Ia q new tanning process, which is
said greatly to increase the uniform

liquor is applied with q brush to the
grain side, the liquor containing
substances which cause q consider

the grain side greatly expands and
swells up, but which prevents the

tam firmness and consistency which
they retain through all the subse-

carried through and the hide tanned

BLUNDERs, PAST AND PRESENT.
There was a time when our we'll.
known Democratic dailies considered
a clerical error committed by . clerk
in the legislative service of the State
an injury to the States interests Of
such grave and terrible magnitude
that they felt it their patriotic duty
to dig and delve among the archives
of State in diligent search of such
petty errors, and if perchance they
discovered flaw in the manuscript
of which comma was omitted or
an ii" not dotted or q ct" not
crossed, they considered it party
capital of such excellent value that
they hawked it about for party proit
as industriously ss q street-vender

fore the Legislature of 1899, that
wisest Legislature the State has
ever had" but which, by the way,
made more blunders than any Legis-
lature In the previous history of the
State. The CAUCASIAN has already

errors, all Of which are of more seri.

One Seasons Experience.
Pocahontas, Miss, Correspondence Me-
ridian Ginner.
Your letter asking me to write You
and "tell US all you know about the
round bale, whether it be good or
bad" received. | will write you
what / sec from the ginner's stand
point, and one who buys cotton at
country points.
In July last, contracted for the
American Cotton Company's half
bale press and began the tedious
task of trying to run the round bale
system. I found that the cost of
freight and erection incurred by me
in the contract was q great deal more
than I expected, or had been esti-
mated to me. The advertised CLAIM
Of the company is, that the cotton
''shall bring As cents per hundred
pounds more than the square bales
are worth" This last part, or two
words, "are WORTH" is the gate at
which all the sheep get out. In Az
ing contracts for this cotton, the
freight on square bales to the point
is considered and the contract based
on the spot quotation of the port.
So when | began to gin, l found that
my average price was only 25 points
above square bale values, and tLat
many times during the season there
was no premium.
The system of buying square cot
ton on contract market, and the
round bale on spot market, accounts
for this and SO often occurred that
had no premium to offer the farmers
or to reimburse myself for having
rented the press. This of course
forced me to run the gin without q
profit, either in the matter of ginning
or cotton buying, as the farmers de
manded the premium, % points in
lieu of the tale in bagging and ties,
and the 20 fpoints rental on press
took up the ginning profits. The re-
suit can be seen. | ginned the crop

s,derably more to run than when u.s.
ing square press. AS far as nv re.
search has extended, the claim !
make holds good, and in a larger
town | have visited the premium
generally was 90 points.
The trouble with the press and ma
chirery thereto comes in the matter
Of having to adjust its many parts

trouble comes in handling the pub.

hard on the glnner, but no ginner
can conceive before hand in What a
position he places himself.
Now the actual fact is, there is no
gam in the system under the CON
tract. either to the ginner or farmer.
and all the farmers anywhere have
gained has been lost to the einner

fully realized by them and q man

would not have felt gain; but
found the community demanded
more than equality with square cod
ton. The enormous claims of the
round bale people had the public
firm in the belief that there was
something in 1t for them and they
demanded it. l found that merchants
and planters having customers would
influence them to gin on the round
bale only when the price named was
a knockout to the other side when
the bids were equal though the
round bale had often given him good

the square bale. Thus the round
bale gin has to lose money before
they can possibly satisfy the public.

A PLAN FOR THE DEFEAT OE "BRY-
ANISM."

The CAUCASIAN has often eX-
pressed the opinion that the thing
that would influence the gold DEM
ocrats In their attitude toward the
denomination Of Mr.. Bryan in 1900
would be his chances OF success or
defeat. That Is to say, il the out
look for McKlnley's re election
grows so bright as to make it al
most certain, then the gold Demo-
Gratis will not only submit to Mr..
Bryan's denomination, but will
urge it for no other reason but to
defeat him, believing that with
second defeat "Bryanism," as they
slurringly term it, will forever af-
forwards be numbered only with
the things that werc. The Wash
ingtOn Post In a recent editorial al
SO considers this the course that
will be pursued by the gold Demo-
Gratis. After stating that it had
been assured by many Democrats
who we're elected to Congress in
that campaign 1896 and re-elec-
ted last year that more than a mil
lion of their political brethren sac
riflced their convictions on the
coinage question rather than break
away from their party" and that
these men believed there was nc
hope for Democratic victory in the
next campaign, the Post concludes
"Believing that their party is III
no condition for a hopeful fight mex
year, these non-bolting gold stand
ard followers Of Bryan will join hi'
most enthusiastic supporters il
putting him up for another figh
ON the old battle field"
The defeat OF Bryan and Bryan
ism is the one object these gOlt
Democrats have in view. 1t wa
the thing that made them pretent
to support him in 1896 "for regu
larity sake" but in reality for tn
sake Of again controlling the par
ty machinery. How we'll they hav
succeeded the recent political his
tory Of many Of the states will tell
and none better than that Of Nortl
Carolina.
