Editor COURIER -
BY reference te, the last issue of You
very excellent journal of date July Is
1899, l perceive that one of your
graciously inspired () prose critics ant
communicants,ain essaying to raise him
self into u of the choicest realms OF
rhetorical elegance and excellence, OF
perhaps political preference, has so fal
overestimated the limited calibre of his
knowledge and wisdom as to Try to i'm
pose upon the enlightened readers OF
LOuisiana's banner parish a conglomer-
ated %harrangue as a type of scholarly
ability such as would impress upon the
minds OF the %staunch, true and tried
citizens of Turkey Creek an intention
on the part of your humble scribe tn
underestimate the number and kind
on hand Mt the hour named and to be-
little their efforts to entertain the speak
ers and other guests upon n of the
pleasaDtest occasions it has ever been
the privilege of such laureate writer's to
enjoy politically, socially or otherwise.
1t is however, unfortunate in many res.
poets that such crude, illogical and nm
intellectually constructed individuals,
when attempting to distort the little eff
fort at fun OF your very humblest poet
% into intentional harm. could not in
duce the "Giver of all Good and Perfect
Gifts" to send n special interpreter to
such of the CoURIER's readers in diff
ferent parts of this section as have had
the untold patience and forbearance to
peruse or ven partially comprehend
the meaning of the late effort on the
part of the literery wonder of the age
over tho signature of "Citizens," and
purporting to be from the lengthening
shades and h%ospitahle homes of
Turkey Creek.
Furthermore, we would have all the
residents of this favored portion of our
ity We greatly depricate the cOnstruc-
ton placed upon this "Campaign Pop
gun" etfusion, hoping that they may
continue to enjoy their very nviahle rep
utatiOh for hospitality in the past, and
that such a bow as | can make tn their
extra-wise and able defender, will ever
be at the service of a generous peO-
pie.
The information tending to justify me
in saying what | did in regard to the
small crowd and the absence of many
speakers was incidentally learned from
those who said that some of the aspir-
ants for public favors who failed to go
had given the same to them SO | assure
you. it was simply intended as IL joke
handed in by someone else which |
thought would look well in rhyme.
Yea. this orl0le, If on Turkey Greek,
Should fold his wings and sneak away
To a realm where people live on cheek
In the bliss OF Il dream-land bright as day
This, in INN irritation of "Citizens" COM
munIcatiOn, is intended to show that
words are no object where SO little
sense is displayed.

Roundup Cotton Bales.
TO SATISFY THE DEMAND THE ENTIRE
CROP WILL EVENTUALLY BE
so BALED.

For once the cotton planter has an
ally among the great corporations. For
years the cotton tie ring, the baggiDg
combine and the compress people have
all lived on the cotton grower. There
was no way to fight them, and SO they
grew rich on their profits,
which the farmers had to pay. Now
the American Cotton Company, with its
Roundup bale is in the field and it is SO
notwithstanding the cotton handling
business that many of the old expenses
are necessarily wiped out. The farm
ers must inevitably get q large share of
this saving, but the old compress peo-
pie and the bagging and tie trust are
raising a great cOmiNOtiOn against the
American Cotton Company as though
they had always been the friends Of the
farmer. Unfortunately for them they
never played the friendly act before
and now the farmers doubt the sincerity
of their repentance.
The Roundlap bale is the trade make
name given by the American Cotton
Company to its round bale to distin
guish it from all other bales. The cot
ton mills Of New England and of En-
rope are eager buyers of this bale be-
cause as com pared with all other bales
it has many advantages covered by
broad patents, which greatly Lessen the
cost of manufacture 10 the mill. This
R0undlap bale eliminates two or three
processes in manufacturing and as the
cotton mills of the world are willing to
pay more for this cotton than any other,
it naturally follows that to secure the
highest prices all Southern cotton must
in time he pat up in this R0unlap bale
form. Mr.. VIM. C. Lowering, one of
the most distinguished cottvn mill men
of New England says
lido not hesitate to say that the time
is coming when the cotton manufactu-
rers all over the world will insist that
their cotton shall be delivered to them
in the form of a Roundiap BALE
