ETOWAH MAKES A
 COTTON RECORD
Gadsden Business Men Will Support AttalIa in Depot QuestiOn-TO
 Build New Bridge

Gadsden, January 16.-(Special. )-The cotton report of the United States cen sus bureau just issued shows that nearly 12000 bales of cotton have been ginned in this county the past season. This is more than 1000 bales more than were ginned a year ago. The farmers for long time contended that the crop this year would be fully as short as last year but the official figures set at rest all controversy on the matter There is very little of this cotton left in the hands of the farmers. The price has been quite satisfactory and the farmers disposed of their holdings at an average price of II cents. This makes the crop a satisfactory one for the aver age grower and the result will be that the planting this coming season will in all likelihood be fully as heavy as hereto fore if there is not in fact an increase in the acreage.
 The Attalla Commercial club, which some time ago petite ned the Alabama Great Southern railroad for better depot facilities in that city, has had it's petition denied. The officials of the road maintain that the facilities furnished are adequate and as good as the traffic realized justi- nes. It is probable that the club will now take some more aggressive steps to bring about change in the depot, and the Business Mems club of this city may join in the movement, as a great deal of the travel to and from this city Is compelled to go by way of that city.
 The Louisville and Nashville railroad is delivering material here for the purpose of rebuilding the approaches to the river bridge across the Coosa river at this point. The steel portion of the bridge was entirely rebuilt last year and this is now one of the best bridges in the state. All the woodwork of the approaches is to be creosoted and the roadway is then to be slagged for the laying of the tracks and for the travel of the public, which is also accommodated on this structure. The rebuilding of the wooden part of the bridge will take several months and the work will be begun as soon as the season of high water is past.
 The Queen City Guards and the Albert vile Rifles left this city yesterday about noon for the capital to participate in the inaugural of the new governor today. Some 25 of the Guards and 30 of the Rifles were in the party. Captain Camp bell of the Guards was unable to take charge of his company and turned the boys over to the command of the captain of the Albertville company. The soldier boys are expecting to return home some time tomorrow.
