Georgia Anti-Saloon League Meets in Atlanta in De
cember.
ATLANTA. Sept. 27.—(Special.) —
The state convention of the Anti-
Saloon League will be held in this
city in December. It Is the belief
that it will be one of the most not
able gatherings ever held in Geor
gia of temperance workers, and that
’ steps will be taken then looking tow
ard the rigid enforcement of the ex-
■ isting state prohibition law.
The most active workers in the
League are in favor of the organiza
tion taking steps in every county to
, assist in the detection of blind ti
gers and the punishment of all viola
tors of the law.
It is not unlikely that steps will
be taken to that end at the state con-1
vention. I
It is also regarded as probable
that steps will then be also taken
looking to the creation of a senti
ment that will preclude any possi
bility of failure to place a $10,000
license on locker clubs, and other
wise strengthen in every possible way
the law now on the statute books,
at the next session of the legislature.
There Is apparently to be no cessa
tion of the labors of the League, be
cause of the victory gained at the
last session of the legislature, but a
determination rather shown by the
leaders of the movement to continue
to arouse and solidify public senti
ment against the liquor traffic in ev
ery possible way, and to keep the
pressure on public officialls so strong
that there will be no possibility of a
lax enforcement of its provisions.

gardless of name or price. Each
Hydegrade Lining is the best of Its
kind that can be woven. They |>os-

surpass them In wear. Elegant in
weave: unique In their characteristic
beauty.

Americus will have ten thousand
five hundred bales of September cot
ton to her credit when the month
closes tomorrow night, which Is con
sidered excellent when the late sea
son and late crop movement Is taken
into account. Up to Inst night the
warehouse receipts here totaled 10,-
095 bales, while Monday's receipts
will put the total well beyond the
10,500 mark. All of this cotton was
received at the Americus warehouses
by wagon from Sumter and surround
ing counties since the season opened,
and does not include a bale of "rail
road cotton” bales shipped to the com
press here. The warehouse and
compress receipts are kept' entirely
sparate throughout the season. The
compress has received several thous
and bales direct from outside points,
possibly 3,000 to 5,000 already.. The
10,095 bales wagon cotton were hand
led and sold here and the money put
Into circulation in Americus. Esti
mated at 12 cents as an average price
(many hundred bales having been
sold at 13 to 13 1-2 cents,) the 10,095
bales handled here to date brings
$605,700 to the farmers of this sec
tion. The crop here is not yet half
in, and this princely amount will be
more than doubled iro long.
JACK STATONJOR SENATE
Will Be Opposed By W. W. McCord an Atlanta Mer.
chant and Prohibitionist.
The removal of this department to the first floor has called forth from
the pubdlc more compliments than any change we have ever made since w e
have been In business. The stock Is receiving also the highest words of
praise from all those who have seen it We are not boasting when we tell
you that we have the greatest gem of a department in this ladies ready-to-
wear garments. The most select as well as the largest stock, the best
styles, and last, hut by no means least THE LOWEST PRICES TO BE HAD
ANYWHERE in Georgia for the class of merchandise we show you. Noth
ing but the best tailored and best fitting merchandise shown by us. x 0

Don’t wait until every lady in town wants her suit but come right along
now. This “fallish" weather warns you that It is time to begin to get ready
for the cool days that are sure to be with us very shortly. Then again in the
event you should select a garment requiring alteration it can be done im
mediately without keeping you waiting but a short while and you knon-
there is so much pleasure derived from being able to go to wearing your
suit justas soon as It is bought. Then there is nothing like having It ready
to Jump Into when you do need It.

ATLANTA. Sept. 28.—(Special.) —
Jack Slaton, present speaker of the
House and already an avowed candi
date for the State Senate from this
county at the next election, is not go
ing to have all the ple-dlspensed at
the Atlanta counter. In the next el
ection he will be opposed by H. W.
, McCord, a prominent merchant of
I 1 Atlanta and well known prohibition
leader, and already the Impression
prevails that he will be an easy win
ner. Mr. McCord took a very promi
nent part In the prohibition battle
| waged before the legislature, and Is
1 a strong man personally.
TRACTION ENGINE
SUPPLANTS MULES
Exhibilion Here of Inlerest to
Farmers.
From 15c to 40c the Yard.
Of the hundreds of everyday uses
to which Hydegrade Linings may be
put, a few are here given: For nil
garment linings, petticoats, drop
Bklrts, underbodies, kimonas, dress
ing sacques, dust coats, quilts, paja
mas, head rests, baby dresses, com
fortables, draperies, foundations un
der lace bed spreads, pillow shams,
center pieces, etc.
As the electric car freed from bon
dage the horse, so Is the traction en
gine emancipating from drudgery
the plantation mule. Out on the plan
tation of Mr. N. A. Ray near Ameri
cus there was given Friday a prac
tical and successful demonstration of
the working of one of the valuable
machines, which Is capable of doing
so much work on a farm. This
glne, a Case, pulled twelve disc plows
with greatest ease and under the
guidance of two men, thus doing the
work of twenty-four mules and twelve
laborers. The plows cut a width of
ten feet, and with this number the
engine can easily plow twenty-five
acres per day. Mr. Ray was well
pleased with the trial made of the
engine, and late In October, after cut-
ins the hay from a large field In hia
farm, he will plow it with the traction
engine and Invite the farmers out to
see It. Already n number of the rep-
rcpresentatlve farmers of Sumter
hav expressed a determination of
purchasing one of these labor-saving
machines.
MONUMENT IN

Mississippi to Honor The
Confederates.
Old
MERIDIAN, MISS., Sept. 26.—
(Special)—An enthusiastic welcome
was accorded the hundreds of Con
federate veterans and their sons and
daughters who arrived today for the
annual Mississippi state reunion, to
be held during the balance of the
week. The erection of monuments
to the Confederate dead In the var
ious counties of the state is one of
the principal matters to be consid
ered, and action will probably be
taken to qut the plan Into effect. A
law was passed by the last legislature
allowing boards of supervisors to
make donations to such monument
funds, nnd It Is likely that before
many years every county In Mississ
ippi will have a handsome Confeder
ate memorial.

Is supposed to be at its best Several
wagon loads of melons brought In

crop will continue for perhaps ten

said he planted these vines late In
June, nnd the melons now growing
are of excellent quality.
