RUSH TO MARKET
NEW COTTON CROP
CAUSES CONGESTION
Special to The Georgian.

bor to handle it, not nearly all of the
cotton could bo stored on the platforms
and large loti were thrown on the
ground. Wagons, loaded with cotton,
stood on all the streets several blocks
from the yards. It being a matter of
Impossibility to throw o(f their loads
before their "turns." Many remained
In line during which time the weigh
ers at both yards were doing all they
could to relievo the congestion. Find
ing It Imposelble to get their cotton
weighed and placed on the platform, a
great many farmers, who had arrived
In the city early in the morning, hauled
It out to the suburbs and threw It off
to stay until they had the opportunity
to get iuweighed. It is estimated that
there were more than one thousand
bales hauled to this market Saturday,
of which 805 were weighed.
The market was off. the best cotton
bringing 10 1-2 cents. Many refused
le-s than 11 cents and either stored or
carried It back home.
