Thirty thousand, tlireo hundred and fifty bales cotton already. That is tho exact nmnber received and weighed ip Americus warehouses np to last night. Four thousand bales more than last season’s entire receipts. And pel haps another thousand or two bales to he brought in ere the oar- rent season oloses. Thus beating last season,s receipts perhaps 5,000 bales. A pretty good record for Amerions; better bneines-; more prosperity, don’t yon think? The above figures are the actual count of cotton np to date. It was given tbe Times-Recorder yesterday by the sealesmen at the six warehouses hare. Last season's entire receipts boro were about 20,500 bales. And now, by January 1st, with the season not nearly ended yet, we have a total of 50,950 bales. More ootton mi nus still more busi ness for the merchants; more prosperi ty for tho oity at largo. The Tlmes-Reoorder is glad to make such a fine showiug for Americns as a cotton market. And it hopes onr warehousemen will get 40,000 bales next season. HAS BILLYGOAT FOR PRESENT.

BALES RECEIVED. Receipts In Americus Will Exceed That Number. WHILE THE PRICE IS GOING UP. Several Largo Lots Hold On Planta tions and Sont In Recently Puts Americus Ovor tho Thirty Thousand Line—More to Como. A PYRAMID OF LONG FORAGE. 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. OCCASION OP GREAT INTEREST.
