ley Merry is a feature of the production,

The Round Bale.

We published much last week about the
round bale. We know nothing OF 1t of our
own knowledge, but we are impressed With
the feasibility Of the proposition.
The cotton mill will investigate the matter,
and if President Bailey and Superintendent
Thompson should be pleased with 1t, the
ginners at Abbeville will be urged 10 put in q
plant for packing the round bale.
II the saving in basging and ties is not
offset by some disadvantage with which
We are not now acquaianted, the cotton mill
cannot afford to continue to waste the cost
OF bagging and ties. The saving to the
mill could not be less than sixty cents bale
This amount on 5000 bales would 60 long
way toward paying for a new ginnery.
The cotton MILL would save several thous.
and dollars In warehouses. Thei ware. houses
as they now stand would hold enough round
bales to supply the mill after 1t Is doubled In
size.
II 5000 could be saved in the building OF
warehouses, and II $s,O 900 could be saved on
the waste baggin: and ties, 1t is to be seen
that the mill cannot we'll afford to use the old
bale. And 5000 would lack very little OF
building new ginnery In case the ginneries
here decline to put in the new process.
