Cotton Mills and Cotton Gins.

We see from the newspapers that the cotton
mill people want TO get nearer to the cotton
field by controlling the gins.
This newspaper does not pretend to know
how a change could be brought about, but
we believe the Cotton Mills will! or can make
great advances along that line.
We believe that every cotton mill should
have a ginnery n an Oil mill connected
with 1t.
Now the Mills pay about So for the bagging
and ties on every bale. This is almost q total
loss to the mill. A mill, then that uses ten
thousand bales pays S2O,OO0 for bagging and
ties, nearly all OF which is q total loss.
lis cotton mill had a cotton gin and an oil
mill, the cotton mill could gin and pack the
cotton free of all cost to such customers as
sold their cotton and seed 10 the mill. The
mill could wrap in paper the bales that they
buy at almost no cost.
II the mill that gins it should buy it, why
should cotton be extensively baled 30 as To
bear shipment across the ocean?
This newspaper would not undertake to 60
into details, but the result is Feasible and the
time is coming when the plan will be adopt.
ed.
For instance: The Abbevllle Cotton Mil
consumes about as much cotton as is sold In
this market. Why should not the cotton
mill gin the cotton, and, pay more for 1t when
wrapped in paper bags than they would pay
for the same some where the tare on bagginR
Is so great?

A man came into the Press and Banne,
Office one day lsst week and surprised the
printing man by his very pronounced speech
about some ''progrums.' for which he was
enquiring. The devil couldn't get the
office shooting iron in working order befors
the man made his escape and he has not been
heard FROM.
We couldn't get off a "telegrum" tc
have him arrested at the next station,
and 80 we suppose he Is, by this time. safely
on the soil of the empire State Of Georgia,
still making tracks toward the setting sun.
The artillery of the Press and Banner Is now
IN fine condition for doing prompt and

JRdGe Ernest Gary.

Although competent and active, Judge En-
nest Gary Is to have opposition in the cleo
tion OF his successor at the approaching
session OF the legislature.
1t will be remembered that Judge Gary re-
fused 10 oppose his predecessor, Judge Joseph
I. keIshaw, in case be desired reelection
aud 1t was only after that eoie and faithfu.
Judge had decided that he did not wish TO
be reelected that Judge Gary consented for
his name to be mentioned in connection with
the Judgeship. 1t would be a pleasure TO
know that Judge Gary would be treated
with the same distinguished consid Grafton.
After the election, Judge Gary commenced
his Judicial career at Camden, the home OF
Judge Kershaw, who introduced him to ths
Bar In open Court as his friend, and paid a
high tribute to his qualifications for thai
exalted office. In after years no doubt Judge
Gary would be proud to show the same con-
rideration TO his successor. Judge Gary had
opposition when he was fret elected, but he
received one hundred votes more than his
opponent.
Fearless in the administration Of Justice,
courteous to the members Of the Bar. presid-
ing with dignity, and ever reeardtul Of the
convenience and comfort of jurors and wit
nesses it would be a matter of regret If the
State should be deprived of his services.
The promptness with which he dispatches the
business Of the Court saves many dollars 10
the taxpayers, and his ability is attested by
the numerous cases in which his decisions
have been affirmed by the Supreme Court.
There are many qualifications necessary
for an eminent and successful judge, and 1t
is impossible to foretell with accuracy wheth.
er they will manifest themselves in a judge,
until he has stood the test. We know that
Judge Gary possesses such qualifications.
He is in the prime OF life, OF robust consti-
tuition, and many friends hope that he may
continue to adorn the bench for a long time
yeti to come.

The Cotton Crop.

The weather is most favorable for The
gathering of the cotton crop. AS a resI!;
great quantities OF it is being brought 10
market. Owing to causes unknown TO US,
the price goes down steadily.
Reports say that the crop will be short
again, but we have lost confidence in the
correctness of cotton prospects. We believe
that planters always gather less than they
expected. or that the crop is short. .

{" Sir, You Gave Me
 $45,000 Too Much J
BOY DISCOVERS CASHIERS eR RoR AND PROMPTLY RE-
 TURNS THE MONEY.

Louisville, Aug. 27-"You have giv- en me s45,000 too much money" said Harry s. Cassin, as he returned to the Southern National Bank a package of bills which had been given to him as s5.000 and really contained $50,000.
 Cassin is only sixteen years old and is employed as arunner by the First National Bank. He surrendered the fortune which had come into his hands through a mistake as calmly as if he had been correcting a mistake in change at a lunch counter.
 He is a son of Henry B. Cassin, United States Commissioner, and has been working only a short time. He was sent to the Southern National Bank with check for sS2. 300. and presented it for payment 10 H. D. Ormsby. the cashier. Mir. Ormsby made the payment in patches of bills containing s40o. He counted ou. sixty-five of the packages and paid the remaining s4OO in lose bills. While checking off the count of MT. Ormsby, Cassin noticed that one of the pack. ages was different in appearance from the rest and took it up to examine it more closely. To his surprise, he found that it was marked s50,000."
 Tt is a very natural mistake" said the boy. and any person is likely to make the same kind of a blunder in handling bills which have been assort- ed and placed in packages. It did not occur to me that there was any thing remarkable in the experience and immediately turned the bills over to the proper owner"

he could not get a fair trial at this time. He intimated that he would probably appear at the next term of court. Swain said that he felt sure he could not give another bail bond and that failure to do so would re suit in his being confined in dirty jail with common criminals" He therefore decided to keep away for the present.
 It is said that MT. Ives submitted the letter to Judge Davis as soon as he received it.
 Subsequently another sensation was sprung. It is now asserted that the bond for 5000 given for Swain's ap pearance is worthless. It Is said that Swain never signed the bond himself and that through the ignorance of the committing justice of the peace it is no good.
 Much excitement prevails over this turn in the affairs. but it is believed the grand jury wiA ignore the absence of Swain and proceed with the in quisition.

Indiana Corporations
 Against Democrats
REPUBLICANS HAVE BEEN WORK. ING ON BIG CORPORATIONS.
Railroad Companies Believe the Elec- ton of Democratic Candidate For Governor Would Be lnimical to Their Interests.

New York, Aug. 27.-Chairman Cor telyou of the Republican national committee, has told President Roose- welt that so far as the corporations can control the election. Indiana is safely a Republican state.
 The deal has baen made. The Indiana Republicans who have been watching the situation are assured that all the corporation influence in the state will be thrown for the Re publicans James A. Hemenway, the Chairman of the House Committee on Appropriations, wsilI leave for h. diana this morning. He is satisfied. Chairman Cortelyou is satisfied. The Democrats who have had the same mission here are depressed. They have failed practically in the negojia- tions, and Chairman Tsggart will have to fight for every vote he gets.
 The railroads, which are the prin- cipal controlling interests in the state, have decided that il will be. dsadvan- tageous for them to have John Kern, the Democratic nominee for Governor, elected. The decision to throw their influence to the Republicans does not rest so much on the Roosevelt end of the campaign as on what the railroads may say is a movement for "self-in- terest" so far as the state is con- cerned.
 Some time ago those Republicans who are interested in carrying the state for Roosevelt, in electing as many Republican representatives in Congress as possible and in getting a Republican Legislature which will not only elect a successor to Senator Fair. banks, if he is made vice president, but a successor to Senator Beveridge as we'll. got into communication with the railroad officials. They told the railroad men that Kern had publicly expressed himself as being in favor of a most drastic railroad law and had ideas about the state control of rail roads that went beyond even those O. La Folette. the Republican anti-rail road Governor of Wisconsin.
 These Republicans offered proof iu the shape of public utterances of Kern and gave in detail his plan for a rev. olutioDary railroad commission.
 The railroads checked up this infor nation. They found, it is said, that
 
 Kern had some railroad ideas that the railroad officials consider incendiary Consequently. after getting the oTigi nal information and verifying it, the railroads, within the last forty-eight hours, have told Chairman Cortelyot and the Republicans of Indiana sent here to watch developments that they will do all that they can to defeat Kern. The defeat of Kern propose. the defeat of the Parker and Davi! electoral ticket.
 Chairman Taggart knows of this de termination, and so do the member of the executive committee of tht Democratic national committee. The, have not given up fight in Indiana b, any means. They will maks as strong campaign there as in any state in tn, Union, and they have hopes the rail roads will rot be able to deliver tn votes they claim they can.

Nogales. Arifi., Aug 2I-The sensa- ton of the opening of court here this week was the announcement that L. F. Swain, the cashier of the defuEci International Bank had not turned up for trial.
 Swain is accused of fraud and ir- regularity in connection with the fall ure of the bank of this city and was confined in jail for some time anc subsequently released on 5000 bail
 His trial was set for this term ot court, and the belief was general that he would turn up and face the music, as he was vociferous in bis assertions that he only courted an opportunity to prove that he had not been guilty of wrongdoing, or was in any way respon- sible for the fearful collapse of the International Bank.
