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 cipally that the cotton cannot be ex- i o r F -ms ’WW *'lH —imw 11 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.” Druggists sell Dr. Pierce’s Pleasant Pel lets. They cure constipation. They cure quickly and permanently and never gripe. One is a gentle laxative ; two a mild cathartic. 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. T.)

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. Small precautions often prevent great mischiefs.

SUFFERING WOMEN. z How Many of Them Have Quietly Obtained Advice That Made Them Well. My sister, If you find that in spite of •following faithfully your family doc tor’s advice, you are not getting well, why do you not try another course ? Many and many a woman has quietly written to Mrs. Pinkham, of Lynn, Mass., stating her symptoms plainly and clearly, and taken her advice, which was promptly received.

I had female troubles in their worst form, suffered untold agonies every month ; my womb tipped back to my backbone, had headache, hysteria, fainting spells, itching, leu corrhoea. “ My feet and hands were cold all the time, my limbs were so weak that I could hardly walk around the house; was troubled with numb spells. I have taken four bottles of Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound, one bottle of her Blood Purifier, one pack age of her Sanative Wash, and am entirely cured. I have not had one of those numb spells since. Can you wonder that I sing the praises of a medicine that has cured me of all these ills ?” —Mrs. Louisa Place, 650 Bel mont St., Brock Aon, Mass.

ALLPOHT DENOUNCED. Chief Wlfcnea. For lh. 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.

You have never tried DeWitt’s Little Early Risers tor these complaints or you would have been cured. They are small pills, but great regulators. For sale by Curry-Arrington Company, Rome, Ga, 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.'
