cotton imaiim;.
A correspondent to the Constita
• tion writing on the above subject
*ay»:
The fact that an enormons num
her of bales will be covered with
cotton this year, in Georgia proba
bly a large majority of the crop,
makes the status of this new method
one of serious import, and the reason
j why it has not been already settled
is just this: The world has under¬
estimated the determination of the
southern men to right so formidable
I ' V * ‘
f general , principles • - J in - making . . & a fore
cast , of , the outcome . of , this matter. ..
„
j As to the relative merits, the indis¬
putable facts are these: The best
; jute bagging is stronger than cotton,
i Die poorer articles not so strong.
Cotton is strong enough, and can be
made of any strength. Jute is the
most inflammable, contains strives,
stains the cotton, and does not pro¬
tect it so well; absorbs water quick¬
er and mere of it, is more difficult to
dry, and rots more rapidly, and
front the manner in which it hides
dirt and damage is conducive of
rough handling on the farm and in
transit,and by concealingthis damage
makes it impossible to get clean re¬
ceipts for cotton, and so tho difficul¬
ty in placing the blame of damage
where it belongs, makes all handlers
careless, and thus claims for damage
being an item to be figured out of
prospective profits, affect the price
per pound to farmers. Too great a
stress cannot be laid on this point,
and if cotton covering does nothing
but secure for cotton respectable
treatment, the economy of it would
be easily established. As regards
tho cost of the raw materials, |ute at
three anti cotton at seven, there is
this to say: Tho jute is not worth
respimring, and the cotton is; and
probably five out of each seven cents
can be saved in this way, making a
sinking of only two, as against three
cents in jute. The other two eejifs
being also a consumption, will be a
gain in lessening the supply.
But the main issue is the matter
of tare. The customary tare on
jute-covered cotton is 6 per cent, or
30 pounds on a bale of 500 pounds.
This is made up of ten pounds of ties
and six yards of bagging at two and
a half pounds to the yard—fifteen
pounds—and five pounds of stained
cotton which lies noxt to the lute.
Now tho cotton weighs three-quar
tors of a pound per yard, six yards
four and a half pounds, and ten
pounds of ties—fourteen and a halt
pounds—and as a matter of course
put 4854 lint cotton, if covered with
jute. The question ,s shall he be
paid for this fifteen and a half
pounds of cotton or shall ho loose
it? Common sense, common law
and common honesty demands that
he should be paid. There are those
who claim that the customs of trade
will have to be altered to do so, and
that there are no means in the
hands of the dependent and impov
erished farmer to make custom yield
to law, sense and honesty. Lotus
then examine these customs.
Leaving out all but the Liverpool
and the American markets, wo find
two different methods of arriving at
a settlement for the tare or waste
matter on a bale of cotton. First
then the object ot purchasing cotton
being to spin it. In Liverpool thev
allow the buyer to take off tare-in
America where no tare is allowed,
the price per pound covers the tare,
TUo two methods are illustrated
thus: bale Liverpool says your 500
pound of cotton weighs only
470 pounds net, you must therefore
only hill me with 470
America says you deliver me only
470 pounds when 1 pat- for 500;
hence 1 will reduce my price to cover
difference. It will be seen at a
glance that the American custom
does not antagonize the payment for
the extra fifteen and a half pounds;
for as it is cotton the spinner is
buying, and the wav* he gets at the
price per pound is bv calculating fo?
how much raw material he gets
each 8100, his calculation is simply
this: “If I can pay S47 for
pounds of cotton and thirty pounds
of waste, what can I pay for .4854
pounds of cotton and fourteen and a
half pounds of waste?” And the
value of the waste being adjisted,
the price he can afford to par per
pouud is at once fixed. Should he
agree to make a standard allowance
of eight pounds, it would seem he
would gam seven and a half pounds
on each bale ot cotton-covere 1 bag
ging, supposing a jute-covered make bale
loses thirty pounds. If he a
price difference, it would be about
one-fourth of a cent, leaving him a
small margin. Now for Liverpool,
Whilst the established taro of cotton
in Iriverpool is six per cent, or thir
ty pounds per bale for a bale of 500
pounds, yet it is the custom in Liv
erpool to weigh cotton net. The
practice is this: Ten or twenty
bales from each invoice of 100 bales
are selected, laid upon platform
scales and stripped clean from all
The bagging, ties and jute-stained this cleaned cotton,
actual weight of
cotton is credited as net to the seller
at the invoice price per pound, and
the actual weight of the ties bag
ging and refuse is also credited to
to him at a most insignificant price, if
—r« pound. then, in
tlm process tho jute-coverod cotton
loses thirty pounds and the cotton
covered bales only fourteen and one
haif, the exporter is credited in one
ease with 4>0 pounds of cotton and
30 pounds ot waste, rind in the other
with 485|-pounds ot cotton and 144
pounds ol waste, and if on the other
he gains 1 d 4 pounds of cotton, he
can allow the former S pounds out
of this and still be aheacf 74 pounds
ot clean net cotton. I luis it will
be seen that Liverpool r ot only al
lows the 8 pounds, but if there is
more cotton in a bale than the 8
j I margin t‘,° of clean vic°v cotton Vf “he is fact the that side a
on
of cotton bailed in light weight and
i non staining covering, the question
arises how can the poor farmer get
{ paid lies for this margin. The answer The
in the nature of the case
changes of the past few years have
j placed “spinners agents” in all of
the cotton producing sections and
many of our largest buyers for for¬
eign accounts are represented in
their own country by their own
firms, who, in turn, are in many
cases Now practically spinners’ agents.
as soon as these spinners’
agents rind out that this margin of
net cotton exists as a matter of
course they will seek it, and if it
amounts to anything they will offer
a premium for it. When they do
this, they will not only get these
bales, but by taking them, get the
run of all other bales. Buyers, then
who are not so favorably placed,
must either ceaso buying, or by their
own efforts place themselves on an
equal footing, and competition will
soo-a which regulate the amount of pay
tho farmer will get for iris
extra cotton. In its last analysis
the case is this: Never mind who
buj-s cotton, or whero it goes to, or
how it is put up, the number of
pounds which reaches the spinner is
all he will pay for, but he certainly
will pay for that amount. It would
soetn that 1 have written a long ar¬
ticle to prove a plain and simple
caso, but the fact that so many
things are being said, and things so
far from the truth that definite in¬
formation seems needed. Of course
the above figures can bo changed
and modified, but the principles
remain.
It is being contended also that the
cotton well, bagging can be torn, etc.,
this year the enormous profit
on jute has given us good bagging
and imperfect machinery poor cot
ton cloth, but a trade which has
stood the wrotced stuff of past years
can stand a little in the way of im¬
perfect strength now and while a
a man can take a hook and tear the
covering on or indeed off a cotton
bale, there is no real need for him to
do so. It is time for men to treat
tho cotton business fairly and it is
the duty of producers to require them
to do so.

When Women Should Marry.
I *
ispital.
t Probably the^ ? st time for tho
j erage woman to marry would be
any age between twenty-four and
tiirty-six. It is not said that no
wjman should marry earlier or later
ttan either of these ages; but youth
a d health and vigor are ordinarily
ab their highest perfection botween
these two periods. Early marriages
a^e seldom desirable for girls, and
that for many reasons. The brain is
immature the reason is feeble, and
the character is unformed. The
consideration which would prompt a
girl to marry at seventeen would, in
many cards have little weight with
her at twenty-four. At seventeen
she is a child, at twenty-four a
woman.
Where a girl has intelligent
parents, the seven years between
8 ^ven and twenty-four are the period
^rien mind and body are most
a aendable to wise discipline, and
best repay the thought and toil de

seventeen few girls have learned to

Great Damage Reported—Eight Cloud
burnt.) Since May 1.*
Charlotte, N. C., August 26—
Cloudbursts in North Carolina this
year are proving more disastrous
than ever known before in the his
tory of the state. So far eight have
been reported since May first, and
great damage has been done.
Only about two weeks ago the city
of Fayetteville was flooded by a ter¬
rible cloudburts just over tho heart
of the city. The water for several
hours flooded the streets, and many
people were driven from the ground
floor to the stairs in order to escape
the dashing waves. The small
creeks on which were situated tho
cotton factories were swollen and
the factory hands were made to run
foe their lives. The mill dams were
washed away, and water covered
the first floor of the mills, and the
machinery was greatly damaged.
Only a week ago a cloud burst in
Catawba county and a farmer with
his house and wifo were floated and
at last dashed to death.
The latest disaster caused by cloud
bursts occurred in Richmand county
last night, and the town of Rocking
ham, on the C. C, railroad, about one
hundred miles from here, sustains
the heaviest loss. The cloud burst
about hall a mile above the town,
right over tho Pedoe river and in¬
stantly the stream was swollen out
of its bank, and went
DASHING down upon tiie town,
carrying nearly everything beforo it.
Several small cabins on the low bot¬
toms wore washed away, and the oc¬
cupants made to flee for their lives.
One old negro man named Ringgold
was caught by tho mad torrent, and
swept down to death. In many
places the water bulged out two
miles and many houses were lifted
and set afloat. Five miles of the C.
C. railroad is washed out completely
and all telegraphic communications
are cut off by tho terrible floods.
The reports at a late hour to-night
from the nearest point to Rocking¬
ham says that great damage has been
done to the Roberdol Great
Falls, Pedee and Midway cot¬
ton mills. Some cotton factories are
said to be washed completely away,
or so near it that they are totally
ruined. It is feared that many peo¬
ple have been drowned. No esti¬
mate of the loss or further particu¬
lars can bo learned to-night.

Cuba for the Colored People.
Griffin News.
Senator Wade Hampton is willing
for the government to buy Cuba for
the colonization of tho colored people.
He says it would be a little hard on
the present generation in securing
laborers, but would be for the gen¬
_ the
eral good in the end. lt is true
south would lose some congressmen
and some votes in the electoral col¬
lege, but the Carolina Senator is will¬
ing to give up some political strength
for this solution of the race question.
This question assumes unusual
prominence when a man as distin¬
guished and beloved as the gallant
Hampton expresses himself so
strongly. We do not believe the
south is yet ready to give up the ne¬
gro as its best acclimated and most
reliable farm laborer, but if the race
issue is kept alive and is stirred by
the unwise and incendiary leaders of
the colored people, like the Alabama
negro editor and others in this state
and if voodooism and laziness shall
continue to depreciate the value and
efficiency of labor, we shall begin to
think like the senator that conoiiza

1’oiut* on Picture Hanging,
Pittsburgh Dispatch.
Most persons who frequent picture
galleries have heard the expression
“hung on the line,” and among the
number there are doubtless some few
who have rather vaguely wondered
as to the meaning. If there are any
such, it may afford them some sat¬
isfaction to know that a picture is so
spoken of when it is hung on tho
level of the eyes of the spectator.
They are said to be “skied” when
they are placed so "high that it is
difficult for one standing upon tho
floor to comfortably bring them
within the range of vision, and the
meaning of this term many an artist
is familiar with to his sorrow. It
will be readily understood that a
picture placed either too high up or
too low down upon the wall is seen
at great disadvantage, though per¬
haps the latter position is the more
preferable of the two, for the reason
that if it be of any considerable
size it can not be placed so low down
but what the top of it wiil como
somewhere near the proper height,
and the wholo of it may bo easily
seen by stopping back a few paces,
but there is practically no limit to
the space overhead and occasionally
at some of tho crowded exhibitions
a picture gets placed so high that it
might as well not be shown at all.
Aside from the comfort of tho
spectators, by pictures lose materially
being looked at from any point
of view but one directly in front of
them. The lines governing tho
perspective of any pictorial repre¬
sentation are only seen in their
proper relation to each other
when the eyes are directed squarely
upon the canvas and focused upon
tho spot which forms the vanishing
point of its principal planes. View¬
ed in any other manner the drawing
appears more or less weak, and in
place of impressing the beholder
with the boldness and relief of tho
various objects represented, it as¬
sumes the appearance of a flat sui-n
face, and the effect of perspective is
then very much lessened, save only
as it is sustained by tho different
weights of color and lone.
All things considered, it is small
wonder that when an artist has ex¬
pended his best efforts in the pro¬
duction of a picture, and has finally
seut it forth to run tho gauntlet ot
public opinion and to be criticized
along with the best work of his com¬
peers, It is small wonder indeed that
he is desirous of having it “hung on

How to Cure Nervou* Horae*.
Home, Farm and Factory.
“Finely bred, intelligent horses,”
said a trainer recently, “are often
nervous. They are quick to notice,
quick to take alarm, quick to do
what seems to them, in moments of
sudden terror, necessary to escape
from possible harm, from something
they do not understand. That is
what makes them shy, bolt and run
away. Wc cannot tell what awful
suggestions strange things offer to
their minds. It may be that a sheet
of white paper in the roadway seems
to the nervous horse a yawning
chasm, the open front of a baby car¬
riage the jaws of a dragon ready to
devour him, and a man on a bycicle
some terrifying sort of a flying devil
without wings. Directly, however,
he becomes familiar with these ob¬
jects, and he is entirely indifferent
to them. Therefore, when your
horse shies at anything, make him
acquainted with it, let him smell it,
touch it with his sensitive upper lip
and look closely at it. He may not
learn all in one lesson, but continue
the lessons and you will cure your
horse of all nervousness.”
Mr. J. R. Grinstead, Senora Ky.,
says: My children have sometimes
had boils and other signs of blood
smpurities, with loss of appetite, etc.,
at which times I have found Swift’s
Specific a most successful remedy in
no instance failing to effect a speedy
and permanent cure.
Swifs’s Specific is a great bless¬
ing to humanity,” says Mr. P. E.
Gordon, of 725 Broad street, Nash¬
ville, Tenn., “for it cured me of
rheumatism of a very bad type with
which I had been troubled for three
or four years. S. S. S. cif^d me
after 1 had exhausted everything
else.
Mr. Russell Myrick, of the firm
of Myrick & Henderson, Fort Smith,
Ark., says he wishes to add his tes¬
timony to the thousands which have
already been given as to Swift’s
Specific. He says be derived the
most signal benefit from its use to
cure painful boils and sores resulting
from impure blood.
When taken for a few days, pot¬
ash mixtures impair the digestion,
take away the appetite, and dry up
the gastric juices which should assist
in digesting and assimilating the
food. Swift’s Specific has just the
opposite effect; it improves digestion
brings appetite, and builds up the
general health.
