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 facturin' Record. 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 firm the public, that he is agent for tbe most successful preparation that has yet been produced for coughs, colds and croup. It will loosen and relieve severe cold in less time than any other treatment Tbe article referred to is Chamberlain's Cough Remedy.
