HOW HE COMES ROLLING INTO THE GRIFRIN MARKET. More Cotton Coming la Than In Any September Since 1883—-A Big Crop and Hood Price*. Cotton is coming into Griffin just about as fast as the wagons and trains can bring it and tbe bankB pay for it. The season opens up better than at any time since the fall of 1883. Yesterday’s statement showed 1,237 bales for the week ending yes¬ terday morning, and 1,401 bales since September 1st. On yesterday 225 bales were received. Following is the statement: Receipts for week......................1,237 “ since Sept. 1st.............1,491 Shipments................................1,112 Stock.................... 322 Middlings 10%. Market firm. The following comparative table of receipts will be of interest: ~ Week. ~ •= 8d - - Week. Total. 1st 1883. .195 1,642 2,630 1884 .............. 5 271 288 1885 .............. 22 400 518 1886 .............. 29 248 338 1887 .............. 51 637 926 1888 .............. 63 431 537 1889 .............. 6 1,237 1,491 This season, as the figures show, started extraordinarily late; but the fine weather since the 2d of Septem¬ ber, when the last rain fell, has been unusually favorable for opening, and we are away ahead of most seasons. There are several causes that have brought this about: one is the rapid opening, another is the the large crop that will undoubtedly be made in this section, and a third is the good prices that the staple is bringing. But we believe a most important factor in bringing about this result is the fact that after try¬ ing different markets in other years, the planters of Middle Georgia have decided that Griffin is the best mar¬ ket for their cotton and are bring¬ ing a larger proportion of it here. This conclusion has been slowly ar¬ rived at for several years, and we believe will have a larger effect this year thaii ever. J. P. Hammond had two bales of the Allen long staple cotton ginned yesterday that showed np beautiful¬ ly. It is a fine grade, with a staple an inch and a half long, and is worth at least 16 cents a pound in Savan¬ nah this year. He sold his crop last year at 15 cents. This year he will make 25 or 30 bales from 30 or 35 acres, and is delighted to find that the staple is improving instead ofdeteri- oating as it was feared it might. It costs no more to make this cotton than the common kind. Mr. Hitt, of Augusta, connected with the Americus firm of W. M. Hitt & Co., is spending a couple of days in the city looking after cotton. A. R. Salas, a shipping broker of Savannah, was also in the city yes¬ terday. Fourteen bales were brought in by wagon yesterday from 31 miles away —from Rocky Mount. It was brought by W. H. Johnson, J. A. Roe, Wm. Feltner and T. F. Howard, and was weighed at Boyd’s warehouse. B. H. Bowden, of Raleigh, beyond the Pine Mountains, was in the city yesterday looking after thirty bales he had shipped here.

Col. Redding has become installed as comfortably as possible in the present rather crowded quarters at the Experiment Farm, and ia very much pleased with the farm itself. H* is full of his recent trip to Ohio, and in reply to a question as to his impression of the system of Ohio farming, what practical effects may be expected from this journey in search of knowledge, be said: “The first fact that impressed me after crossing tbe northern limit of cotton culture was the total absence of gullies and was lied-a way hillsides. This was the case even on lands as broken as any I have ever seen in Georgia. This condition is evident¬ ly due to tbe fact that the Ohio and Kentucky lands are in plowed crops not oftener than once in four years. The Ohio farmer cultivates grass while we expend our chief efforts in destroying grass. Grass culture im¬ plies stock growing, and stock-grow¬ ing implies heavy manuring. So grass, live stock and home manures are the three keys on one string that unlock the doors of prosperity to an Ohio farmer. “Another striking fact is that the Ohio farmer and his wife and chil¬ dren are ail workers, and their labor and that of their hired “help” is much more effective because of the use of better implements and more labor-saving machinery. A Georgia farmer pays a big burly negro man #8 or #10 a month, or 50 cents a day and rations, to drive a light mule; an Ohio farmer pays #18 to #20 a month and board to an intel¬ ligent white man to manage a team of two horses weighing a ton each, hitched to a plow that cuts twice as wide and goes twice as deep into a soil that is more than twice as heavi¬ ly manured. In its last analysis la¬ bor is cheaper in Ohio than in Georgia,because much more effective in compa rison with the wages actual¬ ly paid. The comparison holds good in regard to all farm opera¬ tions—harrowing, sowing, reaping, threshing, loading, stacking, etc. Ohio lands were originally very lit¬ tle, if any, more productive under the same culture, than Georgia lands; but theirs has been a conservative and restorative system of farming, while ours has seen depleting and ex haustive.” COMPLIMENTARY RESOLUTIONS TO MR. SPETH. secretary N. Mclnnes, of the Rich¬ mond County Agricultural Society, has forwarded to tbe News and Sun the following interesting account of the formal leave taking of one of its best members, who has now become a resident of this community. In his accompanying letter Mr. Mclnues says: “The enclosed resolutions will explain themselves. In fact, they do not fully convey the true estimation in which Mr. Speth was held in our community.” The account of the meeting is clipped from the Augusta Chronicle, and is as follows: There was an exceedingly interest¬ ing meeting of the Richmond County Agricultural Society at their club house yesterday, The usual meeting day is on the third Saturday in each month, but in view of the fact that a prominent member of the associa¬ tion and a well known and respected citizen of the county, Mr. Gustav Speth, is about to remove to Griffin in a short time tbe meeting was call ed for yesterday m compliment to him. He goes to Griffin to assume the duties of horticulturist at the state experimental station there, an important position for which Mr, Speth te pre-eminently qualified. Among other proceedings of the as¬ sociation, Mr. Speth read an essay on “The Straggle for Sustenance. * which is an admirable document, set¬ ting forth in pleasing language the Struggle which belongs to every phase of existence; bow maeh the farmer has to contend with ia the practkpof his business, how much intelligence, energy aad knowledge % 18 th, 1889 .

Barnes, being present were, called on for their views. In the general dis¬ cussion which followed the reading of the paper, and in eloquence and com¬ plimentary terms, endorsed the views of the essayist. Their remarks were well and applaudingly received. At the conclusion of the regular business J udge Eve arose and stated that it was always a pleasure to him to extend a welcome, and a pain to “speed the parting guest,” but it has fallen to his lot to express the regrets of this association at parting with their-fellow member Mr. Speth. After some further remarks he offered the following resolutions: Whereas, Our respected fellow-mem¬ ber, Mr. horticulturist Gustav Speth, has the been appointed station Griffin, of state Ga., experimental at hiaaetave which will necessarily sever connection with the association; therefore, be it. Resolved, by the Richmond County Agricultural society, That while con¬ gratulating the of the gentleman state on obtaining services a so com¬ petent for the position, and appre¬ ciating the honor eonfered upon our fellow-member, yet we part with him with sincere regret. His presence at our meetings will be greatly missed; we shall no longer enjoy the results of his varied experience and valued service, so freely and cheerfully given on all occasions when required; but we know that in his new position he will not be forgotten here—we ehall remember him always with pleasure and appreciation of his counsels, and commeud him to the authorities, of the state and to the good will of the people among whom his future lot will be cast; to them also we com mend his estimable family; congratu¬ this lating the good people of Griffin upon accession to the community, with tbe assurance that kindness shown and favors rendered to Mr. Speth and his family will be gratefully ap¬ preciated by this society and the people of Richmond county. ' t Resolved, That the secretary furn¬ ish a copy of these resolutions to Mr. Speth, and also to the papers of Au¬ gusta their publication. and Griffin with a reqtiest for Maj.
