ROUNDLAP BALE PRESS.

What the Largest Roundlap CottDn Plant
In the South Has Doae for theft iner.
The Huntsville Roundup Bale Com
pres Plant was organized by T.. w. Pratt,
says the HUNTSVILLE Ala, Mercury
ut is owned by Messrs. Pratt, & Ceons;
and is the largest ip.the South.
This plant started in operation in
the fall of 1897, ginning and baling the
first year 3,5QQ bales OF the crop Of 1898
it ginned about 7600 baiess The proprle-
tors expect to gin and bale 1900 bales
OF the present crop. The results of this
system are untold-in their advantages to
the farmer and the shipper. This plant
has reduced the cost of baling from 50 so
to S10O bale.
"The farmer drives his load of cotton
to the gin, and can sit on his wagon aud
rest ten nlnnits, during which. time his
wagon is unloaded by machenery, his
cotton ginned, baled, sampled and marked
and delivered into his wagon together
with the seed II he prefers, or n he pre-;
fers, he can take storage ticket FORGOT
ton and seed and be bothered no more
with his product. But these are not all
the advantages, He can drive to this
gin and sell his cotton, in any quantity
from 100 pounds to 100 tons, at the mar
ket price, without having it ginned at all.
For the small farmer this system is the
best Of all. He handles his cotton crop.
in this manner exactly as he does his
corn crop, selling 10 large or small
quantities as he wishes money or has
time to deliver"

The prospect for the Edenborn rail
road to build to Colfax is not yet as
sured. Col. Poindexter Dunn, who
has lately gone over the entire pro-
posed route, and who has also had a
conference with the authorities at
headquarters, which he is able to do
from st. Maurice by telephone COM
munication, is unable as yet to give
Us any positive assurance in the mat
ter. He insists, that, under his in
structions and the proposition sub
mitted, the railroad company is under
no obligations to build until the en-
tire right OF way has been secured, and
that Mr.. Edenborn will positively not
accept anything short OF the right of
way asked before consuming forwork
to begin. He is a man of few words,
does what he says he will, but he will
not consider himself bound to turn a
wheel until his terms are accepted in
full. This is an important and seri-
GUS condition of affairs. Let us all
set to work in earnest to remove all
obstacles, and work will begin inside
OF the stipulated sixty days. Fail to
meet the conditions, and sixty months
may pass before We again have such
an offer.
