The Compress.

A BANNER reporter visited
the compress on Friday after
noon and found everything in
hustle, all hands very busy.
The sheds and platforms are
full OF cotton and it is coming
and going all the tina. The
center Of attraction is the conf
press proper, which was at work
all day. AS has already been
stated, it is of the Morse patent,
and is one of the largest and
most powerful in use. 1t has a
capacity Qf from 600 to 700
bales per day of ten hours, but
as it is entirely new it does not
work as smoothly as it will after
a few days use. In the after
noon a bale was compressed in
fifty-three sseoEds, and during
the visit of our reporter bale
was compressed and tur'icd out
in one minute and ten seconds.
This, we think, is doing remark
ably good wofk considering it
was the first day the machinery
was run, and that in addition
some Of the hands we're green
at the business. If We are not
very much mistaken the COM
press is destined tosmake a rev.
olution in the cotton business
of this city. The saving in
feight in compressed cotton will
allow buyers to pay at least
one eighth of a cent. per pound
more than formerly. Cotton
can now be loaded on the cars
and delivered az the spinners'
doors in the east without break
ing bulk.

Shepard and Joncs have a Joint
Discussion.

The joint political discussion
between Col Jones and Mr..
Shepard was conducted at the
courthouse yesterday before a
full audience composed Of both
ladies and gentlemen.
The discussion was opened
at twenty minutes past eleven
\. NJ. by Col. Jot.cs, who in the
outset announced that the cause
of Shepard and his friends in
the canvass in attacking him
and his record, had changed his
| purpose to devote the most Of
his speech to the money qucs-
ton. He then commenced a
! defense ofhimselfagainst charg-
es made by Mr.. Shepard and
the greater portion ofhis speech
was devoted his vote on the sill
yer bill, failure to vote on the
marshal bill, and in explanation
of his position in the canvass.
He said that tn answer to the
demand of Mr.. Shepard as to
whom he would vote for in the
presidential canvass, he was a
grecnbacker, but did not say
whether he would vote for
Weaver or Garfield; and as to
Davis and Hannah he said
that lie was proud Of the sup
port of governor Davis.
His speech was full Of ingc-
nulty, but except a few popular
hits was devoid of interest.
Mr.. Shepnrd followed after
dinner in a speech Of two hours.
He made an able argument on
the money question. Stated
candidIy his position, and chal-
leDgcd Col. Jones to do the
same. He announced himself
as favoring a currency of gold
and silver, and paper convertl--
bic into coin; and in an cx-
hausiivc argument clearly show
ing the fallacy of fiat money,
and drew on history to show its
inevitable depreciation, and
final failure to relieve the wants
Of the people. Mr.. Shepard
then assailed the record of Col.
Jones, both in his former can
vases before the people and in
congress his inconsistency,
and double position before diff
ferent audiences, now a demo-
crat and then republican, and
occasionally a greenbacker.
In his reply Col. Jones devo-
ted his half hour almost entirely
to the silver bill and made a
defence Of his vote and action
thereon, which Mr. Shepard
contends is not borne out by
the record or by the bill itself.
1t is evident from the discus
sion that Col. Jones winces terri
bly, under the excavations and
arguments Of Mr.. Shepard. In
mis- opening speech he accused
Shepard Of trying to take his
office from him; in reply to this
Shepard said that he was not
aware that the office belonged
to Col. Jones, it being the prop
erty Of the people.
Shepard evidently got the
best of the discussion, and we
feel sure that Col. Jones is fully
aware that he has his hands full.
Maj. Bassett was called out
at the conclusion of Col. Jones
reply; but merely said that he
thought it would be unfair for
him to say anything as Jones
had had bigger garment cut
out for him than he could make
up.

and his team all up at mouth
full and then licking its chops
for more. He could have sold
his cotton here for 9 I-2 cents
net cash, but he went TO tbs
city of Bellvillc where there is
no hungry congresses and sold
his cotton to merchant for
9 Is cents: the buyer had not
the money to pay for it. aad the
German finally shipped 1t to
Galveston and will be lucky if
he gets 9 cents net.
