Atkinson PRICE HAS BEEN DOUBLED. Great Jump in the Cost of Cotton Ties. Now there’ll be a mighty howl throughout the country. After the facts are kuown, it will probably be conceded that there are good grounds for the kick. As is fully knowu, hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of cotton ties are used throughout this region every year. For several mouths past dealers in Augusta have been trying to obtaiu from manufactuiers an idea of just what the price of ties would be this season. Some had considerable stock left over from last year, which they would sell at once did they know the price. Others were besieged by their country patrons lor news on the sub¬ ject, so that they might know just what preparations to muse. But all the tie manufactuaers are in a combine and they refused to divulge their sell¬ ing price for this season. The an¬ nouncement was made today, however, and it has created consternation al¬ ready. Last year ties were sold to dealers at 65 cents per bundle; this year the trust says the. price is $1.221-2 in 2,(X)0 bundle lots, and $1.27 1-2 for smaller quantities. How is that for ? The trust also held tbeir quotations until it was too late for dealers to ne¬ gotiate for imported ties. It is a fact also that within the past month the price of bagging has gone up 1-2 cent a yard. Ragging is now quoted at 5 5-8 in lots of 2,000 rolls or more, and 1-4 c«nt higher in smaller quantities. There are only six bag¬ ging manufactories iu this country, but all arc in a trust controlled by the concerns at New York, St. Louis and Charleston. Dealers here fear that there will be another rise in the price of bagging. Gold men iu the city are very sore about this jump in prices. They say •t. will create <af ywal dissatisfaction ,, * »iun;rs, nnu wm nu n „ thousands of votes to Bryan that would otherwise have gone to the cause of sound money.—Herald. Railway Statistics. The report of the interstate com¬ merce commission for the year ended Judc 30, 1805, shows the total railway mileage on that date to have been 180,667 miles, an increase of 1,048. During the year fourteen roads were abandoned, nine merged, thirty-two reorganized and twenty-eight consoli¬ dated. There appears from the report to have been a decreased efficiency iu in passenger service and an increase in the number of men employed by railways of 5,426, as compared with the previous year. There was an in¬ crease in the amount of railway capital during the year aggregating $188,729,- 312. The gross earnings of the railways for the year ending June 30, 1895, were $1,075,371,462, an increase of $2,006,665. Passenger revenue was $252,246,180, showing a decrease of $33,103,378. Freight revenue increased $30,502,549. The number of railway employes killed during the year was 1,811, and the number injured 24,696, a decrease of twelve killed and an increase of 2,274 injured, as compared with the previous year. The number of pas¬ sengers killed was 170; injured 2,225, showing a decrease of 154 in the num¬ ber killed aud 669 in those injured. The July returns from the Agricul¬ tural Department at Washington shows the condition of this year’s corn crop to be another record breaker, with 2,- 154,600,000 bushels as the crop, or 3,400.000 bushels more than last year. The total wheat crop is figured at 434,776,000 bushels, against 467,102,947 last year. The July estimate of cotton is higher than in any year since 1887. The crops throughout the entire Chattahoochee Valley have suffered se¬ verely from the recent heavy rains which caused the river to overflow its banks at many points below Columbus. In many places the crops are an entire loss, and as it is past the season for planting, many farmers will suffer heav Hy Wanted—An Idea Wrlufj^HN i«y§.

With regard to the Tennessee, Geor¬ gia and Atlantic railroad, Mr. Rich¬ ards, one of the promoters, has spokeu as follows: “I am looking for a direct route be ween Augusta and Chdttahdbga. The preliminary survey will show which is the nearest and best route to follow, and then if the towns are so anxious for the road we will deviate and tap those who make the most liberal propo¬ sitions. Augusta and Chattanooga are both pulling for the location of the general repair shops, but this has not been decided by us yet. “We will accomplish one thing that is certain. We will make Augusta about eighteen miles nearer Atlanta. We will make the small towns between Chattanooga and Augusta many miles nearer Atlanta and New York, and we will open and make possible the devel¬ opment of one of the richest and most valuable mineral sections in the state. It is not like building a road through the pities or across the praties, for we have the section already developed through which this road will run.” In answer to an inquiry as to the success of the enterprise, Mr. Richards said: The building of the line is now as¬ sured. Our contract with the under¬ writers of the bonds has practeally been completed and only detail work remains to be done. I have recently visited a few towns on the proposed lines and have met with unvaried success. Our proposition to subscribers to require no payment until the road is finished, and the subscription being to the first mortgage bonds, is one that strikes favorably. “The counties through which we pass, instead of donatiug money for stock, are required to make a subscrip¬ tion to a limited amount of bonds which will be worth par the day that payment is required. The road really costs the community nothing. “1 meet to leave with the prelimi¬ nary c fjm of engineers on Monday (tun Jl over ih: »a selecting the most direct route between Chattanooga and Augusta. We hope to locate the line by November 1, and to let contracts for the construction immediately thereafter.” Save Your Money.
