subject to robbery from the time
1T leaves the planters hands until
it reaches the mills. Nearly all of
these evils are encouraged and
fostered by the practice Of deal
ing In cotton at gross rate.
"The advent into the market OF
cotton put up In new forms Of
bales In proper condition gives an
opportunity to remove these evils
and their causes. The old forms
of bales can be made entirely
satisfactory if put in like manner
to the Egg ptlan.
"As large amount of cotton
this season will be put up in the
new bales, the time has arrived
when users are IN position to
take d decided stand on the ques-
ton Of baling and weighing.
we, therefore, insist upon bet
ter baiing and handling OF cotton,
and upon system OF dealing at
net rate, and we pledge ourselves
to give the strongest possible pre-
ference ~ cotton 80 baIed handled
and sold"
1t was stated in the course of
the discussion that at least two
new forms of n cylindrical bale
have been invented and are act
lively promoted, as we'll as one
new form OF the square bale, and
that the vastly superior manner
In which foreign cotton reaches
the mills has made manufacturers
much more dissatisfied with the
siovenly manner in which Ameri-
can cotton is put up. The men,
bers showed a firm resolution to
insist on better methods of prepa-
ration.
Their idea is not SO much to fa-
vor the adoption of any particular
form of bale,of even the abandon
ment of the old, but to secure
such improved methods of baling
as Will assure them that they will
receive at the mills the cotton
which they buy.

Roads Must Haul Liquors.

Atlanta, Ca, Nov. 13.-Judges
Pardee and Newman of the Uni
ted States court handed down q
decision in the famous dispensary
case this morning enjoining the
Southern railway from refusing
TO haul liquors into South Caro-
lima In future. The decision is
an important one, in that the
original package law is involved.
The judges decided that liquors
and wines In bottles, packed in
boxes and shipped in carload lots
were, under the law of South
Carolina, clearly admissible, and
should be'handled by any rail
road.
The case has attracted consid
erabie attention throughout the
south. The wbiskey company
never had any trouble with the
Southern In this respect until a
lew weeks ago, when the latter
positively refused to haul any
more of their goods into South
Carolina.

Many Men Of Many Minds.
G. III. Turner in Practical Farmer.

Oar highly esteemed friend,
Prof. massey,is decidedly opposed
to gambling In fertilizers, while
We as decidedly favor it. Last
winter we had the very great
pleasure Of visit to Zachariah
Drake, Of Marlboro Co., S. c., who,
it will be remembered, harvested
255 bushels Of corn from single
acre. Together with that gentle-
man We surveyed said American
Agriculturist's Prize Acre, and
were Informed that upward of
two bales Of cotton per acre had
been gathered from said acre
every year since, with the excep-
ton Of tho year succeeding that
in which the prlse crop was
raised. in which year oats were
sown on ii. The land was too rich
for oats, causing them to make
too much straw. winds blew them
down and tangled them up so
badly that lt was q matter of i'm
possibility to save more than half
OF them. SAID half threshlng out
~ bushels. What Prof. Massey is
pleased to term as gambling in
fertilizers" or in other words,
"sQueesing sale crop out Of an
impoverished SOIL" or, in still
oshcr words, "the application of
commercial fertilizers for the
mere purpose of getting good
crOps,"is somewhat different from
the genuine article to which We
wish to refer to in this article.
Mr.. Massey's gambling is no gam
bling at all. 'Tis true there is an
element of chance in it, but the
same is equally true of every op-
eration of the farm, of every crop
planted and Of every head of live
stock that breathes the breath Of
life. Possibly they may all prove
profitable ventures, but the
chances are that some of them, at
least, will turn out lamentable
failures. The gambling to which
We refer is having such an init
mate knowledge of fertilizers and
their effects on any and all soils,
or, at least--thinking wo have
this acknowledgement Of the neces-
stiles Of the soils we cultivate and
OF the crops we plant In them, to
be willing to back our judgment
by actually betting on the guam
tity and quality of the yield. This
species Of gambling takes a man
with q head on his shoulders to
follow it successfully. He must
be an all-around fertilizer man.
A man who has full confidence in
(1) his land; (2) himself; and
(3) in fertilizer. He must believe
in positive fertilizstion i. g., in
fertilizing for purpose, a nd never
stop until this purpose is accom-
plished.

III ls possible to make 255 bush
els OF corn or five bales Of cotton
per acre. II has been done; it
can be done again. When done
1t is done by feeding the crop;
1T can be done in no other way.
Mr.Drake's brother,who owns the
farm adjoining that Of the great
corn-raiser offered to bet that Mr..
Zachariah Drake could not make
two bales of cotton per acre with
$40 worth of fertilizer. Mr.. Drake
accepted the wager. He applied
$39.75 worth Of fertilizer per acre
and harvested from said acre
LOO pounds Of lint cotton. We
ourselves were offered wager
that we could not make two bales
to the single acre at all, with any
amount Of fertilizer. We acceptd
the wager, and to day have many
stalks with 115 fine, well developed
bolls per stalk, with stalks rang
ing from 4X2 to AKA feet. Sup
pose they were all the latter dis
tance, or AKA feet apart each way.
This would be 1922 stalks per
acre. This, at 115 bolls to the
stalk (which, by the way, is very
low estimate, as We have repeat
edly seen stalks with upward OF
300 bolls, and last winter | saw a
stalk containing 555 open bolls)
and SO bolls to the pound Of seed
cotton (Which is said to be the
average Of five-lock cotton) would
amount to the right respectable
butsomewhat as stonishing amount
OF thrse bales per acre. AS the
present season has been e very
unfavorable one Con account of
severe and protraeted drought for
cotton, wo cannot help but look
with confidence for Far better
things in the near future. We
claim, and are prepared 10 make
our claim good In spite Of any or
all opposition, that any land that
will, unaided by applied fertility
in the shape OF manure or ferti-
Users, mako = stalk six or more
feet hiSh,c.., by the ample addi-
tion OF 800 pounds OF phosphate
(sither slag or acid phosphate)
and either 100 pounds Of muriate
Of potash or 400 pounds Of kainit
per acre, ~ . cost Of not exceed
ing s4.6O for the phosphate and
1928 for the potash. exclusive Of
freight, or $3.50 cents per acre,
first year. We are 80 confident; !;
in fact, positive, that this can be
done and ought to be done by any
and every cotton-raiser who ha.
land OF this description to devote
to cotton, that We are abundantly
willing to back our Judgment in
the matter and gamble just a lit
tie on the strength Of 1t. We are
doing it this year under very un-
favorable circumstances; we arc
to do it again if we live and are
able to superintend the business
of the farm. VIII we have done
others have done ais, what has
been done can be done again.
There is no patent-right 10 the
process. 1t is open alike to all.

BURIED ALIVE BY CHOICE.
Horrible Self-Martyrdom Practice

Horrible self-Martyrdom Prncticed
by a Sect in Russia.
A London dispatch to the New York Sun
says: Details have been received from
Odessa Of the self-immolation of a number
of the fanatical followers of Raskolniki, a
report of which was first received two
weeks ego. More than twenty-four bodies
of persons who were buried alive have been
recovered from q series of pits near Tires
pol. The sect Is survival of the old dis
senters, who were prosecuted in Rus
sia for two centuries. Their treat
ment was worst under Empress So
phia, when thousands of them were
knouted by the state. The result was that
they became fiercely fanatical and invented
q doctrine of salvation by martyrdom.
They are now practicing self-immolation.
Six bodies were accidentally discovered on
the premises of Feodore Kovaleff, who con-
fessed that he had walled up in his cellar
nine living persons, including his wife and
two young children. He further admitted
that he had buried the other six, while
they were still alive, in a specially excavat-
ed pit eight feet deep. Kovaleff declares
that all OF these were voluntary victims.
In an adjoining garden, belonging to Mat
vel Sukula, four bodies were discovered in
a pit. Sukula says that these were buried
alive at their own requests.
A large number of persons including
many foreigners, among whom Is an Amer
lean touring party, are visiting the scene.
