MORE CAKE NEEDED IN TACKING
COTTON
Liverpool cotton buyer* bare often of
late met with aerioua losses in conae
•quencc of the bad condition of the lint
received at that port from thia country.
Bales that to outward appearance were
all right, have been found to contain
large quantities of poor lint. S i serious
has this become that foreign b'lyera have
sought the aid of the National Depart
ment of State to remove the evil. Should
Jt continue it will discredit An rican
cotton in foreign markets to an extent
that will affect the value of every year'a
crop, for neither forolgn nor A merican
mills wlii pay the face value for cotton
until they are sure that it is what it it
represented to be. Messrs Alex. Sprunt,
A Son, o'. Wilmington, N. C., extensive
exporters of cotton, have island a circu
lar to cotton planters and buyers in
wbloh grave reasons are given why
everybody in the busings* should com
bine to restore and maintain the reputa
tion of American cotton. After stating
that “a large part of last season’s hold
ing* was rendered unmerchantable and
worthless by previous exposure to the
weather in open fields or under the eaves
of outhouses," and that muiiy exporters
were deceived and made su n heavy
lasses from damage and falling oil In
weight that they had reached a fixed de
termination to refuse sll cotton that bad
not been properly housed this season,
the circular says:
Our purpose Is to show tha such o irelem-
naas reacts up in tbs planter. Many bales
which came to us last .prl> g apparently dry
and In good condition were found, upon ex
amination by the testing rod, to bo utterl v
rotten and valueless, tn one Instance s bale
of apparen'tydry cotton weighing GW pounds
was opened for examination aui found to
contain 830 puna la of ro'tsn cotton, which
wse sold for about ons cent a pound. Many
other similar prloes o uld be quoted, but this
will suffico to Justify the warning that a
planter or merchant who Ilake Ills cotton ont
of doors In bad weather Is likely to snlTer
serious ooaaequenees—In heavy allowances
for damage, or tbs u.ter rejection of t ■« cot
ton as nnmsrohantoble.
Hare Is work for the educational de
partment of the Farmers’ Alliance. The
preparation of cotton for the market
does not end at the gin and the baling
press. Until it puses from them to the
merchant It should b* sheltered; after
that the responsibility for its condition
ruts with the buyers and the transpor
tation companies. As a rule, If it leave*
the baling prewin prlmo order,' it will
be found in the same eondition when
the bale is opened at the mill, Messrs,
Sprunt A Son have not overrated the
importance of care-taking on the plan
tation and by Interior buyers.—Manu

Tag governor wu placed in a rather
humiliating position the other <J»y when
he wu forced to oonfeu that he had-no
means of aiding the (afferent at Harris'
Neck, or of doing what wu necessary to
be done U. cheek the emall-pox epldemto
there. Bat, u a matter of fact, he wu
powerless, and bad to permit the na
tional government to do what the state
ought to have been prepiucd to do. The
national government responded prompt
ly and willingly to the reqnut for assist
ance, and its action is appreciated, bnt
this continual calling on the national
government to exercise the functions of
state government is ealenlated to mag
nify in the e/es of the people the impor
tance of the national government end
lessen their respect for and dependence
' upon state government!. The time may
oome when the central government will
be dlspoted to encroach upon the author
ity of tho state government*, and it may
be found then, when too late, - that the
people are not u Jealous of the right*
Of the statu u their but interests re
quire they should be.—Savannah News.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
Washington, November 21.—The
coming session of Congress promises to
be one of the most interesting, particu
larly, to democrats and opponents of
the present high Lai iff, we have had for
jura. Notwithstanding the republican
majority in the Senate there is a proba
bility that some of the worst futures of
the McKinley law may be modified if not
repealed, and the democratic House
will su that the appropriations are kept
within reasonable bounds. The people
have had enough of billion dollar Con
gresses.
The Speakership contest is now In
very interesting stage, and, In aplte of
the assembling of Congress, It la still in
doubt It had been considered previous
to this week that Mr. Mills wu slightly
to the lead, although lacking considera
ble of enough votes to nominate him,
with Mr. Crisp a close second. It is
now thought that this is reversed! ow
ing to the announcement that the Dem
ocratic members from New York city
would support Mr. Crisp. These mem
bers are all conuected with Tammany
Hall, and there it a disposition among
some of the opponents of Mr. Crisp to
call him the Tammany candidate, but
remembering the fate with which Mr.
Fassett met for calling Governor-elect
Flowers “Tammany eandidate,” they
speak softly. It is the belief of many
shrewd observers that neither Mill* nor
Crisp will be elected, but that the honor
will go to some of the other candidates,
McMillin, Springer, Bynum, Hatch or
Wilson.
Considerable amusement wu created
here by Secretary Foster’s attempt, In
hi* financial speech before the New York
Chamber of Commerce this week, to
oatek both free coinage and anti-free
coinage men in the ume net. It will
hot add to his fame as a financier, but as
a Juggling feat it Is worthy of Its author
and In keeping with the policy ho has
followed from the first he took charge of
the country’s finances.
The Shermag-Foraker fight In Ohio,
may result in disrupting the cabinet be
fore Mr. Blaine’s presidential upiration
does it. Ittsno secret in Wuhlngton
that Blaine dislikes Sherman, and that
the feeling la cordially returned, nor is
It that Mr Harrison has long ago thrown
the administration's influence to Sher
man- To add insult to injury Mr, Har-
son treated Foraker in suoh a brusque
manner the other day when he called at
the Wbils Houu to pay bis respects,
that the fiery Ohian took himself off in
a huff, and went to Mn Blaine, his
friend, for consolation. This week Sec
retary Foster raised a big row In the
Ohio Republican associativa! which con
tain* many friends of Foraker, by mak
ing a speech in favor of the re-election
of Sherman. Mr. Blaine doun't like
like this and it la believed that be Is
bringing all the personal Influence be
can command in Ohio to Foraker's aid,
and that Foraker it to reciprocate next
year.
Tbe adminlstiatlon has on opportun
ity of showing whether It hu sufficient
backbone to fight tbe eteamsbip and
Cutle Garden ring In New York, as Mr.
Scultbels, who wu selected u a member
of tbe commiuion to visit Europe for
thepurpnee of invutigating Immigra
tion at the request of tbe president of
t ie Federation of Labor, has, by a trip
from Europe in the steerage of a steamer,
secured evidence that the steamship offi
cials and the government officials at tbe
Hew York end were In ooUusion to vlo
late the Immigration laws.
The day after tbe state elections Sec
retary Bosk remarked that the Massa
chusetts leather manufacturers ought, to
bs punished for not having carried the
state for the Republicans, by haring the
duty restored upon foreign hides. The
matt ter was regarded as one of “Uncle
Jerry’s” jokes, bnt as he seriously makes
the reoommendation In his annual report
he was evidently In earnest.
The ease involving the constitutional
ity of that clause of the snti-lotteiy law
prohibiting the earrying of newspapers
containing lottery advertisements in tbe
mails was argued this week before the
Supreme Court It ia of course lmpoi
tlble to say until the decision is handed
down what impression the arguments
made upon tbe court, but the Impression
outside was that Attorney General Mil
ler was out-classed and got decidedly the
worst of it
Tbe movement to steal Senator Brice's
ssst has been abandoned since it was
learned that 8enator Sherman has re
fused to enter into it
Democrats here take no stock in the
talk about patting Governor Raesell of
Massachusetts on the national ticket
The Bell telephone monopoly this
week secured a patent which had been
“hung np” in the patent office since
1877, for what is known as the Berliner
combined telegraph and telephone,
A DEFUNCT ANGEL.
Tbe “Angel of the Wiregraas” baa
ceased to flop its wings, its pinions hav
ing gone in a pboenixloua blaxe (so to
speak) at Sumter, S 0. last Sunday.
One of the first enterprises that was
inaugurated to start Americas off on her
present growth aod prosperity, was tbe
erection of a cotton compress in 1880.
In view of the great and good things
which this compress was to do for
Southwest Georgia, it was named tbe
“Angel of the Wiregraas,” and until tbe
spring of 1800, would flop its wlugs with
a loud voice that could ba beard for
miles around whenever a bale was
pressed. Then a compress of greater
capacity was substituted; and tbe
“angel” was bought by Mr. A.. K. Clark,
who moved It to Sumter, S. C. a year
ago last spring.
On last Sunday a fire broke out which
resulted in the complete destruction of
Mr. Clark's plant. The "angel,” how
ever, bad its life insured for (20,000, and
while its surviving relatives mourn its
untimely end, they are not inoonsoiable
over their loss.
The “aogell” has served its day and
generation well, having compressed pro
bably a half million bales In Augusta,
Amerious and Sumter the last ten years.
Requiescat in peace!
Colonel Livingston has shown him
self a sensible Atllancemsn and, what la
better, a sound Democrat. He does not
approve the policy which seeks to force
the ownership of railroads into the bands
of the government or to make Alliance
demands more vigorous and senseless.
He puts Alllaneemen on notice that he
Is a Demoorat who will go Into the cau
cus in Congress and will support the
nominee for Speaker, whether Alllance-
men like it or not. Whatever people
may say against Colonel Livingston, he
has shown himself a staunch Democrat
in this Instance, with the nerve to stand
by his party.—Savannah Press.
W. C. Russell, druggist desires to in

severe cold in less time than any other

Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. It is a
medicine that has won famo and popu
larity on its merits and one that can
always be deperded upon. It Is the
only known remedy that will prevent
croup. It is put up In 50 cent and (1
