STOLE FINE HANDKERCHIEFS,
MISTAKE CORRECTED.
No Colton Has Been Shipped From Albany
lo Macon lo Be Compressed.
The Macon News of Tuesday after
noon contains the following item:
“On account of the great amount of
cotton carried to Albany to' be com-
presed it has been found necessary to
bring much of the cotton to Macon to
be oompressed.
This 1b an unusual proceeding, bnt
the nniou compress is now running at
its full capacity, pressing cotton Bent
here from Albany on account of the
presses there being 'overtaxed. All of
the oompresses in Maoon are working as
fast os they can and although cotton
doesn't seem to be coming in fast as last
year the rash to get it oompressed and
shipped is greater. This is thought by
some to mean that the price is oertain to
advance at an early date, as many
buyers are afraid of an early frost, whioh
will undoubtedly cause the price to ad
vance. Many of the farmers who ore
now bringing in cotton refuse to sell it
and baying is very slow, although the
buyers will take every bale they can
get.”
Upon seeing this item in the Nows, a
reporter of the Herald made an investi
gation of the matter and found that the
facts iu the case do not justify the state
ment made by the News that much of
the cottou received here lsboiug shipped
.to Maoon to be compressed.
The truth of the matter is that not a
single bale of cotton haB been shipped
from Albany to Macon. The cotton
whioh is being compressed in Macon and
whioh, no doubt, furnished the founda
tion for the story in the News, was a
lot of 1,750 bales which was
bought in Eufaula by the Geor
gia Cotton Oompany, and which
was shipped direct to Maoou to be com
pressed. The ootton never reaohod Al
bany. It is true that the ootton Bhould
have come here to be oompressed, hav
ing been bought by an Albany Arm, but
daring the latter days of September oot
ton was rushing into Albanv at such a
lively rate’ that the oompress* capacity
was taxed to its utmost.
The Georgia Ootton Oompany is oper-
erating largely this year in Eufaula,El-
laville, Beuna Vista, Montezuma, Ogle
thorpe, Shellman, Outhbert and Port
FLORIDA’S ORANGE CROP.
The Luscious Fruit Promises to Bo Plenti
lul This Season,
Jacksonville, Fla., Oot. 10.—The or-
ange season opens In a oouple of weeks
and today the best authority estimates
the Florida Drop at 1,000,000boxes. This
statement will be a surprise to the peo
ple of the qonth who have not kept in
touoh with the industry In this state
sinoe the memorable freeze of five years
ago. The average prioe for the fralt for
the coming orop will be about (1 50 a
box ou the tree,or(2a box f. o. b. From
these prioes it will be seen that the
value of the Florida orop will approxi
mately equal the value when the crop
of this stato amounted to something
like 5,000,000 boxes.
From careful estimates the leading
orange producing counties In the state
will ship the following number of boxes
this year:
Manatee, 250,000 boxes; De Soto, 350,-
000 boxes; Hillsboro, 200,000 boxes;
Polk, 180,000boxes; Lee, 75,000 boxes;
Dade, 00,000 boxes ;Orange, 26,000 boxes;
Lake, 15,000 boxes j Osoeola, 15,000
boxes; scattering, 10,000 boxes. Total,-
1,050,000 boxes.
The groves in Florida are in a healthy
condition and prospects ob to yield and
profit are encouraging.
