‘ r;-i ' -Meigs, Ga., Dec. 17th, 18C3.
Unde John W. AlligooU, a- prosper
ous planter residing a couple* of miles
east of here, marketed perhaps the old
est bale of cotton in the country, here
recently. It was short staple, weighed
510 pounds,' fpd sold at 11 3-4 cents per
pound, being bought by J. N. Carter.
Uncle John raised this cotton 13 years
ago, since which time it has been stored
away on his farm.- It was wrapped in
the “Farmers* Alliance** bagging, and
is in almost atf good condition as the
day it was packed/ It will be remem
bered that this bagging was adopted by
the Farmera’ Alliance for the purpose
of downing the jute trust, was used ex
clusively by th e members of the Alli
ance, and was finally successful in caus
ing a great reduction of the price of jute
bagging.
Thirteen seasons ago this cotton
would have sold for about 8 cents. By
Calculating 8 per cent interest on the
value of the cotton at the time it was
ginned, for thirteen years, and deduct
ing the difference in its value then and
now, it will be readily seen that he has
lost something near $25.00 by holding
it. lias not needed the money nbr
had any other cause to sell the cotton,
but thinking of the present tempting
prices, he decided to dispose of it.
Very few' people in this section knew
that Unde John had this bale of. cotton,
and when it was hauled, into town the
Other morning it proved to be quite a
cariosity to the citizens.
