be used to much
greater advantage
abroad than the jute bagging, which, if
so, will decrease the tare even more
than 25%, aid make the Increased
value of the cotton considerably greater
than calculated above.
A most important factor in increas
ing the price of cotton will be the
greatly increased consumption of the
raw material in the manufacture of cot
ton bagging,- which will amount to
100,000 to 125,000 bales per year. It is
estimated that ft decrease of 100,000
bales in any crop will advance the price
of cotton jftc. per B>. At this figure it
would amount on a 450 lb hale, to 5Gc.
per hale, which added to the J.2,%. gaiu,
as calculated al>ove, will make
per hale, or $-1,812,500 on a crop of
7,000,000 bales as a conservative esti
mate of the increased value' of the crop
by the use of cotton bagging.
INCREASE OP MANUFACTORIES.
To this increase to the furthers in the
value of their cotton crop of nearly $5,.
000,000, and the other ’ advantages
named, may he added the increase of
cotton manufactures in the.South, rep
resenting a consumption of 100,000
bales of poor grade, cotton, which at
8%c. per pound would give a valuation
of $3,825,000 worth of cotton, used in a
new line of manufactures, calling for
the employment in the midst of the
cotton belt of a largely in
creased number of producers, and an
increased distribution of money in our
midst.
It may be added that the manufac-
I ture of cotton bagging is in its infancy,
and we may in all confidence expect
that with the increased demand, im
provements will be made in-tkeinachiu-

Atlanta, May 23.—The Road Con
gress resumed its sitting this morning
at 9 o’clock in the hall of representa
tives.
After pray by Dr.Carleton, of Deca
tur, the roll was called, showing a full
attendance of delegates from all parts of
the State. After a few preliminaries
Col. Livingston asked for the report of
the committee to prepare business.
This report was then offered and read
by Mr. Calvin. It consisted of a bill to
la? introduced at the next session of the
legislature, as a road law for the entire
State!
a proposed roa r> law.
AN ACT to amend the road laws of
this State,and to empower the county
authorities to levy and collect a tax
for ?oad purposes.
Section 1. Be it enacted by the senate
and house tf representatives in general
assemblinet, and it is hereby enacted
by the authority of the same, That it
shall be the duty of the county authori-.
ties, having charge of the roads and
revenue in eaeh county in this state, on
the first Monday iii December after the
passage of this act and biennially there
after, to appoint a superintendent of
public roads for their respective count
ips,whose powers, duties and liabitiilties
shall he as hereinafter set forth.

We have positive information that
Brown Brothers have agreed to take
the bonds of the Georgia, Carolina and
Northern railroad. This would seem
to insurre its completion beyond a
doubt; and further; since Brown
Brothers own the bonds of the Coving
ton & Macon railroad, it is highly prob
able that they will form a combination
of the two roads and so- make Athens
the main point of their system,which,in
connection With the Seaboard and Roa
noke and the Southern connections,will
form a through line from New York to'
New Orleans and the sea, at Bruns
wick.
As has already been published Messrs
A. L. Hull and A. II. Hodgson, direc
tors of the G. C. & N. R. R., were
called to Monroe, N. CL last week to a
meeting of the board of directors. In
view of what has been written, it is
highly probable that all details will be
arranged and the contracts Jor con
structing the G. C. & N. be let at once.
It is impossible to over-estimate the
advantage of the new road'to Athens. It
will open up a magnificent section be
tween Athens and Monroe, N. C., for
which Athens will be the main distrib
uting point. Further, there* is inesti
mable advantage in being on a direct
and through line. This road will be
the shortest line between the East and
the Southwest, and through ears and
sleepers, freigliten with hundreds of
people and goods beyond count will
everyday pour into or pass through
Athens,
The moment work is begun on this
line, the connection with Knoxville,
via. Judge TV. B. Thomas’ road will be
guaranteed and Athens will be the
point of contact of the shortest. lines
between the East and Southwest and
the West and seaeoast. A healthier
feeling and a brighter future never
dawned for our city and we venture
nothing in predicting a full realization
of the hopes of the most sanguire.
$500 Not Called for.
It seems strange that it is necessary
to persuade men that you can cure then-
diseases by offering a pretfiium to the
man who fails to receive benefit. And
yet Dr. Sage undoubtedly cured thous
ands of eases of obstinate catarrh with
his “Catarrh Remedy,” who would
never have applied to him, if it had not
been for his offer of the above sum for
an incurable case. Who is the next
bidder for cure or cash ?
Prof. T. C. Newton.
Prof. T. C. Newton resigned his po
