ROUNDLAP BALE IS WORTH MORE.
Why Texas Farmer and Compress Mar
Wishes Success to tho American
Cotton Company's Package.

Tho following lottor from Mr.. j. Adouo,
of Calvert, Texas, is interesting as show
ing the attitude toward tho American Cot
ton Company's Roundlap bale of man
who is cotton farmer as woll as tho
owner of a square bale compress:
Dear Sir: A few days ago noticed a
bill introduced i'll the Legislature pro-
posing to tax your company 40 por cent.
of its gross receipts. 1 presume tho bill
is intended to confiscato your property
or drive you out of this State.
"Your machinery congresses tho cot
ton in smaller and bettor package than
tho present comprossos. You arc in the
field now Offering to save the cotton grow
crs fully S1.0o por balo by reason of
compressing the cotton at the gin and
the saving Of bagging and tics, yardago,
ctc.
''No doubt it is the intention of the
Legislature to protect tho present COM
presses from your iniquitous competid
ton, and rs n compress man want them
to do it.
GAS farmer, however, hope you will
not be driven out; I want to continue to
sell you my cotton at about $1.OO per
bale more than if-~put up in square
bales. Yours truly,
- (Signcd) j. ADoUE.

Awful Seafaring Experience.

The British steamship, Woodruff, Capt
Robert Milburn, arrived at Charleston
last Saturday, brought q narrowing tale
of shipwrook, cannibalism and raving
lunaoy. Maurice Andersen and Good
mund Thomassen were tho sole survivors
Of the Norwegian bark Drat. The mon
wore picked up from raft by the Wood
ruff 250 miles south of Charleston Thurs
day, August 81. Thoy were in sad
condition, tho ono raving maniac and
tho other exhausted and may mover re-
gain strength. Tho story of their suffer.
ings on the sea is almost sickoning., Tho
Drat won't to pieces on August 15. Six
mon floated Oh a raft, q portion of the
ships deck, and they wore withoutfood
and water. Tho situation becar'e des.
perate, and finally 1t was resol*eda'that
ono should give himself to bei eaton by
his companions. 1t was decided to draw
lots. 1t was case of ono sacrifice
or six sacrifices and tho lot was drawn.
1t fell on young German. He was a
cheerful victim. He was frail and small,
but his lifo's blood was worth having,
and on the deck of tho raft his viens
woro opened and his companions sucked
his blood. Every mar took his place and
drank of tho young Germans blood. The
day that tho lot was drawn could not be
learned. The body was carried on the
raft for several days. Three of the sea.
men lost their minds and overheard they
