$1,000, 900 Compress Merger.

100000 Compress Merger.
A New Orleans company, which
controls the Luce system of compress
ing cotton, and Little Rock concern
which controls another system, will
be merged into a 100000 corpora
ton with headquarters in New Orleans
and then campaign will be started
to introduce the system into every
cotton gin in the south. The two
systems are somewhat similar, but
each had some advantage over the
other; and, by combining, it is claim
ed the best of the two will be in
cluded in one device. The new system
will permit of 100 bales of cotton be-
ing placed on one car, and this means
enormous saving in local and ocean
freights. 1t is claimed that this pro-
cess will solve the question which
seemed to be uppermost in the minds
Of the English spinners ON their re-
cent visit to the souh-that of i'm
proper packing of the cotton. w. G.
Wilmot, of New Orleans, is now in
Chicago perfecting details of the new
corporation.
The Little Rock Company is the
Thomas Gin Compress Company. DIR.
A. D. Thomas, who lives at 1118 Cum
berland street, Little Rock, is the in
ventor of a machine to compress the
bales at the gin. Some time ago the
Luce company in New Orleans was
sued by the Little Rock company for
alleged infringements of the Thomas
patents.
Recently overtures were made look
ing toward the consolidation of the
two companies, and the details of the
consolidation have been arranged, so
it is stated by DR.. A. D. Thomas. The
new company will be known as the
Southern Gin Compress Company.
The consolidation OF the two inter-
ests will not affect Little Rock. 1t
means simply that the new company
will use the patents of the Little
Rock company The Thomas Gin
Compress Company will not be moved
from Little Rock. DR.. Thomas con-
firmed the statement in the New Or
leans special to the effect that a cam
paign to place the compress in COM
mon use throughout the south will be
commenced at once.
Intend To Build Interurban Line.
w. F. Campbell of Redeld announces
that the Pine Bluff-Litt1e Rock Tran
sit Company, a company which intends
to build an interurban line from Pine
Bluff to Little Rock, has already been

cording to the statements of Mr.
Campbell, who is president of the
company, it is the intention to begin
work on the line as soon as all of the
right-of-way is secured.
