THE PEN MATTRESS FACTORY.

The management of the penitentiary
has great hopes of the newlyestablished
mattress factory. The members of the
Executive Board think it will ultimately
prove source of considerable income,
and that nearly all this income will be
clear profit. And this, by reason of the
fact that the labor engaged in making
mattresses is such as has not hereto
fore been employed at any other work,
being cripples or invalids. Or the
twenty men and women now making
mattresses. only one is a strong, able
bodied man.

POINT OF VIEW.

'.The trial of Weathers for selling
spoiled meat i'm the market ought TO
have a good effect" said prominent
attorney yesterday. There is too much
meat of that kind sold at such places.
I've more than once bought meat in the
market during the summer months that
had to be thrown away. And Weathers
is not the only man that has been guilty
of selling it. Why once on trial
made one of the most prominent meat
dealers now doing business in the market
house acknowledged that he used sort
of embalming fluid, IL chemical prepara-
ton to keep his meat from spelling on
his hands"
According to the Charlotte Observer,
Messrs. MacRae and Day, the attorneys
of the Seaboard Air Line, who recently
lost the refractory damage suit of $20,-
600, will ask the Supreme court to re
instate them on the ground that the
forty days given them to file the case on
appeal meant fifty days.
John Weathers, a hard working, in
dustrious man, who keeps stall in the
market. has been aITaigned before our
mayor" said Mr.. Blake, county surrey
or yesterday. 'He is charged with selling
tainted beef. Now we have it from the
highest and most honorable man in the
nation that tainted beef is wholesome,
and the proper thing upon which to feed
our soldier boys, it making them healthy,
brave and strong. Our good, fatherly,
killd-hearted President, Mckinley, en-
dorses this honorable official in all he
says and does in the premises by keep
ing him i'm office. Mr.. Weathers, no
doubt. having great respect for the good
judgment and honesty of these gentle
men. thought it not only legitimate but
actually praiseworthy in him to emulate
such eminent example in high places by
selling to "a coon," (wh,. by thu way. is

boys. Now Weathers stands indicted

ROUNDLAP COTTON BALES.
To Satisfy the Demand the Entire
Crop will Eventually be so Baled.

To Satisfy the Demand the Entire
Crop will Eventually be so Baled.
For once the cotton planter has an
ally among the great corporations. For
years the cotton tie ring, the bagging
combine and the compress people have
all lived off the cotton grower. There
was no way to fight them and so they
grew rich on their enormous profits.
which the farmers had to pay. Now the
American Cotton Company with its
Roundup bale is in the field and it is
so revolutionizing the cotton handling
business that many of the old expenses
are necessarily wiped out. The farmers
must inevitably get a large share OF this
saving but the old compress people
and the bagging and tie trust are rails
ing Il rcent commotion against the
American Cotton Company az though
they had always been the friends of the
farmer. Unfortunately for them they
never played the friendly act before
and now the farmers doubt the sin
oerity of their repentance.
The Roundup bale is the trade mark
name given by the American Cotton
Company to its round bale to distn-
guish it from all other bales. The
cotton mills of New England and of
Europe are eager buyers of this bale
because as compared with all other
bales it has many advantages covered
by broad patents, which greatly lessen
the cost of manufacture to the mill.
This Roundlap bale eliminates two or
three processes in manufacturing and
as the cotton mills of the world are
willing to pay more for this cotton
than any other. it naturally follows
that to secure the highest prices all
Southern cotton must in time be put
up in this Roundlap form. Mr.. VIM. c.
Lowering, one of the most distinguished
cotton mills men of New England says:
Il do not hesitate to say that the
time is coming when the cotton manu-
facturers all over the world will insist
that their cotton shall be delivered to
them i'm the form of a Roundup bale" "

IF THEY DO.

If the rains since last Friday
teach any thing they teach this
lesson. Oats should always be
stacked as soon as harvested.
TO thresh them thew must be
pitched on 4 wagon and hauled
to a given point any way, so
there is no loss in the hauling.
The only work which can pos.
sibly be lost is the stacking,
but even then there can be very
little for it takes less extra
hands to do the threshing and
last but not least, your oats are
safe. The three last rains have
ruined thousands of bushels of
oats and damaged the straw in
the shocks. STACK your grain,
then the crops you have raised
are safe.
