GAINESVILLE, GEORGIA, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 10,
COTTON CONSUMPTION
AT LINE CHURCH.
PROSTRATION
CURED BY PE-RU-NA.
Below is the letter of Theodore H.
Price of New York,
upon the cotton
situation.
A short account of the first
game of ball between Gainesville
...
and Rome appeared in the last
edition of the News. In the
second game, the home team made
(16) runs and the visiting {eats
only (4). Good ball is reported,
despite the rainy condition of the
weather. One or two broken fin*
gers were the only injuries in this
game. The battery for Gaines*
villewas: Ham, of Gainesville,
Bush of Winder, and Davis of
Gainesville, Allen of Buford.
In the second game the score
(6) to (0) in favor of Rome. In
this the • boys played splendid
ball and their defeat can only he
accounted to the general supeaiori*
ty of Rome’s team. In this game,
Moses the crack catcher of Rome,
ran into third-baseman Allen, and
fractured his skull. The battery
tor the visiting team was: Wil
lingham and Allen. Rome h^s a
fine team, most of the players be-
ing ex-Southern League men, but
Gainesville is going to try to get
them to play a series of games in
the city this week.
According to the computation
of the New York Exchange, pub
lished to-day, the commercial
count for the year, less one day is
10,741,193 bales. According to
the same authority the actual tak
ings of the Southern mills of the
United States for theffeeasou were
1,973,757 bales. According to the
New Orleans Cotton Exchange, the
world’s visible supply of American
cotton this evening is 797,354
bales. Against last year 945,625,
bales. Net decrease .for the year
148,272 bales. Commercial crop
as above 10,741,193 bales. Total
spinners’ taking for season 10,889,-
465 bales.
If, therefore, spinners’ stocks
are the same as they were last
year, it is evident that the world
has consumed in round figures 10,-
900,000 bales of cotton. I am cer
tain that in America, at least,
spinners’ stocks are decidedly less
than last year by probably 100,-
000 bales, and if this be the case,
the total world’s consumption of
American cotton has been 11,000,-
000 bales.
Of this consumption there has
been used in America;
Southern mill taking as above
(actual) 1,973,757 bales.
Northern mills and Canada con
sumption (cloBely estimated) 2,-
400.000 bales.
Total, 4,373.757 bales which
agrees almost exactly with my
estimate of American requirements
made on March 14th, last.
The consumption on this side
the Atlantic would have been even
larger except for the coal strike
in/ Pennsylvania and the failure
of the American corn crop which
for a time during the spring and
summer depressed American trade.
A large corn crop for the com
ing year is now assured. The set
tlement of the coal strike is im
minent,

ville. Great preparations have
been made by the, people m the
community for a great rally day
among the Baptists.
Col. C. C, Sanders, Dr. J. A.
Wynne, Col. J. C. Boone and, per
haps, several, others will attend
ihe celebration from here. Col.
Sanders will present to the church
k handsome silver service and two
tablets, one containing the names
of all the church’s pastors, clerks
and date of service of each: and

One of the most brilliant and
enjoyable receptions ot the season
was given on last Thursday even
ing by Miss Georgia Dixon, com
plimentary to her guest, Miss
Ethel Dallas, of La Grange. Quite
a number of invitations were sent
out, and the many guests added
much to the occasion. The guests
were entertained on the' beautiful
lawns and parlors and parlors of
Dr. Dixon’s elegant home and
dozens of brilliant hued Japanese
lanterns lighted up the scene of
loveliness. During the evening re
freshments were served, and
strains of music added to the

deed a lovely place for entertain

THE FIRE DEPARTMENT
The Gainesville fire department
now practices every Friday after
noon, and the citizens are warned,
to keep at a safe distance, and
to have their vehichles ont of the
way of the fire wagon on that
particular afternoon. Gainesville
has a good fire department arid it
has been said to be the best of
any city Gainesville’s size, but
the boys continue to practice and
have determined to make the loss
of property in Gainesville as small
as possible.
^Trade everywhere in the
United States is sound, and unless
something not now apparent shall
check its growth an increase of at
least 5 per cent, is to be expected
in American consumption during
the coming year. In Europe uni
versal peace prevails, and the
industrial activities of organized
society there no less than here can
hardly fail to expand under such
conditions, although lam convin
ced that the marvelous expansion
of industrial America during the
past three years is as yet but poor
ly appreciated in Europe. .
I feel, therefore, entirely jus ti
ded in expressing the opinion that
the coming year 4he world’s re
quirements of American cotton
will be at least 11,250,000 bales,
unless consumption be checked
either through a radical advance
in prices or some reversal of trade
conditions, of which there is at
present not the slightest sugges
tion.
That crop of 11,250,000 bales
will be produced seems to me out
