SrOvt c/ (Special to Times-Enterprise.) ‘ 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.
