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.

Elegant in weave: unique In their characteristic beauty. 1 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.

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 EACH COUNTY 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. $4.50 to $15.
