land offered the following resolu-
tions in regard to the packing OF
cotton which were adopted:
Whereas, there is a mighty
contest for the supremacy Of the

trust ever aimed at the cotton
interest, therefore be it
Resolved 1sf, That to secure
the thorough Cooperation OF the
exporters and congresses OF the
country in our light to maintain
the square bale as the standard,
we will, who have not done so,
change our presses to q UNIFORM
standard size as requested by the
cotton trade, 24x54
Resolved 2nd, That every
farmer 10 Marlboro county pledge
L-mseif net - have bale packed
on the round bale presses as
they ere thus aiding and abettlpg
the cause We are combating.
Resolved 3ro, That va will do
all in our power to induce all
other parties to act with us in
this fight for our very existence,
and win not let up until the round
bale outfits are removed.

a Wonderful Acrobatic Equestrienne with

One OF the greatest difficulties

l. Her routine or repertoire Of
lfeats and evolutions is SO varied
that she al completely change
her act at every performance for
days at p time. In all that she
docs there is nsught that is com
nonplace. She scorns the ordina-
ry and abhors the conventional.
In the vernacular she begins where
theeothers leave off, and ends in
an unapproachable achievement OF
acrobatlc agility that Is at once
alphabetically unattainable and

She is with The Great Wallace

These orunmers for Other
markets cite as al arguments IN
their favor that some leading
farmer in the neighborhood has
hauled his tobacco to other
markets and was paid a big price,
(which was done simply for ad-
I%vertisiDg purposes. The fabulous
figures quoted are misleading,
and in some instances they induce
the farmer to haul his tobacco
for miles and miles only to be
disappointed when his product
is sold. Such was the case with
Mr.. Gideon G~rantham, of this
bounty, who shipped seven hogs
heads of his best tobacco to Wills
'son last week and received only
IN average OF 6 cents, while one
III as near neighbors sent a
similar amount to Goldshoro, the
quality beng not SO good, and
received al average of z cents.

dent himself and admits that he
was induced to carry his tobacco

Of high prices which had bean
circulated in his neighborhood.

deeply regretted the impending war,
which he had done his utmost to avoid.
he wonders that Queen Victoria never
answered the letter he addressed to her
on the situation.
I notice everywhere a general devotion
to the queen and a pathetic belief that
she will stop the war. General Joubess
still believes in a South African confed-
eracy under English protectorate, and at
tributes the present crisis to Cecil Rhodes
and Mr.. Chamberlain. His last words to
me were: i leave it now to God 1t may
