COTTON Is WORTH MORE.
How the Farmer is Benefited by
the ROundlap Bale.

The Atlanta Constitution,
which recently published an elap-
crate report ON the Ruundlap bale
of the American Cotton Company +,
IN discussing the value OF the new
system OF cotton handling, says:
lU Is quite clear that, IN oruer to
raise the price which should 20
to the farmer tor his cotton, the
commercial expenses IN handIug
it must be reduced.
Under present conditions, the
amount of money required to
handle the crop, from the gin to
the factory platform, has gruwn
out of all proportion, so that its
commercial handling consumed
the profit which should have gone
to the grower. Viewed from this
standpoint, therefore, every move.
ment which delivers the farmers s
cotton with least expense to the
manufacture must be regarded
as Of the widest public interest.
The new methods of round bal.
ing are on this line, doing away
with much of the clumsiness aud
extravaganza of the old system
and substituting one which can
make OF every cotton gin com
press as well. The claims of the
round bale advocates show that
we have entered upon an era Of
invention which means much TO
the farmer, and much therefore,
to the country.

THE MEETING OF THE STATE
ALLIANCE.

The fifth annual session OF the
State Alliance was held in the
city of Columbia last week. The
proceedings as given to the pub
lie press are printed elsewhere in
these columns.
The attendance, the interest
manifested in the work of the
organization in the business of
the State Exchange in the pub
lication of the Alliance organ,
The Cotton Plant, were all sub
jects of much interest to all the
delegates who had the true in
terests of the Alliance at heart,
and we were all with one accord
much gratified at the success of
the meeting and received much
encouragement from the results
developed during the session. We
have never seen the "doubting
Thomas so completely routed.
There were few such who came
up to the funeral of the Alliance,
and they "never expected to see
another meeting of the State AL
liance;' they wanted tie Tx
change funds called in and re
turned to the original contrib
utors." The whole thing was
gone; they had come up "to bury
Caesar, not to praise him." Twas
not that they loved Caesar less
(the Alliance) but they loved
their own selfish little schemes
and plans more, and for this they
would destroy the work of years
that many have done for the rank
and file of the organization.
The Alliance organization is in
better shape than it has been in
the past five years. 1t is true
not as much money was paid in
dues as might have been ex-
pected, but there was reason
for that which will be fully ex-
planned in these columns before
another year rolls around.
The Alliance organ, The Cot
ton Plant, was freely discussed.
Col. Jas. A. Hoyt, the publisher,
appeared before the body and
made a statement of the business
condition and prospects OF the
paper. His report showed the
paper IN much better shape than
it was just twelve months ago :;
all the old claims for subscrip.
ton credits had been adjusted ::
all back Indebtedness wiped out,
and only bona fde subscribers
were now retained on the books.
As the saying goes, a prominent
Allianccman in his county "lct
the cat out Of the bam' when be
said : "Om people in many in
stances think the paper is on il,
last legs; it has been shifted
about so in the last few years
that many think it viii not be
able to continue, and therefore
they don't pay up and they don't
Lancaster enterprise. [volume] (Lancaster, S.C.) 1891-1905, 1899-08-09
subscribe" We assured

that all who thought like him
were badly mistaken; the paper
is now over it's worst troubles,
and will be continued if there is
any proper ecouragement given
the publisher. Don't keep him
out of what you are due him, but
pay that amount and also renew,
and ask your neighbor to do like
wise, and we will give you a
paper better worth one dollar
than any paper you receive at
your fireside. SO much for The
Cotton Plant; take it and pay
for it, and stop reading the copy
your neighbor has paid for.
The business of the State Ex-
change was very thoroughly dis
cussed, and of course it was very
gratifying to us that as the busl-
ness department of the organiza.
ton it was most heartily endorsed
by all but few instructed dele.
gates. The overwhelming consen
sus of opinion was that we must
have some business department ;
that the Exchange had done a
good work and we ought to stand
by it, and it was done, both by
the State Alliance and the Coun
ty Trustee Stockholders. The in
vestment of the State Exchange
funds in the capital stock of the
Farmers & Mechanics Bank vas
fully discussed, and after the del
egates were shown that the mon
ey was perfectly safe and prop
erly invested by the action of,
first, the sub.Alliances; then the
county alliances, and finally the
unanimous action of the County
Trustee Stockholders, the State
Alliance declined to ask that the
money be withdrawn from the
bank also the County Stockhold.

jority to consider the question OF

We sum up the result of the
State Alliance as developing the

alliance is not dead, neither does
it sleep.

A STORMY SCENE.
When oliver Cromwell PeremptOrily

When oliver Cromwell Peremptorily
Dissolved the Long Parliament.
Sir Peter Wentworth was the only man
who dared to rise amid Cromwell S tempest
of wrath, says Samuel Harden Church in
The Atlantic. He said that this was the
first time he had ever heard such unbe-
coming language givon TO the parliament
and that it was the more horrid in that it
came from their servant-their servant
whom they had so highly trusted and
obliged.
But when Wentworth had gone thus
far, Cromwell clappod on his hat and in
terrupted him with, Come, come, we
have had enough of this" He walked
furiously up and down the floor. Il will
put an end to your prating, " he cried in a
high voice. He stamped his feet upon the
floor. No man had ever seen the like of
such rage in n parliament before. at is
not fit that you should sit here any longer.
You are no parliament l say you are no

companions of his battles entered with

further orders.

They began to go out. There was no

An Important "Don't.v

One Of the don ts' with which it would
be well to impress society at large is,
Don't tell person that she is not look
ing well "
The sentence, "My dear, you are look
ing very badly today" will cast a damper
over the most hilarious spirit. We may
as well be frank and acknowledge that in
90 cases out of 100 to look i'll is to look
plain. The lusterless eyes, the sallow
checks and the pallid lips are not compati-
bic with beauty and viyacity of expression.
Each Of us has her little spark of vanity
that makes her writhe at the knowledge
that she is not at her best in appearance
as in feeling. And if one has tried to con-
ceal from others the fact that she is not
quite up to the usual mark of health sho
feels that her efforts are vain. And, worst
of all, if ono is bravely fighting with a
genuine illness the consciousness that the
disease has made such inroads that the
casual observer notices the change in one s
appearance awakens a sensation Of fear
and depression that is detrimental to
health. th.-Harper's Bazar

gates already elected TO the Republic
can state convention and to the Re-
publicans of Pennsylvania generally.
Mr.. Adams, they say, needs no intro
duction to his fellow citizens of the
Quaker City. and there is every reason
to believe that when the primary cleo
tion shall take place in that city he
will get large majority of the dele
gates. if not a solid Philadelphia del
egation to the Republican state con-
vention. He is not only recognized as
a popular member of the bar, but also
as one of the most public spirited cit
liens. He has been prominent figure
on several citizens committees, having
charge of patriotic demonstrations re-
Gently held in Philadelphia. He has
host of friends among leading Repub-
licans who wish TO go as delegates to
the convention in his interest. The
nomination for the superior court
Judge is conceded to Philadelphia, and,
as it is understood Justice Beeber Will
not be a candidate to succeed himself,
Counsellor Adams may have no oppo-
sition in the state convention.
The name of j. Hay Brown, of Lam
caster, has lately been most prominent
ly mentioned for the Republican nomi-
nation for the supreme court.
Should the nomination for treasurer
go to the west, with Philadelphia get
ting the superior court nomination,
Lancaster would, geographically at
least, have some claim for the third
place on the Republican state ticket.
Lawyer Brown refused an appointment
to the presidency of the supreme cou!l
from Governor Hastings, and 1t is not
positively known that he would even
now consent TO become candidate for
the supreme bench. Meanwhile the
friends of Judge William d. Porter OF
Allegheny, Judge Robert w. Archibald
of Lackawanna, Judge Thomas A. Nor
rison of Mexican, Judge Samuel II. Mil
Ter of Mercer and Judge William ID.
Wallace of LuZerno are all closely
watching the situation, and some OF
them are doing more-they are active
" canvassing for delegates in the in
terest of their respective favorites.
With the many elements of doubt
involved in the situation it is impossi-
BILE to predict with any degree of GER
tainty the outcome of the state con-
vention as regards the supreme court.
Much may happen before the conven-
tion date to change the complexion OF
