The Position of Cotton.
g^Sfprepjion <ff opinion from the
great cotton mart of the country,New
Orleans, is of interest at all times,
but especially at this junoture. The
Picayune, which has been giving con¬
siderable attention to the subject, in
alible article onthe position of cpt
“The present cottton year has open¬
ed most auspiciously in spite 6f the
predictions that were indulged in
some time, ago, that the price of the
staple would decline early in the sea-
son. The present predictions were,
of course, based ou the fact that cur-
neat crop views pointed to a very
large yield, which it was calculated
would offset the effect of short stocks
at all consuming points, On the
basis of this expectancy of a large
crop and early deliveries of new cot-
tqnat the outports, quite liberal con
tracts were made for the shipment of
cotton abroad for delivery during
the early months of the season, as
the short stocks and good demand
for cotton in Europe encouraged
movement Of this character.
donbt ‘‘4Jfboq$it that the them is will po be reason to
crop consider¬
ably larger than last season the ship
ment of the staple to market has been
pinch Blower than many operators
calculated on, hence they are now
confronted with the necessity of flll-
ingthe contracts for export that
have been made, with a very scant
supply of cotton available, tinder
these circumstances it is not surpris¬
ing that prices should have been
pushed up pretty sharply, so that
exporters arc compelled to fill their
orders at very much higher prices
than they had counted on at the out¬
set of the season.
“Although the market is at this mo¬
ment interested more particularly in
September deliveries because opera¬
tors are likelytd be squeezed in meet¬
ing their contracts for that month,
the situation applies with almost as
muck force to the coming month.
Owing to the good demand for cotton
in Europe, liberal contracts have
been made for deliveries in ail the
early,months, hence there will be as
great if not greater competition to
secure cotton during October than
there has been during the present
month. The bagging problem and

MAJOR BELKNAP’S SUCCESSOR.
It May be Ms). SheUman,Present Traf¬
fic Manager.
/: I f> : ■■ •
The Central had no general mana¬
ger prior to Maj. Belknap's appoint¬
ment.* It will be hard on railroad
men, indeed, to plaee a man in the
position who has not had a wide ex¬
perience in all departments of rail
reading. Maj. Belknap has shown
himself to be eqaal to tjhe emergen¬
cies oithe position, and it will be
difficult to fill his place. Besides
having a varied experience as a rail¬
road manager he is a thorough civil
engineer. He was eminently adapt¬
ed to the office he filled, combining
with his untiring energy, quick per¬
ception, and his thoroughly courte¬
ous and .affable manner of meeting
people, making friends and leaving
an impression of the superior man¬
agement of the road.
There is some talk that Maj. Wil¬
liam F. Shellman will be the next
general manager of the Central. He
is now traffic manager, and is con¬
sidered one of the ablest railroad
men that the Central has had. He
has worked his way up and is
thoroughly identified with the inter¬
ests of the road. He will not be un-
famfliar with the management. A
new man will have to spend several
months in the service to gain a full
knowledge of the road’s business.
Next to General Manager Belknap,
pethaps Maj. Shellman’s knowledge
and acquaintance of the road is most
extended.
While Maj. Belknap’s resignation
may be acted upon shortly, to take
effect Oct. l,itis not likely that his
successor will be appointed before
the regular October meeting of the
board of directors.

The Champion Cotton Picker.
An exchange says:
“Miles Rozar, a 10-year-old boy of
Twiggs county, is the champion cot¬
ton picker. He has been picking on
an average bSore more than 2,000 pounds
a week the cotton was opened
well. He works for Mr. C. G. John¬
son, who asked how much he thought
he could pick in one day. He said
that he had never tried it, but that
if Mr. Johnson would stay with hita in
the field one day and weigh the cot¬
ton at night he would try it. Last
and Monday Rozar was the day agreed with upon will.

At the close of the day Mr. Johnson
weighed the cotton and found that
Ropr had picked 812 pounds. He
claims to be the champion. Can any¬
body equal him ?”
This bars out Col. Frank Flynt,
who had intended to pose at the Pied¬
mont Exposition as the champion
cotton picker, on a record of several
years ago of 714 pounds.
