MACON NEWS THURSDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 8 1898.
COTTON RECEIPTS
’ Macon Has Lost 1700 Bales
Already this Season.
I WHAT IS THE REASON?
I A Cotton Man Says it is Due to the
Discrimination in Rates by the
Railroads to the Ports.
There has has been this season a falling
off of 17,000 bales in the cotton receipts of
Macon as compared with the receipts of
last rear.
What has been the cause of it? is a
question freely discussed among the busi
ness men of Macon today.
The opinion is that it has not been due,
in any appreciable degree, to the price of
cotton, the storms, the reduction of acreage
or anything of that sort. The opinion is
that it has been due to the better railroad
rates enjoyed bj’ other Georgia cities. A
News reporter today asked a prominent
cotton man yesterday as to the differences
in the rates.
“The rates differ not only as to cotton
but as to other things. It is a wonder to me
that we get as much cotton as we do. I
will give you some figures.
1 “Athens sends cotton .to the ports at an
18-cent rate per 100 pounds, while it costs
Macon 34 cents.
“Augusta sends cotton to New York at
a 28-cent rate; it costs Macon 48% cents.
“Augusta sends cotton to the ports far
18 cents, while it costs Mac-on 34 cents.
“At Cordele, Americus, Athens and all
points where there is competition, lo! the I
j cut rate exists, while poor Macon pays the
‘ full ariff,
“If Mr. Spencer owned every railroad in
Georgia, I say, and maintained a unifirm
rate for all points, Macon could not be in
jured by the Southern’s combination. We
would not be hurt by the present 34-cent
rate. It is because the rate is cut at the
points where the roads going to the ports
are not in one combination that Macon is
losing her cotton. The uniform rate is the
right thing and the just thing, but if rates
must be cut at competitive points, then all
that Macon acks is that her roads shall
compete,”
