one doubts. The mills have not
bought their supplies of cotton yet.
owing to the high prioes that prevailed
until two weeks ago, and many of them
are still holding off.
They are really jnst bnying enough
now to keep rnnning,
A gentleman who has studied the
situation carefully said last night:
“The time is coming soon when the
mills will realize that they mnst buy.
They mnst have the cotton. When
they start to buy they will start with a
rnsh, and cotton will go to ten and a
half cents right along.
"The wise mill manager will buy all
the cotton be can get at present prices.
The time is coming when he can’t get
it at sno hprice, in my opinion.”

OUR ELEGANT NEW ^ ^
ja STOCK OF
Fall and Winter
Goods are now arriving, and never before have we
had such a beautiful line, especially suited for Wed
ding, Birthday and Anniversary gifts, as well as
ail the staple articles to be found in an up-tc date
Jewelry store.
James Fricker & Bro,
Charles Perry is to be hanged for the
mnrder of Prof. Ray Wilson White,
which brutal crime was committed in
Philadelphia in May.
After two days trial the jury return
ed a verdict of guilty of mnrder in the
first degree, and this, of course, means
the death sentence. Jnstice in this
case was certainly swift and sure.
The date of Perry’s execution is not
known nere yet but will scarcely be
long delayed. All three connected
with the mnrder will probably go to
their death in a bnneb.
It will be a sad ending for Perry,
who is au Americas negro.
The news as received here yesterday
created little surprise among those
who had kept up with the trial of Perry,
Ivory and Sterling, the three negroes
charged with the mnrder of Prof. Ray
White, a Philadelphia lawyer, who was
brutally killed on May 19th last.
Ivory, who with Perry had made a
partial confession, was first tried end
convicted of mnrder. Perry's case was
next to bo taken np.
This has jnst been conelnded and he
stands convicted, like Ivory.
Henry Sterling, the third accomplice,
is now on trial. Hiscasowill probably
be finished tomorrow, and if gnilty, as
is most probable, the three will likely
be sentenced to die on the scaflold to
gether.
Charles Perry, six months ago, stood
well os a trusted colored citizen of
Americus, but falling in with a gang
here be was soon connected with 0 dar
ing and successful burglary. His
downfall was a surprise to many here
who had long known the negro.
His honso was a “fence” for stolen
plunder, and goods to the value of sev
eral hundred dollars were fonnd there
by the police.
Perry, in the meanwhile, had es
caped, and his presence in Philadel
phia was not known nntil tbe mnrder
of Prof. White was committed and
Perry connected therewith.
Chief of Police Wheeler afterwards
wont to see Perry in Moyamensing
prison, and seenred information re
garding the bnrglary here with which
the negro was connected. His broth
er, Jim Perry, also made a trip to Phil
adelphia to see the nntortuuate.
But it will, probably, all be over
with Perry very shortly now.
.JEWELERS.
REACHES THE TOPMOST POINT.
Attendance in Public Schools The
Highest.
With the close of Oetobor yesterday
the attendance in the white sebools of
Americus reached the highest point in
twenty years or since the establishment
oi the public school system here. Supt.
Mathis reports the total enrollment of
white pupils as 009, which is 75 more
than at this date a yoar ago and tbe
highest on record. In tho colored
schools the attendance is 550, which is
150 less than at this date last year.
These absentees, however, are ac
counted for and all will be back In tbe
school room before the end of another
month. This gives the schools, at
present, a total enrollment of nearly
1.200 pupils.
