Sh ID ,'rg pricrs at Macon
Macon TELEGRAPH.

From the Macon Telegraph.
1t is evident that the Macon cotton mill
managers are satisfied that cotton will not
be any lower this season than it is now
that, in fact. it will be higher. AS stated
in dispatches they have given orders
to buy a full seasons stock at shipside
prices They will be fortunate if they get
all they want at prices which are now pre-
vailing at the ports.
At no time since the beginning of the
season have shrewd observers among cot
ton men believed that the cotton crop of
this season would be as large as that of
last season. Reports from this state and
the Carolinas have not been of an encour-
aging character, while those from the
southwest have not justified expectations of
an average yield.
Against the prospect of a smaller crop
than that of last year is the certainty of
a greater demand for cotton goods. In
all parts of this country the cotton mills
are running on full time, and they are
not able to keep up with their orders. This
shows that times are better, and that con-
sequently the demand for cotton goods is
greater. With a greater demand and
smaller supply of cotton there Is every rea-
son for thinking that the price of cotton
will go higher.
There has been very considerable adj
days How much higher it will go 1t is
impossible of course to predict with any
degree of certainty The Indications are
SUCH however, that the cotton growers
could hardly make a mistake by holding
their cotton for while.
If business throughout the country con-
tinues to be as prosperous as 1t is at pres
ent the price of cotton Is bound to go high
er even If later it should develop that the
crop is larger than it is now supposed to
be- The increased demand is bound to affect
the price favorably. In good times the de-
mand for cotton goods is larger of course
than it is in times of depression People
have more money to spend and some of
the surplus helps to increase the demand
for cotton goods. 1t would be great thing
for the south If mfddling cotton should sell
at cents by the first of October. If
considerable rise is to come 1t Is to be
hoped it will come before all of the cotton
gets out of the hands of the growers.

ference OF many millions of dollars ter the

Negroes In Southern Mills

From the Boston Journal of Commerce.
A dispatch from Charlotte, n. c., states
that the Ashley silk mill, recently removed
from New Jersey to Fayetteville, y. c.,
will employ negro labor A colored man
from Pennsylvania, 1t is stated has recent
ly arrived there who Is to become superin-
tendent of the mill. and has begun can
vassng among the negroes for opera tives.
The mill is reported to be a fine structure,
and will be ready for operation in short
time. AS there are said to be scores of
colored people to be found ON the streets
of Fayetteville who do not labor one day
in a month, there would seem to be an
abundance of raw labor material to draw
from If 1t can only be utilized. If the ne
gro can be taught to spin silk successfully
there can be no further doubt of his abili-
ty to spin cotton The parties who are
making the experiment must be thoroughly
convinced that there is latent adaptation
in the negro for this kind of work which
he is expected to do that is lying dormant
somewhere, and which only needs the op-
pcrtunty to-be aroused to develop into the
successful mill operative.
The cotton mill at Charleston, S. c.,
which has been experimenting for some
months with negro help, ought by this time
TO have demonstrated whether it can be
profitaby employed or not. Tt ought not
to take many months to determine this
fact. Negroes, under competent white d.
rection, may be taught to spin and weave
Undoubtedly they can-at least the most
capable of tllem-but we think 1t will still
remain am open question whether the cost
in bad work and expense of superin tend
ence will not more than offset any cheap
ness in the price of labor.
The Coleman Cotton Mill company, at
Concord. N. c., it is stated, Is installing
spinning machinery, and will soon start
its mill with a force of negro operatives.

THE LIVE STOCK ASSOCIATION.
Will Discuss the Proposed Lease Law and
Other Mattars

Fort Worth, Tex, December 15.--Ar-
rangements for the meeting of the Ma
tional Live Stock Association January
Is are being rapidly completed. The at
tendance from the north and northwest
promises to be very large. One of the
most important subjects to be consid-
cred is that of leasing the public graz
ing lands to stockmen. At the Denver
convention the proposition was to have
the arid lands ceded to the states, but
this was 50 strongly opposed by ranch
men, led by Senator Carey, Of Wyo-
ming, that the resolution failed to pass.
This time it will come up in the form of
a resolution favoring the leasing of
stockmen who are citizens, on long
leases, at low rental, but under such
governmental control and supervision
as will protect the actual settlers and
tracts by corporations.
Another subject that will cause much
discussion Is the question Of permitting
sheep to Craze on forest reservations.
Railroad matters will also be discussed.
The question: of expectation of live
stock through Texas ports and the gulf
Of Mexico will attract attention, as the
western stockmen are interested in the
development Of the livestock movement
through the western tidewater ports,

trips per month between Brownsville
and Rio Grande City, a distance OF
about 120 miles. 1t was shown that this
old scow had an experience on nearly
every trip of running, not once, but
many times, on the bars and shadows OF
the river and that an apparatus was
carried along to excavate her on such
occasions. 1t was also shown that there
are many rivers and streams feeding
the lower river, and that in late years
much Of the water of these feeders has
been diverted by new irrigation
schemes.
All Of these witnesses expressed an
opinion that the mpounding Of the wa
ters Of the river at Elephant Butte and
its diversion for irrigation would i'm
pair the navigability Of the lower Rio
Grande; but they did not impress those
who heard their testimony as having
any reasonable basis for such opinion.
Hon. w. A. Hawkins is subjecting
each witness to a searching examina.
ton, and he Is handling the case in a
thoroughly lawyer-like manner. Mr.
Hawkins clearly has informed himself
thoroughly on every aspect of the case,
and has shown surprising familiarity
with the topography and character of
the country under investigation. The
case is in good hands, and the people of
the territory may rest assured that
their interests will be well presented. 1t
is understood that the government has
some three or four other witnesses to
be examined, and then the defense will
have it's innings with it's witnesses,
some ten in number, among whom are
some of the greatest irrigation experts
in the west. At the rate the case Is now

perhaps ten days, before it is closed,

fully 300 head of sheep. A whole herd
Of 1000 head left the bed ground in the
night while the rain was falling, and
after travelling about four miles were
attacked by wolves and scattered in ev-
cry direction. If Miller had not been
so fortunate as to have about ten men
where he could utilize them the second
day after the herd got lost, In securing
the whole country and gathering them,
he would no doubt have lost half the
herd. AS it was, his loss amounts to
about $1,000 with wool at the present
figure.
