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.

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 ADVANCE IN PRICE LUMBER MILL BLOCKS .On and aftenNovoinlior 10th, Lumber Mill Blocks will soli for $1.50 Load.'

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.

The civil rights act of forty years ago Is still In full force and effect, but no body pays the slightest attention to It All the veneering of politeness In refusing the trade of negroes has gradually worn off, until all ths fashionable places mere ly announce to an intending customer of color that negroes are not served.
