Some very strong objections to the new round ootton bale are made by Capt. Thomas Young, an experienced cotton exporter of Charleston. Speak ing ths other day of a round bale which weighed 356 pounds, Capt. Young asserted that it would take up more space in the hold of a ship than a square compressed bale weighing 500 pounds, while it would be much more difficult to handle, for the reason that, lacking iron bands, it could not be safely bandied with hooks. He nailed attention also to the fact that it was almost impossible to (’raw a satis factory sample from the round bale, a* end samples are not desirable, and to elit the bagging would result in the bulging or bursting of the halo. Ac cording to Oa]»t. Young’s view, while | ® the round bale might do for abort distance transportation, it is not the proper thing for the rough handling which must oceui incident to a long distance voyage across the ocean Savannah News. , Don’t Tobacco spit and iuaokc Toor life A**y.

IS THE OLDEST IN THE UNITED STATES AND THE LARGEST IN THE WORLD. Since organisation to the present time, it has paid and now holds on policies not yet due the enormous sum of $716,000,000. Its dividend record is unsurpassed by any other company in the world. It protects your dividends in case of death and provides for your old age. See that your policy has this clause inserted in it. As compound results are the source of life of all the old hue companies, what is best for the company should be best for tbe insured. And for best results take a policy in the grand old MUTUAL LIFE. Fathers see to it that the daughter, the pride of your heart, when as sailed by the vicissitudes of life and touched by the cruel hand of fate, shall be provided with a guaranteed income lor life. The MUTUAL LIFE, the strongest financial institution known on the globe—twice as large as the Bank of England—writes that guarantee. And to the patriotic soldier who feels called upon to avenge the wrongs to his country, we say don’t forget the loved ones at nome—the Mutual Life is prepaxed to take care of all. And for the benefit of those who have a policy in this grand old company we give the following extract from a letter of the president, Richard A. McCurdy: “I wish you to assure every policy-holder in this Company that his rights will be fully protected under all circumstances and tha no one need hesitate to respond to the call of patriot ism or duty through fear of the forfeiture of his policy. RICHARD A. McCURDY, President.” For best plans of insurance please consult me. z -A— "577"- UTT Snecial A CENTRAL OF GEORGIA HWY GO <{» «4> «$> <s> Schedule in Effect Jan. 9, 1898.
