Mr.. Geo. w. Waters, OF Georgia,
tayors standard square bale:
I'VE all know very well that the bet
tar condition OF any kind OF product
we raise is In when It goes on the
market the better the price 1t COM
mands. The same rule applies to cot
ton as well as any other crop. and II
the ginners would stop just for M
moment and think. they would see that
it Ia better business to put the bales
in the proper shape to command the
best prices that the market would az
ford. I find that our bale box, since
changed, gives no more trouble than
st did before. The size or our press
box before changed was 2Sx6O inches.
and / was fearful that we would have
some trouble OF getting the lint In the
box In a sufficient quantity TO make
500 pounds and upward. but after the
change was made could see no diner
ence, as we could pack 600 pounds and
upward Just as easily as before the
change.
II find that most of the ginners care
very little bout how a bale looks when
IL leaves the gin. He cares nothing
for tie tearing OF, and never sews the
head, and should the bagging pull out
from under the tie there Is no attempt
made 20 remedy the ragged condition
of the bale. He says that the buyer
never sees the bale, and only trades
by sample ON the board OF the ware
house. Now, II the buyer cares moth
ing about the condition OF the bale,
then. in that case, 1t is all right, though
we always make our bale look as neat
as we can, and 1t always sells at q ret
ter price than some OF Our neighbors,
whose bales are long and ugly. Our
cotton samples better, because 1t Is
better protected from the rough hand
ling il gets before it arrives at the
place OF sale.
The round compress bale, as some
call them, can never be used but TO
very little advantage. They are too
expensive for the ordinary farmer.
and, in fact, the royalty round bale
men charge is just the same GO cents
per 1907 that the ginner Is charging
TO gin now. The round bale ginner
would have TO charge the farmer $500
per bale OF 500 pounds to get as much
for his ginning as the square babe man
charges. / saw one OF the contracts
tune tIIlGt lCdu Sotlob NhV
other day that they make with the
ginners, and l can't see for my life how
they can expect any sensible man 10
sign anything Of the kind, If they are
all the same as that one.
Now, + think the best thing for the
gipners and compress men to do is to
make their bales standard size, and
make neater packages, so the cotton
will be protected from abuse. Let
them also get together and make q
standard price for ginning. Fix O.
standard weight to pay for the ginning.
by first binding the ginner to make his
bales in standard shape, and then bind
ing the producer to pay a fixed price
for the same. l think this plan will
cover al 1.-The deficiencies in the square
bale, and when that Is done we can
readily afford to let the round bale take
care Of itself

the GOVERNORS OF GEORGIA ON
tRimE>

, Governor Gambler, OF Georgia, re-
Gently published a letter on the condi-
stiOrS in the south as to races, and in
yesterdays Messenger appeared his
appeal to the people Of Georgia to join
hands and end lynch law. All good
citizens in all the south greatly desire
Ito rave all mob law stopped. The time
has not been since 1870 that this desire
not prevailed everywhere. 1t is ap-
parent that bad white men of a .lawless
nature seek to avenge themselves upon
other whites as we'll as upon negroes,
because of the widespread feeling
that rapes must be met with death by a
swift and unerring justice. While nine
ty white men perhaps in the one hum
dred believe that a rapist is a brute
and should be treated as a brute, they.
have not been in favor of enlarging the
sphere of 4ynching. They are willing to
leave the punishment of the other great
often unsatisfactory courts. Governor
Gamblers call is not too so1n, for of all
states Georgia is the most cursed by ne
gro violence and by the revenges OF the
multitude because of its rape multiple
cations. We are not sure that lawless-
ness of the gravest KINDS will cease if
lynchings cease, but it is certain that
the devils who rape have not been awed
with the certainty OF speedy death by
the crowd if caught after pe~rpetrating
their awful crimes against helpless hu-
mainly. 1t is a very desperate condi-
ton to deal with and one certainly de-
handing the sternest appeal and the
swiftest Governor Gambler
says, n all good citizens everywhere
viii indorse the declaration:
The purity Of the fair mothers and
daughters of Georgia must and shall be
preserved, and at the same time the
ives and liberties of all Of the law
abiding negro in Geofgia must and
shall be protected. Arson and bur-
glary and assassination ard robbery
and rape must stop, and at the same
time lynch law mast stop The good
Of both races and the fair name Of the
state demands this"
Georgia needs a criminal court in ev-
cry county that can be called at any
hour to deal with red-handed murder
erS and lustful brutes who assault
women and children. His opinion of
Georgia courts if well based is singu-
lar, for the euAogy bestowed cannot be
applied to the ourts in any other
southern state. The Messenger wishes
the faithful, watchful governor God
speed in the good work of peace and
order and protection he aims at. He
says:
must away with the mob. We
must re-enthrone the law. We mus
restore the altar Of reason and tear
down the altar that passion has erect.

ORDERED TO THE ASYLUM
JAMES CosGEIN'S MIND is A wHIRL
.. ING MAELSTROM.
Believes He Is a Multi-Millionaire and
That His Brothers Are Stars-Tele-
phones Out of Cows Hearts.

James Cosgein, the old blind man.
who was arrested over month ago for
insanity, was examined yesterday in
Judge Lindsay's court by Drs. Shultz
and MacNevin, and was ordered COM
mitted to the asylum.
Cosgein was injured in mine num-
Der of years ago. the accident causing
the loss of his eyesight and otherwise
seriously injuring him. He presented a
pitiful spectacle in court. On a former
occasion, in 1896, he was confined in
the insane asylum. He imagines that
he owns many banks and that his
brothers are millionares. For some time
he has been living by himself in
squalor. On. being questioned by the
doctors he stated that only few years
ago he built a bank for one of mis-
brothers; that the family consisted of
80 brothers, though only four by birth.
The others. he said, are stars and have
not yet appeared in this world. Cos
gein also said it ought to be well re-
membered that he was hung in the
court yard only two years ago. Just
at the close of the war, he claimed, he
had brought from the East to Gregson
Springs a number of boilers in order
that the water might be well heated.
He also told the doctors that he was
the man who patented the telephone
and the electric light and that he
taught his boy how to make telephones
out of cows hearts.

WAL KERWLLE WILL PAVE
Citizens With One Accord Saw
the Mud Must Go.
PLAN FOR MATCHMAKING
Stag and Concentrates to Be Used in
Making Streets Passable-City Coun-
Gil Will Make Full Investiga-
ton Of the Cost.

Walkerville is on the verge of paw
ing. The citizens are pretty generally
aroused, and they say with one voice
1.-THE mud must 60" On Daily street,
from the city hall east to Main and on
Main north to the Lexington trestIe,
the mud during the wet season makes
travel a sore trial. At times the mud
is hub deep and it takes long time to
dry up. The streets are narrow. so
narrow on South Main street that side
walks are out of the question. Side
walks on either side eight feet wide
would completely bridge the street
up towards the Lexington. In wet times
person cannot reach the Masonic hail
from the top of the hill without plod-
ding through mud.
In order to remedy this evil the coun-
ell is considering the proposition of
putting thick layer of crushed Stag on
the parts of the streets mentioned
Daily street at this particular point is
very narrow, in places about 30 feet
wide. The cost of ''macadamizing with
Stag is to be investigated and a report
| made to the council at an early date
1t is claimed that Stag broken into
properly laid and covered with a thin
layer of concentrates or ordinary sand
| make a splendid pavement, that the
more it is beaten by heavy traffic the
| better the surface becomes until it is a
solid, smooth pavement
| 1t has been put to a test at the bot
| tom of the Centerville hill, at point
| where mud has always been an eyesore
| to teamsters. A prominent citizen of
| VAUDEVILLE said yesterday to a Stand
ard reporter: 1.-The citizens of Walker
VILE are certainly in favor of dispen-
| sing with the mud. I think that Stag
will overcome the nuisance Let it be
| put on DAILY and Main streets at those
| points where the mud is thick and
| sticky during eight months of the year.
When not muddy they are dusty
eight inches of fluffy, puffy dust. Our
city is now in a splendid way to under
| take the paving task. We have about
| 81 500 clear and above board in the
| treasury. Last year this time we were
| $4,000 behind. So you see we are SO, sou
| better off than we We're last year this
| time. I think $4,000 will do the work
| required to put the mud out of the way.
| Now is the time to begin. We will get
| the benefit of the taxes next fall and
| therefore can begin the winter term in
a first-class financial condition"
| 1t is probable that the council will, at
| its next session, take definite action in
| the matter of repairing the streets
named. The opinion is general up there
that the streets need fixing.

OBJECT TO DARK CARS.
Women of Salt Lake Want Illuminated
Coaches.

There is considerable discussion in
Salt Lake regarding the running of
dark cars to and from pleasure resorts,
and Butte young men who propose go
ing to Zion to spend their vacations
might well pause to reflect and consider
a bit. The Tribune of this city has the
following to say about something very
interesting to the young folks:
The announcement in yesterday s
Tribune of the action taken by the Wo-
mans club respecting the running Of
dark cars to and from the out of-town
resorts at night caused considerable
comment. 1t was also brought out that
there are two distinct sides to the ques-
ton.
Several ladies were discussing the
matter yesterday, when one of the num-
Der said: "In some instances I believe
it better to have the cars dark. came
in from Lagoon one evening recently
on a lighted car and there were at least
a dozen young men who had one or
both arms around the girls who were
with them. My escort was apparently
as much embarrassed as I was, and I
wished many times that the lights
would go out"
would that have made any differ
ence with him, do you Think asked a
demure little girl, who hadn't said a
word up to this time, and then the first
lady blushed furiously and said: ooh,
you mean thing; you know l didn't
| mean that
During the past week on an incoming
Saltair train almost every young man
in one of the cars had his arm around
his lady friend, and one girl who had
two escorts sat between them, with the
arm of each about her. Every little
while somebody who didn't have a girl
would light match and a few youths
| would break away, but the majority
obeyed the Biblical injunction, Hold
fast to that which is good" and allowed
nothing to disturb them.

BOY WAS TOO PERT
Young AlOnzO Maib Climbed
to Top of Train.
WAS CRIPPLED FOR LIFE
Now Sues the Santa Fe For
$4,000 Damages.

Alonzo Maib, minor, by his next friend.
=. W. Maib, has filed a petition in the dis
trict court, through his attorneys. Hus-
ton & Brooks, asking for $12.SO0 damages
for alleged injuries which he received on
the 18th day OF last May. Alonzo is only
10 years old, but he is an adventurous lad
and evidently thought he could do what
any man on earth could do, and as a re-
suit he is now said to be a cripple for
life. He was riding on Santa Fe freight
train going to Kiowa, Kansas, and when
the train was within one mile Of Kiowa,
at about o'clock in the afternoon, it was
stopped for some reason, and young Maib
climbed to the top of one of the cars,
which. the petition states was in a place
Of extreme danger, especially when the
car was put in motion, but which little
Alonzo, on account of his tender age and
immature judgment did not comprehend.
The petitioners claim the train men well
knew this fact Shortly afterwards,
states the petition, while said Alonzo
still remained there on top of said car,
in said dangerous position in plain view
OF and with the knowledge of said crew,
the said crew did then and there careless
ly and with gross negligence and reck-
less indifference to consequences and TO
the safety of said Alonzo. and without
taking proper care to avoid injuring him
or to protect him. caused the train. in
Guiding said box car on which said AlonZo
was standing. to move forward for nearly
a. mile toward Kiowa, and to then sud
denly, with jars and shocks, move back
ward and forward, without reference to
the danger to the said AlOnzo.
The petition further alleges that the
trainmen carelessly failed to warn said
Alonzo of his danger, or to prevent his
getting on said car in the first place, or to
stop the train and require him to get
of the carelessness and reckless indiffer-
ence of the train crew, the said Alonzo
was without his fault, thrown from the
top fthe car to the railway track
beneath and was seriously and perma-
nently injured in and upon his head, body,
limbs and in and upon his back and spinal
colum and nervous system and in his kid
neys and bowels and urinary organs. and
thereby rendered an invalid and cripple
for life, all to the plaintiffs damage in the
sum Of $1,000. The plaintiff has expended
the sum OF $500 for medincines and medi-
cal attention since his injuries trying to
get cured
