KENTUCKY REPUBLICANS
They Nominate a state Ticket-TavIor
Put In Nomination and by
His Two Opponents

Lexington, KY, July 13.-The repub-
lican state convention adjourned to-
night after being in continuous session
since 9 o'clock a. m. What was called
the Deboe-Taylor slate for the most
part was ratified. Before the conven-
ton assembled most of the delegates
were for Taylor for governor, and when
the nomination for governor was reach
ed, about all of them were for Taylor.
In the contests for minor places there
was a vociferous flow of Kentucky or
atory. In the contest for attorney gen.
eral there were forty-seven speeches by
actual count and during the day there
were over 300 speeches. After the pre-
sentation speech for each candidate
there was a multitude of ~seconding
speeches.
The presentation of Taylor's name by
his leading opponent, Colonel S. H.
Stone, and the seconding of the same
by Judge Pratt, his other opponent, was
d dramatic scene, but the most exciting
time of the convention was during the
contest for attorney general. The Tay-
Tor men who a been making the race
for that nomination objected to being
Side-tracked by one who had failed Of
another nomination and they made an
aggressive fight. Senator Deboe, ZEN
eral Taylor and their close friends were
active workers in the hall during he
balloting for attorney general. They
wanted Judge Pratt on the ticket and
they finally nominated him by an over
Whelming majority.

Grand Jury Fakes Up the MoIfneux
Case

New York, July 13.-The case of
Roland B.. Molineux, charged with the
murder of Mrs. Katherine J. Adams
was presented today to the grand jury
of New York county, despite the fact
that District Attorney Gardiner and his
assistant, James w. Osborne. who have
charge of the case declared that it
would not be formally submitted before
tomorrow. 1t is understood that the
grand jury decided not to wait to suit
the convenience of the district attor-
ney's Office, and, summoned the wit
nesses On disputed handwriting en-
gagged on both the side Of the prose-
cution and the defence. The experts,
David N. Carvalho, for the defense and
William J. Kinsley for the prosecution,
were summoned before the jury. The
letters signed III. C. Barnet" from the
private letter box in West Fortyvsec-
ond street, and the letters signed III.
c. Cornish" sent from the private box
at 1910 Broadway and he exhibits
bearing the alleged signature Of Roland
B. Molineux sent from Molineux's Office
in Newark, N. j., were submitted to
the experts on chirography.

SQUARE BALE.

If these figures are correct there is
absolutely no advantage to the pro-
Queer in putting his cotton in Round
shapes. If there is any economy in
the Round bale it evidently goes into
the pocket of some one else and not to
the producer. Allow me now to enum-
crate some of the Disadvantages:
Messrs. Inman & Co.'s offer to pay
As points more for Round than Square
cotton of same grade may or may not
result in he seller receiving As cents
per 100 pounds more than the highest
market price, as often, I might say fire.
quently, such firms as the Rails, NC
Faddens, and even smaller concerns
have better limits in certain markets
than MeSsrs. Inman e Co. have.
In such cases the owner of the cot
ton might find himself forced to take
say IS or possibly as little as 80 points
over the highest market price for
Square cotton of same grade which
would, of course, cause him a loss.
Might there not come a question be-
tween the seller and Inman e Co.'S
buyer as to the grade of the Round cot
ton? Who is to settle this? Again,
the southern mill demand already enor-
nous, and growing every year, acts as
a stimulus to all markets in the At
lantic states, and if this demand does
not take compressed cotton in any
shape the owner of Round cotton loses
important competition.
This offer to pay As cents per 100
pounds more for Round than Square
cotton of same grade exists today and
is good, we understand, until Sept. LIST,
1900.
There are men of as much ability,
practical sense, experience and fair
dealing as our neighbors Of the Round
Bale Company, who state unqualifiedly,
that so soo as all the square cotton is
packed in the uniform shape of 54x24
| inches, there will be no advantage in
freight, insurance or any other condi-
| ton in favor of the Round bale over
the Standard Square bale.
Such being the case how then will
Messrs. Inman & Co., or any other
firm find it possible to pay more for
Round bales.
The question must occur to the pro-
ducer, it is to his intertst to assist by
his patronage the adoption Of a new
method of bailing his product, which
is patented and on which he must al
ways pay a royalty Of $1.OO per 500
pounds, or had he not better improve
! his present methods and get the same
result, still using a Square press which
is on the market at a fair price to any
buyer. L. l.. FLEMING.

The country which surrounds the
Mediterranean sea was once the garden
of the earth. 1t has long been in a
state of decadence commercially and
agriculturally as well as otherwise, and
parts Of it verge upon the condition of
a desert. The physical condition OF
North Carolina does not perhaps sub
ject u to the possibility of such wide
spread devastation from overlooking
rivers as the greater size Of the rivers
in Texas and the more plain like sur
face of the land make possible in the
latter state. But it is certain that our
streams run dryer in the summer and
more t%orrential in the winter than for
