"My heart was In my mouth.” said
Fireman Hob McWilliams yesterday.
In telling how near he came to run
ning over a buggy containing a lady
the other day.
The department wa* responding to
an alarm turned In from the Armour
plant, and Fireman McWilliams was
driving u hose wagon. Ha was about
to turn Into Cherry street from Cot
ton avenue, when ne saw a lady In a
buggy driving and about to cro»* Cot
ton avenue. She was probably too
excited to pull to one side, having got
ten herself In the way without think
ing of the danger, and there was no
wuy for the fireman to turn going at
th** speed he was. Ho wanted to keep
right on and Jump the sidewalk op
posite the Citizens’ National Rank,
but there wore people over there and
one or more would have been hurl.
It was then that his heart took the
upward flight. All this was passing
through Ids mind In seconds of time.
It was the lady who recovered her
presence of mind and moved out of
the wgy. but a piece of paper could
only slip through the space between
the wheels of the buggy and the
wheels of the hose wagon.
Chief Miller says It Is frequently
the fuse that persona make no effort
to get out of the way of tbe appara
tus on Its way to fires. They seern
to t*e too busy watching the appara
tus, and Just how collisions do not
occur Is a mystery.
The subject of street law* aa to
driving seem« to be up In other cities,

good points.

NUMBER OF PEOPLE
WHO RODE ON CARS
FROM THE CITY TO THE PARK FOR
THE TEN DAYS OF THE RECENT
FAIR—PORTY-FIVE THOUS
AND FARES WERE PAID.
They were guessing yesterday the
number of people the street railway
hauled to and from the park during the
ten day* of the fair Just closed. It was
something like guessing the number or
beans in tho Jar. ar.d tho guesses fell far
of the actusj number.
Some said fifty thousand, and some
went as high aa one hundred nnd fifty
thousand. Then they began to consider
how many people w*nt to the park In
hacks, carriages and automobiles, and
how many went on foot. They thought
of all the peopln who came In on tho
{Southern and the Macon and Dublin, and
who had only the distance of a couple of
blocks to wauc to reach the park, and the
guesses went wild again.
There was only one way to find out
anything like accurately, and that was
to see Secretary Jaudon. of the Macon
Railway and Light Company, hnd when
this was dons, ho oouhl only refer to his
cash receipts for the days and the tick
ets taken on the ears that ran only to
the park during the ten days. This he
did, and It was found that over 46,00(1
fares wore paid for the period. All that
Mr. Jaudon know's is that many fares
were paid on the park cars.
All these people were handled without
a hitch. Superintendent McFarland,
with the best Inspi-Hors and help in the
employ of the company, were constantly
on the watch for every halt, and looked
after every car. The result Is that It Is
seldom that oom any people, nearly fifty
thousand, going and coming, rode safely
and promptly to the park and made no

HIGHER COTTON
SAYSJORDAN
Believes Crop Will Fall Short
of Big Yields of 1904
and 1906.
ATLANTA. Os , Nov. I.—Harris Jor
dan. president of the Southern Cotton
Growers’ Association, speaking tonight of
the outlook for marketing uie present
cotton crop, said:
’’The national election Is past and mil
lions of dollars of orders for manufactur
ed goods have been placed In the past
few weeks. Raw cotton will feel the Im
petus given to other lines of Industry.
Whlls the glnners* reports Indicate a
larger amount of cotton ginned to daje
than at any previous period In the his
tory of the census bureau, the glnnings
for November and the succeeding months
of the year will indicate a heavy and
continuous falling off. The total yield of
this year will. In my opinion, fall far
short of tho big crop years of 1904 and
1004.”
Mr. Jordan emphasized his belief that
the price of cotton will rise speedily.
