tiOn Marriages With Them by
Changing Church Rule.

ton of a successor to DR.. Owens, for
mer corresponding secretary of the board

name of Rev. DR.. John w. English of
Allegheny City, present recording Sec
retary of the board.
The facr of only one name being
brought i'll met with the assembly's dis
approval, and DR.. Alexander Gilchrist
of Omaha was nominated i'll opposition
to Dr.. English. The vote showed DR..
Gilchrist's election by IA to 46.
The report of the board of publication
was adopted.
The question of marriage, with de-
ceased wife's sister, was disposed of by
declining the request of the Chicago
presbytery to refer the question of re-
pealipg the present confession of faith
ON that point to the various presby-
ter,es. AS it now stands it reads:
"The man may not marry any of his
wife's kindred nearer in blood than he
may of his own: nor the woman of her
husbands kindred nearer in blood than
of her OWL"
A memorial on secret societies was
presented from the southern presbytery
of Illinois, asking whether member
ship i'll every secret society is forbidden
by the article as it now stands.

Chemnitz, Sept. q

CdemnltZ, sept. zS.
Georgia and Carolina Planters Co.:
After having given the new round
bale, which you sent us for expert
ment thorough trial, we cannot for
bear to express our satisfaction for the
new system.
The sampling can easily be done
from both sides, without injuring the
bale in any way. NO MARK BALES
will disappear in future, fraudulent
packing can be easily discovered. IN
our opinion, after taking off the wrap
per, and the handling Of the bale from
the warehouse at the mill into the mix
ing room is much easier on account OF
the light weight Of the new bales; We
even believe that a reduction OF the
force in the mixing room Can be gained
with the round hale, which Is of some
value, especially in old mills.
Besides 1t is very agreeable. to spin
ner especially, to see at last a properly
packed bale Of American cotton in his
mill. TIE numerous disadvantages.
caused mostly by the bad condition OF
the wrapper from which the spinner tad
to suffer heretofore-we will no: meatl n
certain manipula,ons Of the mid lie
man regarding the heavy patching Of
the bales, etc.,-wi!l be uvne away with
at once. after introducing the new sys-
tenn of packing. OF course. 1t is to be
expected that certain dealers at the
continental ports, who ale used to
make an extra profit by patching the
square bales with heavy wrapper will
fight the new round bale. but this ought
not to discourage and detaln you from
introducing your new system in the in
terest of all cotton mills.
Our Judgment IS that this new round
|bale will be easily and rapidly intro
duced; some minor Deficiencies, which
the new bale may have, will very soon
be corrected BY practice.
We showed our good opinion Of the
new round bale by giving your repre-
sentative a tria! order for 100 bales
middling or good middling, in your
option, November delivery.
Yours truly, =
