Old Point Comfort. Feb. 22.-The
battle ship Connecticut. the flag ship
OF the fleet with admiral Sperry on
the bridge headed the great globe-en-
cally into the Roads today amid the
greatest enthusiasm and the widest
excitement of between twenty and
twenty-five thousand citizens and visi-
tors ending the most spectacular and
successful cruise in history of the
naval world, after covering some
forty-two thousand miles.
Weather Unpleasant.
Early morning conditions pointed to
ideal day, but at 10 O'Clock light
drizzle began and continued through
out the review This marred some
what the great panorama as the tail
of the fleet was at times obscured
and the saluting guns sounded muffl-
ed in the fog. Otherwise the picture
was perfect and the prearranged
schedule was carried out almost to
minute exactness. The Mayflower
with the president ON board faced
south and back of her was massed
the fleet of excursion steamers and
press boats. AS the ships were first
sighted coming up the Virginia capes,
they began firing a presidential sa.
Lutte. vast pail Of smoke hung over
the scene. AS each ship passed the
Mayflower twenty-one guns were fired
and again at 12 O'Clock the national
salute was given in honor of Washing
ton. The fleet filed past in single
formation, at the rate of six miles an
hour and consumed just forty minutes
in passing.

Admiral Sperry boarded the Mayflow.

president. The reception was brief

president proceeded to the flagship
Connecticut where he was received
by Admiral Sperry and his officers
and where he remained some twenty
minutes. The next ship visited was
ync Louisiana WHICH is the IlaSSllI
of the second division and the presi
dental party spent twenty minutes
aboard her.
The flagship of the third division
the Georgia. was visited next. where
an equal amount of time was spent
and the last visit was to the battleshiI
Wisconsin which is the flagship of the
fourth division. After the visit to the
Wisconsin was finished the president
returned to the Mayflower and thai
vessel will leave for Washington late
this afternoon. On each flagship the

Union "Progress'' suggests that
former director Wylie OF Chester,
if he be sincere in his protesta-
tious of contritiou for the sin of
grating, should not only make
restitution 10 the State of all
his ill-gotten gains, which ap-
proximate $4,000, according to
his own confession, but also re-
fuse immunity from the conse-
auences of his self confessed
crime aud don convict's garb.
Then, our contemporary oplnes,
Mr. Wylie would show himself
MAJ. But isn't that setting
the standard pretty high for a
frail, mortal man! How many men
regarded as honest and honorable
would in like circumstances 60 to
the extreme degree of repentance
proposed to Mr. Wylie? Most peo-
pie would be willing to credit Mr.
WYlie's sincerity if he would re-
store the money, even though he
accepted tine clemency extended by
the State. 1t would certainly look
h ard for him, who at least pro-
fesses repentance, to be the only

Of these, Great Britain has sent

Put More Bagging on Your Cotton.

Again We would urge our cotton
growers put on bagging and ties
to the full 6 per cent limit this sea-
son. If you put on less than 6 per
cent-that is to say, 80 pounds on a
500 pound bale, q on a 450-pound
bale, etc-lt is simply matter of
giving the cotton buyer good cotton
worth 124 cents pound when he is
paying you only for bagging and ties
averaging about 81 cents pound.
This is a matter our farmers have
been entirely too slow to understand.
The gist of the whole matter is
simply this: The price of cotton is
always fixed by manufacturers who
buy on basis of 6 per cent deduc-
tion for bagging and ties. That is to
say, they figure on 80 pounds tsre
tor each 500.pound bale; and on each
5OO-pound bale, therefore, they allow
a price for the gross bale sufficient to
pay for only 40 pounds net of lint
cotton. In other words, the price
paid per pound for the whole 500
pounds is lowered so as to allow for
80 pounds tare.
Now, the average farmer instead of
putting 40 pounds of lirt cotton
and 80 pounds of bagging into 500
pound bale, puts in AIS pounds of
cotton aud % pounds of baggiug-
thereby putting in 8 extra pounds of
l2I cent cotton worth 81 instead of s
pounds of bagging aud ties worth Is
cents.
Moreover, all the evidence goes to
show that if the farmer does not pu
on full 30 pounds tare to each 500
pound bale, the exporter adds the
extra 8 or 10 pounds in second -hant
bagging and makes the extra dolla
that really belongs to the fal mer. At
4 meeting of foreign manufacturer:
with representatives of the Farmers
union in Washington City a year OF
two ago, the manufacturers inquired
'Why is it that when cotton leave
the farmers gin it has only 30 to 2;
of fare, but has 81 pounds bv tn
time it reaches us?" This is the ex
PLANTATION.
Put on baggiug to the full 6 pc
cent limit. Mr. Ransom Hinton, q
we'll known North Carolina CO ttor
grower, illustrates the matter YER
clearly when he says: "Suppose yol
were carrying a box of meat to mar
ket ard you knew they would
knock off thirty pounds from tn
gross weight tor the weight of the
box: wouldn't you be foolish to use
only 2O-pound box instead-giv {
them 10 pounds Of meat instead o.
10 pounds of box?'
Even so it is with the farmer whc
gets pay for cotton on a basis of
80 pounds deduction for baggiug
and ties while he puts on only 20
pounds.
Put on all the bagging and ties
that you can buy for q cents a
pound and sell for 124 cents.--Pro-
gressiue Farmer.
