"WHAT THE INDEPENDENT

The Reno Journal copies the INDIE

Effort to Put Up the
Price Of Cotton. :

La Grange. Sept. 6.-At . mass
meeting OF Troup county planters,
merchants and bankers held here
yesterday they showed determi-
nation 10 control the price OF cotton.
A set of resolutions were passed IN
which they said:
81. The present crop shall not
be put on the market for q price
less than 8 cents per pound.
''Therc is no such thing as over
production Of cotton while more
than half the human family is in
rags and tatters, as . result Of ar
rested distribution.
- Until that price is reached,
the bankers aud merchants are to
advance snch amount on all cotton
received ty :hem as will meet i'm
mediste demands for the farmer
storing said cotton in the warehouse,
and as security holds the writs Of
such cotton until q sale lie deemed
advisable.
1--WE therefore call on the far
mers OF Georgia and every cotton
growing country in the South to
meet at once and organize similar
associations and force the price Of
our principal product to that figure
which will remunerate the indus
trial classes"
The press OF the South is called
upon to assist. in the movement.

New Basin Canal.
The Board of Control Decides to
Widen Its Mouth.

At a regula, monthly meeting of
the Board of Control of the New
Basin Canal and shell road. last
week, it was decided to widen the
mouth of the canal. Under the
existing conditions, 1T is almost i'm
possible for the large schooners to
pass safely in or out Of the canal.
If there is a stiff breeze blowing
it is very dangerous, and the cap
tains of the vesaels take risks when
they attempt to make the run IN
the canal. 10 widen the mouth the
west back of the canal will have to
be extended several hundred feet.
The secretary was instructed to
advertise for bids for 400 feet of
sheet piling and the removal of the
present revetment.
