The American Cotton Company does
not seem to be making as much prog
ress as was anticipated. Il seems in
fact to be the opinion of many that the
invention is not nearly so valuable as
was at first anticipated. A few days
ago a bale of cotton packed by the new
press was on exhibition at the Office of
a New Orleans cotton factor, Mr.. Par

There were cotton factors, mer

it, and of the 500 people, at least, whom
Mr.. Parker says saw the cotton, not

SHOE NEWS.

Mr.. EDITCR:-Odr County Alliance
met yesterday, though small in mum
Ders, we had quite an interesting meet
ing. We have a few of the old guards
left yet. The probabilitit of the shoe
factory starting were discussed, and we
came to the unani nous conclusion that
the starting Of the shoe factory at an
early date is an important factor in
the Alliance. I was requested to write
a letter to The PROGRESSIVE FARMER,
requesting the editor 10 give me some
information in regard to starting the
factory. Winter Is near at hand, and
it is feared that if the factory does not
start at any early date, most of the
members will supply themselves with
shoes elsewhere.
Please, Mr.. Editor, give us all the
information you possibly can in re-
gard to the factory.
F~raternally yours,

Grant,s Aversion TO Liars.

General Horace Porter, in the Cen
tury," dwellS Upon Grants aversion to
liars. He quotes the following remarks
from General Rawlins:-
sThe General always likes to tell an
anecdote that points a moral on the SUP
ject of lying. He hates only two KINDS
of people, liars and towards. He has
no patience with them and never fails
added:-.Such traits are so foreign to
his own nature that 1t Is not surprising
that he should not tolerate them In 9TH
ers. AS man and boy he has always
been the most absolutely truthful person
in the whole range of my acquaintance.
est exaggeration or to borrow In the
least degree from his imagination IN re-
lating an occurrence" / was amused one
day to hear an officer say that the Gem
eral was tediously truthful he. explain
ed that what he meant by that was
thing that had taken place, would direct
his mind so earnestly to stating unimpor-
tant details with entire accuracy that he
would mar the interest of the story. For
instance, after returning from a walk
from around camp he would say: i vas
told SO and so about the wounded by DR..
- while we were talking this morning
inside his tent; and a half hour after
ward he would take the trouble to come
back and say, as If 1t were a matter
of the greatest Importance: I was mis-
taken when I told you that nsy converse
ton with DIR. 49, occurred inside his
tent; that was not correct; 1t took place
while we were standing in front of his
tent" There was much truth in this
comment. No n who had served any
struck with his excellent memory and
the pains he invariably took to state oc-
~currenees with positive accuracy, even in
the most unfmportant particulars"

The Hobokens played winning ball yes

superior in every way TO that played by
the Railway Athletic Club in their meet
ing on the st. George Cricket ground.
The crowd was rather disappointed by
the onesidedness of the game, having ex-

well with the leading semi-professionals
of the State. The club fielded in a loose
manner, and were Ineffective with the

number of runs. The Hobokens pre-
sented their old pitcher Magee in the box
whose cleverness in delivery was a source
of annoyance TO the visitors, who failed
to find the ball for safe hits, and only
four of them got away from the fielders.
The home team won in a single inning

The Hudson County Wheelmen were
compelled on Saturday to postpone their
fourth annual race meet until August 8
on account of the heavy rain that made
the track a regular mud puddle. At 2:30
o'clock there were about five hundred
people present to. witness the sport, which
promised to be the finest eve held in the
State, as the entry list was an extra
ordinary one. 1t numbered fully three
hundred and fifty and embraced the stars
of the Metropolitan district. Most
elaborate arrangements were made for the
comfort of the spectators and the COM
p~etitors. The list of officials comprised
the most experienced men that could be
obtained and everything seemed to lead
to complete success, until the elements
started to make things unpleasant. Effort
after effort was made to continue, but
without success. Only one event was
completed, the half mile novice. This
was so well filled that four heats We're
necessary. The finishes were all close and
exciting. The feature of the day was the
riding of j. A. Scott of the Hudson ounty
Wheefmen. He won the third heat by a
small margin and thus qualified for the
final. which he won easily in / minute

open, were completed and then the rain
stopped all further proceedings. The
event was full of interest, as it embraced
the best men in the class in this vicinity.
