Convention of Millera-A Permanent
Millers' Assoriation Organized—The
K.'illroade to He M(‘moralized.
The Convention of Millers, to which
reference has been made from time to
time in these columns, met yesterday
morning at 11 o’clock, at the office of
Messrs. Stovall A Hull.
The following mills were represented:
Augusta—KxcelsiorMills—Capt. T. P.

Clark, A. K. Clark; Granite Mills—W.
M. Jackson; Empire Mill—M. I.
Branch; Greene Street Mills—Geo. W.

Wm. Maxwell,
Capt. Stovall r»ad the following ad
dress to the Convention:
Gknti.kmkn—The occasion which
brings us together to-day is one of
much interest to the manufactures of
Georgia. Milling, second in importance
to the manufacture of cotton, needs
only a fair field and cijual justice to de
velop rapidly in growth and to open
new channels to trade and industry.
Biehmond and Baltimore illustrate what
milling lias done to build up a large and
lucrative trade with the markets of the
world. Shall we in Georgia lie domi
nant and allow the ample returns of en
terprise, now almost within our grasp, to
drop into other hands, to enrich other
sections of the country ?
The exports to foreign countries from
New York the past year shows the fol
lowing :
To the British Ta1e5—213,512 barrels
of flour ; 14,103,77] bushels of wheat.
To the Continent of Europe—s,B27
barrels of flour ; 2,259,798 bushels of
wheat.
To the West 1ndie5—124,459 barrels
of flour; 188 bushels of wheat.
To South America—22l,o93 barrels of
Hour ; 2,444 bushels of wheat.
A careful examination of these figures
will show that over seventeen times as
much wheat is shipped to the British
Dies and the Continent of Europe as
flour, because freight on wheat is
cheaper.
The exports of flour prodnets to the
West Judies and South America are
three times greater than to Great Bri
tain and the Continent. This ratio is
increased still more by adding the ship
ments from Baltimore and Richmond.
Before the war Georgia had a fine
trade in flour with the West Indies and
South America the quality of her pro
duct giving promise of securing a rich
share of that important branch of com
merce. Since the war nothing has been
done to re-open this trade. Why is not
the effort made 7 I answer, it can be
done again, and that every flour mill in
Georgia now built, and others to be
erected, can be taxed to their utmost ca
pacity to supply the demand, if our rail
way companies will do justice in the
transportation of wheat. A direct trade
in flour would also open a return trade
in the products of those countries,
which would send the cars loaded to the
interior and the West.
These are not impossibilities. We
are living in an age of rapid change, of
great activity and stupendous energy.
Let us consider nothing impossible
which presents such inviting prospects
to the miller, and indirectly to the poo
plo«of the State. Tho mills aro doing
but a limited trade now in supplying the
home demand. A reference to the fig
ures below will enable you to prove to
those interested how our railways are
working to build up milling in the
West, and crushing our own energies by
a rushing head-long policy to bring
freights for nothing one way and return
their cars empty.

These figures do not present all tjae
facts. Flour is made an article of spe
cial freight contract, and wheat is not.
A merchant in this city informed mo
that hi‘ hud contracted recently at 15c.
per barrel, less freight, than the regu
lar rab>s, and you all know that a barrel
of Hour is often shipped at 190 lbs., and
no charge for the weight of the barrel;
and again, in some instances, a hundred
barrels are placed in the ear at the price
of ninety. The railway companies say
rolling freight is better than hulk grain.
It does not look reasonable, however,
when the bulk grain is neither loaded or
unloaded at the expense of the railroads.
It is a cardinal rule in transportation
that the raw material should be carried
at lower rates than the manufactured
products; besides, in cases of damage or
loss, the risk of the road in wheat is
less in proportion to its lesser value.
This Convention has been called to
advance the great Vito rest of milling, j
and 1 greet you, gentlemen, with a hear- j
tv welcome, and congratulate you that j
we are the first to move in a matter of !
so much importance.
On motion of Mr. Butr, of Macon, the ;
Convention was organised by calling j
Col. T. P. Stovall, of Augusta, to the j
Chair. Mr. G. \V. Bates, of Macon, was i
requested to act as Secretary.

vited to participate in the deliberations
of the Convention.
Mr. Jno. M. Clark suggested the ap
pointing of a committee to draft a me
morial tojthe railroads, askiug them to ;
equalize freights on wheat and dour.
Mr. Whitehead thought it would be ,
best first to organize into a Millers’ As- !
sociation, as the memorial would then ,
have more force.

head, and thought millers iu all parts of
tins State and South Carolina should be i
requested to co-operate.

equalize the tariff.
Mr. Branch’s motion was adopted.

ing cities; Savannah, Macon, Atlanta.
Charleston and Augusta, with the Presi
dent as Chairman.

jen, Burr and Cook.
Mr. W. M. Jackson said that his:

Director in the Georgia Railroad as well
as a mill owner, could take no part in the
Convention.
Mr. Branch said that if all railroad
men were as liberal as Maj. Jackson
there would be no trouble.
It was determined that the committee
should make their report iu circular
form, and send a copy to each of the
miller# of this State and South Carolina.

Patronage That Pays. —That noble
institution, tho Public Library of Ken
tucky, has permanently established its
prosperity by the three gift concerts it
has already given under its charter. It
now boasts of a building that cost
8210,000, with a library of over 50,000
volumes, and a magnificent cabinet.
The fourth grand gift concert for its
further endowment will take place De
cember 3, and at this concert 81.500,000
cash is distributed to tho ticket holders,
the highest prize being 8250,000, and
scaling down to prizes of 850, which is
the smallest sum given. As there is a
prize to every fifth ticket it is easy to
see that the patronage of this concert is
a patronage that pays, there being great
chances of great gains, and only small
chances of small losses. Hon. Thos.
E. Bramlette, late Governor of Ken
tucky, is the manager, and tickets and
information may be obtained by ad

A GOOD THING DULY APPRE

NO BENEFICIAL KEVOLUTION EVER
goes backward ; and this maxim is as invaria
ble in medicine as in politics. The advent of
llostetter's Stomach Bitters, twenty years ago,
produced a revolntion in the treatment of a
large class of ailments, and that revolution has
ever since been iu "the full tide of successful
experiment." If that tide has borne the pro
prietors of the celebratod vegetable specific
"on to fortune," it has also borne thousands of
human beings, who were languishing under the
effects of disease, weak and hopeless, out of
the depths of despondency into the paradise of
health and cheerfulness. It is no exaggera
t ion to sav that to the vigor, the regulaiity of
habit of body, the good appetite and perfect
digestion, acquired under the operation of this
unequalled tonic and corrective, multitudes of

Meekly Review of Augusta Markets.
OFFICE CHRONICLE & SENTINEL. i
Augusta, Ga., September 26, 1373— P. M. f
COTTON REVIEW.
The money panic prevailing over the country
entirely unsettled the cotton market during
the current commercial week, and quotations
in the main have been merely nominal. For
the last three days the market has been ex
ceedingly irregular, and transactions few and
(•mall, there being no money to pay for the
cotton. The market is virtually blocked, but
there are strong hopes that this state of things
will cease in a very short time, as planters'
obligations mature and the financial stringency
is relieved. Quotations have been altogether
nominal to-day. and no regular basis can be re
ported.
Below will be found a resume of the week's
business:
Satubday, Bept. 20.—Under the influence
of tho impending financial troub'es our
market continues dull and depressed. The
opening to-day was quiet with a limited de
mand. holders asking 16} cents for Liver
pool Middling, while buyers bid fully }@}c.
under. They remained apart in their views dur
ing the day! thus in a great measure restrict
ing operations. We quote the close dull and
unsettled. The inquiry to-day was principally
for handsome styles of Middling. Sales of
New York Middling were made at 17c., all other
grades were nominal and neglected. Sales.
384: receipts, 519; offerings free, especially of
good cottons.
Monday, 22. —We report a continued dullness
in our market. The offerings to-day were
good, while the demand was light, with but
few buyers in the market. It closed dull and
irregular, the quotations of Middling ranging
from Bales. 377 : receipts. 510 bales.
Tuesday, 2-3.—'The market opened with a fair
demand, holders asking 15}c. for Middling.
Toward the latter part of tlie day it became
firmer, and with an increased demand prices
advanced }c.. sales being made at 15}. though
at the close it was irregular at that figure.
Sales, 660 bales : receipts. 759.
Wednesday, 24. —The continued stringency in
financial circles has, we may say, completely
paralyzed our cotton market. At the opening it
exhibited but little animation, and buyers were
scarce. It finally became perfectly dormant, and
so continued up to the close, at which time
it was exceedingly dull, with virtually no de
mand in force. We quote it merely nominal,
sav 15@154c. for full style Liverpool Middling.
Hales, 170 bales; receipts. 668.
Thursday, 25.—The pending financial panic
has caused a complete suspension of business
in cotton circles to-day. >Ve hear of sales
amounting toonlv 17 bales, mail© ac very irregu
lar prices. We omit quotations, as we find it
utterly impossible to obtain anv that would in
any respect be correct. Receipts, 952 bales.
Friday, 26.—Nothing doing, the market be
ing in such a condition as to render it unquot
able. Hales of 17 bales were made during the
day at irregular rates. Receipts. 714 bales.

PRODUCE REVIEW.
During the early part of the week wo noticed
some stir among our merchants, evidently the
fact that some little trade was going on. To
wards tho middle of the week the effects of
the money panic was seriously felt, and upon
tho suspension of several of our banking
houses biithiess became almost totally to a
stand still. The extremely lignt trade doing at
present is carried on by consumers, whose im
mediate wants compel them to purchase. For
speculation there is no demand existing at
present. Prices in general are nominal and
unchanged.

It is rather difficult to give a report of the
market while it remains in its present condi
tion. There is virtually no market at all. To
day. as previously noted, under the pressure of
the existing financial crisis, it has been entirely
without animation. There has beeu no de
mand during the day. Holders are spare in
their offerings, and show no anxiety to sell, at
least at the prices offered, were tile available
means at hand to effect such. We could obtain
no regular or reliable quotations, we are there
fore again compelled to omit them. Sales, 19
