MR.. LOWERS BIG COTTON CROP.
Will Offer Today Hundred and Fifty
Bales,

Mr.. w. P. lowers, one of the most
extensive as we'll as successful farmers
in south Georgia, was IN Americas yes
terday to look after the sale of his last
years crop of cotton. Unlike many
other farmers, Mr.. lowers is never in
a hurry to sell his cotton and usually
holds 1t in bulk until spring or sum-
mer and then disposes of the entire
lot at once. 1t is not every farmer in
Georgia, unfortunately, who can do
this, aud Mr.. lowers attributes his
ability in that direction to the fact
that, instead of buying corn, meat and
provisions, he sells more of this to
Americas merchants than is consumed
on his big plantation, where he raises
plenty of it. He has now on hand $50
bales of fine cotton which he Will sell
today or tomorrow.
