SEA ISLAND C0TToN GROWERS.
The BIackshear Convention to be
Held Tomorrow.


Blackshear, Ga, Feb. 9-Widespread
interest is centered in a convention of
planters of sea island cotton to convene
here Thursday. The call for the meet
ing is signed by A. z. Brantley, who says
that it is hoped to initiate a union of
planters for mutual advantage and pro-
lection. Mr.. Brantley's connection with
the mercantile establishment known as
the A. r. Brantley Company brings him
in close touch with the farmers through
out this immediate section. His connec-
ton with the meeting will be simply ad-
Visory He says prices have now reached
a point below the cost of production, and
that farmers will be forced to abandon the
industry unless some plan to reduce the
usual acreage at least one-third can be
devised Failing in this, the hope of the
industry Will rely on the possibility of in
ducing action at the hands Of the incom-
ing congress. Congress will be asked to
protect the industry from Egyptian COM
petition by leVying an import tax against
Egyptian long staple cotton.
Mr.. Brantley says the farmers are arous-
ed to the Importance of the matter. and
he expects to see "A movement inaugurated
that viii spread through the sea island
belt.
The meeting Thursday will be thorough
ly representative in character, and its ac-
ton will be along conservative lines.
Whatever action the committee takes will
be earnestly needed.

THE amount of beet sugar pro-

year is estimated at 100000 tons, a
slight decrease from 1896, when the
yield was 1921 900 tons For Aus
tria- Hungary the yield is placed at
$4,000 tons, against $4,000 tons
last year, while France shows an in
crease, 751 900 tons against 100000
tons last year. These enormous fig
mrs are interesting to Americans, for

Survey of the Allegheny.

The corps of surveyors who have been
engaged on the work of surveying the
Allegheny river reached this place on
Wednesday. The party is composed of
IL members under charge of George M.
Lehman, having left Oil City on the work
September Goth. He expects to finish up
the surveying shortly after the lst of De-
cember, which will take in photographic
and topographic surveys of the river and
banks, together with soundings and align
ments OF the stream. The bridges and
various towns along the stream will be
included in the survey. with their loca-
tions and any special point of interest
Mr. Lehman is also taking some photo
graphs which will prove an aid in the
work of preparing their maps when they
have finished the outside work. He said
the survey was for the purpose of finding
out positively just what improvements
are possible for the Allegheny river, and
whether or not it is practicable to slack
water the stream to Oil City. He says
As TO whether the stream will be improv-
ed or not. If they take hold of the mat
ter with the same energy they did last
year they will accomplish something, but
they must not give over agitating it
Keeping everlasting at it is the only way
to succeed. The corps of surveyors trav-
eled by boat and have very comfortable
quarters and are pleasant company OF
