Comparatively little business was
done in cotton circles yesterday be
cause of the want of wire connection
with New York, and for awhile, with
some other parts of the country. Re
ports from Liverpool were secured late
and proved incomplete; pretty full re- :
ports were had from New Orleans, but
nothing whatever was received from
New York. Because of this wire trou
ble no reports of port receipts were
to be had either.
The local spot market opened quiet
and steady at prices unchanged from
Saturday’s close. At 1 o'clock the tone
had become quiet and remained so at

New York, Nov. 14.—The cotton mar
ket was effectually cut off from com
munication with Southern points to
ri p.y, and except quotations carrying
tfce New Orleans market, which were
tarnished by the Associated Press, no
Sbuthem news was received. The mar
ket opened quiet and steady in response
to the Liverpool cables at unchanged
prices to an advance of 2 points. As
it was presumed that Liverpool was
receiving the usual news from New
Orleans, the steadiness in that market
was taken to Indicate that no special
change had taken place in the Southern
situation.
The market held steady all day, but
rsled very quiet being finally steady at
a, net advance of 3 to 6 points, with
skies of about 10,000 Wales. This show
ing was rather than due on the 1:30

Cotton Letter from Gilbert & Clay
of Neyv Orleans.
New Orleans, Nov. 14. —The first ad
vices from Liverpool were received
about the hour of their closing, and
presumably came via. Canada, all com
munications with New York being
suspended as the result of a severe
storm in that vicinity. The closing
prices showed an advance of 2 points
on options and spots, lost 2 points on
sales of 8,000 bales. Trading In our
market was much restricted but
throughout the day a steady market
was observed. The Atlantic coast
storm prevented cable orders forspot
cotton being received. Exporters had
only a few trades to close. The next
complete report will show the amount
of cotton ginned up to to-day, and we
compare with 7,070,437 commercial
bales last year. Installments probably
will be received during the present
week and the total may be expected
around the twenty-fifth instant. Esti
mates of the final summary
range around 9,700,000. ba.les.
and are based on the propable
capacity of the gins for the.
number of working days since the last
report. This does not suggest a very
bullish situation, at the same inordi
nate declines should not follow, mainly
because a large crop is required and is
being asorbed by spinners. On any ad
vances of note, we should think more
favorably of the short side on
the belief that the Decerriber govern
ment report is more likely to indicate
a crop adequated of requirements un
less prices should be depresser to levels
which would warrant the belief which
would warrant the belief In extra
ordinary consumption.

GEORGIA AND FLORIDA
COMPANY AT CORDELG.
Cordele Daily News: Cordele has a
military company. That information
is made positive by a letter received by
B. M. Pate, captain of the new com
pany, from the Governor’s secretary.
The letter says: “The Governor is in
receipt of the application of yourself
and others for the admission of the
military company at Cordele. recently
organized, into the state troops, and he
directs me to Say that he has directed
the Adjutant General to take the nec
essary steps to have said company
become a part of the state militia.” It
will be remembered that the applica
tion of the Cordele company for ad
mission was sent to Atlanta one week
ago to-day. It had been organized one
week previdus at the Council cham
ber with fifty men. At the first meet
ing the commissioned officers were
named as follows: Captain, B. M.
Pate; first lieutenant, W. F. Hall;
second lieutenant. E. R. Parker.
GEORGIA’S SWEETNESS.
Quitman Free Press: The sweet
stream of new Georgia cane syrup has
started. It is as fattening as cod liver
oil and tastes rather better.
HER LEG BROKEN..
Mrs. W. H. Evans, who resides at
47 East Mitchell street, Atlanta, now
lies at her home with a broken leg as
result of being struck by a bicycle
ridden by Luther McGee, a 14-year-old
negro boy. Just as Mrs. Evans was
in the act of crossing Whitehall street
she was struck by the wheel and
knocked about ten feet to the pave
ment. When passers-by went to her
assistance, and a physician was call
ed, it was learned that the left leg had
been broken just above the ankle.
THE CITY COMPANIES.
Atlanta Constitution: In an article
In The Constitution relative to the mili
tia companies in the large cities, par
ticularly Atlanta and Savannah, being
too much congested, it was stated that
the criticism had been nrfade in official
circles that as a result of the efforts
to keep numerous companies up to
the top-notch of enlistment consider
able undesirable material had been tak
en into them, and that, therefore, the
future policy would probably be to re
duce the number of companies in the
cities whenever the occasion offered,
and to distribute them more evenly
over the state. It is understood from
official sources that exceptions have
been taken to this criticism by many
of the militiamen of Atlanta. Up to
the present time Savannah has not been
heard from on the subject. The sources
from which it came never intended
that It should apply generally to the
militiamen of these two cities and it
was not so stated. There is much good
material In nearly all of the compa
nies in Atlanta and Savannah. Wh'at
it was intended to convey was that
these cities have too many companies
to support and that in their effort to
keep up a large enlistment, when the
supply of good available material is ex
hausted they have been known to enlist
men some of whom should not be per
mitted to serve in the state militia.
The idea is that the number of com
panies in the large cities should he
cut down and the good material con
solidated so as to make three or four
good companies where there are now
six or eight indifferent ones. It is un
derstood from the source from which
this information comes that the fu
ture policy with regard to the state
militia will be somewhat along this
line with a view to the betterment of
the service throughout the state. It
is not expected that any steps will be
taken in this direction in the immediate
future, for no action is contemplated

against any company as long as it is
kept up to the required standard of
efficiency. But if the time comes when
it is found necessary or expedient to
disband any of the companies in the
larger cities, it is highly probable that
the new companies which take their
place will be mustered in in some of
the smaller cities and towns of the
state.
*Ot FROM A PECAN TREE.
Waycross Journal; Mr. J. T. Brown
capped the climax on pecans this year,
his crop being the best his trees have
yet yielded. Already he has sold from
160 thirteen-year-old trees S7OO worth
of nuts and he is not yet through sell
ing. One tree alone has brougnt him
over *6B this year, the largest amount
yet reported in this section from one
tree. Mr. Brown is enthusiastic on pe
can culture and this year has put out
over 700 more trees. All his pecans
are the'large paper-shell variety. Mr.
Brown thinks the trees do better plant
ed from the seed and that they are
injured by transplanting.
REST FROM POLITICS.
The only political event cast for ap
pearance before 1906 concerns the legis
lature alone. The Senate, which meets
for the first time next summer, will
have to elect a president,and the House
a speaker, besides other officials con
nected with those two bodies.
Already there are warm races in
progress for those two positions, with
many applicants in the field for each,
but these campaigns concern only the
members of the Legislature and the peo
ple will not be disturbed with them.
The candidates for president of the
senate and speaker of the House are
hard at woyk now, conducting corre
spondence campaigns, and where there
is opprtunity of making personal appeals.
Members of the new House-and Senate
say that neither race is won by a good
deal, and the outlook is that the con
tests will be carried right up to the
meeting of the legislature itself, where
it will likely take more than one bal
lot in each case to determine the result.
PUT UP A SOUTHERN MAN.
Americus Tlmes-Recorder: Let us
have a Southern man for President in
1908. If we are doomed to defeat, let

leaders.
WILSON REALLY EVANS.
The identity of J. C. Wilson, who was
aocldently killed at the Ravens spool
and bobbing factory, in Toccoa has
been discovered.
Wilson had been in Toccoa about two
weeks. Before his death he had stated
that Atlanta was his home. Wilson was
accidently drawn by a belt into the
machinery, wrapped round a moving
shaft and horribly mangled, dying in
stantly. His relatives could not be
found In Atlanta, and the only clew to
his identity was a letter in his pocket
dated Birmingham, and signed “Moth
er.”
The full name of a young lady resi
dent of Birmingham was mentioned in
the mother's letter. In reply to tele
gram she said she did not know J. T.
Wilson. Extracts from the mother’s let
ter were then sent to the young lady
and her reply shows that Wilson’s
proper name was Jesse L. Evans.
KILLING IN CAMDEN.
Brunswick News: A murder which
occurred in Camden county a few days
ago, and which was one of the most
dastardly in the history of the county,
is causing considerable excitement,
and efforts are being made to capture
the murderers. Elias Bailey, a young
white man, was the victim, and he
was killed by Charles Tison and Wal
ter Hammons, two negro boys about
8 years of age. The killing occurred
at Forkville, ten or twelve miles from
Woodbine. It seems that the negroes
and the young white man had some
kind of a dispute. One of the negroes
shot Bailey, and he then hastened to
a house nearby, not being seriously
wounded. The two negroes followed
him and while he was displaying his
wound to people living in the house,
he was fired upon several times by the
negroes, death resulting a few min
utes later. The two negroes then
made their escape and from last ac
counts they had not been captured,
although the officers have made a dili
gent search for them.
BAPTISTS GO TO COLUMBUS.

TAMPA RAY HOTEL SOLD.
Tampa Morning Tribune: Mayor F.
A. Solomonson has bought the Tampa
Bay Hotel and all the property that
goes with It. The news that the mayor
had completed a deal which has been
pending for some time came to Tampa
yesterday In a telegram from Mr. Sal
omon son himself to s friend in this
city. The exact figure at which the
mayor bought the hotel Is not known
here, but It is certain that the con
sideration was leas than *IOO,OOO.
Mayor Saiomonson, who, whether rep
resenting himself individually or some
syndicate, has been negotiating far the
sale of the property, has made several
trips to New York on this mission H
had just left New York for home on
his return to Tampa yesterday when
he wired the gentleman referred to
that he had closed the deal and thu'
the Tampa Bay was his. The inten
tions of the purchaser as to the > u .
ture of the property are also unknown
although it is reasonable to suppose
that all the grounds, race-course ai i
adjacent property belonging to the ho
tel will be subdivided and put on the
market as building lots. What will
De done with the hotel building- itself 3
not known. The Tampa Bay Hotel
alone, with its immediate ground* is
\Vorth intrinsically *3,000.000. The fur
niture in the hotel building property is
worth fully *200,000, the amount which
it is alleged the property was sold fo r
In addition to this, are the beautiful
botanical gardens, the Casino, the
bachelor’s quarters, the servant’s an
nex, the exposition building, and til
the race-course and park, boats, boat
houses, piers, etc.—an estate that would
be worth, on its face, not less than
**,000,000. Among the interests wh; h
have been endeavoring to effect the
purchase of this magnificent property
was the Presbyterian church, which
was represented in the matter by Rev
J. G. Anderson, pastor of the First
Presbyterian church in this city. Mr
Anderson interested some of the heads
of the church in the proposition to ac
quire the hotel and use it as a Pros
byterian university. Mr. Anderson
said to the Tribune last night that lie
had made a trip to New York recently
in regard to the matter and that a
meeting of the people who were with
him in the transaction was to hav
been held in New York City Monday,
at which it was hoped the purchase
could be accomplished for the church.
However, he learned with regret yes
terday that the property had already
been sold to Mayor Salomonson. The
Tampa Bay Hotel was built and its
beautiful grounds laid out under the
personal direction of theoriginal own
er of the property, the late Henry
Bradley Plant, president of the Plant
System of Railways and Steamships.
The hotel was Mr. Plant’s hobby and,
during his lifetime, he expended upon
It large sums, caring little whether the
returns from the operation of the hotel
as a winter resort were commensurate
with the investments made. After his
death, the hotel deteriorated as a tour
ist .resort, and its business gradua ' ■
fell away to practically no’hing. Til'
heirs of Mr. Plant decided that they
could not afford to operate it as a re
sort any longer and they a ’opted the
quickest and easiest mecnod of dispos
ing of it, regardless of the price re
ceived. Such a colossal bargain was
never before known in real estate cir
cles in the South, a >d a mail who w.i;
speaking of the purchase of the prop
erty last night sn : d tntu the mere ma
terial in the hotel buildiug wp worth
much more than the price at which it
was held for sale.
