MAGNIFICENT
DEPARTML 'T
Just Opened,
It is with pleasure that we announce the removal of]
our Ladies Ready-to-Wear department to the first floor]
of our store. For years this has been one of the largest]
and most successful ladies departments in all south Geor

to go to the second floor on which we conducted it to
see the stock, hence we have just equipped the most
magnificent department in this entire portion of the state
on the first floor which is delightfully arranged in every
particular for the comfort of ladies and then we have
supplied it with the most immense stock and finest ladies
tailor-made suits, skirts, petticoats, raincoats, children's
wraps of all kinds, and everything else that is necessary!)
for the conduct of alfirst class department and we most
cordailly invite the patronage of every one assuring yoq
that in doing your trading with us you will not only
find the largest and best stock from which to make your
selections but the lowest prices to be had in Georgia.
A large corps of competent and polite salespeople
will take pleasure in giving you every attention.

All Records Are Broken at the Opening of the Term
on Monday.
The Amerlcus schools opened yes
terday for the fall season with the
largest attendanse ever known
opening day, exceeding nine hundred
pupils. These filled up Furlow and
Rees Park schools, with ample room
at the-colored school.
Supt. Miller says the attendance
was even greater than expected.
The enrollment of pupils In the
white Bchools Is 652 already, while
only 250 colored pupils have entered
at McKay school yet.
This rather small attendance at,
McKay Hill school Is accounted for
In the fact that many former pupils
are now working In the country.
These will enter the school later, as
they do always ,and the total num
ber there will exceed 700.
At Furlow School the scene pres
ented was highly Interesting.
Six hundred and two school child'
ren filled the old building to Its cap
acity, and beyond, while 48 others,
who are registered, did not attend
yesterday. None were turned away,
although Supt Miller doesn't know
where he will put them.
Many pupils still out of the city
will return shortly and within
month the enrollment of pupils In
the white schools will reach eight
hundred, and possibly more.
Further additions to this building
cannot well be made, and Amerlcus
Is confronted with the absolute nec
essity of providing 1 other and larger
buildings In order to take care of the
rap|dly Increasing number of pupils
attending the schools.
No lessonB were said yesterday, but
today tho "young Ideas" will be
taugh to shoot in the usual good old
way.
Drastic Dose of Decline Given King Cotton Puts Mon
arch On His Feet..
Amerlcus cotton buyers went after,
the fleecy staple agali% yesterday and l
with more vim and vigor than at'
any tlme-wlthin tho past week of
declining prices. The end of the re
cent slump seemed to have been reach-
ed and they wanted the goods. Prices
ruled nearly a half cent higher than'
on the da}' before, when eleven cento
was the sky parlor limit. Good cot-'
ton readily brought 11% to 11% cents I
In the Amerlcus market yesterday, and
the demand kept the market very
steady. Receipts at the warehouses
this week have been very light, evi
dencing the pul-poso of farmers not
to market cotton at starvation prices,
and this fact has aided materially In
putting up values. The situation rests
entirely with the farmers, and If they
will simply refuse to toss their bales
to. the rapacious sharks and blackleg
gamblers at the latter'* prices they
will gfet full value In due time.
