URGE SALES SPOTS -
' AT LIVERPOOL
Unsupplied Demand Locally
on Basis Quotations.
Large spot sales at Liverpool and
the strength ot the contract market
there had. a buoyant effect on the
American cotton markets Tuesday
at the. opening, which was 5 to 10
points higher. During the session a
further advance of 2 to 6 points took
place for old crop, months. The close
was around opening values, except for
the new crop at New Orleans, which
was somewhat better than first prices.
Net gains for the day were 6 to 10
points. No changes were made In
spot quotations. ,
Liverpool opened 2 to 4 points up
and closed steady at a sharp gain for
the near positions. The market Is
due unchanged this morning. Spots
were advanced 7 points, the sales
being 10,000 bales.
No transactions were reported In
the local market Tuesday. Cotton
was salable on the basis ot quoted
values or a trifle .better, but nothing
was offering. Quotations are unchang
ed from Tuesday.

GOUNT IS FINISHED IN
ONE WARD OF CITY
5
Just one week was required by
the census enumerators to count the
people living In the Fourth ward, and
the exact number of residents found
there by Mr. Persons and his assist
ant was 2,260. The Fourth ward Is
bounded north by Church street and
west by Jackson, extending thence
to the corporate boundaries. The
ward divisions are made at Jackson
and Church streets, the Bivins resi
dence being at the corner of the
Fourth ward, the Raines home Just
opposite, being in the First, the Speer
home In the Second and the Y. M. C.
A. building In the Third ward, these
four properties occupying the four
street corners at the point indicated,
while Jackson street north and south,
and Church street east and west, di
vide the city Into four big wards.
Of these, the Third ward Is probably
the most densely populated and upon
this Mr. Persons started his work
of enumeration yesterday. With 2,260
people living in the Fourth ward,
reported, there will be no difficulty In
finding a grand total of 12,000 people
heer when the connt Is completed a
month hence.

The U. 8. Government tn Its “Pure
Food Law” does not ‘indorse’’ or

some manufacturers In their adver
tisements would make It appear. In
the case of medicines the law pro
vides that certain drugs- shall be
mentioned on the labels, it they are
Ingredlenst ot the preparations. Ely's
Cresm Balm.^lie well-known family
remedy for c<M In the head, hay fev
er and nasal cabQ'rh, doesn't contain'
a single injurious drug, so the mak
ers have simply to print the fact
that it compiles fully with all the
requirements of the law.

News that the Seaboard has laid oft
a number of men' at the shops was re
ceived yesterday with regret by the
people of Amerlcus. This is the first
reduction made here, and It was
hoped that there would be none.
Certainly of all the Seaboard
shops, the Amerlcus plant should be
the one to be left Intact. And this
statement Is based on many reasons
which could not be urged In favor of
any other location.
In the first place the old shops and
grounds were given to the road abso
lutely without cost, and we believe
there was also a cash bonus In addi
tion. For many years the shops were
not charged for water and even now
the rate is merely nominal.
Then Amerlcus was the point where
the first rail was laid for the original
Seaboard, running between Savannah
and Montgomery. The patriotic gen
erosity of a multitude of citizens of
Amerlcus and Sumter county made
possible the inception ot the road It
self. In the reorganization scores ot
fortunes of Amerlcus people were
swept away, but the road bad been
made possible. Building was first
carried to Lumpkin on the west, and
then started towards Savannah, where
the road finally arrived, completing
the 34^ miles from Savannah to
A « le CATARRH
Ely’s Cream Balm
Montgomery. The original road was In
fact known os the Savannah, Amerl
cus”* Montgomery.
The matter Is to be taken up with
the Seaboard ofllcials by the Board ot
Trade and the claims ot Amerlcus
presented. There ywill not likely be
any difficulty In proving to the man
agement that Amerlcus has first
claim for her shops, and that the
force here should be maintained to
the full limit regardless of what re
trenchments need bo made elsewhere.
And when all of the facts are consid
ered, the plea-of Amerlcus cannot be
glassed os a selfish one by any means.
It Is not putting the case
too strong to say that, the
Seaboard owes very much to
Amerlcus, its birthplace and Its
staunch ' friend through all these
years. That the generosity of Amer
lcus from the first until now should
weigh for nothing in determining the
places where retrenchment-shall be
made, we do not believe.,
FACULTY OF SGHOOL IS
. SUSTAINED IN FULL
In the report of the meeting of
the Prudential Committee of the
Agricultural and Mechanical School,
that met at the school Monday, and
composed of Messrs: J. R. Stapleton
of Webster, J. W. Bivins of Crisp, and
E. L. Bridges ot Schley, a alight er
ror was made.
The committee met to decide upon
an appeal mode from the Faculty -on
the suspension of one hoy. This boy
had been suspended on charges. Ths
father of the young man not being
satisfied with the action taken by the
Faculty, appealed the matter to the
Prudential Committee of the board.
The committee decided, unanimous
ly, in sustaining the Faculty.
The young man referred to, may
return to the school, yet if he does,
he will return upon the terms pres
cribed by the Faculty at the time ot
the suspension. It was an error to
have said that the comltteo had under
consideration the reinstating of a
young man from Lee.

Students Who Were Dli

A meeting ot the "committee on

lego here, consisting of Mr. Stapleton
of Webster, Air. Bivins of Crisp and
Mr. Bridges of Schley, held a con
ference with tho faculty ot the college
here yesterday, the purpose of which
was to adjust matters which led re
cently to the expulsion of two of the
hoys, one from Leo nnd the other
from Sumter. College property had
been wantonly destroyed, It Is said,
and tho two hoys in question had re
fused to divulge the names ot the
perpetrators, though alleging to
know their Identity. A satisfactory

Doan's Kidney Pills do one thing

They cure sick kidneys.
II. Y. Ferrell, veterinary surgeon,
living at 67 State Street, Albany, Ga.,
says: “Although I have never been
laid up with kidney complaint, I have
suffered' a great deal with a lame
and aching back, and have felt like
going to bed on-that account often
enough. This dull, heavy pain was
with me for several years. The urine
was also very dark and sluggish, and
contained a thick sediment. I tried all
kinds ot remedies, and used prescrip
tions of my own, but without suc
cess. ‘Nothing seemed to take hold
until I procured Doan’s Kidney Pills.
They were exactly suited to my case.
Since using the pills I havo not been
bothered with those pains, and the
kidney secretions havo been restored
