The presses are an interesting sight to
visitors from all sections, both north and
south.
II is q busy scene when they are working
Iull handed. Over 200 hands are employ ed
at the lower presses when both the presses
are running and sometimes they work late
into the night. A bale OF cotton is stripped
or its ties, placed under the press and
squeezed to one-third its size ia jiffy.
When the great iron jaws close on bale it
looks as il 1t were going to be mashed into
a wafer. 1t rebounds somewhat after it
comes out, however. and a compressed bale
occupies about one-half the space of an un-
compressed bale.
About one-half the cotton coming TO this
port has been compressed at the interior
towns and cities. The interior presses are
not 90 powerful as these of the Cotton Press
Association, and the difference between a
bale compressed in the interior and one
compressed at the port is very noticea-
bic.
Many Of the bales have to be entirely re-
covered at the press, the original bagging
being so torn and frayed that it
will no longer serve for a covering.
Every purchaser of cotton, from the mer-
chant in the country town to the large
buyer at the port, considers it his business
and privilege to slash the cotton in differ
ent place and take as large a sample as
possible. The English cotton buyers ailege
the precarious handling and the half-cov>
cred manner in which it is shipped to be the
chief causes of the numerous cotton fires on
board ships from American ports.

WHERE THEY ALL GO TO.

Where did James G. Blaine go to when
in Europe?
Where did Senator William M. Evarts
go to?
Where did Mr.. P. D. Armour go to?
Where does every well-informed man
or woman whose system wants rebuild
ing go or wish to go? To Carlsbad,
where exists the greatest health resort in
the world, and has been known as such
for centuries. Because by wonder
full power it builds up the body and re-
news the life quickly yet surely. Be-
cause Carlsbad has become a name sig
nificant of all that is best in renewing
life. If, therefore, anyone is unable to
go to that famous resort, the next best
thing possible is to use its waters at home.
This can easily be done either by using
the imported waters of Carlsbad or by
dissolving some of the genuine imported
Carlsbad Sprudel Salt in ordinary water.
In this way the same effects are produced
as if taken at the Springs. Carlsbad can
be brought into every home. Buy the
genuine imported Carlsbad Salt only,
which must have the signature of

Most Of the gins now are run by steam
power, and the work Of separating the lint
from the seed is very rapid. There are a
great many of the old horsepower gins left
yet, though, the motive"power being fur-
nlshed by couple OF horses or mules driven
ground a circular track beneath
the gin house, a set of cogwheels conveying
the power to the machinery above. 1t is
death to be caught in these cogs. In the
improved gins the cotton ls fed in automat-
icaly, but in the majority of cases the cot
ton is supplied by hand. 1t requires very
skillful man to do this successfully, and
many one-armed man, white and black,
throughout the south stands as an example
Of the danger Of &c ting the hand into the
saws. Many a man has bled to death from
injuries received in this manner.
From the gin the cotton goes directly to
the press, which is a square, perpendicu-
larly shaped box or pit which gives the
shape to the BALE The cotton is tramped
down until the box is filed, when the press,
which is operated by en- immense lever, is
yet In motion, and the cotton is gradually
compressed until a firm, compact bale is
made. The bagging and ties have already
Deem placed in position and the ties are
fastened before the bale is rolled from the
press
ON ITS WAY TO THE PORTS.
Ihe cotton is then taken to town and sold
or turned over to the merchant to pay a
tme debt. 1t is then shipped to the factor
snd Is started on its journey, for thousands
Of miles, probably. Reaching the ports, it is
1slo down by the railroads at the congresses.
The railroads usually have an agreement

Slowing the cotton on shipboard is an In
teresting process. The big steamships lie
alongside the presses. when possible, two
deep at the hight of the season. The cot
ton is truoked alongside the vessel. A rope
is run through pulley attached to one of
the masts Of the vessel, with a pair of big
cotton hooks dangling at the end Of the
rope. A donkey engine on deck winds aud
unwinds the rope from big drum The
hooks are clasped around bale of cotton,
the boy at the engine ''lets her CO." and the
bale is swung up into midair and dropped
down into the compartment of the hold in
which the cotton is being slowed. A gang
OF longshoremen, commonly called "cotton
boosters" here and ''screwmen" at New
Orleans, are awaiting its arrival. The bale
is seized, stood up against the line of bales,
the blocks and screws placed against
it and then begins the work of wedging it
in SO tight that it requsres steam power to
break it out. The men pull with ''heave
ho" and a 'heave altogether" 1t is hard
work and the lonRshoremen receive big pay.
The ''headers" get 81 and the others $5 q
day for nine hours work.
The morning news., 1892-02-21

On hot day the temperature OF the hold
resembles the climate of the lower regions
and the men work half naked. Only the
strongest men can stand it.
Several thousand men make the best part
of their living in this way. Negroes as
well as white men are engaged at it and
receive the same pay. Both
have strongly organized unions
and nobody but member of the
union can work at the trade. Sometimes
gang of white longshoreman can be seen at
work at one end of a vessel and gang of
colored lopgshoremen at the other end. The
white laborers who are mostly Irish work
quietly with an occasional "now fellers" or
''now bullies," while the negroes keep up
a continual monotonous. but musical, sing
song. No smoking is allowed on the
wharves and the laborers are not allowed
to carry matches in their pockets.
Notwithstanding the precautions used
there is continual fear
of fire and cotton man who could not
get insurance would find himself in pre-
carious position indeed. The immense
amount OF cotton that has been stored away
in the warehouses and on the wharves DUR
ing the dull market this season has been
enough to make the cotton and insurance
men lie awake nights. The season usually
ends by spring, and the longshoremen are
ready to turn policemen, iremen or any
thing else almost that promises a living
until the next season.
Most of the cotton is carried now by
steam vessels, though considerable amount
still goes by sail. The average carrying
capacity of the steamships entering this
port is 5,400 bales The largest quantity Of
cotton ever carried from this port was
$4,000 bales, 6y the British steamship
Bendo last tall. Cotton Is big business.
