The only thing that stands in the
way of increasing the density and thus
cheapening freights is the irregular
sizes and ungainly shapes of the bales
and the loose and irregular packing of
their contents caused by the vary
ing sizes Of the gin boxes and the i'm
proper methods of filing them.
The jaws of congresses are 32inches
wide. If a bale of cotton already 80
inches wide is put in such a press,
when the pressure is applied it spreads
out to the sides and there is nothing
there to hold it, so that when the
pressure is taken off it is soft and un-
calmly and occupies twice the space it
should. The result is that when it
reaches the port the ship rejects it
and the shipper must have it recon-
pressed at an expense Of from so to rs
cents per bale or pay an equivalent in
extra freight to the ship, which Of
course, the producer loses in the end.
Furthermore, these ~ungainly bales
are much more liable to waste and
damage than smaller ones. A pattern
of bagging does not cover a 36-inch
bale as we'll as one % inches wide, and
therefore leaves the cotton exposed to
damage and to be rubbed off or pluck
ed off in handling. Also when a bale
is too long to go into its proper place
in the ship the stevedoors are very
apt to cut the ends off to make it fit.
all these things are taken into account
by the carrier, the insurance man, the
dealer and the spinner and duly charg-

Higher Than Radical Times.

More offices! More taxesl That seems
to be the popular idea Of our modern
statesmen. A few more years of such
"reform" as we have had and halt the
men in South Carolina will be holding
Office and drawing good salaries. 1t Is
now said that the Legislature proposes to
create two new Judgeships. Well, let
the great work of "reform" 60 on and
ere long it will take all q man can make
to paw his taxes. The Government Is
now in such q condition, Notwithstanding
the taxes are higher than they were In
Radical times, that the officials are scratch.
ing their craniums to devise g plan OF
running the machine without increasing
tho levy to ten mills. And out of their
mighty heads they have evolved a scheme
BY which they expect to appease the far
mers by placing the extra burden only
upon professions and business enter
prises. 1t is proposed that the Legislature
shall provide for an income tax and q
license on professions and trades. The
income tax, it is expected, will be made
to apply to all corporations.

we could repair what was wrong and

1t was an anxious time with US, but

However, our troubles were not over
yet, as we now sighted another steamer
on the starboard bow, and by 2 o'clock
in the afternoon we had no less than
seven steamers ploughing through the
ocean, and churning up seas of foam
with their paddle wheels, being driven
to their utmost speed, trying to catch
US as their prize.
The excitement during the whole
afternoon was intense. The Alice had
a heavy cargo of cotton, and having
never before lost a single bale in her
many trips, we were very reluctant to
throw any overheard on this one, al
though we felt that if she was light
ened somewhat we could successfully
escape. After awhile our relative
positions showed we were holding our
own, and we concluded to risk it as
VIC were, and not part with any Of our
cargo until the very last moment.

Costly Breath.

Three hundred dollars a day for
breath was what Francis Richling, the
millionaire mine owner, paid for the
last seven days he lived.
It was by the administration OF
oxygen gas that Mr.. Richling was
given a brief lease of life, and while
this treatment is not absolutely new
in theory, no effect to test it in prac-
tice to such an extent has heretofore
been made.
Through the grounds Of Mr.. Rich
ling sbeautiful home at Piedmont runs
a little mountain stream. While at
work in its vicinity the millionaire
contracted malaria. Congestion of
the brain and pneumonia followed,
and in their wake came valvular dis
ease of the heart. Half Of the sick
mans lungs became closed, and it
was apparent that death soon must
follow from the lack of breath.
The dying man begged the physi.
clan to at least keep him alive until
his son, travelling in Mexico, could
reach hin. There wal but n hope
that Of giving the patient a supply
of artificial air by means of oxygen.
This plan was at once adopted: The
doctor procured a tank containing 100
gallons of oxygen. Attached to this
was a rubber tube with a mouthpiece.
There were two stop-cocks, n at
mouth Of the tube, the other at the
point where the tube joined the tank.
Whenever it became evident that
Mr.. Richling was suffering from a
want of breath he was required to
inhale gas from the tank. The oxy-
gen produced the same effect upon his
blood and body as that resulting from
ordinary breathing, and immediate re,
lief followed the inhalation. The
entire contents of the tank were con,
sumed by the patient the first night
Saturday. On Sunday he absorbed
500 gallons, and the effect was visible
on Monday in the manifest improve
ment of his condition. On that day
the patient inhaled 300 gallons Of the
oxygen.
It was evident that the treatment
was greatly reducing the pneumonia
and RELIEVING the heart trouble.
On Tuesday the amount Of oxygen
absorbed was reduced to 600 gallons.
On Wednesday 400 gallons were in
hailed, and on Thursday only 300 gal
Ions were administered.
The following day the allowance
was 200 gallons. On Friday night:
however, there came a great change
for the worse. Paralysis, followed BY
apoplexy was added to the other illi
from which the patient suffered.
300 gallons Of oxygen were inhaled
on Saturday, but proved Of no avail
The pneumonia and valvular heart
troubl. had been conquered by the ad'
ministration of the oxygen, but Mr.
| Richling's enfeebled system was I'M
able to- withstand the complication or
Saturday night.
The wish of the patients heart hac
been gratifed, however, as the SOL
for whose presence he longed, arrived
the Tuesday before his death. Mr.
Richling was conscious and recognized
the young man, although unable to
speak to him.
While tank oxygen is frequently
used to restore vitality, medical re-
cords shop that it is expensive tc

"After this was over they all kneit
down and the old man prayed. When
they arose Mrs. Monk came to him
and asked if he would not tell her
who he was: Julia, have [ changed
so much that you do not know your
own husband-Henry MonkT Mrs.
Monk replied You are not my hus-
band uless you can satisfactorily ex-
plain the long desertion Of your wife
and child"
The explanation was that monk had
left a wife in Sampson county, when
he entered the Confederate army, and
that she had been reported dead. He
had married the second time in this
belief. In his travels, buying cotton,
he had learned that his first wife was
not dead. Before the war ended she
had eloped with another soldier into
South Carolina. After much search
Monk found his first wife near Char
lesion, and believing that he had been
guilty OF bigamy and his second wife
and child would be d~isgraced if he
went back to Raleigh, he concluded
not to return and went to Frederick,
Md. He manage to earn money and
saved the greater portion Of it under
another name. He kept track of his
family by reading the Raleigh papers.
He followed their movements in
Richmond and was Mortified at the
crime Of his son. Monk then found
that his first wife was dead. He be-
gan to visit his son in prison and went
once to see his wife. The money she
had received each month was sent by
him.
"The wife then clasped her long
lost husband to her bosom and wept.
There was a second marriage Of Monk
