TO COTTON GlNNERS.

The past ginning season again demon
strated tho incompatible superiority of
The American Cotton Company's Round
lap bale. Not only were farmers bene-
fitted who had their cotton put up in
Roundlap bales, but even the patrons Of
old style gins proiitcd by tho presence of
Ronndlap competition.
Although last year The American Cot
ton Company largely increased the num-
Der of its presses in tho South-nstall-
ing all that it was able to build-the de
mand in New England and abroad for
cotton balcd by this process greatly ex :
cccded the supply. The Company is pre-
pairing this year to add largely to the
number Of its presses. The Companys
works arc running day and night build
ing presses, which will be leased to re-
Sp0nSiblc ginncrS, who own or are pro-
pared to build modern gin houses in
good cotton districts, on rental which
is ultimately repaid by tho cotton buyer
in the premium for cotton in Roundlap
bales.
Information concerning leases will be
supplied by Messrs. G. f. johnson g.

THE WAR IN SOUTH AFRICA.

Thoro is much interest manifested by
tho Americans in tho war wagcd in South
Africa between tho British and the Beers
and much sympathy is expressed for the
Beers. Our people arc inclined to con-
denim Great Britain for her course in
South Africa. Tho claim is made that
it is war of conquest and greed for en-
pro.
For our part wo sec little difference in
tho spirit manifested by the English to-
wards South Africa and that of the
United States towards the Philippines.
But interest in the conflict of late has
boon enhanced by the absence Of rclia.
bio news from the scene Of war When
u report comes from the Beers we find
light casualties for their army and heavy
loss for tho British; when the report
comes from the British side it is exactly
tho reverse. Still it is evident that the
British have SO far got the worst Of il.
The Beers have proven themselves to be
brave, hardy and plucky fighters. 1t
is also evident they are well otliccrcd.
Still thcy have 4 strong adversary with
almost unlimited resources, and we
can sec but one final result, and that will
DO the success of the British arms. The
war may be prolonged and much loss of
life and treasure cntailcd, but in the end
tho Bocrs must lose. They will be over
powered. Their success in the defence
OF ladySmith is not Il guarantee OF sue
cess on the offensive ut other places.
