Scott, of Richmond, chairman of the Southern company, and J. F. Minis, of Savannah, to deal with the owners of the foad. • Two Propositions. It Is learned that at least two prop ositions were made to the bondholders by the controlling Interests In the stock ; of tho company In lieu of full Interest on all three classes of bonds,' but that neither of them was acceptable to th« bondholders' committee. ftOne of those plans, It la said, called for the issue pEI 6 per cent bonds to run for three years and the other for an Issue of notes.

"The earnings of the railroad proper, i I have stated, were sufficient to cover the full Income Interest charges, but aside from that the Ocean Steam ship Company, owned by the Central of Georgia, has earned enough on Its own account to meet the Income bond Interest and this has not been figured In at all.” - FOREIGN SPINNERS IN Dll MEETING London, Aug. 30.—Unusual Interest Is manifested by English spinning and manufacturing concerns- In- the cot ton congress to be held In Atlanta, Ga., October 7 to 9.

'It Is hoped that good will result from the conference with the growers In America," said ^Vllllam Feling, a prominent manufacturer. "I am cer tain that we will have cotton shipped In better shape and systematize eco nomics which not only will be a saving to the manufacturers In Europe, but will admit of better prices to the grow. There Is nothing as simplifying In connection with the cotton trade as heart to heart talks with the men who ' growthe crops." FULTON WILL PAY . TENTH OF TAXES New York, Aug. 30.—J. P.
