JONES AVE.BRIDGE
WILL BE REPLACED
BY THE SOUTHERN
The Southern railroad will, at Its
own expense, replace the Jones avenue
bridge, which collapsed Friday ae the
result of a car of a Southern freight
train slipping the track and striking
the steel pillar that supported the
brldgo.
Alderman II. M. Beutell, chairman
of tho bridges committee of council,
received a lattes from the Southern
Saturday afternoon, stating that this
would be done and that work would
begin Immediately. The bridge cost
originally, In 1818, about 118,000, of
which the Southern paid $5,000, the
Louisville and Nashville (1,080 and the
city the balance.
The probable coet of replacing the
bridge will be In the neighborhood of
120.009.
The Southern agrees further to have
a footbridge across the tracks whera
the bridge etood by Sunday, and by
Tuesday or Wednesday to have It ar
ranged so thut the street care of tho
river line will again ba able to pus and
tepass across It.
SOUTH IS ENTITLED TO
15 CENTS FOR COTTON,
SA YSRICHARD EDMONDS
In Ita Issuo of September 20, The Manufacturers' Record, generally
regarded as authority on industrial matters affecting the South, prints a
lengthy editorial emphasizing tho world-wide Importance of tho Cotton
Spinners’ convention, which Is to be held In Atlanta, October 7-9. Rich
ard Edmonds, editor of Tho Rhcord, Is a recognized export concerning
cotton, and bis remarks on the staple possess an Importance far from
tho ordinary.
In part, Tha Record says;
"The Southern states hold what may practically bo called a world
monopoly on cotton, elnoe thoy produce nearly 80 per cent of the world's
output. Nature has given them this strategic advantage, and, though
England has vigorously struggled for more than three-quarters of a cen
tury to (Ind some other placo In which to rnlso cotton to moke her spinners
less dependent upon the cotton states of America, though parliament has
been actively moving In such an effort for three-uuarters of a century, and
though the government and the cotton spinners of England have never
abandoned thla agitation, It Is universally Recognized that today the South's
domination of cotton production Is stronger than over before. In times past
wo might have feared that~sourcos of cotton production could be found
elsewhere, that other lands could be made competitors with the South, but
the well-informed cotton manufacturer of Europe realizes Just ns fully ns
the people of this country do thnt for the next fifty years at least the
South's supremacy In cotton growing has no competition In sight.
"The world knows that It Is dependent upon the South for Ita supply of
the raw material with which to keep In operation the 172,000.000 spindles
which are now at work and to clothe mankind. With such u monopoly,
fully as great In Its far-reaching Importance as would be thnt monopoly on
coal and Iron which wo have suggested, with tho world's demand for Its cot
ton Increasing more rapidly than ever In tho post, would It not be the
height of business folly—practically business suicide—for this section not
to demand of the world a full and profitable price for Its great staple? And
yet a full price, higher even than what cotton Is commanding today. Is not
by any means exorbitant. It Is absolutely certain that the world could take
the South's cotton crop at 16 cents a pound mtd pass It Into consumption
Just as readily when once adjusted to that basis os It did at 6 or 7 or 8
cents a iiound. Low prices do not always guarantee consumption, and what
we call high prices do not always prevent Increased consumption. TJie
cotton spinners of tho world became so accustomed to the starvation prices
prevailing between 1881 and 1902, when they ranged from an- average of 6
cents for a full year, In 1898-9, to a little less than 9 dents In other years,
that sometimes they seem to hove entirely overlooked the fact that there
were only two periods of low prices In tho history of cotton.
"Ths Manufacturers’ Record believes the South has come to such a re
alisation of the potentialities of cotton and to such a Realization of Its own
strsngth and of Its own ability to turn from cotton growing to other
equally profitable pursuits that never again will Its great ataple over any
length of years bo permitted to soli except at a good profit to the producer.
"Last year one of the English cotton commissioners, while visiting tills
country. In an address urging reasons why the South should not undertake
Co demand high prices for cotton, hut should be content with tho low prices
prevailing some years ago, said that theso advanced prices 'took tho
clothes off the backs of the poorer people In India, who are tho great con
sumers of England's cotton goods.’ In reply the writer expressed regret at
this condition of the poorer people In India, hut added that 'for ten Years'
low-priced cotton has taken the clothes off the backs of tho cotton form
ers of the South, and, with all good friendship for the cotton spinners of
Europe and for the cotton weavers of India If any more undressing has to
be done It will not be by tho cotton producers of the Southern states.
They have nt last come Into their own, and they propose to maintain a price
for cotton which will give them a fair protlt.’
"Ip thjs period of a bpogder realization of business msthods, of a clear
er recognition of tho mutual dependence and Interdependence of all ths
people of the earth, oach- upon the other's prosperity, no greater mistake
could bo made thnn for tho cotton spinners and .cotton consumers • of the
world to believe that their prosperity would be advanced by tho cutting
down of the prosperity of the cotton grower. On tho other hand, the cot.
ton grower, recognising that he holds such a monopoly on on# of the world's
greatest staples, a staple which Is a hosts of ths largest Industrial busi
ness of the world, except Iron and eteel, known that ha Is entitled not to
a meager profit, but to a profit commensurate with the advantagee which
nature hae given to his section and to the value of the Industry which he
create# In the world's betterment. Given such a profit ns this, the Bouth
will Increase Its cotton production us rapidly as the world's demands may
require, whether thoee demands shall 'reach to 18,000,000 or 20,000,000 bales
ten years hence, of to 80,000,000 bales or more, likely to bo required during
the active lifetime of some of the European eptnners who for the first time
LOCATEAVARYCHILDREN

OCTOBER NUMBER
Another big step forward In typo
graphical appearance Is taken by Undo
Remus's Magazine for October, which
Is out Saturday. It Is a beautiful
number. Its dress being In keeping with
the contents, which are exceptionally
good.
Tljo, leading feature .of the number Is
a story In verso by James Whitcomb
Riley, tho most popular of living poets,
Mr, Riley has told "The Hired Man’s
Dog Story,” which Is the most Impor
tant pleco of work he has done since
"The Rublayat of Doc 8lfers." The
poem Is superbly Illustrated by R. J.
Dean. Here la the Introduction to the
story:
"Dogs, I contend, to Jes' about
Nigh human—git 'em studied outl
I hold, like us, they’ve got their own
Reasonin' powers 'at's theirs alone—
Same ns their tricks and habits, too,
Provln’, by lots o' things they do.
That Instinct's not the only thing
That dogs Is governed by. I Jlngl—
And I'll say, furder, on that line.
And prove It, that they'* dogs a plenty
Will show Intelligence as line
As ary ten men out o' twenty!”
Which Is a statement to which all
lovers of doge will subscribe.
The contributions of Joel Chandler
Harris show his remarkable versatility.
They Include a rattling good Uncle

which tells how Brer Rabbit once again
