APALACHICOLA PORT PROMISES
A NEW FIELD FOR TRANS
PORFATToN OF COTTON
OPENBEFOREN NEXT SEASON
This Port WIN Be An Important One
And Is Now Receiving Con-
siderable AttentiOn
Jacksonville Metropolis

Three hundred thousand bales of
cotton win be handled by the city of
Apalachicola. Fla. when the work on
the harbor and pass to the Gulf is
completed Not bale is shipped from
that city now. though it is at the out
let of system of rivers that traverse
the heart Of the cotton belt. The
loss win be felt by Savannah. Bruns-
wick and Mobile.
II is now expected that the harbor
at Apalachicola viii be opened be-
fore the next cotton season, owing to
the successful work being done BY
the Board Of Trade of Columbus. This
organization now has excellent pros
poets for securing for the Chattaho-
chez river a part Of the 50, 000, 900
appropriated by the government for
improving and protecting the Apala-
chan system of rivers.
The great cotton mills of Column
bus, together with the other indust-
ries of that Georgia city, are back Of
the movement to open the port at
ApalachicOla, in order that an all
water route, by way of the Chatta-
hoochee river and the Apalachicola
harbor, may be secured to the central
and western States, to Cuba and the
South American countries.
A channel seventeen feet deep was
made in the west pass of the harbor
at Apalachicola in 1901, when over
5000 cubic yards of sand were re-
moved from the pass to the Gulf.
With an additional 100000 cubic
yards removed from the pass and the
harbor, sea-going vessels will be able
to reach the wharfs at ApalachicoIa,
where the Chattahoochee river steam
ers tie up.
The Congressional committee on
rivers and harbors visited Columbus
IN March to inspect the Chattahoochee
river, its tremendous water power
st Columbus and the facilities
furnished for navigation. This body,
which includes Congressman Hep
burn, of Iowa, will go to Columbus
this fall to settle the project approved
by the government board of engi-
neers, to open the pass, and give
ApalachieOla and Columbus the ad-
vantages of a seaport city.

was L. J. Price, postmaster and keep
er of store at the junction of the
JOnesborO and McDOnough roads.
Prices store was closed by the militia
after being searched. Several cans
of gunpOwder were found. Price was
charged with furnishing arms and
ammunition to the negroes and is
held in Jail.
The troops are still on duty at
Brownville and in the surrounding
country, and SIX additional arrests
were made this morning of men sup
posed to have been implicated in the
shooting of the officers last night.

who killed Policeman Heard.
Two negroes, Will Moreland and
James Flocher, were shot to death
at o'clock this morning by City
Policemen c. H. Maddox and P. c..
Smith. The officers themselves came
near being killed by the negroes.

upon passing white persons. The
negroes fired several shots at the
policemen and finally got together in
a back room. The policemen charg-
ed the house and as they did one of
the negroes poked his pistol out the
door and fred in Maddox's face. He
lodged just quick enough to avoid
the bullet.
Firing through the crack in the
door Maddox killed one of the ne
groes and short work was made of
the other as he was trying to fire
his pistol through a crack.
Sam Magruder, one of the negroes
shot by a mob on Park Commission
er Manley's porch last night, died to-
day. This brings the known death
list up to eighteen since the rioting
began.

afternoon and in accordance with the
request of citizens revoked the Icen-

to start suit against the state prison au-
thorities for employing convicts at the Mar
Quette prison IN the manufacture Of cigars
Mr.. Lihle says: I'VE propose to show that
the constitution Of the state is being openly
violated by the prison authorities to the
detriment OF not only the free labor
manufacturers, who are paying living
wages to the free laborer, and having to sell
their product In competition with convict
labor, which Is purchased by the prison
contractors for less than coolie labor"
The contractors of Mobile, Ala, declared

trial of the open shop" sent for his
union workmen and put them back in their
places. The unions in the building trades
will stubborfly contest the ground, and
will refuse to work on building with q
man who has not union card to show
when called for.

Mine Workers Of America, will remain at
