UFCEIPTS THE LARGEST
EVER IN AMERICUS
All Records Were Broken
Saturday.
Eleven hundred and twenty-five
bales cotton made up the receplts at
Amerlcus warehouses yesterday,
smashing all records of a day in wag
on receipts. Oftlmes In years past the
thousand bale mark has been reach
ed and exceeded—thrice this season
already—but never before In the his
tory of the cotton trade here have
wagon receipts touched yesterday’s
figures—1X25 bales. ~ It was the ban
ner day of the season—of many sea
sons—and brought prosperity and
business to Amerlcus merchants. Al
ready nearly 18,000 wagon bales have
been received at Amerlcus ware
houses, a fair crop In Itself, and other
thousands are yet to come. Yesterday
was a banner day in business circles
and merchants reaped a golden har
vest with hundreds of cotton bales
selling at 11 1-4 cents and the money
spent here by thousands of busy buy
ers.
Deafness Cannot Be Cared
by local applications, as thoy cannot
reach the diseased portion of the
car. There Is only ono way to cure
deafness, and (hat is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness Is caused by an
Inflamed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is Inflamed you have
rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing, and when it is entirely closed,
deafness Is the result, and unless the
inflammation can be taken out and
this tube restored to its normal con
dition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases out of ten are caus
ed by Catarrh, which is nothing but
an Inflamed condition of the mucous
surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by
Hall’s Catarrh Core. Send for cir

PITTSBURG,, PA., Oct. 19.—(Spec
ial)—The llttie town of Wilson, on
the Monongahela river, about 20
miles above this city, was almost de
populated a few days ago, as a re
sult of an attack In true Western
fashion made on the town by several
hundred Italians. The Italians, all
of them Intoxicated, literally ‘‘shot
up” the town until the 1,500 Inhabit
ants fled in terror.
There was an Italian birthday par
ty the night before which was attend
ed by all the Italians in the neigh
borhood. Large quanties of bad
whiskey were served. Each of the
Italians was armed, and, smarting
under the threats that have been
made against the Italian colony on
account of the Black hand outrages,
the foreigners started out for
venge.

WASHINGTON, D. C.. October 18.
—(Special)—Senator 1. B. Frazier,
characterizes as entirely unwarrant
ed in fact the statement that Presi
dent Roosevelt would break the solid
South should he consent to be
candidate for a third term. He
said:
“President Roosevelt as opposed to
Mr. Bryan would not, in my opinion,
get os many votes In the South as
he did In 1904, and I know he would
not carry the State of Missouri, which
voted for him In the last Presidential
election. Maryland Is of course doubt
ful for either party ,and I would not
attempt to say what the result would
be there.
Speaking of the recent visit of the
President to the South, Senator Fra
zier said:
‘This generous reception should
not be misunderstood. The people
of my State are cordial in their na
ture and would give a warm welcome
to any President, who was not per
sonally obnoxious to them, but the fact
that we gave President Roosevelt a
hearty welcome is not to be taken as
an indication that Tennessee or any
other Southern State would cast its
vote for him. Secretary Taft is
popular in Tennessee, to which he
used to come when a judge, but the
State would not be for him or any
other Republican In a Presidential
contest”

MONTGOMERY, ALA., October 18.
—(Special)—Gov. Comer stated clear
ly, In an address before the Alabama
W. C. T. U. last night that he will
see that prohibition laws are enforced
ln that state. He declared that he
would call the legislature together
necessary to provide sufficient laws
for enforcement.
It has been said that prohibition
will not prohibit, that if prohibition
made a law that there will be
more blind tigers In this State than
ever before,” said Governor Comer.
“If the present laws are not suffi
cient to meet such an emergency,
and it the people who ore required
to enforce the laws and see to it that
they are not violated, believe that
they have not sufficient power to cope
with any such situation. I, as Gov
ernor of the State, will call the Leg
islature together os often as it is
necessary to see to it that the laws
of the State aro upheld.”
