er, a Chicago man. had approached him
at his office in Mobile about two weeks
ago and said he wanted TO buy the Mo-
bile and Ohio for the Illinois Central.
Il told him l did not own the road l."

possible for him to buy The road except
through the active cooperation of w.

LUMBER MILL WAS BURNED,
Destruction of Several Railroad Car.
Narrowly Averted.

Abbeville, Ga, jan 25-The extensive
plant of the Gress Lumber Company, at
Kraemer. five miles west of here, was
partly destroyed by fire at 1880 o'clock last
night. The saw mill and the shingle mill
were both burned down, but the planning
mill escaped. About 10000 feet of lumber
lying near the track of the Georgia and
Alabama Railroad was wiped up by the
names, and the destruction of several
loaded cars was only averted by wiring
TO Abbeville for an engine to pull them
out of the reach of fire.
The amount of the loss cannot be ascer-
tained at this time but it was undoubted-
~ heavy, as the saw mill was one of the
largest in this section. The plant is re-
ported to have been pretty fully covered
by insurance.
The fire, it is said originated in the en-
CINE room of the saw mill, and was caus-
ed by a hot box.

IL CENTS A POUND FOR COTTON.
Seven Bales Raised From Half Dozen Seed
Cultivated by Woman.
augusta Chronicle,


A story of crop, raised by woman
in Barnwell county, was told reporter
of the Chronicle yesterday which is sim
ply a marvel. A few years ago Mrs w
Gilmore Simms, of BarnwcI, got about
half dozen seeds from some choice kind
OF cotton raised in Mississippi. These few
seeds she planted I'll er gard n aud
fro..n the cotton raised on the stalks pro-
duced by these seeds she saved riore
and repeated the operation until she
had enough to plant a considerable spot.
The cotton which the seed made, and
especially under her special cultivation
from the start, was long staple of silky
fleece. She saved enough of the seed last
year off Of which to raise seven bales
this year. She sent samples of the cotton
to Augusta to get prices on, and she
was offered what was then the top Of the
market here, something like Z Hr IA
cents. She was not satisfied with the
price and sent samples of the cotton to
Boston, where she succeeded in ge,tins
the largest price paid this year for COZ =
ton at any place in the whole United
States.
The following is a clipping from the
paper Published in the town where she
lives; and the other from one of the big
daily papers of the South:
''As proft-making cotton grower
Mrs. w. Gilmore Simms is the queen OF
the South. From six and a quarter
acres seven bales of fine staple were
gathered last fall. AT least a couple
of bales were lost through the density
of growth. On the 1st instant her cror
was sold in Boston at IA cents a p0lad
the highest price reported in the Uni
ted States this season.
Mrs. w. Gilmore Simms, it is report
ed from Barnwell, has Just sold sever
bales of cotton in Boston at IA cents &
pound--or at the rate of more thar
500 an acre" for her crop, inclu linz
the seed sold. Farmers generally who
are addicted to cotton growing would dc
well to cultivate the same variety-ol
quality
Mrs. Simms is quite proud of her sue
cess and expects to realize a neat sun
from the sale of the seed from the sever
| bales which she marketed the LIST o

Two suits were brought in Rowan Su-
perior court since the passage of the
Craig act against the Southern Railway
Company. One by the widow of Captain
Nearwery who was killed by an over
head bridge just above Salisbury and
the other by Mrs. Walton, administrator,
wife of Engineer Walton, who was killed
at his post while running his engine.

ably to provisions of the 'Craige act.
