WHEN the Ohio Valley News asserts,
IF the Locke bill passes, Belmont coun-
"ty goes Democratic next fall, and for
" ten years TO follow the editor exhibits
either dense ignorance, or something
worse. Politics has nothing to do with
this CONTROVERSY. and from the very
nature of things it can not have any
bearing upon political parties. Men OF
both po. .itieal parties of the county are
on both sides Of the controversy, as they
are in the General Assembly.
The editor of the News did all that
was in his power two years ago tomake
Belmont county Democratic that year.
Then he was chairman of meeting
that nominated that well known and
staunch Republican and exemplary gen.
tleman, Hon" ID. Wagner, for the
House of Representatives. His paper
gave Mr.. Wagener the benefit Of its
powerful influence throughout the cam
paign, as it did the balance of the So
called removal ticket. Mr.. Wagner
was also the candidate of the Democrat
ic party, regularly nominated. Now

COL +. NJ. White, Of this city, is
the owner of an ancient account Of
cotton sales rendered by R. Thompson
to Fl. McGehee, at Augusta, Georgia,
April 10, 1876 years ago. 1t is an
interesting relic Of the time when
cotton was literally tramped and pack
ed by hand into big bags with a hoop
at the top to keep the bag open and in
shape. This was before the days Of cot
ton presses, congresses, railroads,
telegraph wires, iron ties, dealers in
futures, and many other modern feaN
lures and factors Of commerce. The
faded old document before us is a sim
Gle sheet Of ordinary letter paper, now
quite yellow and faded. 1t is surpris-
ing how much cotton they managed to
pack into the old-iashioned bag. The
weights range from $40 to 400 each in
lot Of sixty.tWo. The net weight
was 2O,402 pounds, which, at u cents
brought Sl555.65, which is reeeipted
for per j. R. Durham. Wonderful
progress has been made in the meth.
DDS Of handling cotton since then, but
il still has to be picked out the old
way. This old paper is well worth
preserving aud to do service next year
at the Worlds Cotton Exposition at
New Orleans. Alter that, if Colonel
White is willing to part with it, he
might present it to the Tennessee
Historical Society at Nashville.
