SYSTEM OF DAMS AND
 LOCKS MEANS MUCH
Joint River and Harbor Committee of Mobile Commercial Bodies
 Adopts Resolutions.

Mobile, March 25.-(Special.) )-The fol- lowing resolutions have been adopted bg the joint river and harbor committee of the cotton exchange and chamber of com meree of this city:
 Resolved. 1. That this committee regards the system of locks and dams in course of construction upon the Warrior and Tombigbee rivers, under appropriations made by the congress of the United States. as of inealcuable importance and advantage to the whole state of Alabama and particularly to the mineral and agri- cultural portions of the state that border upon or are near to those rivers. They will not only give facilities for the cheap transportation of iron and steel products. coal, coke and lumber to the sea for ex- port. but will insure cheaper Iranspor- tation to market for the whole year to cotton and all other agricultural products and to the farmer for all supplies which he buys. benefttng in double way every farmer within their reacn.
 2. That in the judgment of the commit tee, founded upon reports of able en- gineers who have devoted their lives to such waterways and upon comparison with the practical workings of similar improvements upon streams carrying an immense coal commerce, such locks are fully adequate to all demands that the commerce of these rivers will make upon them in the next fifty years.
 Any course which tends to retard the completion of the system as projected will work untold harm, for 1t cannot be req sonably expected that congress will make acvmbgwkypj avbgkqjfiudarsdona abandon work which has cost an i'm mense sum of money, and forthwith pro- ceed to replace 1t with another system at a greatly larger cost
 To condemn and stop the work now be- ing carried on would inevitably mean an
