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- prodaction, and a few years THE ROAD CONGRESS. prefer to work the road in person, or THE BONDS TAKEN, A FULL ATTENDANCE OF DELEGATES AND MUCH WORK ACCOMPLISHED.

A Probable Combination Between the G, C. & N., and the C. & M. Railroads— The Future Bright—Tne Ath ens and Knoxville Bail Boad will be Built. 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. Seetiou 2. Be it further enacted. That said superintendents in their respective counties shall, and they are hereby au thorized and required by the first Mon day in February in each year to lay oil' 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 sition as principal of the Union Point Academy on last Wednesday to accept that of clerk in the-eiv.il service depart ment at Washington, D. C., and left for that city on Thursday. No one was aware of the fact that Professor ‘ Newton contemplated making such a change, and the announcement, besides being a great surprise, was received with sineere regret.
