Eastern newspapers as we'll as south
ern and western are seeing what a stu
pendous evil and enemy are the Aide
vouring trusts. Some OF the public or
gans of thought are speaking out plain
ly about them. The Boston Post, the
oldest democratic paper in that city, in
referring to the proposed meeting
against trusts to be held at Chicago
next month, we believe it is, says:
The simple statement of the inter
ests to be represented at this gathering
shows deeply the growth of industrial
combination has struck it's root into
our system. The trusts suck their
sustenance from the very heart Of in
dustry. And out of the conference Of
these interests there ought to come
something in the way of practical sug-
gestion as to the way in which this new
development is to be mel and treated"
This is not the meeting Of Governors,
ETC., called for by Governor Sayers, Of
Texas, to meet at st. Louis. Both are
to deal with the awful, gigantic COM
binations and trusts. Let these two
bodies harmonic, pull together in a
common work against a common
enemy.

The cartoOnists have been heavy af-
ter little Alger and now they are. turn
ing their skill upon that great war
fraud General Otis. The New York
Journal has a great wooden cross
dressed up like a man. 1t is a scare
crow. The face is very fiery, the beard
long, the supposed arms extended with
a we'll hacked sword tied to the right
stick, and a bird standing at the end
of the left stick. On it's head it anoth-
er bird. The scare-crow stands in the
midst of a field Of arnag marked

standing about all with uniforms On
and military caps. Overhead appears
Not so fierce as it looks" A fence is

in shirt sleeves, with pipe in mouth, is
standing close up, and Uncle Sam is
on the outside, leaning or it. He speaks
to Mac-"Say, William, why don't you
take that away and hire a live man."
A decidedly good dea and a palpable
hit. The war needs no scare-crow, but
"a live man."
The Denver Post has a cartoon rep
resenting Major Mckinley as a recruit
ing officer. He is seated at a table with
scores of open letters covering it. They
all apply for commissions in the army
as officers. Overhead OF the wall you
read in large letters: Recruiting sta

The state of North Carolina Is every
way propitfous for settlers and inves-
tors. 1t has the best average climate
of any southern state, we believe. lis
winters are ordinarily mild when com
pared with Virginia and all states
north Of 1t or west OF ii. It has very
great diversity Of soil. It Is the best

ion. It offers varied and great adyan-

and bays and along the rivers of East

ed people living within our BORDERS,
but it will be new to people in the

Capetown, August S-A dispatcG i:Om

ed To agree TO the suggestion OF Mr..
Joseph Chamberlain, British secretary
of state for the colonies. that the eff
feet which the Transvaal franchise re-
forms will have on the Uitlanders
should be inquired into by a Joint COM
mission.
Volksraad, however. consents to re-
ceive friendly suggestions.
Pretoria, August S.-The reply to Mr..
Chamberlain's proposal OF a joint COM

warded and the Transvaal government
is still de~iberating

Of the London morning papers take &.
for granted that the secret session OF the
Volksraad called last evening will con-
firm the rejection Of Mr.. Chamberlain's
proposal. but leave the way open TO
continue negotiations.
They also dwell upon the serious stu

addition to he constitution compelling
them to ffht for the T~ransvaal, which
seems to indicate that the Transvaal

considers the round bale detrimental 10
all small ginners and agins, the inter-
est Of the cotton grower:
Il like the 24x54 standard much bet
ter than / did the larger press box. I
had no trouble in packing heavy bales.
and they looked much heater. I can
cover them with less bagging and han
die with greater ease. Six yards OF
bagging will cover a standard bale al
most completely, and / can put two
bales inside OF a two-horse wagon
body. / certainly favor the standard
bale and hope that all ginners will
adopt IL.
The advantages of a standard bale
in size and a practically standard bale
in weight. say $50 TO $50 pounds. is
doubtless apparent to all ginners who
have given the question careful IN
~sideration.
II consider the round bale that ID nov
being introduced detrimental 10 all
small ginners and much against the in
terest of the cotton grower. The time
has certainly come when the planter,
the ginner, the compressor. and in fact
any n who has any interest whatso-
ever in cotton, should stand shoulder
TO shoulder and oppose the encroach-
ments of that grasping monopoly
which is now threatening TO usurp
every branch of the cotton industry.
The aim of this monopoly Is TO place
intolerable burdens upon the producer,
to drive small ginners out OF business,
TO levy an exorbitnat royalty upon the
larger ginner who can afford 10 use
their machinery, and to strange all
competition.
THE farmer hauls his cotton in seed
to market. There will be no competi-
ton in grading and bidding; n man
sets the price, not only for the lint, but
also for the seed. DO you see the hand
Of a cotton trust behind this? DO you
see the hand of a seed trust behind
this? Do you see the hand of a gin
ming trust behind this? Do you see the
small gin shut up, and the farmer
forced to haul his seed cotton to the
nearest trust ginnery?
"A standard square bale seems TO be
the only remedy to apply to this evil.
1t has all the advantages claimed for
the round bale, and it is not the off,
spring of a monopoly. With the pres
ent method Of baling cotton We have
competition of buyers, with daily tele-
graphic information from all the mar
kets Of the world, competing against
each other, straining grades and limits
to get in, therby obtaining for the pro-
Queer the highest possible price.
The question is can we get the uni
form square bale adopted? Certainly
not by the efforts of any one man, nor
of a few men. In order to bring about
the desired results, the united efforts of
every one who feels an interest in the
matter will be required"
