Railroad* Are Said Not to Be Accept ing AH the Cotton That la Offered. . A freight ear famine 1* imtninent in Georgia. Complaints have reached the railroad commission that some Os the roads are not accepting all th* riotton that is being hauled from th* farms to their depots, and inquiries have been made of the cotn miselon if a remedy for thp congestion of cotton in different towns of the stete can not be obtained. Since September 16th the cotton crop has been rapidly picked, baled and placed on the market. In the small country towns the great processions of wagons from the farm* have oome tn bearing from one to five bales *f cotton. • The cotton has bean placed on th* plat forms ready for shipment. At some points the cotton has been driuyed for some time owing t® the inability of the railroads to supply the car* for shipping it, and at Molena,- Ga., th* agent of the Southern railway has been forced to re fuse to accept further cotton for ship ment. since the company has been unable to obtain box freight cars for hauling it. The crop, it to *aid, has been gathered faster this year than In previous yeara, and the rallrotvis while they bare put into use all the cars available are yet unable to supply the demand. At some point* In the southern portion of the stat* the condition I* said to be serious. Farmers and planters have, it is said, great piles ot cotton ready for shipment, but ar* unable to have ft sent to the neArest market on account of th* lack of railroad facilities. In answer to the complaints the rail roads say they have not enough cars, but cannot afford to secure more to m*et the extra demand whidh to constant but two months in the year, and if they rtitfttld these cats would ll* idle for nearly ten months of the year entailing a loss on- the ratlroada • , • It is stated further by the railroad officials that it is of course to the ad vantage of the railroads to handle al! the freight possible, and that an effort Is be ing made in this respect. The ruffh of freight is expected to be over in a few week* and the traffic will , them assume lts"Osudl condition. in the meantime it to said that vast quantities of cotton are being held track, the owner* being unable to reach a mark et.
