companys office and said 10 them:
"from now on 1 shall devote my
time, my money and my God given
earnings to fighting the trusts which
are throwing their tentacles like a
mighty octopus about the business
ct his country"
The tccasion was the formal an
ucuucement that the great Liggett
Il Meyers company could no longer
resist the onslaughts Of the nam
moth tobacco trust, and had been
forced to surrender it.
Ut would not have been forced to
give Up it's independence, however,

are some OF the prices paid, and the
Present appraisement Of the prop.

Uncle Sam paid $500 900 for the

ment is fair one it shows that the
country has been fearfully robbed
II 1t Is too low it shows an opening
Tor another tremendous robbery for
the government favorites, who will
buy the vessels. Uncle Sam catches
it a comm and a goin'. He is cheat
ed on every hand. 1t would be very
interesting if we could find out how
much Abner Mckinley, the brother
OF the President, has made out of
these nice little financial transac-
tons. He was as poor as poverty
when this administration came into
power, and he is rapidly elm bling to
the rank of millionaire. The peo-
pie have been robbed in all their
purchases. They will be robbed
again in all their sales. The soldiers
have been defrauded in their raticns,
they have been fed on spoiled meat,
they have been dressed in shoddy
clothing, they have been compelled
to wear paper soled shoes, they have
died from Inattention and have per-
ished from carelessness and incom-
potency and any man or newspaper
that refers to these things is a cop
perhead, traitor and disloyal to
the country.

Test of the Roundup Cotton Ba'e in
New England Mile.
Mr.. VIM. G.. Lowering, q leading
New England Cotton manufactures
savs:-
The Roundup bale of the Ameri-
eau Cotton Company continues to
win favor with the manufacturers OF
Nv England, as we'll as with the
spjuners of Europe. You can readily
understand why this she uld be SO,
in view of the saving, and OF the fact
that after making a very thorough
Investigation in one of my mills last
summer / found that the average
strain of yarn spun from this bale
is about % per cent. greater than
the strength of the yarn spun from
the old bale"

ROUNDlAP COTTON BALES.
TO SATISFY THE DEMAND THE EN-
TIRE CROP WILL EVENTUALLY BE
SD BALED

For once the cotton planter has an
ally among the great corporations. For
years the cotton tie king, the bagging
combine and the compress people have
all lived off the cotton grower. There
was no wa, to fight them and SO they
grew rich on their enormous profits,
which the farmers had to pay. Now,
the American Cotton Company, with
it's Roundup bale is in the field aud it
is so revOlutiOnizing the cotton hand
ling business that many of the old eX-
penses are necessarily wiped out. The
farmers must inevitably get a larger
share of this saving, but the old COM
press people and bagging and tie trust
are raising a great cOmmOtiOn against
the American Cotton Company as
though they had always been the
friends of the farmer. UnfOr. unately
for them they never played the friend
ly act before and now the farmers
doubt the sincerity of their repent
ance.
The Roundup bale is the trade mark
name give by the American Cotton
Company to it's round bale to distin-
guished it from all other bales. The
cottor mills of New England and of
Europe are eager buyers of this bale
because as compared Will Ill JULIET
bales it has m: ny advantages covered
by broad patents, which greatly lesseD
the cost of manufacture to the mill.
This Roundup 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
w in this Roundup form. Mr.. VIM
G. Lowering, ore Of the most distin'
guished cottOn.mill men of New Eng.
land says:
81 do not hesitate to say that the
J time is coming when the cotton man
| ufacturers all over the world will In
sist that their cotton shall be delivered
to them in the form Of q ROundlaI
