The news comes from Columbus, Ga.
that Mr. Orville G. Harvey has been
elected seceretary of the Americus Y.
M. C. A. Mr. Harvey Is the assist
ant secretary of the Columbus Y.
M. C. A.
The Columbus Enquirer-Sun says:
"It was announceil yesterday that
Mr. O. R. Harvey, assistant secre
tary of the Columbus Young Men's
Christian Association, has resigned,
the resignation to take effect Janu
ary 16th„ Mr. Harvey’s reason for
severing his connection with the
local association is that he has been
appointed general secretary of the
Young Men's Christian Association at
Americus, Ga.
"The resignation of this popular
Y. M. C. A. official comes as quite a
surprise to his friends In this city,
all of whom regret exceeding to lose
him, but are glad to learn of his
promotion. Snlce he came to Colum
bus some four years ago. he has
made a host of friends. He is
young man of marked intelligence
and many sterling qualities, and has
done much toward the upbuilding of
association work In this city. Mr.
Harvey Is well up on association
work, and the Americus people were
very fortunate In securing his ser
vices.
Mr. Harvey states that he regrets
very much to leave Columbus, and
his connection with the Y. M. C. A.
has been very pleasant, and he has
made many friends since he has lived
here. He says that everybody here
has been very kind to him, and that
he will always hold a warm place in
his heart for Columbus people.
His promotion to the general sec
retaryship of the handsome new Y.
M. C. A. at Americus is a deserving
one, and he carries with him the
best wishes of his many Columbus
friends In his new field, who sin
cerely trust that every success will
attend his efforts with the new asso
ciation at Americus.
The association building at Ameri
cus has been completed at a cost of
$40,000 and is said to be a handsome
structure and equipped along modern
lines of the Y. M. C. A. work."
Since the resignation of Secretary
T. M. Lemley some weeks ago, the
local Association has been without an-
executive officer. While nothing has
been given out by the local manage
ment, it Is presumed that the new
secretary will be expected to aid 1 n
raising funds for furnishing the
building. .(When this 1b done the
doors can be opened and the institu
tion placed, It Is believed, on a silt-
sustaining basis at once.

GOOD TIKES IN 1909.
Chicago Financiers, However, Think
Betterment Will Be Gradual.
Chicago Dispatch to the N. Y. Herald.
There is general agreement among
the leading financiers and heads of
greatly that it more than compen
sates for the loss purchasing power
by the manufacturing class.
That there has been a gradual but
certain Improvement In business gen
erally In the last six months of the
year is generally agreed In the busi
ness world. The national election of
November 3 diappointed enthusiasts
who expected an Immediate resump-
the large establishments in Chicago of’unparalleled activity that ex-
that the year 1909 will be one of gen-, . d ln thg flrgt glx or e f K ht months
eral and great prosperity. With po- . Bu , to the more sober minds
litical uncertainty removed by the onlone ' the leaders of industry a
national election business men see
little to Tear and much to hope for In
the prospect of legislation.
Some leading Chicago houses state
that the purchasing power of the
farming classes has increased so
among the leaders
boom period Is not desirable.
“I do net look for any marked in
crease In business immediately fol
lowing! January 1 next." said Ernest
A Hamlll, president of the Corn Ex
change National Bank. "Our crops
have been good and are bringing good
prices. Upon them, of course, rests
the continued prosperity of our coun
try. Our farmers have enjoyed for
several years abundant crops and are
in excellent financial condition. In
deed, you might now say that they
are the bankers of the country, for
they have money to loan.
“Under the conditions I have men
tioned I do not see bow we can Tall to
have a continued improvement in all
lines of business during the coming
year, but such improvement must
come gradually, and will, therefore,
be of a more healthy character."

HATER DRINKING A HABIT.
Mrs. Craig Has Not Tasted It Ip 40
Years and Has Not Been Ill.
Alton. 111., Dec. 29.—Water drink
ing is Just a habit, like gum-chewing,
or, for the matter of that, tobacco
chewing, says Mrs. Mary Craig.
Mrs. Craig had the habit when she
was younger, but she got over it, and
for forty years had not tasted water.
Not that she considers herself en
titled to any credit for her abstem
iousness, oil the contrary, she Is free
to confess that doing without water
la as much a habit as using it.
“I Just got Into the habit 'of not
drinking water,” she said, “and, like
most habits. I have not 'been able to
throw it off. While I leave It ab*ie as
a matter of habit, others use it as a
matter of habit It is Just os hard for
me to break my hablUnnd drink it
It would be for others to break their
habit and quit drinking it Sometimes
I feel like I would like to take a
drink of water, but as I have not
tasted any for forty years I know It
would make me sick. I know doing
without water Is not a bad habit, be
cause In the forty years that I have
been doing without It I have had
scarebly a day's sickness.

SMALL TRADING
ON BASIS S l-2c
Sales in tbo local cotton market
yesterday wero small, but on a.
basis of 854 cents for good middling.
Llttlo cotton was coming in, tha
Christmas spirit still pervading the
situation. Transactions wero chiefly
wbo turned
loose 37 bales.
The New York market opened un
changed to ( points higher. The
movement was Irregular, the close
fact that Chief Feagin on tomorrow j being easy, 3 points off for May. te
becomes Sheriff Feagin. His term 8 points up for January,
has more than a year to run.
As the regular meeting of the
Board of Police Commissioners Is to
be held next Tuesday night, It Is not
likely that any action on the resigna
tion will be taken until that time.
As It was a foregone conclusion that
such a course would be pursued by
Chief Feagin, of course no one was
surprise*. He steps from an office
which he has filled so long and so
admirably, into a more responsible
and a more lucrative one.
Considerable Interest Is manifested
In the matter of a successor to Chief
Feagin. The general talk is that
Lieut. Barrow will be elevated to
the position, his being the only ap
plication on file.
