Y?rhen these are established, the Company reserves to itself the right of changing the terms under which the presses can thei,*be obtained. The 500 presses to be first established i will be distributed through the cotton ' states in the ratio of the cotton crops raised in each; and the policy of the Georgia and Carolina Planters Company will be to distribute the presses through different portions of their territory. Under the favorable terms offered, and judging from the applications now on hand, the Company expects to h?,ve more applications for > presses than the numbers which will b? ; allowed them under the present offer-, Notice is therefore given that contracts will be made in the order in which tha applications are received; the Com- j pany reserving -to itself, the right of j determining how many presses they 1 . -> r-T. ftrsa neighborhood. Hi&y ivufcuc a.nj uv?0 r It is not only the settled policy of the Planters Company, but it is a part of . their written contract that the local companies shall never voluntarily ac- , quire or be interested in any form of cotton. The only exception to this rule will be in case, probably remote, that the' company may have to take a smal \ amount of cotton in settlement of some debt, and that the company may find ; It necessary to buy seed cotton to gin ! for the purpose of illustrating the work-' i Lng of the press, but except for such cases, the Company has got to keep out < of the cotton business.

THE DO-WRY BALE i < I I || 1 1 , PRICES. i As to the ~"i?<^?fcj:or the bale, It need only be n 11 on< ~ in, ,,h l I In Northern mills have already, lng, offered to pay 1-4 cent per pound, more for the cotton la this form, In addition to which, however, there may be mentioned the fact? fhat Messrs. Inman & Co., of Augusta, Ga., among the largest cotton buyers In the State, have authorized the Planters company to announce their willingness to han"* - 1 ~ KM utia T\a"v 45 eta. uie inc yo-ic cwiu wv v*v*. ? per 100 Its. more for It (or $2.25 per 500 lbs. more for it), than for cotton in square bales. i Perhaps many persons understand the ' round bale, or the cylindrical bale, socalled, as being the result of the Bess^nrstte process and machine, as made by the American Cough Company. It should be remembered, however, that the Liowry machine is an entirely differ ent thing, constructed and operated on radically different principles, and that there is no connection whatever between the two, or between the companies owning and controlling the respectire processes. ITEMS OF INTEREST. The German emperor has just ordered that 10,000 kilogrammes of metal : from the French cannon taken in the I i war of 1S79-71 shall be used for the casting of tie gTeat "kalserglocke," the bell for the new '"Church of the Protestation" at Speyer. The Royal Agricultural society of England has decided not admit to competition at any of Its shows any horses with docked tails. The decision is likely to put a stop to the senseless practice, at least on the other side of the Atlantic. The mc6t expensive m*.t*rlal ever produced for a dress was tfcat purchased by the Empress of Germany last year from Lyons. The material was white eitir hnvaHc hs>vln:r flo?*rs. birds and foliage in relief, and cost 2o pounds a yard, the actual value of the raw silk.' It Is said, being 20 pounds. Mr. Godln, French minister of public works, in a circular addressed to railway boards, urges the construction 01 a la'.-jrer number of corridor carriages, especially third-class, so that by 1900 all fast trains going long distances may be exclusively composed of such carriages.
