SITE IS PURCHASED
New County Home Site Bar
gained For-Big Farm viii
Surround It,

The site for the County hospital"
long known as the county home"
has been selected and the price paid.
1t is $4,000 and the locality nearly
half a mile north Of h city on Blount
street.
The actual site is SO acres and the
commissioners think themselves
lucky to have received SO much realty
Tor SO small an amount Of n
me street a line runs within 1900
feet OF it and it is near the Seaboard's
extension mentioned yesterday.
1t is understood. though this is not
nominated in the bond, nat there will
pc about the county hospital a big
farm. That does not appear to have
been provided for. however. The new
building is to cost about $4,000 and
completed it will SO outshine any
similar structure in North Carolina
that nobody will compare another
with it.
The last grand jury that visited the
present county home, spoke out
squarely against the cottage plan
which is said made distinctly for ii.
health and everything is under one
roof. But there will be a separation
OF tubercular patients and others
under the new arrangement.
Inc commissioner hOpe . sell the
old site for 100000. 1t is considered
fine property. The architects have
not submitted their final plans for the
building but it is likely that they will
do SO this week.
chairman Mills yesterday said OF
the new hospital:
W will make the building a model
IN every respect and it will be abso-
iufely fire-proOf. 1t will have the great
advantages Of the city water, electric
light and also sewerage, It's name
will be the County Hospital, which
we consider much preferable to the
old one. North Biount street extended
Will pass through it. and we wi leave
space for that street"

made a hit every time at the bat.
But he could not run. His girth would
not permit of such activity and he
impressed a House messenger into

tees.

made 10 runs.

Means Loss of Dollars on Each
Bale of Cotton
LETTER FROM MANCHESTER
Asks Secretary Houston 10 In
form Ginners of Necessity
Of Keeping Different Grades
of Cotton Separate,
by The Associated Press

Washington. ID. G., July 12.-Secre-
tary Houston, Of the Department Of
Agriculture, received a protest today
from the Manchester (England) Cot
ton Association against the practice
CERTAIN American ginners have of mix
ing various staple cottons in the same
bale.
You will appreciate" says the let
ter OF protest the serious conse-
must have upon the quality of the
American crop thereby effectively re-
ducing its monetary vaiue."
Secretary Houston is urged to make
representations to the cotton ex-
changes OF the South. asking them to
inform the ginners of the necessity of
keeping different seed cottons Of va
rious staples separate and not to gin
different qualities together.
Where Trouble lies.
At the department it was pointed
out that the trouble was due largely
to tho Discrimination Of the American
Slnner TO take the time after ginning
n kind of cotton to clean out the
ginning machine before he introduces
another sta pie. 1t was said that the
value of a bale is often lesSened from
$1.5O to 81 by resultant mixture Of
grades. II ~ pointed out that cotton
merchants sample from each side of
the bale and rate it by the worst side.
so that the mixture of cotton in the
first layer of a bale would result in
such a bale being rated mixed
whereas probably only ten or twenty
pounds OF it might be mixed staple.
Event I the second run of cotton is
short staple. it loses in value by hay
ing the first layer mixed with any
other kind.
The department urges particularly
unnD Gntfnp %o 1;~o;t All.
cotton growing to n variety. or else
provide themselves with seed cotton
storage houses in which cotton OF a
single staple is stored. Where stor-
age houses are used, the cotton pro-
Queer can take a large quantity at
II time to the gin and be certain it
will not be mixed with previous runs.
Where. however. he takes only a small
quantity OF cotton at a time, all these
bales may have a first layer Of mixed
cotton.
Clean Out Gins.
II also urges cotton producers that
II they cannot provide themselves with
seed cotton storage houses and gin
large quantities at a time, to insist
that the %sinners clean u the ginning
machine and take the old roll Of pre-
y1ous cotton out before ginning new
cotton. This would probably cost the
Ginner "A loss of time-of about $40 a
Jay. but where frequent changes in
cotton are run the losses to the pro-
ducers may well amount to $50 or
more u day.
The presence Of a mixed first LAYER
In cotton bales is eund particularly
series in times when cotton is plenti-
ful. When cotton is scarce. cotton
merchants are not so particular, but
when cotton is plentiful. they use the
presence OF a mixed layer as a wea-
pom to lower the price paid for the
9ntire bale. The loss to the producer
in this way is very heavy.
