course, are of uniform size-four feet
long and about two feet in diameter.
The weight of the bale, of course,
depends upon the cotton that is offered
to be put in bale, and at Barnwell
1 saw bales turned out from 333 to 529
pounds. After the cotton to 60 into
the bale has been wound into round
or cylindrical form it is ready for its
cover, and jute or cotton cover is
rolled neatly around it and the bale is
completed, and by lever it is then
thrown from between the two iron
rollers, and is rolled over to have the
covering sewed. The iron rod which
is put in as a core is then driven out
and the package is complete. The
marketable bale contains nothing ex'
cept the covering of light bagging,
which has been rolled around it before
it is taken out of the press, and the
heads, which have been sewed on.
After being weighed the package is
then ready for market. The bale
could as readily be wrapped in paper,
for the bagging is simply used to pro-
tect the cotton against dirt in hand
ling; if the bagging were removed the
bale would retain its shape as it comes
out of the press, all the air having
been pressed out of it.

He TRIED IT.-Unquestioning obe-
dience is generally a good thing to
require from subordinates, but some
times it leads to strange results. Num-
erous complaints had come before a
certain official in regard to the quality
of food served to the inmates Of one
of the public institutions and he de-
termined to investigate for himself, in
order to see if the matter really re-
quired attention.
Making his way to the particular
building in question just about dinner
time, he walked straight over to where
the kitchen is located. At the very
door he encountered two muscular
looking men carrying a huge, steam
ing boiler.
"Put that kettle down." he brusque-
ly ordered; and the men at once
obeyed. "Get me a spoon," he next
commanded.
The man who brought the spoon
was about to say something, but was
ordered to keep silent.
"Take off the lid" was the next
command. "I'm going to taste it."
The two men were utterly cowed
by the official brusqueness, and, Won
dering, watched him gulp down a good
mouthful.
"Do you mean to say that you call
this soup ?" the official demanded.
"Why, it tastes more like dirty water"
$50 it is, sir" replied one of them,
respectfully. ave were just scrub

COMMENCE TODAY

DETWEEN this date and the MIDDLE OF
ID MARCH, 1t Is usual for the people Of this
section to select their reading matter for the
most enterprising and reliable newspapers in
the state it Is natural, therefore, that THE
YORKVILI,E ENQUIRER should also be
one Of the most popular Ninety per cent. Of
the families in the county desire It as regu-
lar visitor to their homes, and all those who
can afford it, may reasonably be looked upon
as probable subscribers. One Of the most Sc
rious drawbacks, probably, is the inconven;
ience of writing letters, sending money and
attending to the matter Of subscribing at the
proper time. It is this fact that makes 1t es-
pecfally desirable for US, just at this time, to
secure the services Of q large number OF intel.
ligent and energetic assistants, and to make II
worth their while to give the matter their
attention, we are making the liberal offers
which we will presently explain.
The price Of O single subscription one year
Is TWO DOLLARS. This Is to the individual
who does not give his name to a clubmaker {;
but sends it direct to this Office. In cubs,
however, the price is only ONE DOLLAR
AND SEVENfY-FIVE CENTS. That Is the
price which the subscriber pays the clubma-
ker, and the price which, under all circum-
stances, he Is expected to pay US. Now to our
propositions:

WOIlLD SAVE HIS BOOTS.

After he had sold his load of wood
and had received S4.25 for it, he stroll
ed over to the little combination bill
lard parlor and barroom on the other
side of the square, says the New York
Press. His faded old eyes lighted up
and bis new cowhide boots, larded
generously in grease, squeaked exult'
antly as he thought of that drink he
had been planning to get ever since he
left the farm at daybreak::
"Jest one old snifter.
Of that good old LITTER"
he cooed to himself, "and I'll be prim-
ed to start fer home.
"About one finger of that old red
eve will do The biziness, l kalculate," /"
he confde2 to the bartender, as he
pulled feverish red mitten from his
right hand and jammed it down in his
"pants" pocket. ~ amt drinkin'

lQo DdrIcuucI dSioou Will hA'
For months he had watched the old
farmers come in, order just one finger
of whisky and drink whole handful
of fingers for the manifestly unfair ex-
penditure of 10 cents. He had de-
cided to put a stop to it, and the farm
er with the new cowhide boots was
the first victim.
The remedy he placed before him
was powerful enough to thaw the
Yukon. The old man poured bis glass
full-iust as the bartender knew he
would-and gulped it down in one
big swallow. The effect was instan-
taneous. The victim gave one con-
vulsive shudder, looked reproachfully
at the bartender and whirled around
four times. Then he sat down and
hastily began to pull off his cowhide
boots.
"What the mischief are you doing
that for ?" inquired the astonished bar
tender.
"Can't ye see them's brand new
boots !' gasped the victim. "D'ye
think I'm goin' t'let them burn up,

ROUGH LIFE ON A LIGHTHOUSE.

Anyone tired of balloons, of great
wheels, and such like, and in seach OF
an entirely new sensation, should take
up job such as I have just left, said
an English lighthouse keeper, who has
recently retired on well-earned pen
sion.
I Ireckon that stormy night in some
of our lighthouses would raise new
sensations in the mind of anyone, who
ever he might be and wherever he had
been. No one can imagine what the
power of wind and of water is until
he has spent a rough night in light
house.
have been on lighthouses in my
time when the waves have dashed
themselves into a fury at the foot, and
stronger and higher, have gone right
over the top of the house, so yards
high. When a big wave strikes the
house there is roar like thunder, and
often you feel the place vibrate, as if it
would crumble to dust.
Lighthouses are made pretty strong,
you know; the finest engineering skill
is brought to bear upon them. They
weigh thousands of tons, and are as
well cemented as if they had been cut
out of solid block of granite I; but |
have been in them on stormy nights,
when they have rocked to and fro so
much that everything unfixed in the
room has been dashed to the ground.
Wants a strong nerve to stand a
night of that kind ? I should rather
think it does. I am pretty well used
to it, and pretty stout-hearted, fancy
but I have seen waves which have
made me bury my face in my arms,
and wait 80, expecting to be dashed
into eternity when the wave struck us.
No, it's not bad life on the whole.
Big storms try ones nerves badly, it is
true but we are very rarely left alone,
you know. There are generally four
of us-three on duty and one of and
so long as provisions do not run short,
we have little or nothing to fear.
Every lighthouse has fair library
and there are hundreds of ways in
which one can amuse himself, espe'
cially if the other fellows are of q
cheerful disposition.
