spection and classification. In instances
where the machinery is leased the lesseeS
will he held under strict responsibility as
10 the character of the packages, all Oh
which will be included under the general
guarantee. President Searles, speaking on
this point, said.
..Tt is proposed to guarantee the lntegrl-
tv of every bale to the fullest extent. Inc
need is unquestioned and success IN meet
ing il has only been waiting on the lnVen-
tion Of the right machinery which we now
have. The present tendency of commerce
TO reach the highest economy and e1tlclel-
cy. through what you call the trust
movement. is bound to increase on all
Sides. All attempts to check it only serve
70 accelerate; one might as well try 10
ston the movement of the tides by pass
ing resolutions"
..The American manner of packing cot
ton has called forth the protests OF for
e;gn dealers. The disadvantage to CONT
mental products has been estimated at
moro than three per cent. The mixing OF
grades, the exposure to fire and the temp
tati0n to thieves have been cited aS the
chief evils. The new process, it is claimed
does away with all of these. Further
more. it will, it is asserted, more distinct
Iv mark out the line of commercial inter
est between the grower and the spinner,
which has long been the obscure point up
on which dissensions have arisen.
Each cylindrical bale will be subjected
TO q. sampling process, and each sample
will bear the guarantee of the trust,
which intends to make good any deh-
cheney caused by mistake. Should the
trust succeed in making its system unit
versal it is estimated that the yearly say
ing will amount to upward of 3O,0O0,Ooo
The chief advantage will, it is asserted,
rebound to the interest of the grower
The spinner and transporter VIII also
come in for a share of advantage. Inc
former will be supplied with the assur-
ance of correct weight and quality, ana
the TRANSPORTER will be able to compete
more advantageously with the foreign
trade. The guarantee will be the chief
factor as result of the modern ma
chinery"

KENTUCKY SILVER DEMOCRATS.
They Reaffrm the Chicago Platform and
Pledge Themselves to Bryan in 1900.

Frankfort, Ky, June 2.-Harmony
characterized to-day's two sessions of the
silver Democratic State convention on
all issues except those involving the inter
eSts of one of the six candidates for APP
pellate clerk. The convention nearly
split wide open when the election of a
permanent chairman came up, over the
question upon which ballot the hindmOst
candidate should be dropped. The plat
form adopted in part was as follows:
Resolved, That we hereby reaffirm our
faith in the principles set forth and enum-
Grated in the platform adopted by the
Democratic party in National convention
held in Chicago in July. 1896, and we
adopt said platform as that of the Dem
0cracy in Kentucky.
Second, That the principles adopted and
set forth in that platform are the true
principles of Democratic faith and we
urge upon all true Democrats to stand
by them at all times and under all cir
cumstances and conditions.
Third. we endorse the canvass made
by VIM. Jennings Bryan, the nominee of
the Democratic party for the presidency
in the late election. We commend its
wisdom, approve it as just and fair to all
parties and all interests Of our common
country. We recognize in him the fear
less orator and statesman and the great
champion of the peoples rights against
the monied power, the monopolists, the
syndicates and trusts. We pledge him
the support Of a united Democracy in
our State"
The remaining half Of the platform is
devoted to denunciati0n Of the Repub-
Ecan State administration, to denun-
citation of allowing convict-made goods to
compete with free labor and to Il felicia
ton of Senator Blackburn and those who
led in his two senatorial fights
There was one dissenting vote out Of

THE PUNK IRRITATION OF
PEARSON.


In the international chess-match TWO
days ago. Hon. Richmond Pearson, Con-
orassman from the Ninth district, met
his Domokos at the hands of one Edhem
Plunkett.
his game. as is we'll known, did not IN
tarfere with Mr.. Pearson's duties, for 1t
was played during ore of Reeds semi
weekly lulIs-one of those lulls, however
which NAV grow into lullaby for Mr..
Pearson when he runs up against his
next campaign-ides. These games were
nlaved in the Foreign Affairs committee
room toward which the voters or the
Ninth contribute: but while they may
not get their money back in this llfe, their
children will live to love Pearson for do
inc what he tried to do. but didn't do, viz.
TO put Plunkett to sleep.
plunkett was the crack player OF the
other side. and. therefore, Pearson was
pitted against him. After Parsons de-
feat had been followed by Shafroth
victory the Queen and the President, re-
snectiyelv. were cheered on both sides or
the water in forty seconds by cables over
two separate wires Now then-if Pear
son had won, there might not have been
cheers for the President. But in the vic
tory of Plunkett all vexatious feelings
that NAV have been left over in England
after the treaty. failed will sink into obi
won with a plunk. Thus far much has
been gained.
But let us view the matter from an
other eminence. Can Pearson now hold
the -Four Hundred vote? Will he dare
even face that vote! The mountain vote,
EXCEPT the Shook element, which is grow
ing. has no doubt of the fact that Rich
mond Pearson is the greatest statesman
of the States, and this Plunkett incl
dent need cut only little figure with
them. But the Snobbery Hill Chrysan-
themums may be less tolerant. They sent
Pearson to Congress to play chess, and
he has played the very dell.
Plunkett stopped him in sixteen moves.
We do not yet see our way clear
toward carrying out our own wishes-but
we stand boldly for ]. Wiley Shook as
we have stood. Can he play chess? He
can at least play for the Bon-Bons who
are discontinued enough now, no doubt,
with their society ideal to rush Shook
ward or to some other reckless extreme.
This is Shocks only chance. If he can
come down from Pigeon River with a
fairly good following and can combine
with the floating, fashionable vote, he
may be nominated instead of Pearson
Mr.. Pearson has no doubt all he went to
Congress for: he got on the Foreign -
fairs committee after a gallus-breaklng
combination with Settle; he grew up to a
chess-match; he played with Plunkett;
now he can make the grand-stand Wash
ington society play, and the Ninth dis
trict will have done all it can do for him.
and Shook will be welcome to the leav-
ings, which will be "a Democratic Con
oraSsman next time.

THE SALE OF FERTILIZERS.
Far Greater Than Ever Before Known
in North Carolina.

During the past season, of over 600
registered bands of commercial fertilizers
some 400 have been sold in the State,
the total sales reaching nearly 81, 600, 900.
The revenue from tags has been $4S, 705;
this was the license tax on 1874, 1922 tons.
Though this is only the spring trade, it
is considerably ahead of any whole sea-
son trade ever before known in the State.
The fall trade will greatly increase the
above figures, and the sale of fertilizers
for the year will probably be nearly twice
as much as ever before.
