After a Canada Minister

The following is from The Central
Presbyterian:
THE Westminster, of Toronto, Can
ada, reports that efforts are made to
secure the Rev. Robert E. Knowles,
pastor of Knox church, Gait, for the
First Presbyterian church of Whining
ton, n. c. The Westminster says:
Mr.. Knowles is one of the youngest
ministers in Canada and is pastor Of
one of the largest congregations. He
was formerly minister of Stewarton
church, Ottawa. His ministry in Calf
has been successful beyond the expec-
tation of ever his best friends. The
various sections into which hat great
congregation was jarringly divided 4
few years ago have been brought to-
gether and there is harmony and hope
fulness in all the work of the church.
Mr.. Knowles is regarded as a
preacher of uncommon brilliance. His
gift of easy utterance and of striking
phrase-making is truly marvellous,
and when years have added to his pres
emit endowment their richer heritage,
and experience has made him feel, as
experience alone can, what Is
THE burthen Of the mystery,
The heavy and the weary weight,
OF all this unintelligible world
his power an a preacher Of Christ's
Gospel, c~onsecrated to the pulpit's
highest ends, Will be a mighty blessing
to the Church."

IS 1T RIGHT
For an Editor to Recommend Pasenf
Medicines?

Medicines2
(From Sylvan Valley News, Brevard,
N. c.
1T may be a question whether the
editor Of a newspaper has the right to
publicly recommend any Of the various
proprietary medicines which flood the
market, yet as a preventive of suffer-
ing we feel it a duty to say a good
word for Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera
and Diarrhoea Remedy. We have
known and used this medicine in our
family for twenty years Inc have al
ways found it reliable. In many cases
a dose of this remedy would save hours
of suffering while a physician is await
ed. We do not believe in depending
implicitly on any medicine for a cure.
bu we do believe that if a bottle Of
Chamberlain's Diarrhoea Remedy were
kept on hand and administered at the
inception of an attack much suffering
might be avoided and in very many
cases the presence of a physician would
not be required. At least this has been
our experience during the past twenty
years. For sale by r . r. Bellamy.

Death of the Rev. Sidney G. Law

SAAAO oe -
The New York Times, of July 22nd,
says:
The Rev. Sidney G.. Law, for two
decades the missionary chaplain at the
Tombs, during which time he had min
istered to the spiritual wants of many
hundreds Of prisoners, died at his
home, 275 Clinton avenue, Brooklyn, on
Wednesday,, of paralysis. Mr.. Law
was born January 3, 1881, in Whining
ton, N. c., where he received his early
education. At the first opportunity he
entered Princeton College and Theo-
logical Seminary, from which he was
graduated at the age OF % years. After
his graduation he did home missionary
work in the west, and later pastoral
work at NOrthpOrt, L. L, where he re-
NAMED in charge Of a Presbyterian
church for fourteen years. From there
he went to Reading, Conn.,, as pastor
Of a Congregational church, staying
there six a and then coming to
this city. He leaves a wife and six
children, five Of whom are mission
aries"
The Rev. Mr.. Law was a nephew of
the late Mr.. Timothy Savage. of Will
mington, and cousin of our townsman
Captain Henry Savage and Mrs. z.
Latimer. He also has other relatives
here. Mr.. Laws father was of the
first elders of the First PRESBYTERIAN
church of our city, and by reason of
this fact the Rev. Mr.. Law was one
of the invited guests at the church
celebration in 1893.

tGinner in Alabama Has Operated the
Cylindrical Presses aud is D~issatis>
fed

Uniontown, Ala, May 31st, '98.
1 have been operating at my farm
six miles from Uniontown, Ala, since
September 1897, in connection with my
ginnery, n of the American Cotton
ECompany's Cylindrical Presses; during
this time 1 have packed LOO bales of
cotton with this press, principally my
own raising.
After using the Cylindrical press for
one season l am so much dissatisfied
with it that l have decided to go back
to the old process OF the square bale,
and I conscientiously advise any and all
farmers and ginners to leave the round
bale system severely alone and devote
themselves to the improvement Of the
square bale.
There are numerous disadvantages
connected with the round bale system,
the principle one being the parties
using it are dictated to as to whom they
will sell their cotton, thereby taking
away from the cotton owners and plan
ters all privileges of selling his own
cotton; buyers thereby being limited
may make the price to suit themselves.
You can readily see how this will
operate against any one running a pub
lie gin. l am putting in a press box,
24x54 inches, inside measurement, and
believe that if every ginner in the
south will do likewise that it would
put into the hands of the farmers of the
south, $4,000, 5000 annually, by reason
of h fact that this sized bale can be
compressed to a density of forty pounds
to the cubic foot, thereby obtaining a
lower rate of freight from the trans
p%ortation companies OF Is to 20 cents
per hundred pounds, say 80 cents to
$1.00 per bale on a crop of ten to eleven
million bales. With a uniform press
box 24x54 inches, I believe the COM
plants of the ragged condition of the
American cotton bale will cease and
that the square bale system OF packing
will be insured for an indefinite time.
