veto of the bill making an appropria-
ton to pay the bounties earned under
the beet sugar bounty law was to-day
called up in the House, and after an

STATE COTTON cLAssERs.
The Views of Mr.. j. p. Williams
Highly Approved.


Savannah, Ga, May 17.-Editor
Morning News: II is with the
keenest interest, 1 daresay, that every
member of. our Cotton Exchange read
about the probability of action being tax
en- by the next legislature for the pur-
pose of regulating the cotton business in
this state, The very able. remarks of Mr.
J. p. Williams in your to-day's issue have
created wide comment, both for the fea-
sibility of his suggestions, and the likeli-
hood of beneftng the farmer. There is
no doubt that the farmer does not get
the value of his labor at present, and he
certainly never gains anything by irregu-
larities peTpetrated in or on the trade in
staple like cotton.
/ therefore believe there is not an ex-
porter in town who VIII not readily fan
in with MIR. Williams suggest tions, to pay
for purchases sent down from the country
on the strength Of certificates from sworn
official classers at Savannah and 10 ac-
cept these classuicauons as final This
would give the business a stable basis,
ana on this basis the expul lIer could work
and suit his transatlantic customers, ac-
cordlng to their various exchanges and
views. The sum of reclamatons mention
ed is, of course, very heavy, but perhaps
less in reality Than apparent on the sur
face. II is well enough known that as
the differences between the different
classes widen, the scanter the grades be-
come. For instance, prices to-day are
as follows.
Low middling f. 0. b.. 5ls.
Fully low m!ddiiug, fob 57s. difference
between low middling and fully low mid
ding, Ac.
Middling, fob, difference between fully
low middling and middling 2sc.
Fully middling, fob. 1-16. difference
between middling and fully middllug slice
Good middling, fob, 8 7-I6. difference
between fully middling and good middIns
2sc.
Fully good middlng. fob, 81. difference
between good middling and fully good mid
ding, 5-16c.
Middling fair fob, "a, difference be-
tween fully good mlddling and middliug
fair 1ac
Or, in other words, 81 . to 81. 80 per bale
between each half grade.
The foreign buyers have to paw these
differences 10 the brokers, so that a claim
OF Sl.50 per bale would not always mean
difference of inferiority of even half a
grade. But, apart from this, the sdg-
gest.ons of Mr.. Williams are unGuestiona-
bly, good, and are highly to be compounded
The exporters will not then have 10 pay
against interior railroad bills lading for
cotton which they might never get. and
as matter Of fact, some OF them never
did get The grades would be settled here
at The ports by sworn American classers
and the cotton paid for accordingly and
that would settle matters as far as the
seller on this side is concerned.
This seems to be an equitable proceed
ing, and no doubt every exporter will join
in the efforts of Mr. Williams TO help the
farmer in this way, and take from the
American shipper the risk of claims from
Europe. tx"

sOUTHERN.s SAVANNAH LINE.
The Roads Which viii Compose a
Part of 1t.

ParU OF IT.
The Morning News announced yesterday
in it's Charleston dispatches the formal
sale of the Carolina Midland Railroad to
the Southern, and the fact that it will in
all probability be a part of The South
erns new line from Columbia to Savan-
nah The News and Courier says of the
meeting of the Southern Investment Com
pany stockholders, al which the formal
sale of the road was effected, that il was
purely perfunctory, as all the details of
the sale had been arranged by George
Wagner in the Office of President Spencer
of the Southern Railway, n New York,
several weeks ago, and the principal
stockholders whom he represented were
in full possession of all the facts in the
case, and had already agreed 10 them. B.
l.. Abney represented the Southern in the
transaction.
The acquisition of the Carolina Midland
by the Southern is an important move in
the game of the great system to get TO Sa
vannah, and il will not be very long before
the tourist trains of the Southern are
competing with the Atlantic Coast Line
and eaboard Air Line over It's own
tracks into the Georgia seaport and
thence over independent lines to Florida.
The purchase includes two roads, which
are commonly called Dy one name, the
Carolina Midland. The roads are really
the Seivern and Knoxville, which runs
from Seivern to Batesburg and the Caro-
Ina Midland which operates between Al
lendale and Batesburg. The two roads ag-
gregate seVenty-two miles. To complete
The road to Savannah it will be necessary
TO build about 100 miles; thirty from Sci
vern TO Columbia, and about seventy from
Anendale to Savannah. The survey from
Columbia toward Seivern has been al
most completed under the personal super
vision of Engineer Welles of the South
ern, and will from now on be pushed with
greater rapidity than heretofore. The sur

Clifford Mitchell, a negro driver for
Decker & Sheftau. was arrested last night
Joy Policeman Coffee. He is charged with
assault with intent to murder. His in
tended victim is his wife, jamie Mitchell
The quarrel that came so near ending IA
tally occurred in the house occupied by
Mitchell at Fourth street and the Ogee-
caee road.
From the story of the witnesses it seems
that Mitchell went 10 his home Just before
The assauit occurred and asked his wife,
in neremptory tones. to prepare and give
him his supper. Her response was not as
I.cuo, as he thought his marital rights
entitled him TO expect, and he caught her
ny the throat and, pulling her from the
lounge on which she was lying, pulled her
around the room and struck her several
brutal blows in the face and body. The
assault was continued for some minutes,
when the woman managed TO jerk herself
loose from the grasp of her husband, and
ran, yelling and screaming for help, to the
door Of the house.
Some Of the neighbors heard her cries
and rushed TO her assistance. While the
women were looking after the wife, the
men caught the husband and held him
until the arrival of Policeman Coffee, who
came up shortly afterwards. He arrested
the negro and carried him to the nearest
Game Wen box, where he telephoned for the
wagon and had Mitchell sent to the sta
ton house, and a charge of assault with
intent to murder preferred against him.
jamie Mitchell, the woman who had been
assaulted by her husband seemed to have
received severe injuries and a physician
was summoned. The woman had been
left by her assailant in a dangerous condi-
ton and her injuries. from the beating and
choking She received are believed to be
serious They are not, however, thought
to be fatal, and il is expected that she will
recover.
