Of Kentucky awarded the certifi-
cate of election to William S. Tay-
Tor. the Republican candidate for
Governor and he was duly inaugu-

not given up yet and is preparing
to contest the matter before the

New York, May 3, 1899. Executive
Committee of the American Cotton
Compress Company, II Broadway
Dear Sir: 1t is proposed TO consolidate
by purchase or otherwise some Of the
most desirable congresses in the S0ut-
hern States, provided such cOnsOlida-
tiOn can be arranged Oh conservative
basis.
ave desire to call your attention to
the fact that in order to meet the COM
petition that has arisen from the round
bale system, it will be necessary for
the congresses referred to to CONSOLE
date under one general management,
fully able and capable to reduce, ex-
penses by improved methods, more
uniform systems of COMPRISING (aided
by the adoption of the standard box),
to obtain lower rates of insurance and
secure lower rates of freight to foreign
and domestic points.
ave recognize the advantages both
to you and us of utilizing your person
al influence in the new business, as
well rs your plant, but at the same
time we feel confident that Unless a
consolidation can be arranged on an
obviously economical b, sis, we may
not be able in the long run to success
fully compete with the round bale
systems or with other new congresses
| which may come into the field.
eff it is your desire to sell your press
property at q reasonable price please
be kind enough to answer ire list of
questions enclosed and also sign the
option enclosed.
I"The information received will be
strictly confidential and not disclosed
to any one else in the business of COM
pressing cotton, except with your con-
sent.
| Gas there are over two hundred
congresses, and as it will require con
siderable time and labor to send a
committee to examine these properties
and books and make all proper arrange
ments, it is therefore necessary that
the option shall hold good for not less
than six months from the date of your
signing.
"UnIess we hear from you within
1.-TWO weeks of this date we shall con-
slider that you are not disposed to
enter into the proposed consolidation
Awaiting your reply, we are yours
