GEoRGrA's SEA ISLAND COTTON.
Complaint of Discrimination in Fa-
VOr of Florida.

Valdosta, Ga, Nov. 26-The discrimina-
ton which has been practiced against sea
island cotton grown in Georgia will have
material effect in one of the chief in
dussries of South Georgia, If something
Is not done to repair the injury in the
future" 1t may not be generally known,
but 1t has been a fact this year that sea
island cotton grown in Georgia brings on
the market from to 3 cents less a pound
than the same grades grown in Flodida
The presumption that Florida cotton is
better staple than that grown in Geor-
gia has probably Influenced factors and
manufacturers in showing greater favor
to the Florida staple. But the fact that the
Florida staple, as a rule, is not better for
any purpose has been illustrated so often
that only few illustrations need be given
to show just what an error has been made
in respect to the staples of the two states
A bale of Georgia cotton was re-
Gently marked Florida staple" and
shipped off. 1t was graded by
the factors Florida cotton and given
a higher place that bale of Florida cot
ton which was marked Georgia. In
stances of this sort have been numerous
and a shrewd wiregrass buyer is alleged
to have made a neat little sum by ship
ping his cotton to Florida town and then
having 1t shipped out as Florida cotton
nothing more than that their cotton be
allowed to run on its merits by the side
Of any other staple. If expert cotton men
cannot tell the difference between Geor-
gia or Florida staple IL is a glazing dis
elimination to allow a higher price for
one than the other simply upon the pre-
sumption that one is superior to the
other
Valdosta has been for a number of
years the great metropolis for sea island
cotton, and the city has earned its dis
tinction in this particular by keeping the
price OF long staple as high at all times
as any other market in the two states,
but Valdosta has suffered some from the
discrimination shown against Georgia cot
ton by the big cotton concerns during the
present season. Georgia long staple has
been driven across the Florida line and
sold as Florida staple and shipped of to
the factors, where IL was accepted as
Florida cotton, and at prices much higher
than would have been paid for Florida
cotton shipped from Georgia town.
The planters of long staple through this
section have been considerably stirred
up by the present conditions, and they
hope that, hereafter. both states will be
put upon the same basis. The sea island
crop through this section has been con-
slderabiy shorter than last year. but the
staple has been good. Local buyers claim
to have bought much this year at a loss
TO offset the higher prices allowed for
Florida cotton.
Valdosta gets only a hundred or two
bales Of short cotton and very little at
tention Is paid 10 short staple by local
buyers here.

SHOT DEAD FROM HIS HORSE.
Now the Slayer is on Trial on a
Charge of Murder.

Jacksonville, Fla, Nov. 26.-The trial in
this city of NJ. NJ. Driggers, a merchant
of Lake Butler. for the murder of r. T.
Bowling, tax collector of Bradford coun-
ty, last June, is exciting unusual atten-
tion. The court room was crowded to-
day, many of the spectators being resi-
dents of Bradford county. The trial is
being held here, the defense having Sc
cured Il change of venue on the ground
of local prejudice. Bowling was a very
popular man. After the murder Driggers
escaped and was hunted by lynchers;
but was spirited away by the authorities
to the Duval county Jail, where he since
has been.
Seventeen witnesses for the state were
examined to-day and so far States At
tOrney Hartridge has made a strong
case. While none of the witnesses saw
the killing, yet they heard Driggers ac-
knowledge that he had done ii, and one
said Driggers told him he did it because
the tax collector had attempted to bull
doze him. Bowling was shot from his
mule a few feet from Driggers store. He
fell in the road. His mule with his own
er's blood on the saddle ran on, but was
caught up the road by Mrs. Bowling She
hurried back and found her husband
dead. In his hand was a knife. This
tackled him with. but it was proven that
Driggers had borrowed this very knife
from John Carver a few days before.
The state will endeavor to show that
Driggers placed the knife in the dead
mans hand.
