ROUND COTTON BALE
TROST WILL BE FOUGHT
A
Savannah and New Orleans Both Against the
, New Method.
• ■ F
WOULD MEAN A BIG COTTON TRUST
If the Cylindrical Bale Machinery is
Adopted-Two Hundred Com
presses Will Be Thrown Out.
The first round cotton bales have been
exhibited in Savannah and New Or
leans.
A howl against them has gone up.
Many objectionable features were
found.
If the machinery for cylindrical baling
is generally introduced it will do away
with the labor of nearlyja million per
sons including the middle men in the
cotton trade.
The trust controlling the machinery
for round baling would eventually be a
trust dictating the price of cotton.
In New Orleans an organization is be
ing formed to fight the round baling
process, and it is likely that Rome and
other places will join in it,
In Savannah
The Savannah Press publishes the
following:
It is the concensus of opinion about
the cotton exchange today that the
cylindrical cotton bale is a failure.
Many of tne cotton men do not look
with favor upon the innovation. Most
of the gentlemen interested in cotton
saw their first bale of this description
this morning, 'll was displayed in front
of the cotton exchange by Mr. E. A-
Cutts, to whom it came consigned last
night. The bale was shipped to Savan
nah from Americus by Littleton &
Lamar, but it came originally from De
Soto, Ga.
It was grown upon the immense 5,000
acre plantation of the De Soto Planta
tion company and weighs probably 400
pounds. It is about half the size of the
average bale of cotton of that weight.
The cotton bale on exhibition is with
out hoops and is bound up with a fabric
of much Lighter weight than jute bag
ging. It had not been securely packed
and one end was ripped open. The ship
pers spoke of the lack of covering for
the bale in a letter to Mr. Cutts, the in
tention being in future to use enough
covering to tie the ends like a tobacco
sack. Mr. Cutts says the advantages
claimed for the new shape bale are that
it can be handled easier than that shaped
otherwise and that there is no waste of
cotton is sampling. The plan now is to
cover all such bales with a fine wire
fabric. This would reduce the danger
from fire and prevent the cotton being
pulled from the bales by hooks.
Objections To It.
The objections to the bales are prin

Health is the be,t inheritance. It leaves
its influence even to the third and fourth
generation. What greater happiness has
life, in store for any man than to live to a
green old age surrounded by his children
and his children’s children, and see them
all robust, happy and successful. Happy
the man who lives to carve at the wedding
suppers of his grandchildren. Picture your
self a gray-haired but hearty old man at the
head of the table at your grandson's wed
ding, thanking your Maker for the blessing
of long life, and asking the blessing of
good health for generations yet unborn. It
lies in almost every man’s power to be thus
blessed if he will. If he will only obey Nat
ure’s laws and be watchful of his health,
he will have long life and happiness.
The best preserver of health is Dr. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery. It keeps the
digestion perfect, the liver active, and the
blood pure. It is the best flesh-builder and
nerve invigorator. The man who resorts to
it whenever he feels any symptoms of ap
proaching ill-health will live to a hearty old
age. Druggists sgll it. Nothing, else is
‘“just as good.”
J. B. Holt, of Whittens Stand, Wayne Co.,
Tenn., writes: “In October, 1890, I was taken
with a hurting in the back of my neck which
steadily grew worse. I consulted a doctor. He
gave me a course of treatment but I gradually
grew worse under it. At last my trouble ran into
what was called ' spinal affection.' I could hardly
walk about at all. Finally I became as helpless
as a child. I wrote you at Buffalo, N. If.', in re
gard to my condition and you answered me
promptly and prescribed Dr. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery. I took the ‘ Discovery' and
soon got well. My health continues good.”

amined at the port to which it is des
tined. It would have to be sampled at
the gin and the sample numbered (and
forwarded by express. This makes it
unpopular with the exporters. Captain,
Strachan of Strachan & Co., said this
morning that if ootton could all be* put
in the shape of the bale exhibited by
Mr. Cutts the carrying capvcity of
ships would be greatly increased. The
bale attracted a good deal of attention
this morning. It is shorter than the ordi
nary bale and is probably three feet
through at its widest part. It looked
more like a bundle of samples ready for
a shipment than a full grown bale.
la New Orlemi
The New Orleans Times-Democrat
Says:
The/ cylindrical bale of cotton was on
exhibition again all day yesterday in the
office of Mr. Parker, on Perdido street.
The bale was examined by a great
many people in the city. It got the
marble heart.
There were cotton factors, merchants,
steamship men, cotton press men, cotton
mill men, screwmen, stevedores and
many others interested in cotton who
who went in there to inspect it, and of
the five hundred people, at least, whom
Mr. Parker says saw the cotton, not
one of them in his presence gave it a
favorable opinion
The suggestion of this style of cotton
bale taking the place of the square bale
has of course, created a great deal of
interest among local cotton people, if it
ever becomes the style in this section of
the country, as one of the cdtton men
said yesterday, it will not only do away
with the local cotton factors, local buy
ers, local compresses and screwmen, but
will close up all the country compresses,
obviate the necessity of having country
buyers—in fact, revolutionize the
whole cotton business and paralyze those
branches indicated above. It is proposed
that the backers and promoters of the
round bale buy their cotton direct from
the consumer in the field thus doing
away with all middlemen. The cotton
men here say that the system would re
sult eventually in the trust people dicta
ting terms to the producer of cotton.
They might give probably a better price
than any one else for a year or two, but
as soon as they got control cf the staple
they would dictate prices and terms to
the farmer.
Mr. Vincent of the firm of Vincent &
Hayne, who was present, said that the
adoption of that kind of cotton baling
would throw out of business all the two
hundred compresses of the South, and
would mean a revolutisn—not only a
revolution in a business sense, but one
in which the people of the country will
rise up in arms against the closing up of
a business that has given employment
to so many working people.
The bale is not well pressed—nothing
like the square bale. If adopted, it
would do away with the compress, the
cotton factors, screwmen, etc.
The cotton men have not made any
plans yet for a concented action against
the invader of the South’s greatest in
terests but will do so. There is plenty
of time, they say, but something must
and shall be done to avent the threatened
ruin to Southern planters and the peo
ple whose interests are identical with
them.

Once a Society Leader.
New York, Oct. 12.—The Journal
and Advertiser says that the woman
known as Florence Helm, who lies dead
in Roosevelt hospital from the effects of
poison taken with suicidal intent, was
once Florence Cutter, the belle of Rich
ardson, Vernon county, Mo. She was
married at the age of 16 and a year later
was a widow. A Massachusetts con
gressman visiting the Missouri town
was captivated by the young widow’s
pretty face and induced her to go with
him to Washington. He iived with her
till tired of her and then she had to
■hist for herself.

acters and so she has decided to present

Merrick,” in “The New Magdalen,”
“Pygmalion and Galatea,” “Carmen,”
and a new society drama not jet named.
Eugenie Blair’s beauty, intelligence
and great dramatic ability are almost too
well known to be expatiated upon here

true characterization and pleasing per
sonality. It is her own sweet womanli
ness which appeals most directly to hei
hearers.

best dressers on the stage, but tins sea
son she -eems to have distanced all com
petitors, and she will nightly dispiay
several marvelous gowns of the latest de

Laetgert Cue Severe! r Criticised.
Chicago, Oct. 12.—People who ad
mire legal oratory crowded the crimi
nal court building and pressed their
way toward Judge Tuthill’s courtroom.
Less than half the crowd was admitted.
Assistant State’s Attorney McEwen re
lumed his argument and 'it was an
nounced that he would speak ull day,
barring the usual intermission at mid
day.
Assistant State's Attorney McEwen
took up the subject of sesamoids. This
•oon brought him to a consideration of
the evidence of Dr. W. H. Allport, chief
osteological expert for the defense.
Rarely is a witness handled with such
biting sarcasm and scornful denuncia
tion that was heaped upon this cele
brated expert.
“He came upon the wittiest stand
with all the arrogance and self assur
ance of a bully,’* shouted the speaker,
“and left it as meek and lowly as any
being who ever entered thij budding.
He exposed to the medical profession in
open Sourt his ignorance and made hitn
■elf the laughing stock of experts the
world over.”
The mistakes Dr. Allport is alleged io
have made In identifying different bones
were enumerated, discussed and ridi
culed in the most cutting manner at the
■peaker’s command.
“And this is the man whom the de
fense asks you to believe with reference
to the identification of the bones placed
before you in evidence in this case,”
observed Assistant State’s Attorney Mc-
Ewen.
Mary Siemmering was the subject of
the assistant state’s attorney’s remarks
during the afternoon. He dwelt at
length upon her alleged relations with
Luetgert and charged that ghe was the
primary cause of the terrible murder of
Mrs. Luetgert. The woman’s testimony
in the witness box was torn to shreds
and she was denounced in unmeasured
terms.

Cold Weather
Brings Catarrh.
Though the disagreeable effects of Ca
tarrh are felt all the year round, cold and
disagreeable weather aggravates the
disease and it is during the winter sea
son that its severest form is felt. Each
succeeding year seems to intensify the
disease, so that it gradually fastens its
hold upon the sufferer with a grasp that
becomes firmer each season.
Catarrh often appears as only a cold at
firs', and is hardly noticed. But gradu
ally the cold returns, and it is more
difficult to cure,and stays longer than for
merly. These symptoms cannot be mis
taken; they mark the first appearance of a
disease that will develop in severity and
stubbornness, and which it iS impossible
to cure with the local treatment of sprays,
washes, and similar applications. Being
a disease of the blood, only a blood
remedy can have the slightest effect
upon it. S.S.S. (Swift’s Specific) is the
only cure for Catarrh, because it is the
only blood remedy which goes to the
seat of all obstinate and deep-seated
cases, and forces out the disease.
Mr. T. A. Williams, a leading mer
chant of Spartanburg, S. C., writes:
“For four years I had nasal catarrh,
and though the case was a mild one at
first.it was not long until I noticed that it
was gradually growing worse. Os course
I was under treatment of first-class phy
sicians, but their remedies were applied
locally, and the disease seemed to be get
ting a firmer hold on me all the while.
“After spending so much money for
treatment which proved to be all in
vain, IwasurgedtotryS.S.S. Thisrem
edy proved to be the right one, foritgotat
the disease, and a few bottles cured me
perfectly. The cure was a permanent
one, and I have not had a touch of the
disease for many years. Swift’s Specific
is the only remedy that will have the
slighest effect upon Catarrh.”
Sufferers from Catarrh should get a
start on the disease before the cold
weather aggravates it. Those who have
been relying upon local treatment will
find winter weather is all that is
needed to show that the disease is still
with them. A course of S.S.S. (Swift’s
Specific) win prove all assertions made
that it is the only cure for Catarrh; it goes
to the cause of the trouble—the blood—
and forces out al 1 traces of the disease.
Swift’s Specific is the oily remedy
which reaches seal obstinate blood dis
eases; it cures Catarrh, Rheumatism,
Cancer, Contagious Blood Poison, Ec
zema, Scrofula, and iu fact every other
disease.of the blood. It is guaranteed
Purely Vegetable
and is the only blood remedy containing
no potash, mercury or Other mineral.'
