President Lane of the Southern Cotton
Growers Association has just returned
from a tour of the South. and saws the
cotton crop will be six and one-half mill
ion bales. He predicts January cotton
will sell for 10 cents a hundred.
Advices from Fort Bend. Texas, and
other sections give gloomy accounts of
this years crop of sugar cane. The freeze
of last winter seriously damaged the
cane stubble. causing it to mature dry
and hard. Land in Fort Bend County
which last year produced twenty to thir-
ty tons of cane this year produced only
three to ten tons. The cutting will be
finished in thirty days. whereas it ordin-
arily takes a hundred.
One of the results of the great gather
ing of Western men in Nicksburg Incl
dental to the waterways convention has
been the organization of the Nicksburg
National Military Park Association
whose character is now in course of prep
aration and whose incorporatorS are such
men as General Lee General Il. A. Alger
General John b. Gordon. Ex-Governor
Hoard, of Wisconsin: Colonel Fred ID.
Grant, and many others of equal promin-
ence in civil life or the great conflict be-
tween the States The object of the or
ganization is to foster the foundation of
a national military park there similar to
those at Gettysburg and Chickamauga
Park.
Augusta. Ga. was visited By the largest
fire in years Friday afternoon. The lum-
Der mill of Jesse Thompson * Co, the
largest in the South. was burned TO the
of lumhPr N
the yards. The loss to them is $40, 900,
one-third insured The fire then spread
for two blocks. Forty-two dwellings Oc-
cupied by operatives were entirely con-
sumed. Three hundred are homeless. The
loss on these buildings is $4,000. with lit
tie insurance. The entire fire department
was called out. but owing to the distance
from water and Il gale from the south
nothing could be done. The flames
stopped when everything in line was
burned.
