FARMERS TALKED COT ION.
Discussion of Necessity of Baling Re-
form. Classification of Cotton.

Thursday was the cotton day OF the
State Agricultural Society, which was
in session in Quitman last week. The
subject was one of great interest, SINCE
cotton is a favOrite crop with southern
farmers.
DR.. Barrons of Brunswick opened the
discussion with a scholarly paper on
the early history of cotton, showing lts
antiquity and It's position IN commerce
to the present day
C. H. Jordan, agricultural editor OF
the Atlanta Journal, discussed the ne.
cessity for baling reform in a general
way.
Mr.. James Barrett of Augusta read
papers on the subject of the round
bale and advocated the LOwrey system.
On motion, the secretary will request
the press generally to publish the ad-
dress as being important.
Hon. 0. B. Stevens, commissioner OF
agriculture, who had led IN the aglta-
tion for the classification of cotton and
was expected to lead in the discussion
Thursday, was absent. He still suffers
from the effects of bite on the foot by
some insect and was unable to travel.
Assistant Commissioner r. +.
Wright was present and read a paper
representing Mr.. Stevens views on the
uniform classification Of cotton. lie
spoke of the profits of the mlddlemen
in the cotton trade and wished to
eliminate this element and let the pro-
Queer receive this profit. He wishes
to bring the producer and spinner
nearer together, and recommended
onH 0laS fVJnO
cotton on this side Of the water which
should be final. The paper was well
received and was referred to the prop
err committee for publication III the
state press.
REPORT ON BALING COTTON.
The discussion of baling reform was
carried on vigorously and during the
afternoon a warm fight ensued on the
subject. James Barrett, as chairman
of c0mmitte appointed at last years
convention to investigate this question,
submitted the following report:
1--WE. the committee on baling cotton,
beg leave to make the following re-
port: We favor the adoption of sys-
TEN of baling cotton that will eliminate
from the bale jute bagging and iron
ties and prevent the city congresses
getting damages on excessive saml~
ling, waste and tare. We cannot fully
adopt the new system of baling cotton
on the ground that the royalty is ex-
cessive." The committee who made
the report consisted of Mr.. Barrett,
Colonel r. f. CriUtenden and Mr.. j. j.
Easterlin.
The report was opposed, and after a
warm discussion, IN which Mr.. Barrett
ably defended it, it was laid on the ia
BILE by vote of 40 to 3S.
Mrs. W. Fl. FELTON, addressed the
convention and succeeded in having
resolution adopted requesting the legis
lature TO pass state deg law.

The Figures Are 81 Cents ON the ThOus-
and Lower Than Last Year.

The Figures Are 81 Cents the ThOus-
and Lower Than Last Year.
The state tax to be LEVIED for the year
1899 will be five mills and thirty-seven
one hundredths.
The rate for 1898 was six mills and
twenty-one one hundredths.
The tax dgests from the counties
have brought great disappointment to
the comptroller gen erals office, and in
stead of showing the large increase that
was expected the figures are far below
the estimate.
The fact that Futon county loses
nearly four million dollars has practi
caIly destroyed all the gan that was
shown from the dIgests of one hundred
and fourteen counties.
The last general assembly provided
that the rate of taxation creating the
the fund to sustain the state government,
state institutions and the school appro-
priat:on should not be greater than 81
mills. This LIMIT was fixed by law, and
the rate cannot be raised over these fig
ures.
The law provides that sinking fund
of 500, 600 shall be raised every year.
There is no limit of taxation for the
raising of this fund, and any rate can
be levied for this specific purpose, no
matter shat the returns from the cOun-
ties. This year, with the present lax
returns so low, it will be necessary to
levy an additional rate of twenty-seyen
mills, which, added to the 81 rate for
other purposes, makes the rate TO be
levied by the state 5.37, which is $5.37
on the thousand.
what COmpirolIe Wright Says.
Comptroller Wright is disappointed at
the returns from the various counties
which have been heard from
Tax digests from ia counties have
been received at his office, and the total
gain is only S82O,O00--a sum insignifi-
can't when compared to the sum that
was hoped for.
| AS the tax rate must, according to
| law, be lower this year, and as the
property returns must be lower, from
present indications. it is simply ques
ton of arithmetic that the amount OF
money to be collected for all purposes
of expense will be very much less than
| last year.
| 1t means that there will be knife
plunged into all departments wherever
| it is possible to exercise economy.
