COTTON DIRECT TO SPINNERS.

COTTON DIRECT TO SPINNERS.
Birmingham Age Herald: Geo Nc
Elderly, who has returned from Europe
where he went as a delegate to the In
ternational Cotton Congress. talks III
terestlngly of some things he learned Of
interest to our farmers while abroad
This meeting advised the English spin
ncrs of the condition and difficulties
surrounding the cotton producer and
brought the farmer and the spinner
closer together The English mill men
were surprised to learn that the three to
five pounds added to the weight of A
bale of cotton by the old jute rags
patched on to it, was the work of the
compressmen. and not the farmer
McElderly emphatically says that it
will pay the Southern farmer to sell and
ship his cotton direct to the spinners at
Manchester, rather than Liverpool, and
that cotton can be sold in the fields, or
at the nearest railroad station, direct to
the consumers at Manchester, thereby
saving more than one dollar per bale
over shipment to Liverpool. The lat
ter city, he says, is full of commercial
bandits, as in the New York cotton
houses, who must have their 'rale-of"
under the guise of all sorts of wharf
age, carriage. dockage tare. losses and
brokerage charges.
The resolution passed by the Interna
tional Cotton Congress abolishing the
6 per cent tare, and favOring the
American classification as the standard,
will enable the farmers to use for bal
ing either cotton bagging. burlap or pa
per, without deduction for weight or
loss of any kind, and more valuable than
this it will enable the unlearned pro-
Queer to know what grade of cotton he
has for sale, and the value of the staple,
before he offers it for sale. This in
formation can not be too widely dissem
mated and is of great Importance to the
South.
The priceless result of the congress
was practically to eliminate the inter
mediary, and make sales from first
hands i'll the fields to the splnners pos
sible, practical and easy, and that alone,
in the opinion of Nc Elderly, will be
worth $5ooooooo annually to the South.

KNIGHTS OF ST.
JOHN AND MALTA
One Of the Oldest and Least Heard of
Fraternal Orders in Marshall

The Marshall Messenger of recent

Blocker Encampment was organized
some twenty-five years ago, and soon at
forwards the office decided that Mar

refused to take any more members, but
those who had joined were, of course,
retained, an dthe Encampment is still
