seaboard and the excellent facilities at
Brunswick.
Notwithstanding the rapidity with
which the shipping of Brunswick has
increased of late years, the federal
government has appropriated until the
present year only $4,000 annually for
its improvement, a small fraction or
the sum annually spent upon the port
of Savannah. This year the govern
ment will spend $l67, 900, principally
In surveying and dredging the bar.
The inner harbor is naturally OF sutfi'
cient depth to accommodate an almost
unlimited number of ocean going ves-
sells.
The plant of the Mohawk Valley
Steel and Wire Co., which lately re-
moved to Brunswick, is now under
construction only a short distance
from the water. This company will
give the Brunswick and Birmingham
the haul of 1900 tons of freight day
from the Birmingham district. The
railroad contributed $4,000 to the
bonus which the city gave the Mohawk
company.
1t is learned from trustworthy
source that several times negotiations
for the sale OF the road to trust com
pany supposed to represent one or
more of the larger roads have reached
an advanced stage only to fall through.
1t is felt here that an important an
nouncement will be made within a
very few days.

GEORGIA'S PRODUCTS.
Interesting Statistics Showing
the Value of Farm and AMI
NAL Products.

The total value of all animals on
farms in the United States in 1898 was
So, us, 1865, SOL. The crops were worth
50, 9S8, 7O4,41 The live stock con.
sumed 1914, $40, GIG worth of provender
of every description, while S2,023, 1884,
1876 represents the value OF crops
marketed and kept for the use OF pro-
ducers. Farm and animal products
represent the wealth, the bone and
slnew of the majority of our southern
states. These products feed the en-
tire country aud find their ways to
foreign shores. Therefore infOrma-
ton concerning them must prove of
interest to the public.
Georgia's output of all farm pro-
ducts for 1899 was valued at SlO4, 3O4,-
476. Live stock consumed Sl2, 1853, 800
of these products, while $92, 49, SIG
represents the value of those marketed.
All animal products in Georgia were
worth $17 ,959, 1873; forest products, 3d.
PIT, ll9; all crops, 1873, l28, pa; acres of
all crops, 8,4l2,907. 1t will emphasize
what Georgia is doing in an agricul-
tural way to compare the figures given
with another southern state.
The valuation Of all farm products
in Tennessee is given at Slo6, l66, 44O.
Live stock consumed $28, 430,310 of
this product. That states animal pro-
ducts were valued at $50, 42l, 1873; forest
IS, O86, 624; crops, $65, 65S, 6l8; acres of all
crops, 6890,550. 1t will be noticed
that Georgia only exceeds Tennessee
in the value and acreage of all crops.
In the value OF all farm products,
amount fed to live stock, animal and
forest products, Tennessee has a good
lead over our state. 1t is somewhat
surprising Georgia should be so much
behind Tennessee in the value of forest
products, when we consider the rela-
tive size of the two states. We have
II, 230 more square miles than our sis
ter state, an area larger than New
Hampshire and New Jersey combined.
We exceeded Tennessee, too, by 2OO,-
900 10 population.

ANXIOUS TO GRIP THE CROP.
Oil Magnates Backing Both Sides
in the Cotton Fight.

The preset cotton situation is
matter OF general interest in the south
and the "battle of the giants" SullV
and Price, one the leader of the bulls
and the other of the bear faction, keeps
excitement at high pitch. AS no one
here is Sin the game" little is cared
lust which side triumphs.
But back of this struggle Of the levi
athans is matter in which the whole
south is commonwealth control Of the
cotton crops in future.
Behind this and the coming CONSOLE
dation of various cotton product COM
panies ARE Standard Oil men, whose
representatives are backing both sides
OF the market, and seeking to carry out
plans which the Standard Oil Company
has had for years under consideration,
that of controlling the cotton crop OF
the country through the improved bal.
ing process.
Sully, the big cotton bull, is a pro-
tege of General S. NJ. Webb, of Boston,
father of the Planters Compress Com
pany, and Sully's broker in cotton ex.
change transactions.
Prices hacker is A. G. Burrage, Of
Boston, Standard Oil man, who has
just been elected director in Planters
Compress. Burrage backed Price in
cotton last year and profited $1,000, 900
by the deal.
Burrage is friend of H. H. Rogers,
another Standard Oil magnate, who
has an interest in Planters Compress,
and they are working to secure con-
troll of the American cotton trade.
The scheme of the Standard Oil peo-
pie includes control not only of the
raw cotton but of all cotton products.

A Word to
Nursing
Mothers

1t is a we'll known clinical fact
that babies who depend wholly on
mother milk never have cholera,
and are exempt from two-thlrds
the ailments which afflict infants.
Some inkling to this has checked
the resort to artificial foods and
begun to make it good form " for
every mother to nurse her own
baby - when she can.
Some tEy it, and grow weak and
sick under the strain. With
Others the milk flow is insufficient,
and the poor baby is at last given
over to the tender merCies of the
milkman with his corn fodder, and
stale slops, and worse.
If any mother within ten miles
of our store reads this, we want to
give them a hint. Try Ninol.
There are many mothers who have
found that it enabled them to take
more nourishment, restored their
strength, and made baby healthy,
hearty, and happy.
Vinol not only supports the
mothers strength but transmits
TO the babe the foundation for a
healthy childhood.
Vinol contains no dangerous
drugs. We are willing to tell you
just what is in it and give you the
money back if it don't help you
Don't doubt, try it.

The Peach Outlook.

Prof. W. NJ. Scott, state entomoligst,
who has returned to Atlanta from a
visit to Marshalville and Fort Valley,
states that the peach trees are fairly
we'll covered with blooms, and that
there will be as many crates of peaches
shipped from there this year as last,
if it does not freeze again. The fruit
growers are very uneasy down there, .
continued Prof. Scott, "for they know
another freeze now or a little later
will mean total destruction of the crop,
for this warm weather is causing the
trees to bloom so fast"

The New York Commercial prints
the following dispatch from Bruins
wick. Ca:
The decision of j. F. Morgan TO re-
main at Jekyl Island for several days.
while ostensibly based wholly on con-
siderations of pleasure and recreation,
is taken in many quarters as having an
important bearing on one OF the most
difficult railroad problems in the
southeast. Although no official infor-
nation is forthcoming, there are rea-
sons for helieYing Mr.. Morgan was
called in by conflicting railroad inter-
ests TO settle the control not only OF
railroad but also of a very important
seaport.
1t is known that the Southern, the
Seaboard Air Line and the Atlantic
Coast Line are all anxious to purchase
the Brunswick and Birmingham. and
have made repeated and increasing Of
fers for the property. 1t is understood
that as yet all of these offers have
been refused.
Failing to obtain the road each OF
the larger groups of railroad interests
has made persistent attempts TO dis
cover the source OF the hnanclaI
strength of the company, which does
not appear TO contain any wealthy
men. A suspicion exists among the
would be purchasers that one of their
number is guilty of indirection and is
secretly developing the property. If
so the ruse is a successful one, as the
promoters have met with very little
opposition from any of the three big
roads which hope to own or divide 1t.
Because of its low grade and direct
route from the coal and iron region OF
Birmingham to the coast the Bruins
wick aud Birmingham road would form
an important link in any of the three
systems. In addition, it becomes OF
Importance to the Rock Island since
the absorption of the Frisco in con-
nection with the Rock Islands ambi-
tion to "dip its nose into salt water"
The other routes from Birmingham to
the coast are from IL to 200 miles
longer.
The simultaneous presence OF Presi-
idents Erwin, Williams and Spencer
in this city just at the time of Mr..
Morgan's arrival gave rise to the re-
port that having failed to determine
the source of the Brunswick and Bir-
mingham's secret support, and pre-
ferring joint occupation of the prop
erty to open hostilities, these railroad
leaders of the south had asked Mr..
Morgan to open negotiations for the
road with a view to settling it's con-
tr0l.
There was frequent Geographic
communication last night and today
between the railroad officials in this
city and persons in New York, but the
former are reticent as to the purport
of it.
The impression prevails here chat
the larger roads may have become
fearful not only of each other, but also
of the aggressions of the Goulds, mas
much as by building across from Alex
andria or some other important point
on the Texas and Pacific to cOnnec-
ton with the Brunswick and Birming-
ham the Gould system would come in
TO control of an outlet on the Atlantic
