FREEZING OUT GEORGIA BALES
Carolina Mills Cannot Purchase Cot
ton Here.

In years past Anericus and other
south Georgia towns found.in the Caro-
lima mill districts good market for
their cotton, but high freight rates now
shut out, to great extent, shipments
from this point. As an illustration OF
thls, an Americas buyer said yester-
day that a shipment of cotton could be
laid down in Liverpool, 5000 miles
away, for exactly the same rate charg-
ed to Chester, s o., 800 miles away.
II this is true it works disastrouslY to
the cotton producer and shipper here
and is q matter, seemingly, that de-
mands investigation by the state or

Every prisoner in the Kansas peni-
Tertiary has recently been supplied
with Bible and he is required to read
it daily and to take good care OF 1T.
This is one of the reforms adopted
by Ed Jewett, the new warden. The
object is to try to improve the con-
victs morally while they are in his
charge, and he believes that there is
nothing like Bible reading to accom-
plish that result.

Demand for wheat straw.

The scarcity of hay this season, ow-

mand for wheat straw, of which there
is an abundance. Ordinarily wheat
straw sells for 81 ton, and even then
it is often permitted to rot, but this
summer it is selling for SIS a ton, and
little obtainab1e at that. The farmers
will bale it or house it for feed next
