Bayeinc for Cotton Bales.

In various sectiOna of the country we see
that the members of several local Alliance
clubs have determined TO continue the use Of
cotton bagging.
1t seems TO us that the Alliancemen OF this
section know good thing when they see 1t,
and will use either jute at the reduced price
or second hand sugar sacks. The sugar sack
weigh about "a lbs to the yard, and costs only
about cents. OF course 1t is to their Interest
to use the sugar sacks, both as to weight and
cost.
AS SIX per cent is discounted for bagging
and ties, 1t would be we'll for our farmers to
give the weight of their bales some attention
Four hundred pounds is the standerd bale,
and when six hundred pounds Is put in bale
lhirity-six pounds is knocked Off in Liverpool
as tare. II only twenty-four pounds OF oagr
ging Is put on such bale, the farmer Will
lose twelve pounds of lint. 1t will be very
easy to see that In every instance where
bnle weighs over four hundred pounds that
the farmer will necessarily lose something,
according to the excess of four hundred
pounds, and the price Of the lint.
Let no one misunderstood, Four hundred
pounds is q standard bale. Six per cent. IS
knocked for tare. BY weighing the cotton, it
will be easy to tell how much bagging to put on
On four hundred pound bale, should be 4l lbs
bagging; on five hundred pound bale. 80
lbs, on six hundred pound bale SO lbs.
Think OF this.

Are We to Have u JOlIificatiOn :

The cars on the G.. {. It n. road will likely
be here within month from this time.
Are we to have an excursion, barbecue,
dance, or banquet, to celebrate the event?
What say you, Director Perrin? ? Having
been connected with the road from It's earliest
inception, and having worked faithfully for
the interests Of the road. is there any reason
why you should not now, to finish job, make
an effort to give the people an opportunity to
manifest their pleasure at the success OF the
great enterprise?
The Press and Banner is not personally
more interested In this matter than others
should be, but we cannot refrain from saying
that it would be emmintly proper and right
to arrange for an excursion, barbecue, a
band of music, and any other proper method
OF celebrating the event which Abberille
has looked for with longing eyes for so many
years
It seems to us that it will be proud day
especially for Director Perrin, who has work
ed from the beginning for the road. He met
the first conference at Hester then he, with
others, met the people OF Elberton. He was
present at the first meeting OF stockholders,
and was made Director at the organization
of the company.
To be faithful laborer in the organization
of o great movement. and in the accomplish
ment OF so grand an enterprise as the build
ing great railroad is something that doesn't
fall out to many men.
Ii there is opposition to the excursion. and
If there is objection to the celebration OF the
event, then let it be so, and let Abbeville re-
main IN the future. as in the past. in the old
lines, without even making an effort to ad-
vertise the town, while re fusing to make any
manifestation Of pleasure at what others
would consider their good fortune-if they
could get so good O road.

THE PACKING OF COTTON BALES.

Columbia Register.
The AJGeriHe Press and Banner, we think
makes a very important pOntin the matter
of the loss the farmers suffer in packing their
cotton in heavy bales.
Our contemporary makes the following
showing:
"SiX per cent. OF the gross weight of bale
Is knocked OFF for the bagging and ties. The
farmer. then, should put ON six pounds OF
bagging and ties for every hundred pounds or
the gross weight of the bale. II he put on less
than this amount Of bagging and ties, he
forces himself TO submit TO 4 loss OF lint cot
ton.
of about 60 cents q hundred for any excess In
the bale over 100 pounds. If a bale weighs quo
pounds the tarc is 81 pounds. If only p
pounds Of banging and Tie ties Is put on the far
"Abbcrillc County has been losing by pack
ing heavy Galcs. enough money to pay her
taxes"
who packs his cotton in GOO pound bales, who
will not lose an amount equal to his taxes.
"The fight on jutc bagging, and the opening
Of the eyes OF the people To their loss In pack
Ing heavy bales, Will be worth 10 this County
alone in years to come, hundreds of thons-
andS Of dollars.
"When the people find out that they are los
ing from 80 cents 10 n 81 a bale on heavy bags,
they will save by reducing the weight. This,
together with their victory in reducing the
price OF Jjute, should be q sufficient recon-
pense for their trouble. even If nothing else Is
gained"
All this Is well worth considering. AT first
II would seem that the farmer would make up
for the twelve pounds Of lint cotton taken of
for tare In the gain of getting half as much
cotton again covered without any increase
cost for ties and bagging. Let us see. a far
mer makes $50 bales of 100 pounds weight.
If he puts this in 400 pound bales, ii takes n
hundred and fifth bales to hold the crop. AS
we are informed, the price OF ties and bag
ging TO the bale Is, say Sl,;O. For hundred
and fifty bales this wOnld amount to Sl95 for
the crop. But if he should put the same cotton
In GOO pound bales, IL will take but u hundred
aleS to hold the same cotton, and at Sl.'O 10
the bale for ties and bagging, we see $50 for
the crop. Here plainly we see SOB saved in
the cost of ties and bagglng. or 60 cents on
each of the hundred bales. But as our Abbc-
willie contemporary puts II, with doubtless an
accurate knowledge of the facts, with SIX
pounds taken off to the hundred on 6UO pound
bales covered by 2i pounds OF ties and bagginS
there must he l. pounds of lint cotton tax en-
TO make up the 3G pounds of tare. Now, this
II pounds ut 10 cents Is worth worth Sl.2O TO
every one Of the hundred GW pound bales,
which shows II loss Of Sl2O against the St5

This woud show 90 sunk by the farmer.
This would pay Il tax Of q mills to the dollar

He Was Not q Candidate.

The Sunday Nears makes the following pleas
ant mention Of Mr.. w. c. Miller. who, though
not an Abbeville man, married an Abbeville
lady, and in both of whom our people are
more or less Interested:
The name Of VIC. Miller was brought pc.
fore the County Convention on last Friday as
il candidate for the Legislature through a
misapprehension. He was not candidate
and did not desire TO 20 to the Legislature.
AS soon as he learned that his name was pc
ing used he took steps to have it withdrawn.
This was greatly regretted, as he was receiv-
ing O very fiattering vote, only lacking few
votes of securing the nomination on the nrsl
hoiIot> IT is loss to the delegation and to
the city that Mr. Miller refused to allow his
friends to have him placed on the ticket.

Tom Finley has been quite figure In Wash

there which brought him into prominence.
He has been in Newberry. and we learn that

says:
TON Finley, Of Abbeville. made speech,
in which he eXcoriated the white Republt-
cans, whom he claimed were such only for
office. He said he was sent here from wash

The Election Last Friday.

But few of the boxes were open last FRIDAY,
and but little interest was felt in the election.
1t was the third primary. Only two names
were to be voted for-T. \. Graham and DE-
r. II. Adams. DR.. Adams was elected on The
first ballot, but because of failure to count the
ballots cast for the House, the fact OF his
election was not asertained in due time, and
his name, among others, was sent back to a
second primary. While receiving majority
of the votes cast for the House, he did not
receive majority Of the whole votes. he
failed to ONE in on the second race, and dt'
clined to stand for the third race.
There were about half dozen boxes open
and 2iO votes were cast for I. A. Graham who
was declared the nominee.

COTTON PICKING.

COTTON PICKING.
The fall season has fully arrived, and with
it its character work. Ordinarily the cotton
harvest Will claim the larger share Of atten-
ton us IL is the gathering in OF the results OF
the cEicfest efforts Of the Southern farmer.
We haye more than once sought TO I'M
press upon farmers the importance Of push
ing this work from the word go. While 1t Is
true that u failure to garner in the opening
locks does not interfere with or retard the
further ripening and opening OF the bolls or
the real yield of the crop, as does the neglect
to properly cultivate, yet the loss Of product
by the dropping from the bolls, but more
than all, the rapid deterioration In value as
tile result Of combined exposure Of the open-
cd cotton to wind. rains, trash and dews, Is q
most serious matter. or the several causes
OF I'M jury TO open cotton, repeated wetting ny
rain or dew and soiling are more damaging
than "leat," or in the old plantation vernacli-
urging upon farmers the Importance Of eX.
tremo care in the picking OF cotton to reject
the trash. Much OF this advice is given ny
men who appreciate the value or nice
creamy sample free from trash. The city cot
ton buyers, anxious 10 secure a large lot "f eX-
ceptionally fine samples, is free to offer his
advice to "pick less trash," and TO impress his
ideas upon the clodhopper farmer in most
But every observing, practical farmer knows
that the less trash gathered, the less baskets
will weigh, and the more cotton Will be leit
exposed in the field to be damaged by the
next storm of rain and wind.
Our advice has always been to push the
picking of cotton to the utmost. Offer all
reasonable inducements and encouragement
to the hands to gather the largest possible
amounts per day, and let nothing interfere
with the work or impede II except the de.
mands of other crops, or work that cannot
safely be postponed.
The thoughtful farmer will look ahead and
consider the jobs that must be done without
fail when the time comes, and press the cot
ton picking now and all the time, with all
the force that can be induced to take the
field. Cotton picking is work for when
women seem peculiarly fitted. Their shorter
stature and more nimble fingers give them an
advantage that cannot be easily overcome.
Let the otherwise idle negro women be ell
couragcd To take the field.
The hard working white mans wife ana
daughters frequently find that 1t pays better,
both in health and money earned, to pick
cotton in the free air and sunlight than to
toll with the needle or loom, at home or in
the factory. 1t is nice, clean work, not espe-
cially lab0riouS, and just as dignifed and re-
spectacle as any labor. either mental or man.
