Resistance Reduced, Power Concen.
trated

Mr.. b. t. Peacock Of Georgia under
date of June 10, 1893, gives his expe-
rience in changing the box of his press;
Before I had altered my press box
to conform to the standard l was afraid
that my power wopld not be suffi-
cient to press a heavy bale in a box
24x54 dimensions, but after making the
change, | found that it required less
power to pack a standard bale than it
did to pack a bale Of the same weight
IN my old press box, which measured
28X58 inches.
L was unable to account for this
dlnerence until | saw a mathematical
demonstration Of the reason that the
compress can get a greater density in
a Z4X54 packed bale thar in a bale of
greater dimensions. This explanation
was as follows:
On a 2Sx58 inch bale, after compress
sion, there are 1884 square inches: on
a 24X54 bale, after compression, there
areare 1,456 square inches. The pres
sure Of a compress on both bales would
De the same, say 1900 tons, or $780,
900 pounds. Now, divide the $500. 900
pounds pressure by the area of each
bale, and you will find that the smaller
bale has 65S pounds greater pressure
to the square inch than the larger bale.
The same explanation is applicable
to a ginner's press box. In a 24x54
press box the lint comes more directly
under the screW-pin than in a press
box Of 28x58 inches. The resistance is
reduced, owing to the power being
more concentrated, and, as is the case
with the compress, the sufaco Of the
bale being smaller, you get a greater
pressure to the square inch on a 24x54
bale than ON a bale Of greater dimen-
sions.
The difficulty complained off by
some glnners of tramping as much
lint into a standard press box as can be
tramped into a wider and longer box.
may be readily overcome by deepening
the box.
ITO make a standard bale Of cotton
there are only wv things necessary,
namely:
First. Make press box "a inches |
wide, inside measurement.
Second. Make press box "a inches
long, inside measurement. |
All cotton, except such as is con-
by southern mills, is compressed /
in transit. The compress fixes the
thickness, tn -efore the ginner may !
stop his follow block at any point
the buckling limit of an eleven /
,oot cotton tie"

Fails to Negotiate treaty

correspondence of Associated Press.)
Manague, Nicaragua, July 25.-Pres-
1dent Zelaya, commissioner to Gaute-
mala. after much effort, failed to ne
gotiate a treaty with that country AMI
has returned home. The commissioner
TO San Salvador was equally unsuccess-
full and he has also returned. The conf
missioner to Honduras, however. sue
ceeded in getting President Sierra tc
agree to meet President Zelaya at
Amapala, Honduras, or on a steamer
in the gulf of Fonseca, between San
Salvador and Nicaragua, for the our
pose Of endeavoring to formulate a.
treaty as near offensive and defensive
as possible; but the current of feeling
in the Central American states appears
to be unfavorable to President Zelaya.

Thanks from the Orphans

The Sunbeam Club, of Miss Mamie
Alderman's Select School, which has
done much in the past for the benefit
of the Odd Fellows Orphan Home in
G0ldsboro, is in receipt of the follow
ing letter Of gratitude from the orphan
age:
Dear Sunbeam Club:
1t affords me much pleasure to write
to you and greet you with affection
and gratitude for the good work you
are doing for the Orphanage Home, in
this city.
You members of the club and your
kim hearted, noble teacher, Miss AL
derman, lave a warm place in the es-
TEEN of the Odd Fellows in North Caro-
lima, for your continued practical in
tereSt in the most cherished institution
they have. And you have a still warm
er place in the hearts of the orphans
whom you are so kindly and lovingly
helping to care for. 1 wish to thank
you for your last act of thoughtful
help, in the gift of books for the Home
library. Your list was we'll selected and
make a nice appearance on the shelvs.
The Children show a %fondness for them,
and l feel quite sure that the books will
help to make them wiser, happier, more
useful in life, and noble in character.
for of all the influences affecting our
lives reading good books is one of the
most helpful.
l was at the Home a few days ago
and held a Sunday afternoon service
for the little ones. 1t is quite a pleas
ure to me ITO see their happy faces and
receive their warm greeting, for they
have somehow come to think of me as
their friend, and / feel honored by
their good will toward me. We spoke
about the Sunbeam Club, and I asked
all the children who appreciated your
and We're grateful to you to
hold up their hands in token of it, and
do you think of it every hand, ever to
the %tiniest, was quickly uplifted. 1
then asked that all who would pray
for the members of the club would
raise their hands and every hand, SUI
quickly up.
So you see you give money and books
and ndnes and get back in return
gratitude, love and prayers. l think
all o get more than you |
give, and realize the truth of the Bible:
Us is more blessed to give than to re-
ceiYe." |
I hope all of you will have the pleas
ure at some time of visiting the Home. |
and l hope you will all continue to be /!
generous and helpful and grow UP to
be noble, useful Christian men and
Accept the blessing of one who in
vokes Gods -benediction upon You each
and all.
Your friend,
F. D. SWINDELL.

Maine Cotton Will To be Moved Seutt

Biddeford, Me-, August 9.-Arrange-
ments are being made for the remove
OF the Springdale cotton mills. OF
Springvale, Me, to Fort Valley. Ga.
The removal will be the second of the
kline from York county. About one year
ago the Portsmouth cotton mill. of
south Berwick, a small corporation,
went south.
The Springdale concern has been run
ing only part Of the time during the
past year, owing to a lack of orders.
Hlsn X and too much competition
are among the chief reasons given for
the change in location. The plant has
10000 spindles Z 300 looms and man
light twills and sateens.

The board of directors Of the East

ISOLATION met at The orion yesterday
at 2 o'clock and were in session till 5
O'Clock. The full board was in attend
ance, viz: President w. L. Hill. Of
Warsaw; Vice President j. A. Brown,
of Chadbourn; Secretary c. NJ. Stein
metz, of Rose Hill; Treasurer 5. H.
Strange. of Fayetteville, and Messrs.
w. E. Springer, of this city; ]. A.

w. Russell, Of Rose Hill; 3. r. Russell,
of Teachey; A. H. Paddison, Of Bur-
gaw; DR.. George F. Lucas, of Currie,
and DR.. E.. Porter, of Rocky Point.
The object of the meeting was to con-
slider transportation rates and refriger-
ator service for the next season.
The written propositions of the rep
resentatives Of the refrigerator lines
were considered and we learn that the
which submitted POSI-
tons were Armour & Co., Of Chicago;
Swift & Co., Of Chicago, and the Conti-
mental Fruit Express Company. The
California Fruit Transportation Com
pan had the refrigerator contract this
season, but we understand that Swift
& G {. have bought out that company's
400 cars, and became one Of the bid
ders.
The directors after considering the
propositions, expressed a preference for
the Armour service. That
has ample cars and fine service, and
makes a rate which is much lower than
hat of last season. All three compa-
MES are responsible concerns and the
truckers tell US that they count on a
satisfactory service the coming season.
The matter of open freight rates was
also considered, and we learn that there
will also be a reduction over the rates
of the past season.
1t is understood that the Atlantic
Coast Line has the final say in the mat
ter Of refrigerator and freight rates
and the action of the meeting of the
directors will come before the traffic
department of the railroad
for approval.
