and to promote and foster the business
interests of the merchants and planters
of this community by making through
freight arrangements for cotton to
Eastern ports. We prefer the railroad
it is quicker and always ready. OF
course, we do not propose to fold our
arms in despair. Arrangements are
being negotiated by which tine waters
of the Ouachita are to bear our great
staple in its onward course to the
Atlantic seaboard.
We are pleased to note that the New
Orleans Cotton Exchange has abrogated
its rule in regard to side pieces. They
promise not to legislate upon this sub
ject again until Congress repeats the
act preventing passenger steamboats,
from carrying cotton not entirely COW
cred with bagging. We hope Congress
will not repeal this act. We want our
cotton to go to market In good order,
and we advise planters hereafter to put
side pieces on their cotton. A compress
hero would do away with the necessity
for side pieces. There is u time for all
things, and the time has arrived tor
Trenton to have cotton compress. 1t
would enhance the value of cotton in
this market two or three dollars per
bale, by saving in freights and by
avoiding the charges made upon it i'll
New Orleans. This would bring in
creased receipts to our market. Our
trade is not half developed. We ought
toget several Thousand bales each from
Bisyous D'Arbonne and Bartholomew
and Saline River. Our position as
commercial port, geographically con-
sideretl, is the strongest of any inland
town in the State. What is the money
and business talent of Claiborne street
thinking about? Why should We be
content with a trade of $4,000 bales
when $4,000 to 10000 is within our
grasp?

d Planters and merchants are wearing
long faces over the continued rainy
weather., The storm on Monday was
very damaging to cotton in the fields.
Receipts Of cotton for the week ending
the 9th inst, 71S bales. The sales to
brokers have been of fair extent, Col.
H. 8. Fulkerson, of Vicksburg, being
the principal operator. 49,. -.
Mr., A. F. Flournoy, one Of our most
prominent merchants, arrived home
last evening from Bailey Springs, Ala,
where he has been for the past two
months. Mr. Flournoy is very much
improved in health, and may be found
at the old stand, ready to receive
friends and bid on cotton. 80
The Bertha Drummer, from Farmer
Vile, arrived late Tuesday evening
with 7O2 bales, Knocked freight on cot
ton down to $12 per dozen, and passed
on to New Orleans. The Acme came
in from Eldorado Landing with 1T
bales and retshippedz by the John
Wilson.
Shipments of cotton by the railroad
have been very much restricted on ac-
count of the prompt and peremptory
refusal of Major Green to sign bills of
lading for cotton shipped to order, or
to make any arrangement with other
public carriers by! which cotton can be
shipped direct to Eastern spinners on a
through bill Of fading. Annoyances
and business delays Of great Importance
both to the merchant and broker have
resulted therefrom. The custom of
shipping cotton and other produce to
order is very common, and no public
carrier has a legal right to refuse freight
for the reason simply that the shipper
consigns the goods to his own order.
Through bills Of lading are almost in
dispensible in commercial transactions.
For instance, if a broker buys a list OF
cotton for Boston mill, how is he to
negotiate his draft at the banks without
although bill of lading? Major Green's
railroad has been heavily subsidized
by the State--built with the peoples
money-and we protest against his
refusal to sign bills of lading to order

=. : NTN AON3 OClOOSI Oh 1919
Editor Telegraph:
presume it is not always expected
that one, In Offering correspondence to
d newspaper, should tell sssome new
thing" Newspapers, maintain, are
not, as their name seems to indicate,
simply vehicles or mediums of current
or contemporaneous news. They are a
grand popular forum for the discussion
of measures and means whose ends are
the building up and fostering those in
situations which are of interest and
benefit to their constituency. This is
my ideal newspaper.
Now, I have been thinking of the COM
snerciaf necessities of this section OF
North Louisiana how we have been
trying to get along for ten years with
out the ordinary convenience OF bank
how now we are working under i'm
mense disadvantage because of the lack
of one; and, finally, how strange it is
that we have not such an institution,
since it is evident that an enterprise of
that kind cannot but be the most profit
able that can be named, and our COM
nunity the most eligible for it's estab-
lishment.
But it is not of prospective banks
and banking I would write now. 1
desire to call the attention of the bust
ness men of this community and capt.
taiists elsewhere to an adjunct or sub
sidislry enterprise to the bank: We
need machinery here for the compress
sion Of cotton for shipment overland
direct to Eastern spinners, or for ex-
portation to foreign consumers. Now,
this proposition may smack of the
visionary to some of the old fogies and
ante belluln merchants of this country,
but it is a condition which must be
brought about, and which will be done
in I: few years, or other more enter
prising markets will take from us what
is justly and legitimately ours, viz,
the bulk of the trade of that portion of
North Louisiana which lies west of the
Ouachita. If we had facilities here for
comprising our cotton, the value or
net return to the producer would be
enhanced at least one-half to three
quarters of /: cent pound. Perhaps
one-half the freight to New Orleans
would be saved, and certainly commits
sions, brokerage, river insurance, insu-
rance on sale, drayage and storage
would be things of the past. 1t is evil
dent then that Il compress would ben
eft the country by directly aiding the
producing class. The next question to
be considered is the probability of its
proving remuncrative, and hence de-
sirable as an investment. 1 was in
conversation recently with u gentle
man, a cotton broker of Vicksburg, who
has spent his life in the cotton business
in some one or other Of its phases. He
says that machinery with power suffi-
cient for compression to one-half the
ordinary size of a cotton bale, together
with the necessary buildings and APP
purtenauces for starting comfortably,
may be bought for from ten to twelve
thousand dollars. He says, also, tina,
| with a business 0 10000 bales, a press
of the kind and extent referred t.
above, properly and judiciously man
aged, may easily sustain itself and de

An OLD CONFIDENCE GAME REVIVED.
1t is hard 10 believe that man foolish
enough TO bite on the we'll known bogus
bill confidence dodge conld be found in
any community, yet an old gentleman
who never heard Of the swindle, prObR-
bly, because he don't read the papers, was
in the city on Wednesday. The old gent
has store up in Washington, Pa, and
on Wednesday came to town 10 lay in q
stock Of goods. While sauntering down
Main street he was metby n sharper, who
represented that he also resided in
Washington county, and made himself
very agreeable generally. The new ac-
quaintance proposed that they visit u
saloon and "tHkc something" for friend.
ships sake, but the old fellow was tee.
totaller, and could not be persuaded TO
indulge. Finally, "a the two were walk
ing up 18th street, chatting pleasantly,
the sharper's confederate put in an ap.
pearance with bill Of goods. The frat
sharper didn't happen to have that
much change about him, and ask
cd the second sharper how much
ul7GtNHt lG MUuNl dAlUN MIN IL ne pau
the bill in gold, as he had a quantity Of
the filthy lucre in his trunk at the depot.
Or, happy thought, ii his new friend
would accommodate him with the
amount, he could sell his gold to good ad-
vantage and repay the loan with interest.
The old gentleman responded by,takins
out his pocketbook, and handing Sharper
No. all the money he had, about
twenty. three dollars. The two sharpers
then went of, promising to meet the
old gentleman at the y. 4 0. depot. OF
course the old fellow could find OH;
nothing about "Mr. Crawford" the name
assumed by Sharper No. l, although he
made diligent inquiry for him about the
depot. Alter he became convinced that
he had been yictimized, he applied 10
Capt Ripley, Of the police, and that
gentleman undertook 10 work up the
case. The old man remained in the city
until yesterday morning, and being un.
able 10 identity tho two confidence men,
he returned TO his quiet pursuits in
Washington county. The particulars Of
this case were known on Wednesday, but
we're not made public in the hope that
thereby the two scoundrels could be
caught mapping.
