Charleston, s. c., Sept. 81 spccial).-An important
trial, which promises untold benefits to the entire
south, was made here today Two bales OF cotton

the compress where they subjected to pressure
of 900 TONS and then were given to gang of long
shoremen. who used their hooks freely, tossing tho
bales about for fifteen twenty minutes. The
baggng stood the test. Water was next poured over
the bales, and she'd as freely as by the tute
baggng. Fire was applied to both jute and plne
straw there was no difference In the results. II
