 Of the several bates of cotton sold here Saturday. one lot of eight bales attracted attention by reason of a wrangle between the buyer and seller as to the number of pounds each bale Snoud oe ne ar baS an out in the weather since and conse- duently much of the lint was unfit for use An export buyer who had con- tracted for the cotton declined to ac- .cept 1t unless it was docked $146 on the lot The list was finally sold to the local mill at 10 cents, with the under standing that all the lint unfit for use should be stripped from the bales. This was done and the loss amounted to only about 100 pounds per bale, or $50 on the lot. but even this amount would would have shsltered the cotton and farm implements as well.

A MARKED CHANGE.
The Improvement on the Triangle on
 South Court Street.

Editor The Advertiser: s.
 Permit me to voice a feeling of sin cere gratitude Whereas, a week ago an appearance of litter and neglect was presented at the pretty triangle formed by South Court, Lee and Church Streets; now this locality resembles any one of the beautiful spots which render Wash- ington the most attractive city in Amer ica. In lieu of melon rinds, tin. cans. paper shreds and "sech like" ornaments, there are tidness. green grass spark ling with diamond drops of artesian water, cooling tree shadows unsmirched by trash, and an amplitude of green, blessing the eye of all who look, and speaking unutterable things to those who have the spiritual ears to hear.
 We owe thanks to somebody and l beg to thank the Sanitary Department. the Water Works Department and the Acting Mayor. If anybody else has CO., operated, we thank him also
 Now, let the Chief of Police charge the officer detailed to that beat. with the duty of parking country wagons down on the east side of Lee Street Also of instructing country visitors how to enjoy the shade of this lovely oasis without littering the green carpet and warn~the street car motormen to go slow where preachers and teachers are imparting the wisdom of Heaven to those who are to be the future citi- zens of this fair city, and then many others will join in this expression of appreciation of duty, well done. The Houston Fountain deserves to be taken care of.
 A Grateful Citizen.
The Montgomery advertiser., 1905-07-22

The New York Mail declares that the people up there who speak of their hot weather. as tropical" or southern" do the South and the tropics grave in- justice. It gives figures from weather reports to show that on Monday last the average temperature in fifteen south ern cities, going as far South as New Orleans, was fraction above S7 de- grees. while in fourteen Eastern cities the average was s9.7. In the West and Northwest the average was one de- gree higher than in the East. It was twelve degrees hotter in St. Paul than in New Orleans, and reports from va rious cities North, East and West show that the heat was not only much more oppressive than in the South, but was actually higher. When we read the fearful reports of deaths from heat in Northern cities we can feel more than ever thankful that we live in the South where sunstrokes and heat fatalities are almost unknown. ..... ..-.-...- -

Improved Sewing Maebsue.

It is announced that a Lancashire. England. mechanic, Dennis Flanagan, has invented what has long been need ed but unsuccessfully attempted-a machine which will sew direct from two reels of thread. thus obviating the winding of spools and threading of shuttles. Experts are quoted to the effect that if the invention is put on the market in a thorough manner 1t will revolutionize the sewing machine trade of the world It Is said that MT. Flanagan has been experimenting since 1889. and that owing to the ma chine sewing direct from two reels of thread there Is an absence of compli cated mechanism, in consequence of which there Is little chance of Its get ture Is the very small number of parts required in its construction. and as the cost of production will. comparatively speaking, be small. 1t is expected that the contrivance will be put on the mar ket at a price far below that charged for most sewing machines.

Dr. Wilson doesn't be- lieve In style and plainly says so Tt sets a limit to expression ard sets a wet blanket on thought" is his way of looking at 1t. and he Is right. TO confine all writers for newspapers-the editors, the reporters and the para graphers, to the ponderous style of Dr. Johnson. or to the exact and strict rules of grammar would take half the inter est from our newspapers. What the editor or the reporter wants Is to ex- press himself so that all will under- stand him, and if his language is in clined to bs breezy 1t Is all the more readable. We have no taste for the wet blanket in newspaper work.
