Cotton Burned.

a dispatch from Atlanta, Ca, says
one bale of cotton was burned in the
streets Of Fort Gaines THURSDAY after
noon by farmers OF Clay county, who
set fire to the lescy staple after a
mass meeting in which the cotton
planters Of that county declared they
were willing to burn their interest in
the TWO million bales representing an
excess crop produced in the cotton
states. The burning was accompanied
by great ceremony and followed by
still greater excitement. Much en-
thusiasm was evidenced at the mass
meeting Of the farmers at which this
radical action was planned and adop-
ted. Several speeches were made and
then followed the resolution which
provided that Clay county should take
the initiative and burn the 1000, 900
tales above the normal crop. Other
counties have been asked to follow
this action and In this way rid the
market OF the surplus crop.
