ton business from the producer to the
manufactures"
Mr.. Hanson had upon his desk several
samples Of the round bales, showing in
dlminutive form the package as turned
out by the various processes. The sample
turned out by the American Cotton Press
Company is perfect cylinder so hard that
considerable pressure would be required
TO make an impression upon it. 1t is
wrapped only in cotton bagging, without
Irvine or tires The Lowry Company 5
sample is similar to that of the American
Press Company except that the cotton
baSging, which covers it, is gathered IN
pickering strings at each end. Some idea
of the density of these bales, or the hard
ness with which they are packed can be
gathered from the statement that 1t Is
impossible to extract a satisfactory sam
pie. This is one of the arguments used
against these bales. It is also claimed
that the extreme density Injuries the sta
pie.
1t is claimed on the other hand, that
there is great saving to the producers in
the expenses of wrapping, COMPRISING.
freight and middiemen's charges, as the
companies which press the bales propose
to handle them direct to the manufactu-
rers. 1t is also claimed as a virtue for the
new-style bales that cotton bagging Is
used. thus providing a market for many
million yards of American manufacture
and increasing the market for the sta
pie. Should the round bale prevail the
producers would have the satisfaction of
knowing that both the jute bagging and
the cotton tie trusts had been knocked
out. incidentally, 1t is claimed, they
might be building up several other trusts
more dangerous to their interests than
the two Just mentioned.

SUPERIOR COURT CASES.
BOurquin Case Again Up in Recetv-
ership Proceedings.

Judge Falligant returned yesterday from
Charleston where he attended the reunion
of the Confederate Veterans and presided
in the Superior Court.
Polgnac Bourquin petitioned the court
for the appointment of a receiver for lot
l5 Elliott ward, which was recently award
ed him by jury in the Superior Court in
a suit against his father, G.. Bourquin,
for the possession of this and other prop
erty. THE petition recites the history of
the litigation and states that Gugie Bour-
uuin and his son, Guillemain Bourquin. are
occupying the lot in question as a resi-
dence without paying any rent therefor and
that taxes have been allowed to accumu-
late against the property. He asks that
a receiver be appointed to collect the rents
and apply them to the reduction of the
tax executions now standing against the
property. The hearing was fixed for May
20 by the court.
James Singleton was ruled for contempt
for falling to pay his wife, Nora Single
ton, 81 a week alimony as recently agreed
upon in the court.
An order was granted for the distribu-
ton of funds from the sale of the stock of
w. F. Gilbert the amount in the hands
of the sheriff being $2l5.
The suit of H. Miller versus ]. White,
appeal from a justice court, was dismissed
on account Of the non-appearance of the
plaintiff.
In the suit of Frances Roberts against
Dora Roberts for divorce the jury return
ed verdict for the defendant. The plain
tiff claimed that his wife had deserted him
after living with him for nineteen years.
The jury did not see the case his way,
however. An order requiring Roberts TO
pay his wife so a month alimony and $25
attorneys fees was granted.

johnson, heard from Florida
that raft had been started for
Savannah on May 10, and it is thought
the tug with it In tow should arrive to-
day.
Some ten days ago a tug was started
for Savannah from a Florida port with a
raft of piles to be used in the terminal
work. The raft was insecurity fastened
together, however, and the result was
that il went to pieces 1t is hoped better
luck may be had this time. and that the
expected raft may arrive safe and sound.
Nothing has yet been heard from the
dredge. The delay In its arrival is at
tributed to the strong adverse winds that
have prevailed. Those familiar with the
size of the dredge and the surface II Of

About AGO men, Maj. johnson says, are
now at work on the island. Many of them
are employed by the company in construc-
ting the great bank or dyke that Is to
run all around the property on the land
side to keep back the waters of high
tides or storms. The company also has
men at work in the yards, and the con-
tractor has a force employed In banking

McGOwnn's Backer Comedies That
Clean Breaks Shall BE the Rule.
The McGowan-C Cochran prize fight came
near being declared off yesterday, but
everything was satisfactorily arranged fast
night and the fight is now a so. There is
only one other point on which hitch Is
likely TO occur and that is in the selection
of a referee. a gentleman whose reputa-
ton guarantees fairness has been selected
to serve, but as ne has not yet been con-
suited about the matter the question of a
referee is still in doubt.
As stated In yesterdays Morning News
Cochrans friends We're unwilling for him
to go up against MCGOWAN under the arti-
cies which had been prepared, and 10
which Cochran's hacker had already con-
scented. These permitted striking with one
hand free Later advice influenced Coch-
ran against this, his friends holding that
MCGOWAN being much the heavier man
would have all the advantage of this style
of lighting. They insisted in case of
cfinches that there should be clean breaks
without striking. There was some misun-
Outstanding as TO whether or notthis had
been agreed TO, and last night the match
came near being declared Off AT the last
moment Mr.. Charles Levan, who is back
ing MCGOWAN, agreed to concede every
thing, and told the opposition they could
have It their own way.
Anything TO make the match 60" said
Mr.. Levan.
Consequently the rule win be clean

make a longer fight. but the spectators will
hardly object to this. There is a very live

An Excellent Combination.

The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy,
SYRUP OF FIGS, manufactured by the
CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP Co., illustrate
the value of obtaining the liquid laxa-
tive principles of plants known to be
incidentally laxative and presenting
them in the form most refreshing to the
taste and acceptable to the system. 1t
is the one perfect strengthening laxa-
tive, cleansing the system effectually,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
gently yet promptly and enabling one
to overcome habitual constipation per-
manently. Its perfect freedom from
every Objectionable quality and SUBJ
stance, and its acting on the kidneys,
liver and bowels, without weakening
or irritating them, make it the ideal
laxative.
In the process of manufacturing figs
are used, as they are pleasant to the
taste, but the medicinal qualities of the
remedy are obtained from SIENNA and
other aromatic plants, by a method
known to the CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP
Co. only. In order to get it's beneficial
effects and to avoid limitations, please
