perhaps 5,000 bales.
A pretty good record for Amerions;

The above figures are the actual
count of cotton np to date.
It was given tbe Times-Recorder

Sumtor County Farmer Made Lucky
Stroko. ’
A short corn crop next year would
hnrt BrownlC. Hodge* as little]** any
farmer in southwest Georgia, for be ie
a seller of provender, rather than e
buyer. Mr. Hodges is a believer in
bay—home raised bay—and on bt*
fine farm near Americas tbe big barns
are packed with hundreds of tons of
fine bay and shredded corn, neatly
baled. Yesterday he sent to W. H.
Glover .k Son a “sample lot" of per
haps a hnndre.l bales shredded eorn,
with the request that they “sell four
or five carloads of it for him.” Think
of a Sumter eonnty farmer selling five
carloads of stock feed—ten carloads if
be desires—jn one lot. Bat Mr.
Hodges ean do it, and in this fact lice,
to e large extent, the seoret of bia ane-
oesi aud prosperity in farming.
Americns’ warehouse receipts went
over tbe thirty thousand bale mark
yesterday, and indications are [that
this goodly number of bales will be
considerably augmented ere ait the
remnants on plantations ere brought
to mnrkot and sold. ?
Yesterday'* warehouse reoeipta were
surprisingly good.
Soveral large lots, ranging from 20
to 150 bales and held on plantations
for some time, were hauled in and
sold, benee the site of tbe reoeipta for
tbe day.
Hon. H. H. Singletary, of Schley,
fane jnet marketed 160 bales here,
while Mr, Sot. J. Harrell, of Webster,
sent in 75 bales reoently. These, how
ever, are ebont the only large lots re
maining on plantations thereabout, 'so
tbe Times-lUeorderfis advised.
■Several farmers, perhaps, are bolding
smaller lots of five, ten or even a dozen
bales, which will ?eome in daring tbe
next month.
Bnt already, es stated, Americas
het reoeived 90,000 bales by wagoD,
and this in itself would be good enongb
as a grand total at the end of the sea
son. Of tbe entire orop, however,'the
warehonses here may get ae] much as
39,000 bale*, or even more.
This would give ns e big lead over
last season’s receipts, which were
abont 20,500 total.
Besides tbe reoeipta herein mention
ed, the Atlantic Compress Oo, bas pro-
bab’y reoeived 20,000 or 20,000 bales
dirce*, and these added to the wagon
reoeipta at the warehouse* will give
Americns, even *t this date, a grand
total of 55,000 or 00 000 bales.
Price* yesterday were again on the
np-grede. January olosed firm nt 8,00,
and while 8J was tbe top price paid in
Amerions for the grade* of ootton offer
ed, folly good middling will easily
bring 8J cents here.
