What Handlers of Cotton Say,
In support of the suggestion to fa
- cilitato measures looking to further
improve the cotton market, a promi*
: nent Savannah house has written a
( letter to Commissioner Stevens, a part
of which has been given out by him
for publication and is as follows :
“Today there is not a single influ
ence, so far as I can see, which is at
work in favor of the producer of cotton
To the contrary, the agencies are now
erful and multiplied to take that from
him which rightly belongs to him
“To give you some little idea of con
ditions a broker informed me yester
day that he had paid in the shape of
reclamations, since the first dur of
September, to foreign buyers, the enor
mous sum of $55,000. Do you think
that the parties who bought that cotton
on the other side are entitled to any
such reclamations, in many instance*
$1 50 per bale? Never. This thing is
brought about entirely by the custom
which prevails, under the Lob boni
ness, to allow these sharks on the
Other »ide to exercise the privilege of
making reclamations, whether there is
any merit in I hem or no'.
“I express the opinion ’.hat if the
cotton was sold after it was inspected
by a sworn, competent weigher, at ttie
point of shipment, this inspection to
bo final, prices would be 2;> per cent
higher than they are today, because it
would then be sold on competitive
basis, and responsible firms and indi
viduals who have been driven out of it,
would do so. and the buyer here at the
ports would know that he was getting
what he paid for.
“I am so situated in the business as
to receive the full benefit of the in
formation connected with the cotton
business. I know that the industry is
languishing because of the fact that
all of the influences which are brought
tu fear are brought bear in favor ot
tlo- consumer, as against the producer.

MUTUAL LIFE INSURANCE CO.
OF NEW YORK.
Breaks The Dividend Record.
It has always held the record securely, but the claim paid by the compa
ny upon a policy issued to Mr. Mark Banks, of Connecticut, the paiticulars
of which are given here, shows that THE MUTUAL LIFE Las in this in
■ stance eclipsed all previous dividend results:
Mr Banks was insured firss.ooo 00
The dividends amounted t >12,028.00
Pai ! to the estatesl7,o2B.oo
How does this happeja? Mr. Banks paid all the premiums in cash, and
he did this for fifty-tour years. He did not utilize any portion of the divi
dends in-payment of premiums, but permitted the Company to invest these
for Ins benefit. Here are the particulars:

Mr. Mark Banks was tin tr- usurer and cashier of the Greenwich Savings

power of compound interest, and his wisdom is exemplified by the result of 1

LAND POOR.
A Schema to Give Evary Man a
Farm, by a Person Who is
Land Poor.
Mr. Editor : Some years ago I took an
idea that land was the Fittest investment
that a man could make in Georgia, and as
a consequence, I am now land poor; have
more than 1 can profitably’ make use of,
and consequently want to get rid of some,
or all of it, and I have decided to adopt
the following measure to get rid of it:
I will say, in the first place, that the
land is the best in Monroe county, is fine
ly watered, and is adapted to raising cat
tle, sheep and hogs, and is the best lor
cotton, corn, wheat, oats and other grains
in the county, There are a number ol
tenant houses on the place, and a home
recently built that cost me over SB,OOO to
build. The land, in the first place, cost
me from $25 down to $4 per acre—saying
altogether, about $lO per acre, without
improvements ; and to get rid of it, I will
average the whole place at $lO per acre,
in the following way : I will have the
entire place, 1,600 acres, sub-divided into
50-acre lots, at $lO per acre, giving more
than 50 acres to one party, if desired, and
less than 50 to another, according to his
ability to pay’ for it, as the case may be,
the entire quantity to be drawn for.
In other words, the number of lots and
quantity of land to be put in a hat or box,
and drawn out under approval of a com
mittee of gentlemen, at some stated time,
so that all shall have a fair chance to get a
home at a low price, and no one has a
chance of losing their m mey, or failing to
get their value, as paid, and some get a
farm at far less than cost
The land is 12 miles from Macon, a city
of some 50,000 or 60,000 people, and is
adapted to market gardening, and for
northern people who know how to work,
it offers a fine opportunity for a colony of
energetic citizens.
It is all together, and would make a fine
settlement, having the best of pastures,
water, springs, creeks, etc. The land is
timbered with hickory, beach, oak and
pine, and some cedar; in fact, it is the best
place I know of, and I am satisfied the ed
itor of the Call will vouch for what I
say.
I would be glad to have any parties who
mean business, to go over the plantation,
familiarize themselves with the advan
tages, and communicate with me at
Barnesville, before going into the matter,
assuring them that 1 mean what I say,
I have also a farm of 50 acres near
Barnesville for sale, on good terms.
In addition to the terms offered above, I
have concluded to make the terms of pay
ment in four annual payments without
interest, which is tantamount to putting
the price of the land very’ low. The
titles to the land have been in. the posses
sion of one or two parties for years, and
have never been questioned and are as
good as gobi.
