COTTON IS WORTH MORE.
How the Farmer is Benefited by the
 Roundlap Bale.

The Atlanta Constitution, which recently published an elaborate re port on the Roundlap bale of the American Cotton Company. in dis cussing the value of the new system ot cotton handling. says: Ut is quite clear that, in order to raise the price which should go to the farmer for his cotton, the conner cial exp nses in handling it must be reduced.
 Unuer present conditions. the amount of money required to ham dle the crop, from the gin to the fac tory platform, has grown out of all proportion. so that it's commercial handling consumed the profit which should have gone to the grower. Viewed from this standpoint. there fore, every movem' nt which delivers the farmers cotton ith least ex- pence to the manufacturer must be regarded as of the widest pubic interest.
 "The new methods of round bal ing are on this line, doIng away with much of the clumsin ss and extravaganza of the old system and substituting one which can make of every cotton gIn a compress as well. The claims of the ronnd bale advocates show that we have en. tered upon an era ef ention which means much to the farmer, and much. therefore. to the coun- try"

BICYCLE THIEVES
Captured and Jailed This Morn-
 ing.

The officers have made two very important arrests. On Wednes- day afternoon they arrested Henry Davenport and this morning Henry Evans, two boys aged IA and b years respectively. Each is eharg- ed with stealing a bicycle.
 Sometime ago two bicycles were stolen from car of hardware in the Cotton Belt yards in this city. The car was consigned to a hard ware merchant at Camden.
 The frames in which the wheels were shipped were found in the brush near the yards, and ever since that time officers have been after the thieves.
 It was only recently that any clue was found. It came about by one of the boys trying to trade one of tie wheels to Harry Oicott. The boys conduct was suspicious aud the officers notified.
 W ednesday afternoon Davenport was arrested and jailed and the same fate met Evans this morning. The boys confessed and the bicycles were found hidden in field on the Shelby place about three miles from town.
 The indications are that it will go hard with the boys.

 You have been selected members of the textbook commission, and on you rests the responsibility of se- lectiDg series of books to be used in your county for the next six years.
 trust you will pardon me for ad- dressing this letter to you aed.eon- sider my interest in the educational affairs of the state as my apology for thus presuming to offer any sug- gestions. Tn vour examination of books submitted for adoption, four things should be considered special "
 First. The adaptaoility Of the hook to the needs of the pupil.
 Second. The character of the sub iect matter found therein.
 Third. The quality of binding, printing, Illustrations, etc.
 Fourth. The price o' the book.
 In order that the child may secure the best results from the use of any textbook, it is necessary that it be carefully graded. Much depends on the way in which the subject matter is presented tp the pupil, in order that his attention may be gained and his interest kept in what he is studying. This, with the younger pupil depends in d large measure on ihe attractiveness of the priated page, aided bS apt illustrations, and as is very evident, the character of the bidding has much to do with the lasting quality of the book.

Louisville, Ky, Nov. S-No mat ter what the result the face of the returns of Tuesdays election shows contest is very likely to oc- cur. Additional returns received today and tonight continue to show Republican gains and basiDg an es- innate upon the normal complexion of the precincts still unreported, in- dicate plurality of six or eight thousand for w. $. Tavlor for gov ernor. The belated returns are mostly from mountain counties which are strongly Republican. The Eleventh district, which in 1896 gave Mckinley a plurality of 10000, is only about half reported. Eleven ont of nineteen counties in this dis trict give Taylor pluralities aggre- gating 12,062. indicating that the Republicans have carried the dis trict by about the same figures as in 1896
 The Goehel party cling to their claim of a plurality of 1000 in the state, these figures being the esti- mate made by the nominee himself tonight. At Republican headqIar- ters in this city Taylor's plurality is placed at 5000 In neither case is it possible to get the figures upon which the claim is based, each side evidently fearing that giving pub iicIty to the reports of it's agents throughout the state might work to the advantage of his opponent in the event of Il contest.
