TWENTY-NINTH year AMERICUS, GEORGIA, FRIDAY MORNING AUGUST 30, 1907, 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. .

JAMES FRICKER & BRO., 409 JACKSON ST. JeWelefS. PHONE 208. 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.” Mr. Charles L. Ansley, who they told him the same story crops suffering from drouth. there will be a fair crop. Some Suffering in Sumter. alone will be verified. High Price In The West. our own. vine and figtree, there 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 A W. Smith, Pres. iG. M. Eldrldge, V.P."55 N. M. Dudley, Cashier.
