ROUNDLAP COTTON BALES.
To Satisfy the Demand the Entire Crop will
Eventually be SO Raled


Eventually be so Raled.
For once the cotton planter has an ally
among the great corporations. For years
the cotton tie ring, the bagging combine
ana the compress people have all lived off
the cotton grower. There was no way to
light them and SO they grew rich on their
enormous profits, which the farmers had
to pay. Now the American Cotton Com
pany with its roundlap bale is liz the field
1T is 80 reolutionizing the cotton handling
business that many of the old expenses
are necessarily wiped out. The farmers
must inevitably get large share of this
saving, but the old compress people and
the bagging and tie trust are raising a
great commotion against the American
Cotton Company as though they had al
ways been the friends of the farmer. I'm
Fortunately for them they never played
the friendly act before and now the farm
ers doubt the sincerity OF their repen-
lance.
The Roundup bale is the trade mark
name given by the American Cotton Com
pany to its round bale to distinguish 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 advsn-
tages covered by broad patents, which
greatly lessen the cost of manufacture
to the mill. The Roundlap bale elimi-
mates two or three processes in manu-
featuring 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
10 this Roundup form. Mr.. VIM. G.
Lowering, one of the most distinguished
cotton mill men OF New England says:-
Il do not hesitate to say that the time is
coming when the cotton manufacturers
all over the world will insist that their
cotton shall be delivered to them in the
form Of Roundup BALE,

We received a pleasant visit this
morning from MIR Jos. j. Waltz, the
President of the Gulf, louisiana &
Great Northern Railway Company.
Mr.. Waltz is looking well after his
trip north, and seems to be in fine
spirits as usual. He informed us
that the Wheeler & Body construc-
tion company having failed to COM
ply with their contract in every re-
spect, that the railway company has
notified tire construction Co. that
the contract is void and no longer in
force. The railway company has
decided to construct and equip the
new road under it's own management
and with it's own means. The COM
pany will sublet the grading, and has
already made arrangements for the
steel rails and bridging. Mr.. Waltz
thinks that he will be able to push
matter along the line of the road
inside OF three weeks iron this date.
While in Philadelphia Mr.. Waltz turn
ed over the mortgage of the railway
company, to the trust company,
which will be sent to the clerks office
here in a few days by the officers of
the trust company for recordation.
The United States revenue stamps
placed on this mortgage cost the rail-
way company So, O24 SO. This mort
gage will have to be recorded in all
the parishes through which the road
will run, but revenue stamps are not
needed for any but the original.
When the original arrives here and is
recorded, copies of the mortgage will
be printed and sent to the clerks of
the other parishes for recordation.
Our citizens can rest assured that
every legitimate debt contracted in
doing the work that has already been
done on the line of the projected road
will be paid Mr.. Waitz's company
does not intend beat a single citizen
out OF a cent, but of course the CON-
pany is not responsible for individual
debts contracted by parties, in which

The Great DrOuths of Ancient
and Modern History.

anu MODERN History.
Europe had her seasons of drought
before ours, neither of them of ruin
Gus severity, though, as usual, good
deal OF complaint and apprehension
OF injury to crops attended them
They were nothing in comparison
with the droughts of which history
makes mention, some of which have
lately been recited by the ''XIXieme
Steele" showing what degree of arid
ity the earth can sustain and still
preserve it's living generations, saws
the New York Tribune:
In 627 all the springs of Germany
and France dried up and great multi
tudes everywhere persisted of thirst;
In $40 and 923 work had to be sus-
pended in the fields, and the vegeta-
ton burned up, as if it had been
shriveled by fire. In 1000 the rivers
ran dry, the fish putrefed, and a
plague ensued which swept off multi
tudes. In 1922 men and cattle that
ventured into the sun fell down and
persisted. In 1922 not only did the
rivers dry up, but the ground was
baked to the hardness of stone, and
divided in assures like dried CLAW.
The Rhine ran to a rivulet. In l139
Italy was visited by destroying heat
and all her harvests were ruined.
During the battle of Bella, in 1850.
more fell under the stroke of the suns
rays than before the arrows and ar
balests of the combatants. In l3O3
and 1904 the Rhine, Seine and Loire
ran dry. In 1915 the heat extended
over Europe, and in 1926 Scotland
suffered great loss of life in men and
cattle. The years 17O5 and 171S
were OF extraordinary severity. In
the latter the shops were closed, the
theatres did not open during the
summer and not drop of rain fell in
six months. In 1853 the thermome-
terrose to lis degrees. In I779 and
1893 vegetables were burned up and
fruit dried up on the trees. The fur
nlture and woodwork in houses crack
ed and split up, and meat spoiled in
an hour. In 1922 protracted hea.
was accompanied by storms and
earthquakes, and during the drought
legions OF mice overran Alsace and
Lorraine, committing incalculable
damage. In 1922 the heat brought
about cholera in France, and more
than 10000 persisted. In 1916 the
thermometer registered 125 degrees
in the shade. The summers of 1883. /
1860, 1869, 1870, and 1874, though |
excessively hot, were not attended by
any disaster.
10 these European records may be
added the extraordinary drought in
two years ago, by far the
Severest experienced since that coun-
try became known to history, when
the land seemed parched to desert,
cattle persisted in multitudes, domes-
tic fowl and wild birds fell off their
perches dead, the thermometer rose
to 40, and the very existence of the
population was put in peril.
America has known some pretty Sc
we're irritations of the sort, but none
TO bear a comparison with those
which the "XIXieme Sciecle" has thus
recalled. The one to which the pres
mt rains are bringing relief extended
5ver large area, threatening more
damage THANH it hasactually wrought,
put was not severer than common,
md after a free rainfall the repining
armers and market gardeners will
Orget all about it.

The wants Of the Faith Curists have
certainly been supplied in this handsome
structure. 1t Is a very neat building,
complete even to the smallest detail. Not

The ANGELUS.
Origin Of a Beautiful Catholic
Custom That Prevails
the World Over.
HAS LASTED FOUR CENTURIES
St John de Capistian's Craft
tude For Timely AID
Among the Churches
has LASTED FOUR CENTURIES

The custom of ringing the Angelus bell
in the middle Of the day is due In part
TO a remarkable event, says the New Zea-
land Tablet In 1456 the city of Bel
grade, on the Danube, on the frontier Of
Turkey. was besieged by the Turks, who
kept battering its walls for four months
without raj The Sultan, desperate at
seeing so many efforts remain unfruitful,
resolved to make d general assault. For
t~wenty-four hours they fought with un-
equalled fury. and those who defended
the city were exhausted and overcome by
a long and obstinate resistance. At that
moment there was seen advancing a pious
and courageous Franciscan, st. John de
Capistran. He presented himself to the
soldiers, crucifx in hand, and prayed God
and the Blessed Virgin to come to their
assistance. This was his prayer: Alas!
powerful Queen of Heaven, wilt thou
tbandon thy children to the fury of the
inidels. who never cease to insult and
outrage thy Divine Son? Where is now
the God Of the christians?" And pray
ing thus he shed a torrent of tears. AMI
mated by the prayers and tears of the
holy man, he Christians darted with
prodigious impetuosity on the Turks, who
were already penetrating into the city,
massacred several thousand of them and
put the rest to flight. This victory, as
glorious as 1t was unexpected, could only
be attributed I'd the intercession of Mary.
At the news of this success Pope Caiixtus
III. ordained that in all churches of
Christendom solemn thanksgiving should
be made to God and the Blessed Virgin.
To perpetuate forever the memory Of this
great benefit and to infame more and
more the courage of Christians. the same
Pope ordained that in all Catholic oun
tries the bell should be rung for the
recitation of the Angelus between 2 and 8
o'clock in the afternoon, the time when
the victory of Belgrade had been OBJ
tanned over the Turks. In after times
the signal was transferred to the hour of
noon, the better to divide the day,
the memory of the miraculous protection
of the Blessed Virgin was ever associated
with it
