THE TWo ,INns or coIToN nALEs

The indications are thai the efforts
which are being MADE 20 get owners of cot
ton gins, who have not already done so,
to alter their press boxes so as 10 make
a square bale that Will measure 81 inches
by "A. will be successful. With a uniform
square bale, known as the standard bale,
It is probable that there VIII be a pro-
longed contest between the standard bale
and the round bale. One great objection
to the square bale now Is its lack OF uni
formity, which makes it more costly 20
handle as freight on cars and on ships
This objection will disappear. however
Just as soon as the press boxes of all cot
ton gins are made to conform to the 81
by 24-inch standard.
Mr.. c. Menelas discusses this subject
of the standard square bale and the round
bale in an Interesting article in the June
number OF the Southern Cultiyator. AS
he sees the situation, the square bale
is bound TO hold the field. He gives sew
eral reasons for this view. One is that
the square bale is more satisfactory to
the trade, since It gives the buyer better
opportunity TO see what he is buying, and
another is that the square bale stands
better the rough handling which cotton
bale gets. 1t is well known also that
very large percentage of cotton is ex-
posed TO the weather for weeks and often
months after 1t is baled. 1t IS claimed
that cotton in square bales will stand
this exposure better than cotton in round
bales.
The chief objection which Mr.. Menelas
offers to the round bale. however, is that
the round bale presses are held by a trust
that they cannot be bought by cotton
growers or by others so that there can
be competition in making the round bale.
The cotton growers have to pay so much
per bale for having their cotton pressed
into the round bale With all of the
presses for making the square bale out
of use, the round bale trust would be
in a position 10 charge what it pleased
for making the round bale-ili other
words, the cotton growers would be in
the grasp of a mighty trust Mr.. Menelas
thinks as long as the owners of the round
bale presses refuse to sell their presses
it will be difficult for the round bale to
make much Roadway.

TILLSIAN's SUGAR REFINERY AR
TICIES.

There are some things in connection with
Mr.. Joseph Tiilman's articles relative to
the establishment of a sugar refinery in
this city-articles which are now appear
ing in the Morning News-which are not
as satisfactory as those who are interest
ed in the subject would like to have
them There are two classes of persons
who are directly interested in the refinery
project. namely, those who are thinking
of investing money in the proposed sugar
refining plant and the farmers who are
expected to supply the syrup from which
the sugar is to be made. Those who are
thinking favorably of the proposed refinery
as an investment would like to have more
definite information as to the cost of a
refining plant, the cost of making sugar
from syrup. the lowest price at which the
syrup can be delivered at the refinery at
profit to the producer, the average num-
Der of pounds of sugar which the syrup
will yield per gallon, and the probable
profit in making sugar from syrup, as
Stunning that the syrup can be obtained
for 20 cents gallon and sugar can be
sold at the present market price of that
article.
The farmers would like to know some
thing about the actual cost Of growing
an acre of cane and turning IL into syrup:
also the average yield OF syrup per acre
under the most improved methods. Mr..
Tillman has touched upon most of those
points, but the information he furnishes
is not sufficiently accurate to invite entire
confidence. Under the showing he makes
there is no Industry that would be so
profitable as making sugar from South
Georgia syrup. and there is nothing The
South Georgia farmers could raise that
would pay them half so we'll as growing
cane and making syrup for sugar re-
inery. According to Mr.. Tnlman. the av-
erage farmer could count on getting as
much as s120 from an acre gross for syrup
and the refiner would be pretty certain 20
get gross as much as So cents for the sugar
from gallon of syrup-or Is cents more
than he paid for the syrup.
Mr.. TnIman's figures may be all right.
We are not in position to dispute them,
but they seem to us to be rather extrava-
CANT. OF course, Mr.. Tillmans estimates
are general. What all parties would like
to have, however, are close estimates OBJ
tanned from authoritative sources. If 1t
can be shown that enough syrup can be
obtained to supply the demand of
large refinery that sugar from the
syrup can be made at a profit and that
the farmers can produce the syrup prof
itably. even IL the price of sugar should
drop considerably below what it is al pres
emf, the chances are that there would not
be a great deal of difficulty in raising
money to build a refinery that would con-
sumo all the syrup likely to be produced
in the territory tributary to this city.

military habit and training are warrant
that he will suppress Jew batting riots as
sternly as he suppressed the Commune,

step of Dreyfus' retrial Perhaps Gallffet

waiting for. though he is bit old for the
work that is to be DONE

Tar continues 10 flow and feathers to fly
way down East. The frequency of these
affairs looks as if everybody got a lot of
fun out of them-excepting. of course, the
victims. So far the mob have had it all
their own way, the objects of their as
saults invariably being meek and lowly

fire revolver"

LAKE IN AFRICAN MOUNTAIN.

English Explorer Circumnavirate.
the Entire Sheet Of Water.
At a meeting of the Royal Geograph-
zeal society in London an interesting
report by Poulett Weatherby on Lake
Bangweulu, in Central Africa, was
read. The explorer clrcumnavigated
the entire sheet of water. His party
reached the lake in August, 1896, and
established a camp at the southwestern
corner, 1896 feet above sea level. The
shores Of the lake are absolutely free
from shells and the water has no
depth. He sounded in many places,
but never found more than fifteen feet.
Its surface was usually still, a very
strong wind raising the smallest sea.
It appears to be nothing but a flooded
district. Mr.. Weathersby thinks it
was formed by the water from the
great watershed of the Tanganyika
plateau. The overflow is checked to
the west and southwest by a rim of
rock, but the east and southeast has no
barrier, and in that direction there is
a vast swamp from twenty to forty
miles in breadth. The Liposochi and
Luena to the north and the Chambeze
to the east are the chief contributors
to the water supply. With twenty
five men he explored the island Of
M'bawala, about twenty miles long and
1000 yards from the shore, and pro.
ceeded toward the outlet of the Luca.
pula. ultimately landing at Kirui island.
After a stay Of some time on this
island, which they found low, beauti.
fully wooded, we'll people and cult.
vated,' they passed on to Kisi island.
This they found not a bit like the
island depleted on the maps. 1t pre-
scented a most peaceful, prosperous
sight, and In common with the other
two islands, Kirui and M'bawala. it
reared a good number of sheep-the
broad tailed kind-and goats. The PEG.
pie appeared to live a life of complete
peace and contentment. Proceeding in
a northerly direction the party reached
the extreme north-northwest corner OF
the lake. Continuing their journey
along the coast they discovered a mar.
row peninsula stretching north and
south, having on the west a. sheet of
water about three miles in width.
which extends the whole length OF
Bangweulu north and south, but is
always separated from the lake by the
isthmus. There was cotton every
where, but not in large quantities, and
the bark-cloth tree abounded.-New
York Post.
