COTTON GROWERS TO COMBINE.
With $50,000,000 Capital.
George F. Mashburn, of Boston,
president of the Commonwealth
Club, of Massachusetts, lias gone to
Europe to investigate the methods
of cooperation in the various organi
zations in England and on the Con
tiuent with a view to the formation
of a fifty million dollar cotton com
bination in this country. This would
seem to open lip a way by which the
cotton producer may be emancipa
ted from the abject condition in which
he has been so long held by the
heartless speculator. The combine
is a move in the right direction and
with discreat management would
doubtless successfully carry out its
object.

that it was almost bloody flux, I
asked him if lie had tried Chamber

take another dose 111 15 or 20 min

THOMASVILLE WINS HER FIGHT.
Plant System Must Give Lower Rates,
Says the Commission
Atlanta, July 80.—The people of
Thomasville have won their fight for
lower freight rates against the Plant
System. Chairman T, C. (Tensliaw
of the Railroad Commission to day
handed down the commission’s deci
sion in the matter and he says that
the competition, existing at Albany
between the Plant System and other
lines is not sufficient to justify the
dincriminations made in favor of
that place and against Thomasville.
The commission finds that Thomas
ville is nearer to Savannah and
Brunswick by eight miles than is
Albany, ai d yet the schedule of
rates to Thomasville is higher than
to Albany. Thi h declar'd.• is an
unjust diseriminnlion against Thom
asville. The commission orders
that system to readjust its schedule
of rates within ten days, so as to
remove these discriminations, othev
wise the new schedule of rates will
be made out and enforced by the
'
commission itself.

Crop Outlook Discouraging.
Commissioner of Agriculture, O
B Stevens, is quoted as having said
recently that Georgia crops are sad
ly in need of rain, In some sec

in more than a month, and reports
made to Agricultural department are
discouraging.
In some parts of the state ade
quate supplies of rain has fallen; in
others corn is said to be Wilting and
drving up in the fields and cotton is
shedding.
The farmers are alarmed over the
reports of tlie drought in the west
and are apprehensive that they will
suffer similar disaster, in the dry
districts unless they are speedily
blessed with rain. The greater por
