“What is the proposed line of

“It has been located only as far
as the Ohoopee river. I haven’t
the profile here, and cannot say
whether it strikes at or near
Ohoopee. It touches Malden
branch, and will run to or near
Mount Vernon westward to East

corps locating the road from the
Ohoopee river to Americus; one
corps working eastward from East
man to the Ohoopee,and the other
westward from Eastman in the di

“When do you expect to let the
contract for the rest ot the road?”
“Well, I do lot like to say I will
do anything until I am ready to do
it, but it is the intention to put

possible after the entire line has

completed I do not want to say

McRae, June 28.—The S., A. A
M. railroad has nearly ^completed
their grading and embankments
on the south side of the E. T. V. A
G., and we learn will commence'
work on.the other side for Savan
nah next week. They have located
the line to Savannah through
Mrs. McLean’s horse lot, three
quarters of a mile from McRae.
About fifty new hands arrived
here last Sunday to commence the
work. They are going to push it
on to Savannah with all possible
speed.
On last-Saturday we saw at Mr.
Allen McArthur's,of Montgomery
county, seven miles Irom McRae,
another pair of monstrous ox
boms, which had never been
coupled. They measured four and
one-quarter feet from point to
point. This was a curiosity that
his son Jacob brought from I exas.
Dr. J. M. McNeel has just re

Clements and M. McRae are two
of the best farmers of that sec
tion. Mr. Clements is an enter
prising young bachelor and a
good catch for the girls. Mr. Me
Rae is a leading citizen of Spring

“Old Jute” is Dead.
The jute war seems to be waxing
' varln in Texas as will be seen
from the following, taken from
the Rockdale Messenger:
“The Alliance meeting at Cam
eron Tuesday was made the occa
sion of the performance of a very
solemn and highly important cer
emony.
“1 he victorious army, alter a
battle, buries the enemy's dead
The dead are always entitled
decent sepulture. So the Alliance
having choked the wind out of old
Mr. Jute, concluded to lay him, or
v hat remained of him, away un
der the daisies. There was only a
small bit of him left in Cameron.
and that was a small role belon
ing to the Alliance store. So a
meeting was organized to prepare
for an impusing burial.
The following was unanimously
adopted:
Resolved, 1 hat a committee oi
three be appointed to prepare and |
publish a burial service for “Old
Jute,” and that each county Alii
ance, wheel and union in the
United States, at their July meet
ing, bury a roll of jute bagging
with military honors, firing ten sa
lutes, one tor each cotton State,
and that each member wear for
thirty days a Badge of Joy to be
furnished by the cotton mills.
Resolved, That we now inaugu
rate the same by proceeding to
bury the only piece of jute bag
ging in town on the Alliance lot.
Mr. Enoch Breeding was np
pointed chairman of the commit
tee to prepare the burial service.
he to appoint the other members
of the committee.
Messrs. J. M. Frierson,B. C. Bar

S. Murff, officiating priest; E. B.

tion was delived by Priest .Merit
and the grave tilled. It was re
raar kable to see the anxiety dis
p ] a yed by all to get a chance to
pitch a bit of dirt on “Old Jute.”
| After this a salute of ten guns

proceeding, but it has a signili

brought no other with her.

They Must I Live Cotton,
The Atlanta Journal t
?ome
| hesitation or apprehension about
the substitution of cotton for jute
as bagging—too much solicitude
as to how the factors and the ex
change would accept it. They
cannot do otherwise than accept,
if planters generally will make
the change. The world cannot do
without the cotton crop of our
Southern States. The hundreds
of millions of dollars invested in
cotton mills in this country and
Europe requires it for tlie contin¬
uation of their business. This'im
mense investment will not cease
or even slack lhe operations nec¬
essary to its preservation on ac
count of a change in the covering
of cotton. If any exchanges should
pronounce against the change, the
marketing will lie done wit hout
their favor. If any factors should
J refuse to handle bales packed in
cotton cloth, the mills will find
other purchasers to supply them.
The manufacture must go on, and
j will not be impeded by any hitch
| about the covering.
The cotton planting in lesfry is
the most independent great indus
try of the world, if Hie fanners
: will only act in concert, insist Oil
their rights, and appreciate prop
erly the hides, -nsible value of it.
TI.ey have been force,H, y I,to j„to
bagging <n .st to make the present
movement, and we hope that its
success will teach them the mag
nitude of the power of which they
possess in the world of commerce
a » d industry. Its success will he
the first important assertions of
their strength, and having learned
the secret of their great power,
they may by its exercise free
themselves of their incumbrances
that detract from the value to
them of their great staple.
Let the movement for independ¬
ence of jute bagging, with its trust
and exactions, he carried on with
tlie utmost assurance of success.
