HOW MANY BALES?

While everybody is making an es-
innate on the present cotton crop it
is interesting to note what the mem
bers of the Memphis cotton exchange
have given as their estimate.
Every year the members of this or
ganization make an estimate. Last
year the average was only 82,970
bales from the actual crop, and the
year before only 89,672 bales. The
records show that the Memphis cot
ton exchange figures come nearer the
actual crop than those of any other
cotton exchange, commercial organi-
zation, or person or firm who make
an estimate on the crop.
Here are the estimates in a general
average:

1t is surprising to hear that nearly
$4,000 Spanlards entered Cuba as i'm
migrants during the last fiscal year to
only 5000 from all other countries COM
bined. We licked the Span1ards IN be-
half of the insurgent Cubans, but it
seems we are finding out that the for
mer are much the better people, the
latter largely representing the turbu-
lent lower classes and negroes. Many
competent observers declare that the
Spaniards are the most industrious and
stable portion of the islands popula-
ton. These stuck to Spain because
they desired a stable government and
for the same reason they are now more
favorably disposed than any other
class toward American control. Strange
as it may seem when taken in connec-
ton with the view hitherto prevailing
in the United States, all accounts go
to show that the more Spaniards there
are in Cuba the better for that country.

THE COTTON GROWERS UNION.

The cotton growers of this state-at
least those who have become members
of the ASSOCIATION to prevent the cotton
crop from being saer ficed-are satisfied
that their organization has been of con-
siderable benefit to them already.
This has not been a very good year in
which to give 1t trial. The price of
cotton was good at the opening of the
season, and there was no reason why
cotton should be held back. Later on.
however, the price fell somewhat, and
then the teachings and influence of
the association had good effect. AS
the price dropped the receipts at the
ports fell off. The effect of this policy
was soon felt, and the price began to
advance again. Now it Is pretty near
ly as high as 1t has been at any time
during the season
II the association is managed wisely
it can be made to help greatly in keep
ing up the price of cotton. 1t stands to
reason that if the crop is sent to market
as it is needed 1t will command bet
ter price than If it is nearly all dumped
on the market within a period of two
or three months.
In the speeches that were made at
the Macon meeting on Tuesday the
fact was recognized that if more cotton
were made than the world wanted the
price of it is certain to be low, even
though it is sent to market only as the
mills want it. The Cotton Growers
Association, therefore, should use its
infusnce to keep the crop down to
about what the world will take at a
price that is remunerative to the plant
ers. The way to do this is to give less
attention to cotton and more to grain
and stock. When the planters raise
enough grain, hay and meat for their
home needs, and depend on cotton fol-
what money they need, they will be
the most independent class of people
In the world. 1t must be said to their
credit that they are dIversifying THEN
crops now more than ever before. and
1t is probable that they are more pros
porous than at any time since the wal
of secession.
The Cotton Growers Association
will, under proper management, be &
power for good. 1t has started of
well, and the indications are that il
will render a good account of. itself

STUDENTS AND A SKELETON.
Objectionable Fun On Board a faiia-
deiphia street Car.

de1pbfa street car.
(From the philadelphia Reeord)
Two young men who must have been
medical students boarded an AngOra car
late Sunday night with a fully articulated
skeleton. Each had one arm linked with
that Of the skeleton, whose bones ratified
grewsomely as they walked to the for
ward end Of the car and gravely seated
themselves with their inanimate eompan-
ion between them. Between the grinning
teeth Of the skeleton was a cigarette and
a derby hat adorned its shining skull.
The car was rather crowded, and the 9TH
er passengers, most OF whom we're men.
gazed in open mouthed establishment at
the spectacle. The two young fellows.
however, pretended to be unconscious OF
their surroundings, and held such con-
verse with the skeleton as Too bad you
didn't wear your macintosh, Bill. I'm
afraid youn catch cold" or Say. Bill,
better throw away your cigarette or the
conductor will put you Off" When the
conductor came through for the fares one
of the young men handed him Is cents.
and he rang up three fares without a
word Of comment. At Sixteenth Street
young girl entered the car and looked
around for a seat. Here. BILL exclaim-
ed one of the students. where's your gal
Iantry? Get up and give the lady seat"
Then he yanked the skeleton out Of its
place and set it on his knees. The girl
gave one screech. fled to the back plat
form. and insisted that the conductor stop
the car and put her off. "Geei Billi' re-
marked the student, gazing reproachfuliy
into the skeletons face, you've deterio-
rated. You used to be quite a lady's
man" Then everybody laughed.

AN ARTIFICIAL SPINE.
Design of "a Method to support south
ern Cotton PicISers.


The cotton pickers of the South. who uc-
cupy a STOPPING posture all day long dur
ing the picking season. have an unusually
heavy strain placed upon the muscles of
the back, which becomes so fatigued as to
incapacitate the pickers for rapid work.
To avoid this Samuel c. Potts, Of Apple
Valley, Ga. has devised an artificial spine
of metal for the pickers, which transfers
the strain Of STOPPING from the naturally
weak muscles Of the back to the strong,
stout muscles Of the shoulders and thighs.
This he sccomplishes by means Of a har-
ness-like arrangement, which consists of
fiat flexible steel support. with the neces-
sary bands and straps to secure 1t to the
body. The upper crossbar IS fitted TO slide
along the spine support, accommodating
itself to the curvature Of the back. There
is a hole in each end of il. through which
straps pass and these are fastened around
the shoulders The lower bar is fixed and
terminates in two rings, through which
straps pass which are fastened around the
hips The end Of the spinal support is a
ring. through which two straps pass. and
these are buckled around :he thighs. It is
asserted this harness relieves the back OF
the cotton pickers from the strain Incl
dental to the long maintaining STOPPING
position by transferring it to the stronger
muscles. as above explained.
