There is a church in Michigan which
has been struck by lightning a dozen
times and now whenever the preacher
shows signs of getting lone-winded and
passing from his "%seventhly" to an
''eighthly" the organist slyly initiates the

COTTON.
Bad Effects. of Imperfeet Ginning
and sand.

NEW YORK, June S.-The board of mana
gers of the New York Cotton Exchange
have recently adopted report relative to
waste in the staple. The report says:
WHEREAS, Numerous complaints have
been made about waste In the sta
pie of American cotton, more par
neulsrlY OF this years. growth, which
has led to the belief In many instances that
1t is caused by ginning at q high rate of
speed and cleaning seed too closely, thereby
breaking the staple and producing an excess
OF fluffy or what is known as reginned sta
pie, thus lowering its character and value.
This Exchange would most earnestly
call the attention of the planting interest to
the evil and ask that efforts be made to cure
1t. tits quite manifest that lowering the
value Of cotton by imperfect handling is
injurious to the interest OF the South. Some
OF the damage complained of is traceable to
the imperfect condition of the gins, the
necessary repairs not being made when they
are required.
Farmers should understand that It is the
staple OF American cotton that enables It to
be sold at higher value than the product
OF India, and that in so much as the staple is
deteriorated It will be surely felt In the
price. Sand and dust have been found
in our crop this year in larger proportion
than ever before. hence a great reduction In
price has been made for it. No doubt the
very dry season had considerable to do with
their presence, and has caused a low price
to be accepted for such, as sales have been
made at 2'219 cents, and even more below
the value of the same grade of clean c0tton.
1t is said that cleaners were exhibited at the
Atlanta EXPOSITION that would remedy this
grievance, and, If it be true, their adoption
should become general. In conclusion,
planters should be reminded that more care
should be given to bsling, so as to avoid
mixiog different qualities in the same bale,
which is source of great annoyance at the
mills, and leads to reclamations against SELL
