The Tupelo journal., 1903-12-11

KYEWNAN, GA. July 20-(Special lit is probable that
In the largest single load Of COTTON ever marketed was that
recently brought to Newman by Hon. ) +. Leigh, the
total weight of twenty five bales of feecy staple loaded upon
a single wagon being 1910 ponds. Mr.. Leigh held this
cotton from last falls crop.
TO cart this immense load of cotton to market at a single
haul a platform Of unusual dimentions was necessarily used.
The frame was no less than 80 feet long. In its construction
500 feet of green pine timber was required which weighed
1000 pounds, in addition to the wagon weighing l,4OO les.
When this colossal float was loaded with the product OF one
Of Mr.. Leigh's farms, it represented a total weight of 1880
pounds.
When Mr.. Leigh was preparing to market this remarka-
BILE load of cotton he thought it would be necessary to have
an especially large wagon made for the OCCASION. Upon in
vestigation he found in stock at the White Hickory Wagon
Manufacturing Company's repository in Atlanta one of their
regular "a steel axle wagons, guaranteed capacity 1000
pounds, that he was assured would carry the load. This wag-
on, which is similar to hundreds in use on the streets of At
lanta and in other cities, was required to cary a weight of
O,14O pounds over the weight it was constructed to carry,
and it stood the test without any apparent strain.
The Tupelo journal., 1903-12-11
. PHENOMENAL LOAD OF COTTON.

1t is safe to say that there are few counties ID the state IN
which snch an immense weight could be transported oy team
to market. On account of the improved condition OF the PUT
lie roads in Coweta, however, this huge load OF mefchanoise
was hauled by three yoke of oxen. Few proce soio"F, military
civic or othe, wise, have ever attracted as much attention III
Coweta as did this single float as it passed through the streets
to the warehouse.
Brought Nearly 10 Cents.
The cotton was raised at "~LeightoD," four miles out OF
Newman, and brought 81 cents per ponnd, the check IN pay
ment OF the load being made out for S1,2Sl.l4. Had the
cotton been held only a few days the increase ID price would
have added something like $4O0 to this check. The past sea-
son Mr.. Leigh marketed a couple of bales of long staple cot
ton, for which he received la cents per pound.
s. E. Leigh IS a representative from Coweta IN the pres
ept session of the legislature and is one of the most progress
sive and successful farmers OF the state. HIS farm is con-
Quoted along the most improved scientific plan and is the ad-
miraticn of his %neighbors.
Mr.. Leigh, himself, is most energetic and successful fac
tor and is widely interested in the development OF this
section. He is an earnest advocate OF improved roads
throughout the confines of Georgia and as a convincing
argument points to the value they have been to his home
county.
