So that it is true that the cotton incom¬ ing in faster than it can be counted accurately. Besides this, warehousemen do not always like to give exact figures every day. Boms days one ware weighs very little and another a great deal, while the nAt day this may be reversed.

Savannah, Ga., Oet. 9.—[Special.] —The Lower Hydraulic cotton press, the Tyler press and jive cotton sheds at the foot of Bay street burned be¬ tween 2 and 3 o’clock thk morning Four thousand five hundred bales of cotton stored in the warehouses were also burned. The total loss by the fire will approximate $400,000. The fire started in one corner of the No, 2 warehouse, back of the Lower press, and flashed into a blaze, which spread over the entire yard before any effort could be made to cheek it. A stiff breeze was blowing and fanned the flames beyond the control of the fire department, which was almost totally powerless. A lack of water in tiie main leading to the yards gave the fire full sweep. •‘Woman! be tan ur, we must adore thee; Smile, and a worl -orld is weak before thee!” But bow can a woman smile when she complaints is suffering from untold misery from which we men are exempt?
