Cotton Warehouse.
The Gazette has at last succeed
ed in awaking some interest among
the merchants of Tifton on the ques
tion of building a' lirstciass brick
cotton warehouse. There is no rea
son why Tifton should not become
as good a cotton market us any city
in south Georgia, and she can if
proper fucilties are alforded for
storing and insuring. As matters
now stand Tifton merchants aie tak
ing too much risk in buying cotton
unless they cun ship it as fast us they
buy.
Last Wednesday there was stored
in the Georgia Southern and Florida
railroad warehouse not less than fifty
bates of cotton, and not u bale of it
insured—we doubt if it could have
been insured! If the building hud
accidentally caught fire and the cot
ton destroyed, it would have been a
severe blow to the owners of the cot
ton.
With a brick cotton warehouse,
100x100 feet, the quantity of cotton
sold in Tifton would he rapidly in
creased; farmers would not hesitate
to bring their cotton here when they
know they can take choice of selling
at once or storing and insuring to
await developments in the markets,
it would increase the business of the
city, because when the cotton is
stored and insured the owner, wheth
er it be farmer or merchant, can get
advances upon it and a great portion
if the money would be spent in the
city.
Every citizen interested in the
rowth and prosperity of the city
should thoroughly consider this mut
ter, and we ure satisfied when they
lo it will lead to the building of the
warehouse.

Cheaper Freight Kates.
The most patent drawback to the
growth of Tifton just how is the al
most piohihitory high freight rates
with which her merchants and busi
ness men generally have to contend
While the Downing Company was
temporarily located here quite a milli
ner of things transpired to open the
eyes of our merchants on this matter
of‘freight rates. It was discovered
that u Tifton mciclumt.. could have
his car loud of flour or bacon shipped
from the markets to Brunswick, pay
the rate to that point and tlien a lo
oal rate from Brunswick to Tifton
and save $20 upon the car from what,
the freight would pe if shipped direct
to Tifton. This seems to he a dis
crimination winch should he reme
died; it will have to be remedied be
fore Tifton can hope to take her prop
er place in the* commercial world.
It 1ms also been discovered, since
the Tifton Canning and Manufactu
ring Company Inis commenced to
place their goods on the market, that
the Tifton people will have to sell
their products much cheaper than
the same goods cun be bought in Bui
timore in order to muko up the dif
ference between the low freight rates
given the Baltimore manufacturers
and the high rate of freight they
have to pay.
Talk to the railroad authorities
about giving better rates and they
will tell you they can’t do it for fear
of being boycotted by their Northern
railroad and steamboat connections
In other words the Northern railroad
and steamboat lines are. working in
the interest of Northern industries
and are forcing the Southern farmers
and manufacturers to jmy tribute to
them.
There is not a citizen in Tifton,
interested in the growth and pros
perity of the city, who is not also In
terested in (hiding a remedy for this
great wrong.

HOW TO KEEP MEAT.
SoMU'ililiiff Tlmt In Worth it lMiice In Ev
erybody'* Scr»|> Hook.
A writer in an exchange says lie nev
er loses meat, it matters not what the
weather is, and says that it is always
by bad management that meat is
spoiled. He gives his method of cur
ing meat as follows:
if there is frost the night after the
meat is killed, you will not loose it.
Kill early in the morning and cut tip
immediately. Salt, while the meat
is still warm, the hams and shoulders
and pack them. Lute in t he evening
unpack and spread the meat on the
house top until morning. Rub and
result and pack in large boxes. Every
layer of meat should lie covered with
salt so the shape of the meat can’t lie
seen. Cover lust layer with two or
three inches of salt. Put a small
piece of saltpeter on each joint and
one gill of molasses or sugar. Meat
treated in this way can lie kept, if
killed tiny time from October to
March.
