Yesterday After
noon.
The News on yesterday made
mention of tjio proposed visit, in a
few days of Mr. Mitchell Dodgers of
the firm of Rodgers, Worshaui & Co.
to To-day Washington City,
a News reporter met Mr
Rodgers and ashed him what
prompts liis firm to interest them
selves in the into seed business.
•Paid ho:
“Last season wc sold to the county
alliances of Bibb, Houston, Jasper,
Taylor Crawford, and parts of the comities of
Jones, Dooly, Twiggs :l^d
Macon. These alliances wore entire
ly ignored by all other Merchants.
The alliance has succeeded so well m
all their efforts that to-day all mer
chants are endeavoring to got, their
trade. You see the world thought
the alliance would succeed no belter
than the old ‘State
“Well, these alliances have appre
ciated our efforts so much that we
have come to tho conclusion t<>
sj end a portion of our profits each
year in their behalf,
“I have here a letter of intro
duction from lion. J. 11. Blount to
Hpn. Jeremiah Rusk, secret try of
agriculture at Washington, 1). C.
through whom we expect to obtain
a large lot of jute seed to bo distrib
uted among tho most reliable plan
ters in Georgia.
“Do you tlnnk jute can be success
fully grown in Georgia,” asked the
reporter.
“Most assuredly I do. You no
doubt are aware of the fact that cot
ton is supposed to have originated
in India ami that India is also the
home of jute. There is no reason
why jsuo cannot be raised here, It
is raised in Florida, Mississippi and
Kentucky to a small extent. I have
mentioned the matter to several well
informed planters who me anxious
to experiment—one of these, .Mr. 15.
T. Ray, of Bibb Gouuty, says, “you
give me the jute seed and I will show
you t he jute next year.”
“When will you go to Washing
ton?”
‘1 sha’l go to Washington in a
few days and obtain ail the infor
mation possible as to the cultivation
of jute, time of planting, etc. We arc
perfectly willing to invest $1,000 in'
this enterprise mid to that extent,
il nece8saiy, we shall go.
“Do you know the cheapest kind
of machinery is used in making
jute bagging? Well, such is the’
case, and I hope in u very few years
to see factories all through the
State, owned by planters anti
merchants of this state, turning
out first class jute bagging. As
certain as the sun shines we can
.succeed, and if our planting friends
will display energy at once in the
mattqr success will surely crown
our efforts. Wc will then settle
forever the lagging “trust,”
“Have you any other plans in
“My concern wifi also invest Ilf*
toon hundred dollars to help tho al
liance fight another “trust,” of
which I will tell you more in a few
days. This latter “trust” have their
plans made to completely kill en
terprises similar to theirs building
in the smaller towns of this Slate
and l-uilt by planters mostly.
“In this latter case, however, the
farmers have the “key,” and our
greatest efforts shall be to help the
planters to hold that key and keep
said “Lust” locked out. C. >S. Oil
Mi Is.
“We think it is the duty of overy
merchant in tho State io aid tho
alliance as far as po.-.siblo. We
make our money out of them an l
surely they are our best friends, if
the merchants will aid the alliance,
lin n 1 say many millions of dollaig
now going North und West will be
kepu Where here. there is
the most money
there is the best chance to make it
Bo lets ah pitch m and encourage
the alliance and they will succeed in
making tteali ncti—Macon Even
