than sgo,oooooo to the cotton growers OF

than 2o,ooOooo to the cotton growers OF
America.
In February James T. Fuller OF Mem
phie, Tenn. made up his mind he could
improve on the methods OF baling cotton
then In use.
Today There stands In an Office at No.
1876 Liberty street, the original working
method OF machine which, good Judges
say, will revolutlonize the preparation OF
cotton for the market to as great an ex-
ten as aid the cotton gin.
1t is a new cotton compress. the inven-
ton of James L, Fuller of Memphis, whose
father, L. T. Fuller, runs a hardware store
in Calvert, Texas. Mr.. Fuller claims Won
derful things In the way Of saving of
waste and space by his machine. Mr..
Fuller says:
"The density OF the Fuller bale will be
40 pounds per cubic foot or it may be
made, II necessary, TO density OF 30
pounds.
"The maritime regulations at New Or.
leans and Galveston require density Oh
% l-2 pounds per cubic foot, and pc
lieve, have new been raiseI TO 90 pounds,
though perhaps the actual loading density
OF the cotton is 80 pounds per cubic foot
"One railroad car will carry twice as
much Of the Fuller round bales as IL eau
Of the ordinary square bales. =
The new compress turns out It's product
in the shape OF a neat round bale, even
in density throughout, and easy to brenk
o~n or sample Young Fuller's first
model was a success. and the result Of
his five months tabor will be ready TO
put upon the market this fall. 1t has
come TO the notice Of eminent fnanciers
and company Is being formed with mil
lions In It's treasury to build these presses
fast enough to supply the demand which
has already arisen from cotton growers
and handlers who hive seen the monei
at work.
Heretofore there las been an enormous
waste In getting the cotton from the neid
to The factory. A tsre Of per cent has
been regularly deducted on every bale
shipped. This meant loss OF thirty
pounds on the regulation 800 pound naie,
and at cents pound there was loss
OF $3.50.

CUNNINGHAM FOR GOVERNOR.
The Doctor VIII Try to Succeed
Johnston of Alabama.

Johnston of AInbnmn.
Special to The Post.)
Birmingham, Ala, July S0.-Dr. r. NJ
Cunningham, president of the State senate,
who is regarded as probable candidate
for governor, In an interview today, is
quoted as saying.
Il am not a candidate at this time for
from a sense of duty to my party or in
vindication OF some principle. issue or
policy, and at the instance of sufficient
number of supporters to convince me that
they want me to lead.
AS to his platform, DR.. Cunningham says
If he announces on State matters he will
stand by his Legislative record, and re-
garding the National policy he is for the
Chicago platform and Bryan. He is against
straddling. and prefers to face issues
squarely, and If need be. go down in hon
orable defeat. Regarding the whisky dis
pensary issue, which he supported in the
last legislature, DR.. Cunningham believes
in letting each community determine for
itself how it wants its liquor traffic regu-
lated.
The doctor took occasion to speak kind
word for Governor Johnston which poll
ticians can point out, gives additional color
to the report that Cunningham is fishing
for Johnston's friendship and support be-
fore announcing for governor, and that a
deal to that end is now on between the
doctor and the governor. That Cunningham
will announce for governor is regarded as
practically sure, but he first wants to keep
down the Johnston third term movement
il possible.

Indianapolis. July 27.-The conference
between w. J. Bryan and the leading In

night was continued until long after mid
night, and early this morning there was
another assembling In his room. Those

abandonment OF free silver by the demo-

sands OF democratic votes to the populists
in Ohio, Kentucky. Illinois, Wisconsin and
many OF the Southern States, and that IL
would make doubtful many States that he
regards as certainly democratic with that

opposition to expansion would be made
prominent In the coming campaign. and
