Thursday the government’s crop re
port was issued showing the general
condition of the cotton crop of the
United States to be 63.7 per cent and
contrary general expectations the
market remained steady. The trade
socmed to be expecting almost any fig
ure and consequently there was no ma
terial change, exceot to strengthen the
market, but later weakened.
Cotton in the local market sold for
12 5-16 cents at one time. The Millelge-
ville market throughout the week lias
been exceptionally good as compared
with other big markets and farmers
will no doubt bo doing well to bring
their cotton direct here. Receipts are
rapidly increasing and a full movement

With the best prospects in the historv
for a successful term the Georgia Mili
tary College opened Wednesday with an
unusually large enrollment for opening
day. The number of students who will
enter this season may exceed 600 astho
diligent work of Pres. Reynolds and the
splendid system of advertising has re
sulted in muny applications for admis
sion.
The college is one that offers unusual
advantages to young folk of the state,
for it is a city Institution and therefore
conducted not for the gain of the in
structors, but for the behefil of the
yoi«..'i of the state.
The inauguration of the department
of telegraphy under Mrs. Hall and the
enlargement of the commercial depart
ment under the able management of
Prof. Bond will no doubt be beneficial
to the institution as well as to the stu
dents.

We also commend him for the zoal

lives to it’s work, and to refute the
slanders directeJ against them.
We heartily endorse his record in the
past House as that of a public servant
who was faithful to his trust.
