BILLoT's TESTIMONY.
Little New Light Thrown on the Dreyfus
Case

Paris, April 9.-The testimony of Gen.
Billot, former. minister of war, before
the court of cessation in the Dreyfus
case, as published in the Figaro, was
mainly of a negative character, and did
not contain any new facts except the
assertion that the brothers Of Dreyfus
told Gen. Sandherr on December13 1894
that they were ready to offer their
whole fortune for the discovery of the
real culprit. This was the beginning OF
the Dreyfus campaign, taken up by Col.
Picduart

Twenty sports from Worcester and
Webster came to Millbe.fy early this
morning and brought with them four
bulldogs and pulled off one of the
most brutal dog fights ever seen in this
vicinity.
The party, as near as can be learned,
arrived here at $50 o'clock, and went
direct to Hathaway pond, which spot
had been selected as the battlefield.
The dogs weighed in the neighborhood
of 50 pounds. One of the dogs was a
brindle, the other brindle and white
one. The stake was for SIPS. The dogs
fought over two hours, the Webster
canine having the best of the battle
most of the time. The Worcester dog
finally embedded his teeth deep in the
Webster dogs throat, and the struggle
was over the Worcester boys winning
the colors.
There were twelve Millbury sports
present, and one of them told the re-
porter this evening that the match was
of long standing and that it was with
difficulty that the owners of both dogs
were forced to come together. The
fight between the other two dogs was
postponed, owing to the fact that the
stake had not been posted.

advantage in the Lowry bale over any 9TH

foreign parts, which must result in a re-
duced cost in transportation of a given
quantity of cotton.
AS Is we'll known, the square bales as
they arrive at American ports for ship

dimensions, and are so irregular in form,
that it becomes necessary to force them
into the holds of vessels by the aid of ma
chinery. This involves a stevedore charge.

the hold of the vessel and there slowed
without any screwing; also the necessity
for the use of hooks in handling is entirely
avoided
While the Lowry baler is generally I'M
derstood to be a COMPRISING machine,
still 1t is one that can be used on every
large plantation in the cotton growing re-
Sions. 1t is not necessary for the erection
of large plant to operate this press, but
It can be attached to almost any of the or
binary gins now in use throughout the
farming districts.
With this process in successful operation
throughout the cotton states there will be
a great upheaval in the present system
of distributing the staple to outside mar
kets Under the present rule the cotton
is bought by the merchants in large, bulky
bales and shipped TO a compress. The
bales are then forwarded to largo shippers
and thence shipped to foreign markets.
With this change in the matter of COM
pressing the whole system will be uprooted
and even small markets will be able to get
shipping. quotations to any part of the
world.
In other words instead of there being
through the southern states about a dozen
cotton markets, where the congestion OF
trade brought about by concentration for
compression charges. prices become fixed,

pens to be born. Population may increase
by millions in cotton countries, and as O
necessary consequence the work of their
hands will increase in like proportion; but
1t is wise provision of nature that as the
products of one country are largely in
creased there is an increasing population
In other countries which need this produce
ton. You might argue all day, and back
to this point you would have to come at
last. Therefore, the remedy for placing
the productions of one people into the
hands of another lies in increased COM
merce; with the facilities of transporta-
tion made perfect, every section of a COM
mon country as well as every nation of the
world, profits by the advancement of the
other and hence the great principle of free
and liberal exchange becomes the necessary
accomplishment of human industry
Every man raises more than he needs, and
that surplus production has some one some
what standing in need of it. Carrying on
this argument to it's natural conclusion,
the distribution of the cotton product has
met with less assistance from enterprise
and invention than any other great staple.
The most wonderful inventions and de-
velopment of the last fifty years have been
The age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1897-1902, 1899-05-07

in cheapening the production of wheat,
corn and the grains generally. Machinery
has come in to prepare the ground, to
plant the seed, to garner the harvest, to
separate the wheat from the chaff. AT
every line we have found invention dupii-
eating the possibilities of human labor,
and with what result? Look at the states
OF the great northwest, which within the
lives of living men were the homes of In
dams, reduced into submission to the, hand
of civilization, peopled by teeming popula-
lions of active and enterprising men; cross
ed with railroads, highways, steamship
lines and every other aid to transportation.
AS cotton leaves the producer it COM
menees to dwindle. Every sampler who
chooses to do can pull from one to two
pounds from the side of the bales until
statistics show that every bale is srified of
at least twenty-seven pounds before IT is
placed in the scales for final Weighing.
Figuring ON the immense amount of cot
ton raised this loss is enormous. al

The cheapness of operating the Lowry
press is remarkable. 1t can be operated
even cheaper than the small old fashioned
steam gins.
This new process enables the farmer and
ginner to be entirely independent Of the

Recent exhibitions of the new Lowry
press for cotton are causing widespread
comment throughout the southern states,
and all those interested in the raising aud
handling of cotton are studying the mat
ter with much interest. If the practical
working of this new, press proves as sue
eessful as the exhibitions have DONE the
time of the old square bale of cotton is
a thing of the past. The new round bale
has come to stay.
The Lowry bale, as 1t comes out of the

OFFICIAL Paper OF Cll1 cd COUNTY.

j. F. STAHL. Proprietor.

II is common talk in Washington
official circles that Secretary Of the
Navy Long intends to tender his resigna-
ton at an early day. The secretary's
treatment OF Schley is said to be the
cause Of q misunderstanding with the
president. 1t is claimed by some OF the
radical Schley men that Maryland was
lost to the republicans through the
shameful treatment accorded to Schley
and the continuous praise of Sampson.
This is enough to satisfy the president
that he must "Al9erize" Secretar, Long
in order to land Maryland 10 the repub-
lican column next year. Secretary
Long recently attempted to explain mat
tars and sent a long statement to a Chi
cage paper. and this does not please the
president. In his speech presenting
Dewew his sword Secretary Long was
not accurate IN his statements, and on
