Rush.
General Freight and Passenger Agent j.
F. Rabbit Of the South Bound railroad said
yesterday that the South Bound will be
completed to Columbia by Oct. %.
"Tbe South Bound expects to do large
business from its local stations to the Co
lumbia fair. which opens Nov g." said Mr..
Babbitt. 1.-THE fair has been ex-
teusively advertised along the road by
Columbia people owing 10 its being new
territory"
"How is the country opening up along
the roadT Mr.. Babhitt was asked.
"Spendidly," was the reply. New saw
mills are locating almost every day, and the
towns are building up right along. The
South Bound runs through a splendid tim
ter belt and its lumber and naval stores
territory is uuequaled.
"The South Bound will give the people
along its line grand excursion to Ssvan-
nah early in November. If the merchants
wish they can send out invitations to tbe
merchants and planters along the line of
the road to meet them at a reception at the
cotton exchange. or any other place that
might he selected"
Owing to the failure Of the agent to
properly report the daily receipts
of the South Bound. the state
ment OF receipts as published daily

the amount of the business done by the
road. 1t has been bringing in between 200
and 800 bales Of cotton and large amount

BIGGEST RECEIPTS KNOWN.
Cotton Pouring in at a Phenomen
Kate

Cotton Pouring in at a Phenomenal
Rate.
Savannah's cotton receipts this week have
been something phenomenal If they con-
tinue the remaining two days of the week
at the same rate as for the last four DAYS
the receipts at the port for the week will be
greater than for any previous week in its
history. The receipts for the last four days
have been So, $50 bales. Yesterdays receipts
were l2,9O9 bales, against 8,771 bales the
same day last year, a gain of l. 136 bales.
The total receipts at the port yesterday
were So, 6S3 bales, against 1855 the same
day last year.
Efforts are being made in Mexico to in
crease the production Of cotton aud to make
true the prediction in some of the govern
ment reports that Mexico will one day
occupy position among the first, il not
the first, of the worlds cotton producers.
The government reports describe vast
tracts suitable TO the growth OF cot
ton; in fact it grows nearly everywhere in
Mexico. The best cotton lands are situated
III the coast districts both on the Atlantic
and on the Pacific. and in district in Cen
trial Mexico near Chihuahua. On the At
lantic coast the cotton lands extend from
the twenty-fourLh degree parallel TO Yucs-
tan, the best Icing in Vera Cruz and great
unoccupied tracts in "abasco and Cam
peche On the Pacific coast the cotton
la ads extend from the twenty-ninth degree
parallel to Guatemala, the best lying in
Oajaca. The length of the fiber in Mexico
cotton is from an inch to an inch and a
half, according to the kind. Ia ancient
times Mexico produced great quantities of
cotton, estimated at 49,, 100000 pounds
annually, and during the late war con-
siderable fortunes were made in its
cultivation; aud now that the
means of transportation are being
improved the country can soon begin its
competition for share in the worlds pur-
chases OF cotton. In the meantime vast
tracts of land are lying idle, but they are
rapidly being taken up by concessions to
Europeans, and the Americans are not
getting their share, though a competition
controlled by foreigners is gradually grow
i g up IN Mexico; yet by taking up these
lands that can be controlled and carried for
almost nothing. they could have good
share in whatever was doing.
