Working for Charleston.

The Charleston Post Is agitating practical
matters looking to the increase OF business In
that city. The Post yields the cotton shipping
business, and admits that the cotton mills are
taking great quantities OF the staple, and
Charleston therefore cannot hope to receive
cotton in future as in the past. To recoup the
city for this loss the Post proposes to seek the
business Of the cotton mills In shipping their
goods, so much Of which goes to China.
The Post is conservative and sensible In its
suggestions, and seems to take In the situa-
ton, and is desirous of adopting methods by
which the former business OF the city may be
regained.
II the people OF Charleston and her news.
papers would show themselves friendly with
the up.country people, they would cooperate
with them in any effort which might be made
to build up the old city. On q dead level the
people OF the up.oountry are proud of Char.
ieston, and II that city showed itself friendly,
much good would result to the city. 1t may
be contended-and 1t is true-that the friend.
ship or ill-will OF any individual has no COM
mercial significance, but 1t is equally true
that a friendly public sentiment toward a
city is worth much.
In former years nearly everybody In this
part Of the State dealt with Charleston, and
their wrecked estates, in other hands, tell a
tale.
Since the patrons Of Charleston have been
sold out, and other and newer men have
come upon the stage. Charleston is now al
most unknown to our people, except through
her papers. This should not be 30. There
should exist the best and most intimate rela.
tions.
The Philippines. for instance, may be dis
cussed, without giving offense.
Favors Of the general government may
properly be asked for the city, but II the Pres.
ident and other officers at Washington are
eternally held up to ridicule, the suppliant
for favors is placed at disadvantage.
The dispensary law may be very wicked,
but there is neither reason nor common sense
In being offensive about the matter.
While we do not believe that newspapers
have any great influence on homefolk who
know whereof they write. yet we believe 1t ia
true that q newspaper does have Its influence
abroad as representing the people OF the city
where 1t is published.
For instance: II a Charleston paper Is Of.
fensive to the President, the President is like
ly to accept the statements Of the local paper
as the sentiment OF the people among whom
1t is published.

Dewey Did Right.

Admiral Dewey has consulted his physi.
clan, who directs that the great admiral stay
at home, and not 60 wandering about over the
country. This will be great disappointment
to managers Of the great show In the Gate
City. If they could have secured his presence
he would have been the most conspicuous
animal in captivity today. Dewey, as the
commander of war vessels, is great man.
but Dewey as q politician, and cheap show
man, would disappoint both the public and
himself. Even If he could be elected Presi-
dent, the politicians would lead him such
merry dance that the illustrous naval officer
would wish that he had died when was
babe. Dewey ought to have sense enough TO
rest on his laurels, and refuse to rent him.

Disgruntled Atlanta.

Dewey is not going to Atlanta, and some Of
the people of that city are greatly displeased
thereat.
The Journal thinks Dewey got sick because
Of the multiplicity Of invitations and prints

"Possum Trot," "Yapville," "Lickskillet,'
and enumerable other people who would
honor Dewey.
ATLANTA" Is represented by q pretty
woman wearing dazzling crown, and hold
ing hands with Dewey, while the great admi-
raj is bowling Off other supplicants for recog-

or course Atlanta feels greatly the disap-
pointment In not securing great star for
their big show, but that Is no reason for the
exhibition OF bad taste In berating others for
doing exactly the same thing that the Gate
City has done. in inviting MIR. Dewey to come
and make show for them.

Net daily loss on bagging and ties.S57 70
As far as the daily consumption goes, we
submit that cotton mills Of the size Of the
Abbeville Cotton Mill could gin the cotton
without the charge Of single cent for the
service, and in addition to the free ginning
could pay one-eighth q cent more for the cot.
ton which 1t ginned, and which was not sub.
jected to the baling process.
II the cotton. mill can gin forty bales Of cot
ton at cost not exceeding s., and give an
eighth Of a cent-or 62]a cent per bale extra
(or s25 extra on the 40 bales)-it will be seen
that the daily cost to the mill would be re-
duced from &57.7o to s3a. Or making clear
daily reduction Of S25 In loss 10 the mill.
- OF course this very advantageous arrange
ment could only apply as far as the daily con-
sumption is concerned.
Viewing 1t as we do, and taking estimate OF
the situation from q practical standpoint, 1t
is, In our opinion, only question Of very
short time until every cotton mill, which is
in reach OF the farmer, will have ginnery
connected with 1t, where the staple may be
ginned without cost, and where the farmer
will receive higher price for his cotton, than
II baled at other ginneries.
II the gin house is located not too far from
the cotton mill, the cotton could be transferr-
ed from the gins directly to the opening.room
Of the mill by means Of pneumatic tubes.

To Bale or Not to Bale; That Is the
Question.

To Bale or Not to Bale; That II the
Question.
Much has been said Of late about the proper
mode of baling cotton. The round bale is be-
ing pushed by some, and the square bale is
not without its defenders. Each form OF
packing has It's advocates.
Now, let us suggest that one or the other
system will exist perhaps forever, as far as the
great mass Of the cotton crop is concerned,
but, when the planter lives near to mill IS
there any necessity for baling the cotton at duf
We contend that there is no known reason
why cotton except the excess Of the daily
ption-should be baled.
The expense Of ginning, packing, and bag
ging bale Of cotton at Abbeville Is one dol.
lar and fifty cents. On each bale OF cotton ia
put some % to 25 pounds OF bayging and ties.
AT present prices OF cotton, the cotton mill
pays about dollar and fifty cents because OF
the additional weight Of the covering, which
is almost an entire loss.
The farmer pays sl.50 to have his bale ginn.
ed, packed and bagged. When the bale Ia
sold the weight Of the bagging and ties is in.
cluded In the bale. The cotton mill then pays
the farmer sl.5O for the bagging and ties. and
he thus practically has bis cotton ginned and
packed at the expense Of the cotton mill.
Would 1t not then be cheaper for the cotton
mills, which are in reach OF the planters, TO
GIN cotton free OF all cost?
Let rs see. Take the Abbeville Cotton
Min as an example. AS soon as their new
spindles and looms are in position, 1t II esti.
mated that forty bales will be the daily con-
sumption.
