party for Senator from the 84th
District, will speak at Stone Mou

Senator, and our people should
turn out to hear him.
Wm. Schley Howard will also
address the people ou the same
day. As is well-known, Mr. Ho
ward is the nominee of the party to

to meet and organize there at the
same time. We hope that every
correspondent will be present and
help to increase the interest of
the day. Don’t forget the date—

THEIR INTERESTS IKKNTICAL.
Farmer*, Inner*, and the American Cot
ton Co. Hltare Roundlap Saving*.
Certain Southern papers are
publishing articles designed to
prejudice against the roundlap
bale those who do not know their
origin or purpose. They are paid
for by the square hale com
press associations, whose interest
is, not that the farmer’s cotton
shall be baled in the way that will
bring him the most mouey, but
that it iriiall be put up in bales
that will have to be compressed.
The people of the South are not
to be caught with such chaff. The
favor with which the roundlap bale
is received wherever it has been
introduced is due to its merit
alone, and to the fact that the pro
ducer receives more money for his
cotton iu this form than in any
other package. He will continue
to use the roundlap bale so lougas
he finds it profitable, and no
longer.
The interests of the farmer, the
ginner and the American Cotton
Company are identical.
The farmer has his cotton putin
roundlap bales because the savings
which accrue in their marketing
enable the buyer to pay him a
premium sufficient to pay the
baling cburge and leave him a
substantial profit besides.
Much as compressmen would
like to have farmers believe other
wise, the American Colton Compa
ny has no purpose further than
to secure for itself a fair share of
these savings. Its interest lies in
enabling the presses which it
builds to bale as much of the
Southern cotton eiop us possible.
In order to insure this result it is
essential that cotton growers find
profit in the use of these presses,
j or they would not patronize them,
j To this end. and in order that the
j full savings of which rouudlap
! bales are capable might be realized,
the American Cotton Company
became a buyer of roundlap bales,
paying for them a premium above
, the market value of square bales.
jTbus the rental which the com
pany charges for the use of its
j presses by ginuers who prefer lease
to purchase, is paid by neither the
j farmer nor the ginner, but by the
|cotton buyer (whether the Amer
j lean Cotton Company or some
other) and it is paid out of the
savings.
Beyond insuring that cottou in
roundlap bales shall in all cases
s“!l for the premium to which it is
entitled and which is paid for it at
the mills, tli- company does not
go. Its cotton lit; eemout does not J
require that a sing « bale of cotton
be sold to. the Am rn an Cottnli
Company Ginuers are free to
buy or lease pressei, and eyery
round!ap bale, with all of its
advantages, can be b mght in open
competition by any responsible
buyer and bundled through to the
mills, with all of the resultant
savings, but wherever the ordinary
cotton buyer declines to purchase
round lap bales on this basis, the
American Cotton Company stands
pledged to buy them.
The farmer who patronizes a
roundlap gin plant may retain as
complete control over his cotton
as if he took it to an old style gin
house. If he does not wish to sell
his cotton he can have it custom
ginned and keep his rondlap bales
until such time as he is ready to
dispose of them, with the assurance
that they are always salable at the
full market value of the cotton,
plus an increased price because it
is in roundlap bales. If he likes
he can arrange with the roundlap
ginner to ship his cotton to the
American Cotton Company to be
held for him and, under all
ordinary circumstances, draw
against it to 80 per cent, of its
value. The American Cotton
Company has in this way largely
assisted those who desired to hold
their cotton. It makes no com
mission charge for such business.
Three King*.
In its Sunday issue the New York
Herald published a picture of
three kings—king cotton, king
wheat and king coal. These
three kings have their thrones in
this country. For a number of
years we have been supplying
Europe with cotton for her mills
and wheat with which to feed her
people. Now it begins to look as
if the time is close at hand when
we shall have to supply her with
coal with which to run her mills
and cook the bread of her people.
Within the last few months a
great deal of American coal has
been shipped to Europe. This
has been made possible by the rise
in the prioe of coal in all Euro
pean countries. The rise was due
to the extraordinary demand and
to strikes of coal miners. The
strikes are about over now, how
ever, and it is probable that the
price of coal will be considerably
lower.
But the time is not distaut
when Europe will have to get her
supply of coal from this couutry.
Her mines are becoming exhaustd.
Already the cost of mining it is
considerably greater than it was
a few years ago. The supply in this
country is practically inexhusti
ble It haß been estimated that,
even with a very much greater
output, it is sufficient to last for
more than 2,000 years.
What is about to happen is this:
Owing to the lower cost of mining
coal in this country and getting it
to the coast, and the steady in
crease in the cost of mining coal
in Europe, it will be possible to
sell American coal in the Euro
pean market cheaper than the
home product can be sold there.
It looks like a safe prediction
that people now living will see the
nations of Europe do homage to
the three kings of the United
States —the kings of commerce.
The Trust! and Farmsri.
The trusts combined and raised
the price of nearly every commer
cial commodity, and with the aid
of a protective tariff, got great
profits out of the laboring classes
and bled the consumers, mainly
farmers.
The only prices to fall were
those ou farm products. The year
book of the Department of Agri
culture for 1899, which has re
ceutly been issued, shows that the
farm products and farm animals
in 1899, although vastly increased
in quantity since 1890, had fallen
off in valae to the extent of $706,-
979.971. This only counts as farm
products corn, wheat, oats, barley,
rye, buckwheat, potatoes, hay and
cotton. If the farm products of
1899 had brought the same prices
us did the same products in 1890,
they would have brought more
than they did by the sum of $2,-
609,487,584. —Exchange.

THE WAK IN CHINA.
Since the capture of Pekin, the
capitol of tho Chinese Empire, by
the allied powers, miltary move
ments have been at a standstill,
the commander* of the different,
forces being at a loss what to do
next, now that the imprisoned
ministers have been released, and
are awaiting further instructions
from their respective govern ments.
The flight of the Empress Dow
ager and the king has left affairs
in a chaotic condition, there being
no one iu authority with whom
negotiations can be opened.
The main objective point of the
powers was tho rescue of the minis
ters and the various attachees of
the legatii ns from their perilous
position at. Pekin, but it has never
been contemplated that the
Chinese government should be
permitted to escape proper punish
ment for the wanton butchery
of foreigners, aud the widespread
destruction of foreign property.
Before the allied armies are
withdrawn the leaders in all this
butchery of defenseless aud help
less missionaries must be surren
dered up, or captured, aud adeqate
punishment administered for their
conduct, and full monetary in
demnity made to those who have
been made to suffer by these bar
barous cruelties.
In addition to this, it is also the
duty of the powers not only to es
tablish a stable government in
China,but to see to it that fo.e'gn
ers shall hereafter receive proper
protection from that government.
If, iu order to do this, it is
necessary to depose the Man
chu dynasty, and to execute
the leaders of this outbreak, and
thus strike Huch terror in the
Chinese people that a repetition
of present conditions will uot be
possible, the civilized world de
mands that these things should be
done, without delay or hesitation.
Up to the present time uo
nation has declared war aganst
China, but it will not be a matter
of surprise if Russia, Germany and
Japan should do so within the
next two weeks. It was reported,
only a few days since, that these
governments had already taken
such action, but this rumor now
appears to have been premature.
In such an event the probability
is that the other powers will with
draw their troops from further
active movements against the
Chinese as they could uot co-oper
ate with those who have declared
war without first taking similar
action themselves.
Such a contingency would prob
ably result in a clash between
some of the great Eurpean powers,
as each is jealous of the other, and
equally determined that there
shall be no division of Chinese
territory unless it is also a ben
eficiary.
A WONDERFUL CURE OF
DIARRHOEA.
A Prominent Virginia Editor had
Almost Given up, but was
Brought Back to Perfect
Health by Chamberlain’s Col
ic, Cholera and Diarrhoea
Remedy.—Read his Editorial.
From The Times, Hillstille, Va.
I suffered with diarrhoea for a
long time and thought I was past
being cured. 1 had spent much
time and money and suffered so
much misery that I had almost
decided to give up all hopes of
recovery and await the result, but
noticing the advertisement of
Chamberleaiu’s Colic, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy and also some
testimonials stating how some
wonderful cure had been wrought
by this remedy,! decided to try it.
After taking a few doses I was
entirely well of that trouble, and
I wish to say further to my readers
and fellow sufferers that I am a
hale hearty man to-day and feel
as well as I ever did in my life. —

STORY OF A SLAVE.
To be bound head and foot for
years by tho chains of disease is
the worst form of slavery. George
D. Williams, of Manchester, Mich.,
tells how such a slave was made
free. He says; “My wife has
been so helpless for five years that
she could not turn over in bed
alone. After using two bottles of
Electric Bitters, she is wonderful
ly improved, and able to do her
own work.” This supreme reme
dy for female diseases quickly
cures nervousness, sleeplessness,
melancholy, headache, backache,
fainting and dizzy spells. This
miracle working medicine is a
godsend to weak, sickly, run
down people. Every bottle guar
anteed. Only 50 cents. Sold bv

What Foils.
At Kiuley Junction, lud , Hen
ry Winstead and John Barnes
huve made a wager. If McKinley
is elected, Barnes is to get down
on his hands and knees in Win
stead's orchard and engage in a
butting contest with a Southdown
ram that has a record < f knocking
a hole through a wall made of
three-iuoh oak planks. In case
of Bryan’s eleotion, Winstead will
drink three pints ot hard cider
while standing ou his head in an
empty flour barrel.
At Burr Oak, Mich., Arthur
Williams has eutered into a writ
ten agreement to support George
Stopheus’ mothin-in-law during
the rest of her natural life if Bry
an is elected president next fall.
Should McKinley be re-elected,
Stephens is to publicly twist the
tail of a vicious mule that Wil-
hams owns, repeating the per
formance every day for three
weeks, or until the twister is per
manently disabled,
In Illinois Horace Wilkes, of
Peru, and Walter Cartwright, of
LaSalle, have made an election bet
which is strange,but true. Wilkes,
who is an ardent Republican,
agrees that if Bryan is elected to
give up his present business and
hire himself to Cartwright as
nurse for the latter’s twin babies,
now six months old, at a salary of
50 cents a week in silver, contain- .
ing iu such service until voluntari
ally released by his employer.
Cartwright has signed articles in
which he promises if McKinley
succeeds himself as President to
look after Wilkes’ furnace and
keep his sidewalk cleaned next
winter without remuneration of
any kind. Furthermore he is to
have the right side of bis head
and face shaved twice a week for
four years, but the left side is to
he touched neither by shears nor
razor during that time.
There is more Catarrh in this
section of the couutry than all
other diseases put together, and
until the past few years was sup
posed to be iucurable. For a
great many years doctors pro
nounced it a local disease, and
prescribed local remedies, and by
constantly failing to cure with
local treatment, pronounced it
incurable. Science has proven
catarrh to be a constitutional
disease, and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Hall’s
Catarrh Cure, manufactured by
F. J. Cheney it Co., Toledo, Ohio,
is the only constitutional cure
ou the market. It is taksu
internally in doses from 10 drops
to a teaspoouful. It acts directy
on the blood and mucous surfaces
of the system. They offer one
hundred dollars for any case it
fails to cure. Send for circulars
and testimonials.
