ROUNDLAP BALES IN ENGLAND.

Hon. william Coverings Demonstration
OF 1hree Cotton Bales U. rolling
Automatically.
Hon. William c. Lowering has returned
from Europe, where he has been looking
after the interests of the American Cot
ton Company. He found the spilners of
England and the continent using the
Roundup bale with the greatest salts
faction. They are keenly alive to all the
money saving advantages of the new sys-
tenn. The ease with which the bale is
handled in transit and at the mill de-
lights them. The low cost of freight and
insurance, the immunity from fire in the
mill and the fact that there are no hoops,
wires or metals of any kid used in bal
ing are features that especially appeal TO
the thrifty European SpinnerS.
Mr.. Lowering had the opportunity to
address a meeting of prominent cotton
manufactures o. Lancashire ON the mer-
its of the Roundup bale, and by the
courtesy of Messrs. Howard and Bull
Tough of AccringtOn they were invited
to witness a demonstration of the run
uing of three bales of cotton directly on
the apron of a Scutcher. Nothing could
have been more perfect or absolutely
satisfactory than the working of the cot
ton in this way. The scutcher was
started with three bales upon the apron
and ran off at once without hitch or
interruption. The noise made by the
heaters was a steady, deep and EeaIthful
hum, showing that the machine was do
ing its work without laborlng in the
least. The lap that was made was clean
and even running, weighing sixteen
ounces to the yard.
The spnners took the greatest inter
est in the dem EstratiOn and with one
accord expressed their complete satisfac-
ton with the operation. They said tn 1t
they saw in the new system great revo-
luton in cotton manufacturing They
are all anxious to buy the new bale, and
are ready to give orders at once.
They were surprised and gratltied to
see that the scutcher was an ordinary
scutcher, such as they were using in all
their mills. They had been led to think
that it required special machinery for
the purpose, whereas it only required a
little heavier apron to carry the bales or
laps, weighing two hundred and sixty
pounds each. Boston Transcript.

Instead, the Fort Gaines Guards. the
only company in the regiment which
was recommended by Colonel Obear to
be musteIe ed ont after his inspection last
spring, was reinstated. The Fort Games
Guards was one of the oldest and best
known companies in the state, aud the
citizens of that place loved it so much
that many strong appeals were made by
the prominent citizens of Fort Gaines to
have the company reiEstated. The Adj
visory Board, therefore, ordered that it
be reinstated.

MCKINLEY GREATLY ALARMED.
Has Fears of Republican Success In His

Has Feare OF hepuDHcHn SucCoss sn Ha0

A Washington dispatch to the Savan-
nah News says: The president is thor
oughly alarmed over the political out
look in Ohio.
The letter of Secretary Hay, which is
SD remarkable as to still be matter of
comment. was the first indication of the
administrators fear of democratic sue
cess, and to-day it is stated that the
president has directed Postmaster Gen
eral Smith to proceed 10 Ohio next
month and make speeches tor the re-
publican candidate.
1t is also quite likely that the presi-
dent will make some rear platform
speeches as he crosses Ohio to go to the
corner stone laying at Chicago on Octo-
Der 8.
A bombshell was thrown nto the ad-
ministration camp today by the pu olica-
ton of letter from Ohio in the New
York Tribune saying the republican
party was in bad way, and that its de-
feat would not be surprising.
The letter asserts that thousands of
republican in Ohio are disguised with
the attitude of the president on the
Philippine question, and with the man
ner in which Mckinley "aids and abets
Hanna" in the latter's efforts to boss
the state.

Mr.. Bryan is one of the hardest work
ing men in public life. He is continually
on he go, and seems to end one speech
only to begin another. The Nebraska
campaign which he has opened will re-

two weeks, then he will visit Kentucky
and make two speeches day for about
two weeks, and then 60 east and keep
up about the same average of speeches.

VANDERBILT'S BIG WAR TAX.
His Estate Will PAY Altogether About
Five Million Dollars.

Until the will of the late Cornelius
Vanderbilt is filed for probate it will not
be known how much federal war revenue
tax and how much Inheritance tax of the
New York. The law provides that the
executors of the estate shall make to the
collector of internal revenue report of
the amount of the legaces under the will
and the collector may accept the report
or make an investigation to determineits
correctness before he proceeds to collect
the war revenue tax on The legacles I'M
der the will.
The collector has the power to seize
the property of the estate If such a
course be necessary to collect the tax.
For the c lection of the Inheritance tax
Collector COer is the authorized agent.
1t is probable that the surrogate will APP
point an appraiser to determine the
amount of the estate which is subject to
the inheritance tax under the law.
The war revenue tax on the legacies, it
is expected, Will be 2! per cent. 1t is
believed that Mr.. Vanderbilt left his for
tune to his wife and children. If, as has
been rumored, he left to members of his
family as much as $3.50, 100000, the war
revenue tax alone would De $500, 900.
The inheritance tax due the state OF New
York at one per cent. would be nearly
$1,5O0,0 600, and the estate would pay in
the war tax and Inheritance tax cOnsid.
erably over s., 000,0 900.
1t has been suggested that Mr.. Van
derbilt may have made deeds of gift to
his family in order to avoid the payment
of SO large a sum in the taxes on his eS-
tate If papers for such deeds were
drawn some time before his death and
left unrecorded a question 'might arse
as to their validity in warding off the
tax.
No information regarding such deeds
has been obtained by the officials.

new CORN PRODUCTS.
THE PLANT THE MOST VERSATILE
OF THE VEGETABLE FAMILY.
Lends Itself Readily to Many Enter
DriSeS and Is AIDING in the Estab-
Iishment of Many New
Industries.

There is a great deal more in corn
than most people imagine. Many who
ave cen fami liar with its production
and ordinary uses all of their lives asso-
ciate it in their minds only With meal,
grits, cattle feed and corn whiskey. To
such persons it may be matter Of some
establishment to know that there are,
esides the articles mentioned, more
than twenty other products of corn AID
it's plant. Science has been particularly
busy with corn during the past few
wears. and it has discovered that the
corn plant is one OF the most versatile
members of the vegetable family. 1t
lends itself readily to a number of enter
prises. add is aiding in the establishment
of many new industries. The Chicago
Tribune has made the following list of
the new products of the corn:
Mixing glucose, British gum,
CRYSTAL glucose, GRADUATED gum,
Grape sugar, Gum paste,
Anhydrous grape Corn Oil,
sugar, Corn oil cake,
Special sugar. Rubber substitute,
Pearl starch, Gluten feed
Powdered starch, Chop feed,
Refined grits, Gluten meal,
Flourine. Corn germ.
Dextrine,
In addition to this should be mentions
ed cellulose, the new packing for the

ed in large and increasing quantities
from the pth Of the corn stalk, and a
new absorbent for nitro glycerine and
other high explosives, also pith prod>
uct. Hundreds of thousands of gallons
of distilled spirits, made from corn, are
being used in the manufacture of smoke
less powder, and the consumption of
this article in the powder hous SEES is like
" to increase during the next few years.
TIE American navy department is now
building a great smckeless powder
plant, which will run up the demand by
thousands of gallons.
Practically every particle of the corn
plant. from root to tassel is manufacture
ed into some useful product. No part of
the ear, from the shuck and the skin OF
the grain to the cob itself, escapes the
manufacturer. OF the most important
of the new discoveries, and one which
may have a great deal of influence upon
certain markets. is the rubber subSti-
tutc IL is predicted that this article
will soon be used in the manufacture of
all rubber goods. It can be produced,
the inventors claim, for SIX cents
pound, and in connection with Para
rubber in equal parts can be used IN all
classes of rubber manufactures.
When these new uses for corn are con-
sdered in connection with the old uses
and the demand in the old lines is grow
ing greater every year-it will be seen
that there is a very good prospect for
the price of corn to remain strong, not
withstanding the harvesting of few
record breaking crops.-- Savannah News.

Strong Pulls.

The shell-less limpet pulls 1884 times
it's own weight when in the air, and
about double when measured in the
water. Fleas pull 1,493 times their own
dead weight. The Mediterranean cock
lie, Venus verrucosa, can exert pulling
power equal to 2,071 times the weight
of its own body. So great Is the power
possessed by the oyster that to open it
force equal 1,3195 times the weight
of its shell-less body is required. II
the human being possessed strength as
great in proportion as that of these
shell-ash, the average man would be
able to lift the enormous weight of
2,976,O00 pounds, pulling in the same
degree as a limpet. And If the man
pulled in the same proportionate de-
gree as the cookie he would sustain a
weight of no less than 3,1O6, 500 pounds.
