and cotton growers of Lowndes county
have perfected their organisation and
have selected an advisory board, which
U to keep leveled on conditions of the
market and advise the growers as to the
best thing for them to do. The advisory

upon conditions by loaning money on
warehouse receipts to meet the immediate
obligations of the farmers The farmers

wrecked her wheel and hurl herst-lf while
riding over a depression In a Denver#

■ null Prices of Cotton Forces Them
to Nhut I town.
Augusta, Oa.. Sept. It —A serious feature
to Augusta, In the present high price of
cotton Is the announcement that the cot
ton mills will dose down.
For the past year or ao, since the price
of cotton was low, the cotton mills have
clung to the Idea that the higher prices
could not continue, and ha vs tieen persis
tent hears. They have bought only enough
cotton to meet current demands.
The consequence la that the steadily
rising market finds them without stocks
of raw materia! and the present prlco
of cotton i&ods la too low to manufactura
It from high price cotton. Accordingly the
Sibley and King mtIU. the two largest fac
tories here, have posted notices that they
will close next Saturday, and th* Langley
mill will go on half time.
In the Sibley mill about * operative*
are employed. Those hi the King mill
number I.MO. In the l-angley mill, which
will begin working on half time some day
next week, not yet decided upon, there
are 1,100 operatives. This will make more
than S.m Operative* who are directly af
fected by lhe shut-downs already decided
upon, although as stated the Utngley op
eratives will put In half time.
It Is estimated that at least three par
sons are dependent on each of the opera
tives whoso names appear on the pay roll*,
to that >.OOO person* will bo directly or In
directly altecled. Other mill* *ro non
committal. and aay they will spin up tha
cotton they have and trust to a fait In the
pftce of cotton, or o rise In the price of
good# before their cotton gives out.
"If condition* remain unchanged," said
President Verdery of the (enterprise mill,
"the mill* all over the country will hav*
to ahut down."
The rlodng of fh* mill* In Auguata will
mean not only serious hardahlp upon
thousands of opera!lv.. hut th* loaa of a
large sum of money In the channels of lo
cal trade from the weekly pay roll*.
