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 IN A PECULIAR MANNER Following the alleged kidnaping of little Clarice and Helen Avary and the ftcneatlonal street fight Friday between the Avary* and A.
