THE FIRST BALE ARRIVES.
shipped by Parker ~ Go. of Albany
TO Gardner Il. Dickinson.

Savannahs first bale of cotton for the
season of lS99-19OO was received yesterday.
The cotton came by express from Albany.
being shipped by Parker q Co. of that city
to G. Z. Dickinson Of Savannah. The new
bale arrived just one day earlier than that
of last year, which also came from Alba
ny. As a matter of fact the first bale of
1898 arrived in Savannah on July IS also,
but as it arrived at night it was not Off
ciaily received until the next morning.
The bale received by Mr.. Dickinson
is the first Of the Georgia
crop of 1899 and one of the
first in the South. one or two bales from
Texas having been already received az
New Orleans. The bale was placed on ex-
hibition in front of the cotton exchange
and was examined with interest by the cot
ton men. AS usual with first bales doubts
We're expressed as to it's genuineness and
remarks made which indicated that there
were those who were suspicious as 10 it's
contents.
The invoice weight of the bale was 1866
pounds. but the official weight at the cot
ton exchange was only 100 pounds. From
the liberal manner in which samples were
picked from the bale by those who examin,
ed IL some loss in weight could hardly have
been avoided. The bale was of standard
size, but loosely packed. The baggage was
loose ana the package made a poor appear
ance. 1t was evident even to the most
casual observer that the grade of the bale
was not of the highest the cotton being
stained and damp and varying in color
The report Of the classification committee
showed this to be the case. Hopes were ex-
pressed by those who viewed the bale that
it did not furnish q fair indication of the
coming crop.
The report of the classification commit
tee of the cotton exchange was to the eff
feet that the bale was of this years
growth. "While the cotton is evidently
new said the report, 1T is damp and cut
and mixed with low middling tinged and
middling white"
After being classed the bale was removed
to the vestibule of the cotton exchange.
where 1t remained on exhibition during the
day. The bale viii be sold at auction at
noon to-day. Last years first bale was
consigned TO p. d. Datiin & Co. and sold
| al auction for cents. The first bale of
| 1897 brought 10 cents pound at auction,
middllng being then quoted at "a cents.

NEAK-GROwING APPLE TREES.-
There is a great difference in varie-
ties Of apple trees as to their habit of
growth, aud Judgment is needed in
portloning out the manure to be used
on each. The strong growing varie-
ties like Northern Spy will need very
little stable manure until they begin
to fall from old age. But there are
other kinds of slow and feeble growth
that even while young can bear some
stimulation with stable manure. es-
pecially If 1t is composted. and its
deficiencies of potash and phosphate
are supplied. Coarse manure ought
never TO be applied to apple trees at
any age. 1t is the fermentation Of
manure IN the soil that il the prolific
cause of the fungus growths taat in
Jure failage and fruit more than the
manure can help the tree. The only
fertilizers that can be always used
with safety are the minerals, potash
and phosphate.

A Touching Incident at the Battle

The New York Journal tells the
following:
When the order was given TO strip

before be had been gazing at his mo

took his coat off he had kissed the
picture and put it in his inside pock-

turned to the captain and asked per-
nilsson TO jump over and get it. Nat
urally the request was refused. The
boy then went to the other side of the
ship and climbed down the latter. He

coat had dropped and succeeded in

came back he was ordered in chains
for disobedience. After the battle be

obedience and found guilty. Com
modore Dewey became interested in
the case, for be could not understand
why the boy had risked his life and
dlsobeyed orders for coat. The lad
had never told what his motives were.
But when the Commodore talked TO
him in kindly Way, and asked him
why ne had done such strange things
for an old coat. be broke into tears
and told the Commodore that his
mothers picture was IN the coat
Commodore Dewev's ewes filled with

he picked the boy mp in his arms and

"A Cool 'Un.

"He's cool 'un" is the wsy the
soldiers in a certain English regiment
describe one of their officers, young
man whose self f-possession in the time
of danger saved his men from defeat
and probably from death.
The circumstance which gave this
officer his reputation is related by
Rudyard Kipling in the Westminster
Magazine. He writes:
"A very young officer, who had
gone almost straight from school 10
the army and thence to India, was
leading his company through rocky
pass, on returning from scouting
expedition.
They were beset by the enemy,
who fred at them from behind the
rocks, and the men were growing very
unsteady. Those in the rear began
to grow impatient, and shouted to the
men in front:
"Hurry up. What are you wait
ing for there:"
The young officer answered quite
cOOlly:
Hold on minute. I'm lighting
my pipe
And he struck match and lit il.
There was roar Of laughter, and
soldier called out:
"'Well, since you're so pressin'. |
think I'll have a pipe myself
And he. too. struck match. and
began to smoke. This bit of fun
steadied the men. and they came
through in good order"

SEEDLESS FRUITS.-We have not
taken much interest in talk about
seedleSs fruits, for the reason that trees
or plants on which they grow must
be propagated by layers or cuttings,
both of which involve much skilled
labor. But one advantage may make
these fruits profitable. They would
be exempted from attacks by insects
which place their eggs at the blossom
end of fruits, that being the place
where the egg may be most safely
and securely deposited, and from
which there is an open way to the
core. The seedless apple would be
like a navel orange. solid all the way
through, and with no blossom end.
But if ali orchards were seedless
would not the always enterprslng
insect contrive some way to meet
this emergency, and perhaps become
more destructive than eyer.

THE PUFFs EvII.-City papers are
not so prosecuted with requests for
puffs as the country brethren, but
the pauper nOtoriety seeker is to be
found everywhere.
He who begs is classed as pauper
and deservedly so. A man has no
moral right to beg for a free newspa-
per notice than he has to ask as
gift for a free lunch or "a new hat.
One may seek notoriety, if he
pleases; but he has no right to ask it
at the expense of others. A newspa-
per is divided into two parts one for
news and comments, the other for ad-
vertising. The editor knows what
constitutes news, and he does not care
to fill that department up with items
that are of no use to the general or
der, and only concern the individual.
The advertising department has
space for sale The newspaper has
expenses to be met and must depend
largely upon the advertising for it's
maintenance. The advertising space
is u commodities sugar, coffee and
flour. One should feel just as de-
graded IN begging puff from a news
paper as in begging sack of flour
from a grocer.-Newspaper Maker.
