Governor Table of Cotton Burning.
The Fort Gaines tf rot ton burning
was for a time the • of general
-•%%vU»-atir.a but others net,, j he c| ,1. Sgsfe of
thought that, it showed a
forious misunderstanding <>f the situa¬
tion that, they feared, existed beyond
the confines of Fort Gaines.
. Governor Terrell was inclined to
fhink that reports from Fort Gaines
had been considerably exaggerated—
"liich. in | j C t, was the case—and that
■ f any cotton lmd been burned, the de¬
structive idea had not been taken up
by any large number of people He
said:
" n would be an act of folly to burn
cotton, for it costs money to make ir
ami even if it won’t bring th, price of
production, it should not be destroyed
ami the whose cost of raising thus
lost. Tiie better plan would be
questionably, an
, to store what is now on
I hand and out. the acreage wav down
j next cotton year. held By such moans both the
over and the new short
I crop could be sold at a paving price
”1 have a crop of fifteen bales still
unsold, and I intend storing it until i
next year, for I believe that the pee- 1
pie of the south will see the wisdom :
of hot glutting the market, and that
the proportions of next year’s crop
will be small enough to bring prices,
by the law of supply
a figure that will net
the farmer.”
Atlanta the past week, it was deter¬
mined to name two vice presidents
from Georgia to attend the next con¬
