They averaged more than a million
dollars a day and were more than three
millions of dollars more than the clear
ings of the first week in October last
year. It is noticed that the daily cot
ton receipts during the week the bank
clearings were so heavy were among
the highest ever known here. On
one day they amounted to more than
seven thousand bales and on not a
day in the past week were they so
high. That no doubt has had a great
deal to do with the total amount of
clearings not being as much this w r eek
as they were last. However, a sub*
stantial increase is noted on the clear
ings here last week over the similar
period in October, 1910.

PURSim FUNK?
Suit For $25,000 Brought
Against Harvester Co’s Man
ager For Alienating Wife’s
Affections.
Chicago.—Suit for $25,000 was filed
Saturday against Clarence S*. Funk
by John Henning, who charged that
Funk had alienated the affections of
Henning's wife, Josephine. Counsel
for Henning declared that the de
fendant in the suit, was the general
manager of the International Harves
ter Co.
Attorneys for Mr. Henning refused
to tell who their client was or where
he could he found. When Mr. Funk
was seen at his office he said: "I
never heard of the people in my life.
I never knew any such person ex
isted. The entire matter Is new to
me."
In a statement Mr. Funk declared
the suit ‘emanated from a well
known source” which he later explain
ed as meaning ‘‘Senator Lotimer and
bis allies.”
Every one knows this particular
Horimer faction is trying to discredit
me on account of information I gave
in the senatorial investigation,” he
said.
WHOSE MOTORCYCLE ON
ROAD NEAR HEPHZIBAH ?
At BaygaJl Branch, near Richmond
Factory, on the I,ou isvilje Road Fri
day last, W. C. Williams, the marshal
of Hephzibah, and some of the county
officers found lying by the road-side a
motorcycle In good condition and with
no sign of a rider near. They were
informed that it had been there for at
least 24 hours.
The office.rs suspecting foul play,
searched the near-by woods thor
oughly but could find not even a
trace of the rider. At the sugges
tion of some of the officers in the
'■rowd Mr. Williams took the machtne
to his home at Hephzibah where It can
now be found by the owner If in life.
Some said that maybe It was' stolen
from Augusta and taken there and
others thlnts it very' probable that,
there has been foul play, and that th
rider was robbed and maybe killed
and carried tome distance away. The
county authorities here ztjite that, they
know nothing of the case whatever.

Copenhagen. King George of
Greece, known ns the business mon

to Denmark, where he spent some
time in looking atfer his extensive in

FIVE YEAR OLD
PICKS 51 POUNDS
COTTON IN A DAY
If Richmond county had a
few more little cotton pickers
lik e Tommy Morgan, the 5-year
old son of Mr. Hamp Morgan,
of Hephzibah, it would not be
suffering for the want of cotton
piok e rs for it wouldn’t take
many like Tommy to pick all
the cotton around Augusta.
Tommy picked 51 pounds of
cotton Friday on hia father’s
farm and he is yet but a tot
hardly out of kilts. It Is re
garded by the best of cotton
pickers in this vicinity that
such a record is remarkable for
a young lad of h's age.
