Mies Joe Davidson 1ms ed home from Marietta where kfte been for several months past Owing to scarcity of raw Mate¬ rial, high price of the same and low price of manufactured cotton goods,many cotton mills are shut¬ ting down. Manufacturers claim there is no profit in the business at present prices of raw cotton and the low price of the manufactured goads and they see no way out oth¬ er than to close down. All admit that the cotton crop is shorter than last year. Texas Storm. The daily papers for the past week have been giving to the peo¬ ple in their dispatches, the bor¬ rowing details of the great Texas storm which swept the southern coast, destroying life and property for 14 hours last Saturday and Saturday night. It is estimated that five thousand lives were lost in the storm while many million dollars of property was totally wrecked at Waco, Houston, gal veston and other places along the coast. The people were left home¬ less and helpless and a most dis¬ tressing state of affairs exist in the storm swept district. Relief is being sent from all sections; • ■v 4 -S Conyers Cotton Market. Up to the present time Conyers is more than holding her own in the cotton market. Our buyers have been paying 104’cents pet pound and above that figure all this week. It may be put- down as a fact that farmers are safe in bringing their cotton to this mar¬ ket. They may count on the buy¬ ers here. Another advantage in the farmer’s favor who comes to Conyers is in the buying of goods at a great deal lower figure than lie can get the same thing in other towns. The farmers of this and adjourning counties know this and are profiting by it every day. We urge all farmers to investi¬ gate these statements and take note of the cash which come to them as a result.
