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, of Col. C. C. Sanders of Gaines 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 :he names of churches constituted The other tab- J.

N. Parker, George Lathem, Miss Dixon Entertains, r ; . 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.

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 Conditions are State will feel proud Herald, A HAPPY MARRIAGE In Atlanta last Wednesday evening at 6 o’clock, at the home of the bride’s mother, Mrs. Ella Camp, Dr. W.
