pose the propriotors desire to make
no discrimination between the guests

A most commendable feature are
the fire escapes being built on each

The associations of the dining

sacred memory in the minds Of many
very superior people but as | may
not be included among any of that
class, an apology for not anchoring
hope and faith to tho substantials of
the table would be too much of an
assumption; however, there are few
who do not know a good thing when
they have it thrust upon them; the
service here is good and the fare ex-

way, when used with consideration,
covers a whole lot; column full of

columbia Itoc0rd.)

Many OF tho South Carolina sol
diors who ar" entitled to back pay,
which is in process Of collection for
them, have become somewhat impn
ticnt at tho delay in rosults.
Judge G. p. Townsend and Mr..
". Boyd Evans, who have tho mat
tor in charge, have been working
hard to secure tho necessary papers
to get the money, but it has been
slow work, and captains have not re-
spondod with the rolls with that
"Iacrity which ordinarily might be
expected.
Ono reason for it, perhaps, is cx-
plainablo from the tonor of somo Of
tho letters received by Governor Nc.
Sweeney from officers and mon OF
tho rcgimont. One of tho provisions
OF the contract which cvory soldier
must sign is that Mcssrs. Townsend
and Evans shall receive fifteen per
cent. Of tho amount collected for
their services. a great many of tho
officers and men have complained to
the governor that this por contaec IS
too much; they are willing, thoy say,
to pay reasonable amount, but they
think fifteen per cont. too high.
Governor McSwconey has taken
mncn interest in the matter and will
consult with tho two gentlemen
about it. 1t is not known what thov
will do, but it is highly probable that
some satisfactory arrangement will
be arrived at. Otherwise the claims
will have to pass through the Cover
nors Office and all tho work Mcssrs
Townsend and Evans have done
we'll have to be gone over. This
will cause moro delay and tho
soldier boys will not like that at all.
They are mighty anxious to SEQ tho

Is absolutely 10 "ryantage to the
producer i'll putting his cotton in
round shapes. If thoro is any econ
omy in tho round balo it evidently
goes into the pocket Of somo ono
eleo and not to tho | ,duccr. Allow
mo now to onumerato some of tho
disadvantages.
Mcssrs lumun T. Co.'s offer to
pay 10 points MORO for round than
square cotton Of samo grade may or
may not result in tho seller receiving
do cents per 100 pounds moro than
tho highest market price, Us often,
| might say frequently, such firms
as tho RElli", NcFaducns, and cvcn
smaller concerns havo bcttcr limits
in certain markets than Mcssrs. In.
man Il Co., have.
In such cases tho owner of tho
cotton might find himself forced to
take say 3o or possibly as little ns
~ points over tho highest market
prico for square cotton for samo
grade which wonld, of course cause
him loss
Might thcr" not como a question
between the seller and inman IL Co.'s
buyor us to tho grade of tho round
cotton? Who is to sottlo this !?
Again tho Southern mills demand,
already enormous and growing every
year, acts rs stimulus in tho Allan
tic states, and if this demand does
not take compressed cotton in any
shape tho owner Of round cotton
loses important competition.
Thisaotlor to pay rs conts per 100
pounds moro for round than square
cotton of same grade exists today
and is good, we understand, until
Sept. lst, 1900.
There are mon Of rs much ability,
practical sense, experiences and fair
dealings rs our noighbors of tho
Round Bale Company, who state
unqualiliedly, that so soon as all tho
the square cotton is packed in the
uniform shape of 54x2l inches,
thero will bo no advantage IN freight
insurance or any othor condition in
favor Of the round balo over tho
Standard Square Bale.
Such being the case, how then will
Mcssrs. lnman & Co., or any other
iirm find it possible to pay moro for
round knlos?
Tho question must occur to the
producer; is il 10 his interest to as
slst by his patronage tho adoption Of
now method Of baling his pro" ct,
which is patented and on which he
must always pay IA royalty Of $l.00
per 800 pounds, or had he not better
improve his present methods and get
tho samo result, still using Il square
press which is on tho market at u
fair prico to any buyer?

The supreme court having recently
declared that officers, such as dis
pensary constables, caunot carry
concealed weapons, tho following
order was sont to tho captains of tho
force this morning, with Governor
McSwoercy'' approval:
"Dear Sir: Governor MaSweenev
directs mo to have you instruct tho
constables under your command not
to carry concealed weapons. The
supreme court has recently decided
that weapon cannot lawfully be
carried concealed. If weapons arc
carried they must be exposed.
"Respoctfully,
W. W. Harris, Clerk"
Mr.. Harris, in speaking of the
carrying Of weapons by constables,
says that the State does not furnish
them with pistols nor~are they in.
structed to use them. Whatever
pistols arc carried by constables are
their own property. 1t has been
generally believed that constables
ore armed hy the State, but Mr.. Hnr-
ris says that this is incorrect. Gov
ornor Tillman had them supplied
with pistols, but during Governor
Evans administration they were all
called in, and since that time when
constablos carried pistols they had to
buy them themselves.
1t is fact, nevertheless, that tho
constabulary generally went about
armed, but if they do so hereafter
they must carry their weapons OK
posed rs policemen usually do.

the merits cf Round and Square

Allow me u Nv to go moro into de-
tail and compare tho results of these
methods to Ito producer.
Messrs. Inman Il Co., advertise to
pay 45 cents per 100 pounds moro
for Round bales (Lowry ratenD than
for square bales Of same grade, and
this is the inlucomont offered to tho
planter why he should use tho Round
press and pay 81 royalty on each
500 pounds lint cotton.
In making this comparison + will
use, as near as possible to obtain
them, the actual costs and take it for
granted that tn" ginner going to the
extra expense of putting up and
operating round bale outfit is will
ting to accept as his profit one half
as much rs the owner OF the machin.
cry receives. The expert help and
extra power necessary to work tho
Round bale press should entitle him
to moro.
Lot us illustrate tho situation by
the supposition that two planters
have exactly 1900 pounds iced cot
ton each which should net about 500
pounds lint, and one puts his in two
Round bales while the other gets ono
Square bale.
