CYLINDRICAL COTTON BALES.

Following the article published
from the Manufacturers Record last
week touching the ginners' meeting in
Waco, Texas, Jan. 25th, at which the
question of the round cotton bale was
considered with view to adopting
this or some more practical method Of
packing and handling cotton, the clip
ping below will be Of special interest.
A press dispatch from Galveston,
under date of Jan. 9Th, says:
1t is learned from very aut hentic
source that there is in contemplation
here the formation in the near furture
of stock company with an authorized
capital of $, 900, 900, having for its
object the introduction and operation
of cylindrical bale cotton congresses
| throughout the cotton States AS this
| system OF COMPRISING involves com
| plete change in the present manner Of
| handling cotton, 1t is aimed to make I:
an international affair in order to find
a ready outlet for the cotton thus put
up. The company contenplates e>tab-
| fishing ginning and comprising
plants at all points in the cotton grow
ing districts where il may eXHeC, to
handle ten thousand bales during a
season. Each Of lis plants is TO have
capacity of not less than 100 bales
per day and IS to be Of the most in
proved order. The company will con
troll The patents covering the compre S
ers as we'll as other machinery used in
the make up Of its system of ginning,
cleaning and comprising cotton and
will erect machine shops and founda-
ries at the most advantageous points
for the manufacture Of all is machn
cry. This system of baling cotton
will, It is claimed, result in great saw
ing TO he producers as well as 70 snip
pcrs Of cotton.

DISPENSARY VS. BAR-ROOMS
Hr. Hicks Again Writes on the Sub

Nine bar-rooms having made applica-
tons in due form are now open and
will remain open till June Both. 1t
is proposed to close them then and have
a dispensary. What is a dispensary?
1t is place where all kinds of pure
liquors and wines will be kept and
sold at so per cent. profit, between
sunrise and sunset, in sealed bottles,
not to be opened or drunk on the prem
ises or Oh the street. Il is to be con-
trolled by three discreet temperance
men, entirely distinct from the poll
tics of the town, county or State. They
are to be appointed by the Legislature.
These three will elect the manager or
clerk and fix his pay, not over $4,000
per month. The net proceeds are to
90 as liquor licenses now do; one
third to the county, one-third to the
school fund, and strict accounting and
bonds are TO be required. This will

TRIBUTE TO NORTH CAROLINA.
The Piedmont UeadHsht, published
at Spartanburg, S. c., pays the follow
ing tribute to North Carolina, which
we are sure will be appreciated:
North Carolina may have and
doubtless has her full quota Of mean
people; but somehow or other IN our
experience and ORGANIZATIONS over
this mundane sphere We have never
as vet met with a Tar Heller but we
found him big -hearted, whole-souled,
clever fellow. They are shrewd bust
ness men, keen traders, but honorable
and Just. They are true friends and
open enemies. We have always been
| partial to North Carolnians, but per
haps it was because we happened TO
| fall in with the cream of the State. We
! have met and transacted business with
thousands of them, and we never knew
one to do a mean, d!shonorable or
underhard act. Among the true5t and
| best friends we ever knew were natives
| of East Tennessee and the Old North
| State.

Senator McCandless Talks of
Sound Country--Seattle Cap
lures Alaskan Trade.

Senator John McCandless was on the
street yesterday, after pleasant visit
TO his old home in the East and in
Washington State. The Senator drop
ped into business at once, and was
pleased with the work on the wells at
Waipio
Annexation was not talked of much
in the States while was there said
the Senator. Every one was interest
ed in the inaugural and wouldn't talk
about anything else. 1t seemed to be
the opinion of every one east of the
Rockies who had time to think about
anything but McKinley's Inauguration,
that annexation was the thing, and
they expressed themselves as favorable
to the scheme. They look upon it as
the natural result
cone old friend of mine, the Mayor
of a suburb of Chicago, and manager
for the great J. r. Mott Iron Works,
has always been hard-headed Demo-
crat, but the way the Cleveland admin
istration treated us ON the annexation
question caused him to change his
views. He voted for Mckinley, and is
with us on annexation, and believes
firmly that it will come during this adj
ministration.
West of the mountains" continued
the Senator, more particularly Wash
ington, the action of Congress regard
ing Hawaii or Cuba does not have the
effect of keeping people awake nights
They have their thoughts on mining
and thousands have flocked to Ross
land and SLOGAN, in the Kootnay coun-
try, and made fortunes. From what l
could hear. Spokane and Seattle have
gone wild over mining. Many of the
men who have gone into British Co
lumbia mines have become wealthy in
4 short time. and this has encouraged
others. Seattle seems to be doing well
enough. Without any apparent effort
she has captured nearly the entire
Alaskan trade, and great deal of the
Kootnay mining trade as well.
MY time was so short that I could
not spend as much time at my old
home in Ellensburg as | would have
liked. There is a charm about that
part of Washington that makes it ir-
resistible to one who stays there long
enough to get acquainted. The soil
around Ellensburg is rich, and cereals
grow in fine shape. 1t is a great hay
country. and where there is hay there
is bound to be cattle. The stock around
Ellensburg is in splendid condition
and dairies flourish in consequence. On
the sound Ellensburg butter is consid-
cred superior to any in the State, and
brings a higher price. [ brought a
quantity of it down with me, and have
given it to some friends to try. | don't
think it's equal can be made here, be-
cause the quality of feed is different,

Senator McCandless was much inter-
ested in the Japanese affairs and rath-
er anxiously awaited the outcome.
