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.

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. — O.R.

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.
