NUMBER 17-
You May Not Think Of It,
But it Does
make a big difference to you who makes the clothes you
wear; especially if the maker is willing to tell you what
he makes them of; and how.
That’s one thing we like about'Hart Schaffner &
Marx clothes; they are made of strictly all-wool fabrics
and the makers seem to want everybody to know it
They advertise the fact extensively; it’s the most impor
tant fact about any clothes.
They are plenty of good looking clothes for sale that
are not all-wool, the makers don’t claim that they are;
they don’t say much about it
We like to sell clothes that our customers can be
positive about; goods that you don’t have to take any
body’s word for; clothes you know are good. It’s easy
to sell such clothes; and the’re a satisfaction to
everybody.
It isn’t simply that we sell Hart Schaffn&r & Marx
clothes that you find it worth while to buy your things
here.
Business Men Form Company and Today Will Open Cotton Exchange With]
Wires to All the Leading Centres.
The effect of the telegraphers’ strike
was broken In Americus yesterday
when a number of the warehousemen
and coton factors organized a com
pany with the view of establishing a
cotton exchange through which med
ium the market is available.
This movement was suggested by
the Times-Recorder on Tuesday, ard
the exchange will be open and ready
for business today.
And thus communication with the
world is again established.
The meeting of business men was
held In the cotton office of C. J. White,
with Crawford Wheatley as tempor
ary chairman and C. M. Conric tem
porary secretary.
Among those present were Messrs.
U. B. Harroid, L. O. Council, Qeorge
Oliver, E. C. Parker, the Chambliss
Co., Georgia Cotton Co., J. B. Holst
Co’s agency, F. B. Arthur, Bunting &
Co., J. K. Livingston Co., McFadden
& Co., C. J. White, D. M. Borum.
A committee of three was appointed
by Chalrihan Wheatley to get a copy
of by-laws, this committee consisting
of Messrs. W. Hi Slaton, E. C. Parker
and C. J. White.
Upon motion, the members pres
ent became responsible for the ex
penses of the organization until per
mancnt organization is effected.
"Be It further enacted. That this
act shall not be so construed as to
prevent or render unlawful the post
ing or publishing of market quota
tions or prices of ccmmdditles, stocks,
bonds and securities by any regularly
organized commercial Exchange
bona fide trade organization in which
no purchase or sale for future de
livery or margin is permitted.”
From this it will be seen that the
proposed exchange in nowise con
flicts with the provisions of the Boy
kin "bucket-shop” bill.
Americus to Get Markets.
Purpose of the Company.
The .Exchange is organized under
the provision of Section 8 of the Boy
kin Act which section is as follows:
Thus organized, the company will
immediately proceed to open in Am
ericus an exchange where the market
roiiorts of to*ton, grain, stocks and
other commodities will be posted ev
ery few minutes. In fact, the ex
change will be opened today.
Already a leased wire runs from
New York to New Orleans, via Am
ericus, and it is only necessary to
"cut it in” here. This will be done
before noon today.
An expert operator has been secur
ed and is expected to report for ilutv
this rooming. Thus equipped, tile
office will handle all market reports
and Ainer i.iib, comme-clally, is ren
dered Independent of the telegraph
ers’ strike. .
The cotton business here haa been
jeopardized since the season opened,
hut tellef is found in the plans just
adopted.

Americus cotton buyers readily paid
13 3-8 cents—almost 13 1-2—for the
liner grades yesterday, and were very
glad to get the best cotton, even.at
that top-notch price. Any good
grade brought 13 cents, while 13 1-4
was about the average price paid in
this market during the day.
Prices are still on the rise and the
bears are on the run.
Hot weather and drouth combine
put up prices, and the more enthu
siastic among the local trade can read-
see 15c ahead without the use of
spectacles.
Cotton rolled freely Into Americus
warehouses yesterday, despite the
fact that farmers generally are bend
ing every energy to get It picked out
this week. Friday and Saturday will
see a rush of the bales in this direc
tion. Farmers here are readily ac
cepting current high prices. Thir
teen cents looked good to them last
week, and now that $2.50 has been
added to the selling price of each
bale they are letting the fleecy go.
The Tlmes-Recorder’s estimate of
1,500 bales marketed here’this week
must pjAV extravagant prices to se
cure their cotton. Official advices
from Texas are rather meager owing
to interrupted communication, but
private reports are discouraging. The
light rains have produced shedding
and have probably done as much harm
as good.
Crop Short in Texas.
HAMLTOMCO
A Texan in Americus yesterday,
talking with a number of cotton men
said the cotton situation in his state
was far from good. Drouth is ruin
ing .the crop and, to use his own
expression "the fields are ready to
blaze.”

they told him the same story

Spot cotton in Texas is commanding
very high prices, apd this is hccount-
ed a bull argument of no mean pro
portion.
But the bears point out that this
indication is misleading as the de
mand comes from exporters who have
sold wheat for August shipments and
of two weeks ago, and the
shed forms rapidly. Rain here
needed very much.
This would retard picking, it
true, but it would save the life i
vitality of the plant
