AGREE WITH THE COMMISSIONER.
Cotton Men Indorse His Advice to the
Farmers.


The address of Commissioner of Agricul-
ture O. b. Stevens to the farmers Of Geor-
gla on the subject of This Years Cotton
Yield. and the Reasons for Believing Bet
ter Prices VIII Obtain Later on in the
Season" was read with interest in Savan-
nah The interest was mere in the advice
the commissioner gives the farmers, than
II was in his estimate that the cotton crop
will be 900 bales. Guesses on the crop
are becoming little uninteresting in Sa-
vannah.
Many Of the local cotton men agree with
the commissioner thar the price of cotton
will go up later on, though none are pre-
pared TO say when this will be. There
are reasons for believing that Liverpool
spinners viii enter the market in the right
way soon, and this may cause prices to
climb, provided the farmers are in position
to hold on to their cotton.
The suggestion that the people OF the
South should become interested in cotton
mills so that the 70 per cent. of the
worlds crop raised in the South may be
manufactured here meets the favor of
many. There are several business men
interested just now in the building of cot
ton mills In Savannah, and one in partic-
ular. has gone far enough to say he Is
willing TO take stock TO the extent of s.. 900
or 5000 to give an enterprise in this di-
rection n start.

A "DEAD HORSE WAGON.
An Up-tO-Dnte Addition to the Scav-
enger Department.

An Up-tO-Dnte Addition to the Scav-
enger Department.
Public Works Director Gadsden has add
ed another up-to-date vehicle to the pubic
works department The new vehicle is
known as "the dead horse wagon" and is
TO be used for the purpose of hauling away
the dead bodies of horses and other ami
mails. Few people have any idea how fire.
gently the department is called on for this
service. The average is one day, but
one day this week the department was
called upon to remove three horses and
two cows, the latter killed by a locomotive.
The old village style of dragging the dead
animal through the streets by the neck
was abandoned long since and hence the
necessity of securing a wagon specially
equipped fof the work. 1t was found that
a call of this kind meant the stoppage Of
five wagons of the scavenger department
one wagon TO cart away the dead animal
and four drivers of other wagons to help
boost the body into the wagon used. With
the dead horse wagon one man will do
all the work. The wagon has a low plat
form and is equipped with pair of skids
at the rear and winch at the front BY
simply fastening the chain around the
neck OF the defunct animal, and turning
the winch the driver will be able to haul
the carcass upon the platform unassisted.
Strange 10 say, considering the purpose
TO which II Is t. be put the new wagon is
about the neatest looking vehicle to be
found in the citys stables, and Superin-
terdent James MCGUIRE of the scavenger
department is quite proud of it,

stntcd His Position.

Senator Groveustein was seen by a rep
resentative OF the Morning News shortly
after the conference with the Mayor and
himself quite frankly and freely. and was
not at all averse to stating his position
on the questions that are to come before
the Legislature at the next session.
Senator GTcvenstein said that he had
been invited TO meet the Mayor and al
dcrmen, and he had accepted their invi-
tation. The terms Of the invitation had
left it with him TO elect the day he would
choose, and he had selected yesterday
morning as the time of the conference.
The appointment had been made, and he
had come 10 Savannah in accordance with
it. He had simply been asked to meet the
members Of Council and to consult with
them as to matters that regarded the adj
ministration Of the affairs OF the city.
Nothing else was to be allowed 10 enter
into the conference None Of the member RS
Of the Lesisla ure from Chatham had been
asked 70 be present probably and right
iully because the opposing faction thought
they had already been pledged to the op-
posite side in the current political maneu-
vers. Such remarks and ntimations OF
Ike Kind formed the basis of the interview
with Senator Grovenstein.
The Senator went on to say that the 9th
er local bills that had been advertised for
introduction had been discussed at The con-
ference between the members Of Council
ana himself. but that he had been given
to understand that the opinions expressed
had been Individual merely, and that those
