HOW TO HANDLE COTTON.
4 Question of very Great Importance TO
the Southern Farmers.

4 Question OF very Great Importance TO
the southern Farmers.
How TO handle our cotton to the best
advantage is the great question now to
all who live in the cotton belt. We
knew iull we'll when We decided to use
no more jute bugging that We would
suffer temporary loss, and while we
have met with more opposition from
merchants and factors than we had any
reason to expect, we still hold to our de.
termination.
The small bale advocated by Home
and Farm may aid US. l see 10 reason
why sacks, like those used for wool and
for long staple or Sea Island, can not be
| used to advantage Cotton, as now han
died, does not reach the spinner en- as
good condition as we would like to have
it. Carelessness commences with the
picking and continues until it reaches
the factory. and the farmers pays dearly
for this carelessness, but, perhaps, no
more than be ought.
If there were greater discrimination
between stained cotton and white, dirty
and clean, the finest and best fibre and
the poorest, farmers would take greater
pains, and far better sample would go
| to the market than does now. Sacks
holding from one to two hundred pounds
opened at one end, so that the content
could be easily examined, and with the
producers name on each, would have as
tendency to make farmers more careful.
Then there should be q greater differ
ence in the price between the poorest
and toe best grades. If low ordinary
could hardly be sold at any price, and
never for more than three or four cents
pound, while good niddling was worth
from ten TO twelve cents, there would be
great irducemcnt for farmers to improve
cotton in every possible way. This, how
ever, will never be until we sell direct to
the factory, and that factory is iu our
Immediate vicinity.
That the factories will come to the
cotton fields there can be no doubt. 1t
is only matter Of time when at least
half the cotton raised will be manufac-
tured in the South. Then the fibre will
not be Injured as now by having, as it
we're, the very life pressed out of it. |
am Of the opinion that if cotton could
remain in the seed unit! some of the Oil
in the seed was drawn into the lint that
the latter would be stronger and spin
better than it does now. | also thiDk that
the oil il the seed should be pressed out
at the gin, and if necessary the crude
OF! could be sent 70 refinery to be re-
fined.
Wchaoe much TO learn about the cot
ton plant yet. Let US put our heads to-
gether. and find money not only ID the
lint and seed, but in the stalk.-C. Z.

Nearly all OF Lynn. Massachusetts, Des-
rroyed 3j Shoe Factories Burned Progress
oulv Stopped br the Waters Edge.
LYNN, Mass, November 2S.-The
most disasterous FIRE Lynn has had for
years, started at 11:55 a. N. yesterday
over the boiler room in Mower & Bros,
four story wooden building on Almont
Street. In 10 minutes. the entire roof
Of the building was in flames. The six
story brick block known as Mowers
block, which faces on Willow Street,
next caught; fifteen minutes after the
fire had started, it was beyond control.
At p. NJ, the fire was spreading
fast. Over half mile has been burned
over. All the buildings within quar-
ter of mile, the Market street depot
including the W. =. T. officers, all the
Lynn newspapers, and 80 shoe factories,
have burned,
At 4:45 p. NJ, the iremeu were blow
ing up buildings in hopes OF checking
the progress of the fire. A boiler blew
up in building on Market Street and
four men were killed.
At 4 D. N. the fire was still raging,
and was burning in the direction of the
water front, sweeping everything before
it. There are several reports of men be-
ing burned, but no bodies have been
recovered.
The military companies of Lynn, Sa-
lem, and other places IN the vicinity
guarded the streets which were fill with
people who have been burned out Of
house and home, and have lost every
thing.
The burned district is bounded by
the following streets: Silsbe. Mulberry,
Oxford, Willow, Monroe, Washington,
Spring and Mount Vernon. This in
cludes every building on the streets
named as far as they extend, and on the
following streets beyond them: Central
Avenue, Almont, Union, Exchange and
Merchant.
The loss to the Boston and Maine R.
R., will be about 100000. as nothing
was saved from the depot excapt t he
tickets.
At 5 p. L., the fire reached the wa
ter's edge, and burnt itself out for lack
of fresh material.
The losses are now clearly estimated
to be not less than ten million dollars.

when dozen gentlemen called upon
her in the morning, she entered the
parlor in q bewitching riding habit,
excused herself, mounted her horse,
rode an hour or two, and, finding the
gentlemen waiting for her on return
ing, she went to her studio back of the
parlor, and amused herself by drawing
caricatures of her admirers, represent
ing them sitting in various attitudes
of idiotic vacancy.

THE NATIONS POPULATION.

Widely Vars ing Estimates of Next Years
Count.--It will Probably be 66,OOO,00O
Cleveland Leader.
WASHINGTON, November 2S.-There
has been great deal of figuring and es-
timating-guessing, one may say-what
the coming census will show the popu-
lation of this country to be. Singular
enough, there isa difference of more than
1000, 900 in these estimates. The low
est have seen is 62,O0O,00O, and the
highest nearly 100000. The last is,
manifested, much too large. The most
careful figures put it about G5, 900, 900 or
66, ,000,0 900, and this probably not far
from the truth.
Figures are generally exasperating to
the reader, but let US all keep our tenn
per while We contemplate just a few,
taken from compendium of the last
(tenth) census which lies before me. Our
first census, in 1790, showed popula-
tsou-I will only give round numbers
of nearly 400 100000. We had then but
few more people than there are now
within the limits of the State of Ohio
The increase during the successive de-
cennial periods as shown by comparing
the total of each census with that of
the preceding one, was: Second census,
400, 900: third, 100000; foruth g.
400. 900; fifth, 8, 200, 900; sixth, 4, zoe, 900;
seventh, G,2oO, 900; eighth, s,20O,O00;
ninth, 7,1OO,000; tenth, II, 600, 900. The
total as shown by the tenth census,
was 50. 155, ,7S5.
There is a singular uniformity in the
ratio ofiucrease which varies but little
in each ten years from 80 per cent. The
only marked exception is the decade
from 1860 to 1870, when the increase
was nearly 100000 less than from 1850
to 1850. This was due to the waste of
the War, which cost directly the lives
of 700, 900 men, besides which it gave
check to the natural increase and also to
foreign immigration. According to the
regular progression the total population
in 1870 should have been about 40.500-
900, whereas it was but 3S, $685. 81. The
reason given is sufficient to account for
this reduced rate of increase. Between
1870 and 1880 We caught the old step
again, the increase being in excess of 30
per cent. Since 1880 the conditions
have not been materially changed, and
it will be safe to assume that the census
of 1890 will show an increase of 30 per
cent, or Is, 900, 900, which will give Co.
100000 as the total within our borders
not counting Alaska.

Colored Daptists ut War.

For several months past there has
been considerable dissension among
the colored Baptists in Laurens, dea-
Gems and the pastors being opposed
each to the other, and both having a
pretty good constituency. Some weeks
ago the deacons notified the pastor
that his services were no longer de-
sired, and not to go into the church
again, which he disregarded, where
upon they prosecuted him for "tres-
pass after notice." but failed to con-
vict him. Everything then quieted
down until few days ago, when the
storm of the deacons' wrath again
burst forth. On Sunday one party got
possession of the church, and the
other side undertook to evict them,
when they got into general row. AS
a result, the police ousted the whole
layout, and took possession OF the
church. One colored gentleman who
was a little too obstreperous when he
got on the street, was landed in the
guard house. No one was hurt in the
disturbance, and to-day all is quiet.
