but throughout the entire cotton belt"
the commissioner says.
There has also leen a reduction in the
amount of commercial fertilizers used.
While the reduction of the cotton acreage
has not been as large as we might have
wished, still We have made 500 show
ing For the season of 1897 and 1888 Geor-
Sia used up to June l, 1885, about 423, GEO

season of 1898 and 1888 Georgia used Up
TO June l, 1893, about 335,e00 TONS or q per
cent. less than last season. Last season
Georgia spent the enormous sum, in round
numbers of $S,500000 for commercial fer

spent about S. 10000 for commercial fer
uhzers. Thus about $1>75000O have been

I'VE note with pleasure that other states

than is shown by the reports of the United

issued by Latham, Alexander q Co. We
have been in direct communicate ion with
the departments of agriculture for the va

sources we are led to believe that the cot

ROGERS VIEWS As no rnusrs.
Tells Gov. Sayers Why He win Not
Attend the Convention.

Austin. Tex, June 19.-Gov. Sayers re-
oeived letter from Gov. Rogers of Wash
ington, declining to attend the antf-trust
convention al ST. Louis. He presents his
reasons as follows:
In reply to your invitation, allow me
to say that it will be impossible for me TO
attend. 1t has occurred 10 me in this
connection that many people are advocat-
ing state control of trusts with inslncerity
thinking in this way TO pass through the
next national campaign with safety to
themselves, feeling sure that whatever
state legislation may be enacted, which
will really curb the power of trusts. win
eventually be declared unconstitutional by
the United States Supreme Court. With
those VINO thus and for that purpose adj
yocate state legislation regarding trusts
1 can have no sympathy, and l am bound
TO believe, too, that legislative action
which seeks to control the formation and
management of trusts win prove ineffec-
tual.
In the first place the word trust is
misleading when applied 10 great many
lluust flai combinatio lions now threateninss
the prosperity of the peOple MANY in
stances of so-called trusts are merely Iars-
er corporations.
1t has occurred TO me that corporation

constitutional right to buy and sell.
Clearly II seems TO me corporations as
puy ana hence right 10 SELL whatever is
offered for sale in the market If a SUI
nclent weight OF capital be employed a
corporation or natural person has the
aDlhty and the constitutional right 10 sell
all of certain product offered for sale
and this unquestiOnably will operate to FIX
the price at which such product will in
future be sold. We can see that as in
the case of that parent of trusts, the
Standard Oil Company, the power TO buy
and sell possessed by that company is en-
utely sufficient 10 regulate the price al
which oil will be sold. The Standard OH
Company thus gets the power to drive
out OF business all competitors and in this
way 10 establish the price for which their
product must be sold.

lanes Barrett, vice president of the
Georgia State Agricultural Society, was
the only witness before the commission
to-day. He spoke on the agricultural con-
ditions of the South. saying that they were
worse to-day than they had ever been in
the history of the country.
He said the cotton interest was espe-
cialy depressed, prices last year amount
ing 90 a little over 4 cents a pound. At
This price a man could not save himself
II ne paid wages amounting to more than
s. a month. Planters generally pay about
IS a month for wages. and at such rates
they could not prevent loss if they re-
ceived less than cents per pound.
MOrtSaged Before Maturity.
Mt Barrett said that nine-tenths of the
cotton grown was mortgaged before 1t ma
tured Rates of interest and commission
were high. and the merchants We're grad
ually coming into possession of the land.
The banks charge 10 per cent. for money
for three mOathS time.
He advanced the idea that the national
bank act has done vast damage in out
laWing real estate as security Tor money
this act was to the South the most dam
aging legislation that had ever been en-
acted.
The witness said that nearly all the plan
tation labor was done by negroes, and that
there was practically no immigration be
cause of the cheapness of labor and the
soc>al conditions.
The railroad rates were such as to rem
melon growing profitable, and the same
was true of other garden products.
The railroads are both the daddy and
the nanny of the trusts" he asserted.
Mr. Barrett said the census of 1890 had
shown that Augusta, where he lives, was
the most iliterate place in the United
States and he thought the fact was due
to the presence of too much politics in the
schools.
