This case is one concerning inter

$59.

| they gel no hack haul of the finished
product by sending cars of cotton
seed to South Carolina, while If the
cotton seed was billed for Augusta
plants, they would get the haul Of the
cotton seed oil over their line The
| Central of Georgia have no throng, l
rale and division on cotton seed 10
t ('Selina stations. The road claims
that it. Is not to their Interests to ship
■ eofton seed to Carolina, and believe
that such is against local industries,
On the refusal of the Central of
Georgia to send the car In queston
through the case arose, The Broker
age company claimed that it cost from
i to $5.00 per car to transfer the
j cotton seed at Augusta.

I dered for $3,005, of which $5 was'for
! actual damages, the balance for puni
t.ve damages. ,

A Case in Which the Fleecy Went
Away and the Owner is Much Per
turbed Over the Loss.
He turned ids back for a moment,
\ and, 10, the cotton was gone.
This is the experience of a gentle
man from the Wilkes county district

of a rare growth of the fleecy. He
had the cotton In the Albion hotel
lobby and there were several who
were taking a good deal of Interest
In this fleecy, and then this gentle
man from Wilkes county went to an
I other part, of the hotel, and when he
came back 'he cotton was gone.
He at once went to the police and
told his troubles, and Sergeant Me
j Ardle was sent, to investigate the
matter.
ft is said that the cotton was not
stolen, hut that some of the hoys In
the matter of a joke hid the fleecy,
and that the gentleman from Wilkes

GAEL IS MADE
Council Committee and Former Low
est Bidder Could Not Come to an
Agreement as to Prices for Proposed
Work.
New bidding has been ordered on
the brick paving: Mclntosh, Ellis to
Fenwick; Mclntosh, Broad to Reyi
nolds, Reynolds, Washington to
Mclntosh.
Bids were asked some time ago on
this work. The Georgia Vitrified Brick
and Clay company were the lowest,
bidders at sl.Bl. The streets and
drains committer of council hesitated.
A prior contract of like kind had
been executed at $1.41. They offered
the work to the lowest bidder at $1.50.
The company declined to undertake
the work at that, price, hut, agreed to
compromise on $1.58. The committee
declined this proposition and ordered
| new bidding.
During the meeting It was stated
that the Augusta company had sold
brick to a Florida private contractor
at n low figure- a figure so low that,
ilike sale In like manner and at like
price In Augusta would mean saving
of money to Augusta. But cost ot
manufacture and of laying brick had
Increased since the dste of the Florida
i transaction, lienee tile Increase by
all bidders over bid price on formed
! work.
The Augusta manufacturing com
pany prefers to itself lay Its hrlck
product. Augusta eonncllmen prefer
to give Augusta work to Augusta men
provided that this can be done at as
reasonable cost as like work would
cost in the hands of other then Au
gusta manufacturers or contractors.
However, In the competitive bidding
under discussion in which bidding
out-of-town concerns participated—the
Augusta company, as stated, was h>
far the lowest and best bidder.
lie is very much perturbed at pres
ent over the loss of the cotton.
