In view of the attacks upon the Round
lap bale of the American Cotton COM
pany. and the cry of trust against the
manufacturers of the machines for maxi
ing those bales raised by the owners OF
congresses and others, the following let
ter indicating combine OF different
sort is of peculiar interest. The letter
was forwarded to the Atlanta Constitu-
ton by Richard Cheatham, editor OF the

Tenn. 1t is as follows:
"New York, May 3rd, 1899. Execu-
tive Committee of the American Cotton
Compress Company, II Broadway. dear
Sir: 1t is proposed to consoll1ate Dy
purchase or otherwise some OF the most
desirable congresses in the southern
states. provided such consolidation can
be arranged on a conservative basis.
"We are in consultation WITH the rep
resentativss of all the capital required
for the business who are willing to take
it up if it can be put upon an attractive
basis.
1--WE desire to call your attention to
The fact that in order to meet the compe-
tition that has arisen from the round
bale system it will be necessary for the
compIesses referred to to consolidate un'
der one general management, fully able
and capable to reduce expenses by I'M
proved methods, more uniform systems
of COMPRISING (aided by the adoption OF
the standard b Ky, to obtain lower rates
of insurance and secure lower rates or
freight to foreign and domestic points,
"We recognize the advantages both to
you and US OF utilizing your personal in
t1uence in the new business, as we'll as
yonr plant. but at the same time we feel
confident that unless consolidation can
be arranged on an obviously economical
basis we may not be able in the long run
to successfully compete with the round
bale system or VITA other new con-
presses which may come iuto the field.
eff it is yonr desire to sell your press
property at reasonable price please be
kind enough TO answer the list Of queS-
tions enclosed and also sign the option
enclosed.
1.-The information received will be
strictly confidential and not disclosed to
any one else ia the business of compress
ing cotton, except with your consent.
LAS there are over two hundred COM
presses, and as it will require considera-
BILE time and labor to send committee
to examine these properties and books
and make all proper arrangements, 1T 10
therefore necessary that the option shall
hold good for not less than six months
from the date of your signing.
"Unless we hear from you within two
weeks of this date we shall consider that
you are not disposed to enter into the
proposed consolidation. Awaiting your
reply, we are yours truly,

For an Editor TO Recommend Patent Medi-
Cines?
From Sylvan Valley News, Brevrad, N. C.
1t may be question whether the edi-
tor of a newspaper has the right to pub
licly recommend any of the various pros
prietary medicines which flood the
market, yet as a preventive of suffering
we feel it duty to say good word for
Chamberlain Collie, Cholera and Diar-
rhoea Remedy. We have known and
used this medicine in our family for
twenty years and have always found it
reliable. In many cases dose of this
remedy would save hours of suffering
while physician is awaited. We do not
believe in depending implicitly on any
medicine for a cure, but we do believe
that if a bottle of Chamberlain's Diar-
rhoea Remedy was kept on hand and
administered at the inception of an att
tack much suffering might be avoided
and in very many cases the presence of a
physician would rot be required. AT
least this has been our experience during
the past twenty years. For sale by Far
rar & Harris.

Journalism in Greenland.

journalism IN Greenland is represent
ed by a single paper, conducted by a
certain Mr.. Moeller, says the Westmin-
ster Gaz ,tte. This energetic gentleman
performs single-handed the functions OF
editor, printer and distributor, and the
entire paper is the product of his own
pen. He has set up primitive printing
establish ment at Goodthaab, and twice
a month he performs long voyage on
skates through the country to dispose of
his journal. Originally nothing more
than collection of crude illustrations,
Mr.. Moeller gradually introduced into
the pages of his paper first words, then
sentences, and finally regular articles on
the affairs of the day. In fact, he may
be said to have actually taught his sab
SER bers to read.

BUILD UP THE COUNTRY.
More Talk Needed About the UpbuiIding OF
Rural Communities.

Yes, build up the country and the
towns and cities will take care of tbem>
selves. A booming town or city situated
in the heart of region where agncult>
ure is languishing is an oasis in desert
that is not often seen. Commenting on
this subject writer in the Current he
view we'll says: Clowns will arise under
their natural laws of growth or decay,
and when it is possible for human effort
to advance their interests it is always
safe to rely upon the active work OF
those who expect to be personally oene-
flied By the progress of the municipal
ties where they reside. We need more
talk about the upbuilding and the de-
velopment of the country districts-the
rural communities. The present steady
movement of the farmers and their chill
dren to the towns is one of the worst
signs of the times. 1t will ruin the coun-
trv. The best way to build up town
and make it prosperous is to develop the
Id1IDlnR ulSJIlCI dlOuAd 1N' ~ SS'S
ment encourages manufacturing, but 1t
does very little for agriculture, beyond
giving the farmers advice and garden
seed.
"MilIons of dollars are expended in
giving cities and towns satisfactory mali
facilities, but the farmers are not much
better off in this respect than their
grandfathers were century ago.
There is N uch food for thought in the
foregoing especially applicapble to the
conditions now prevailing IN the south,
where towns, cities and villages are
rapidly increasing in number and popu.
lation-population largely drawn from
the farming districts. Stores are multi
plying faster than farms and clerks are
becoming much more numerous than
young farmers.
Something must be done to build up
the country; something must oe done to
make farming as a pursuit more attract
i've to young men; something must be
done to restore the now lost balance be-
tween the farm and town.
Nowadays everything is measured in
money, every upation-all industries
are weighed in the crucible of dollars
and cents.
Report says there is no money in farm
ing, hence, a general exodus from the
field to the factory, from the field to the
bar, the schoolroom or anything that Of
fers a chance to win money.
Some means must be found whereby
agriculture can be made profitable, or
that industry will continue to langush.
And when the bottom is reached both
country and tOwn-farmer, merchant,
manufacturer-will realize the fruition
of the fatal policy now working toward

Dies Hating the Preachers.

William Steel, the banker who died
recently in San Rafael, CAL, leaving
an estate of 100000, often expressed
an aversion to ministers, and his will
just filed for probate proves that be
meant just what he said. The closing
paragraph reads: "And | make the
special request that my body be Gre
mated and that not one copper coin OF
the income of my estate be expended
upon or in any lchapel or church, or
upon the support or encouragement,
directly or indirectly, of any so-called
minister of the gospel, or on mission
ares of any sect, for the whole tribe
of whom | entertain a sincere, we'll
founded and unconquerabla aversion,
because during my lifetime | found
that both the men and women preach
ers did not know about what they were
talking.

Rats on ice presented a novel spec
tacle the other day to some of the resi-
dents on South Tenth street. One of
these, carrying in an extra supply of ice
to her refrigel ator, was surprised to see
a large gray rodent squatting on all
fouys on top of block of ice which had
been chopped in the yard receptacle, nor
would he move at the word OF command,
simply winking at her until dislodged by
means of clothesprop. Even whsn
chased out of the back gate the rat did
not run away, but, with his gaze on the
iceman, followed him to the next stop
ping place, where he again ensconced
himself on top of an ice block. 1t is
supposed that the extreme heat drove
the rodent to seek this relief.-Phila-

A Grow lIatchery.l

An Altoona, Pa, dispatch of a recent
date states that James Billings, of Brook
Vile, has made contract with New
Y ork millinery firm tc furnish crow
heads at 25 cents apiece. Billings has
devised a scheme by which maximum
number of crows heads can be secured
at minimum expense. He has set up
a chicken incubator in which have been
placed the eggs of about 100 crows.
Billings has 125 crows altogether. With
in fifteen days the little creatures are
hatched. and eight weeks later they will
be ready to be beheaded. 1t is under
stood that the head of crow chick is
worth just as much as those Of the
adult. Billings has the only crow
hatchery in the world.
