This Is good news to thousands of
women who have learned by patron
izing these Sales from year to year
that they can get the best umjfrmus
line full fashioned and well made
much under regular prices.
This Is a splendid chance for sup
plying yourself for the Spring and
Summer Season. Every garment in
this'sale is made in our usual fault
less way.
Mall Order customers, are Invited to
take advantage of this Sale. Your
orders will have qul^k and intelligent
attention.
While no action has been taken by
the local Board of Trade on the ques
tion of a parcels post, the , matter
is being agitated among merchants
in other Georgia towns, whei'e the
sentiment is generally against the
passage of such a law.
4t-ls claimed by the opponents
the parcels post—which by the way
is a pet of Postmaster General Mey
er—that it will work a hardship on
local merchants, and will give littlo
if any actual advantage to residents
along rural routes. It is reported that
Speaker Cannon has expressed him,
self as unfavorable to the passage of
such a law at the present session.
The reason for his objection
doubt is that the Republicans don’t
want too load up with any surplus
measures for which they may be
criticised during the Presidential
campaign.
In speaking of the work being done
against the proposed law in Colum
bus, the Ledger says:
'When asked about the matter this
morning. President Loewenherz, of
the Board of Trade, stated that the
Georgia association of merchants had
sent an agent here several months
ago to bring the matter before the
board but no positive action had been
taken and he did not know what
the body would do.
“Speaking for himself he was op
posed to the law because it would
only help what is known as the cat
alogue stores, and would put the gov
ernment pn the same footing as a
common carrier and come In compe
tition with the express and railroad
companies. He did not believe it
would benefit the mass of the peo
ple, but would be a great thing ,for
the big houses In the north and west
which send out catalougues every
year.’

THE QUOTATIONS
IN AMERICUS
Cotton Market as Reported Daily
by L. G. Council.
Profit taking by bears in the cot
ton market Tuesday Improved prlc-
es in tbe latter part of the session,
as compared with the opening. At
first prices followed the decline in
• the English market, the opening on
this side of the water being 1 to
points lower for the active positions,
Liverpool moved up in the late trad
ing and the American markets did
the same, the close being generally
1 to 3 points lower. December was
unchanged at New York and 4 points
lower at New Orleans. Receipts at
ports were rather heavy.
Little change la expected until
after the first of the year, when It la
believed by many that prices will ad
vance on the statistical position of
the staple.
New York opened 1 to 4 points
-fower, except that December was 2
points up. The market fluctuated in
narrow limits, trading being small.
The close was unchanged for May
and December nnd 1 to 2 points net
lower for other positions. Spot prices
were .unchanged. New Orleans open
ed 4 to 7 points off, but made a slight
recovery during the session. The
close was easy, 1 to 4 points lower,
as compared with Friday's final. Spot
quotatlonfo were unchanged.
Liverpool opened easy, 114 to 4
points'down and closed steady, un
changed* to- 1 point lower'. Spot’
prices were reduced 10 points with
’the very small sales of 3,000 bales.
Considerable cotton was offering in
the Anie'rlcus market, nearly ' all
low grades.
The tales were about 200 bales and
were on the basis of the day before,
from 814 to 1014 cents. Somo of tho
cotton offered was so poor as to be
rejected by buyers. For the better
grades the demand was much In ex
cess of the supply, but for the lower
grades conditions were reversed. The
activity In the local market was duo
to the- desire of holders to realize for
Christmas purchases. The receipts
for the day by wagon were 131 bales.
Quotations are revised, good mid
dling and middling being reduced H
of a cent.

Is no doubt that this market Is in

adhered to In the least. We are still
bullish on the final outcome and can
not see any foundation to sell cotton
around these figures. • -

Amerlcus dirt gives promise of be
ing more valuable during the new
year than ever befpro in Its history.
The present year has witnessed un-
usual activity In real estate circles,
both in the city and In Sumter coun
ty. From present indications the in
coming tide will find lodgment both
in town and country.
“I look for a most lively year In
real estate,” said Mr. Lee Allen, yes
terday. “I have had many Inquiries
for property In the past few months
and expect to land a number of pros
pective purchasers. Including a num
ber of those who are non-residents
at present
“Prohibition will not hurt the
real estate business, but on the con
trary I expect an improvement Th6
year which is Just closing has been
a prosperous one and has seen many
deals in Amerlcus property.
“The conning of tho street railway
will have a stimulating effect
suburban lot-selling. Homes can be
bought at moderate prices where it
was impossible to sell for the reason
that it was too far out to walk to
and from business. The easy access
which the street car service will give
will prove a wonderful developer for
this class of property.
"From the real 1 estate standpoint,
the new year is In my opinion a
most promising one. The close of
the year 1909 should see a large num
ber of new families domiciled In Am
erlcus, and everybody prosperous and
happy.”
SPECIAL RATES TO
COTTON SCHOOL
President Soule, of tho Georgia
State College of Agriculture, has sent
out the following circular relative
to railroad rates and expenses for
farmers who attend the coming sesion
of the Cotton Schoi to be held in
Athens Jan. 6-17:
The farmers of the state will bo
Interested to know thnt the railroads
have agreed to make a special rate
for the Cotton. School to be held in
Athens, Ga.,' January 6 to 17 inclu
sive. Going tickets will be on i
January 4 to 7, and will be good to
return until midnight of January 18.
The rate Is four cents per mile for
the round trip, plus 25 cents.
The point of Importance Is for all
who expect to attend the Cotton
School to make certain that they are
beneficiaries of this rate, or In case
the ticket agent has failed to receive
notice of tlie same to bo suro to get
a certificate so the matter can be
adjusted on reaching Athens and a
low return rate obtained.
Almost any farmer In Georgia can
attend the Cotton School at a cost
not to exceed $15.00 to $25.00 for all
legitimate expenses connected with
the jehoo!-. This Is considerably lower
than our Drat estimate and Bhould
encourage many to come who have
hesitated in the past
Amerlcus merchants had the
trade of tho season yeserday, and
stores today will look a3 though a
cyclono had struck them.
Beginning tomorrow, tho banks of
Amerlcus, as usual, will close at 1
p. m. instead of 3 o'clock, continuing
