Who Is to be tbe successor of Dr. Grler as president of Erskine College? This Is tbe all i (important question that will absorb the attention of tbe Associate Reformed cburcb until tbe election is held at tbe approaching , meeting of the Syuod. A thoroughly qualified man in mind and heart, is needed to , meet the case. A man with a broad mind and a big heart, a heart full of sympathy for | a struggling student and who Is ever ready to cheer and encourage blm In bis efforts to reach upward. A level beaded man. a man , of equanimity, a man who controls with his | heart rather than with an Iron hand.

SQUARE BALES BEST. Nome Fuels Worthy of Carefnl Con* Iteration? .Merits of Nqnnre nnd IIoihhI Hales Contrasted ami Superiority of the Former Pointed Out?Farmers Shonld Stick to It. Columbia Record. Here are Rome plain, pertinent facts, worthy of careful consideration by everybody In the South, whose Interests are connected with cotton: That you can Rell cotton 9nywhere, provided It Is put. up In square bales. It represents so much money and Is a commercial package recognized the world over. That the owners of the round bale patents alone create the market for such packages. That the round bale Is sold In Liverpool at prices less than the square bale. That cotton put up In round bales doeR not brine more money to the producer than staple baled In square packages. The 45o differential advertised by the trust. Is a snare. They offer 15c more for round than "their limits" fr\r> ontiorA haM All hnt Kotr '? on?? "their limits" for square cotton are. That the round bale in a trust. That the Introduction of round bale presses means the establishment, not only of a cotton trust, but a seed trust, an oil trust, a ginning trust, and tho utter annihilation of every small glnner In the cotton belt. That If you put in a round bale preRs at a plant having tho capacity of 3,000 bales, you will pay S3.000.U0 a year to the trust for a machine actually worth JoOO.OO, aod even then the trust owns the machine. That the standard 24 x 54 bale will net the farmer 82.32 more than a round bale. That it willinterest anyone dependent upon the cotton trade to read how and by whom the great cotton trust was formed. That the cotton exchanges ot the country and the elnners unanimously endorse tbe standardizing of the cotton bale to 24 x 51 inches. That a square bale will not disintegrate In case of damage in a ship's hold. It is bound with Iron ties. That under similar conditions a round hale will disintegrate. It hits nothing but a light covering to hold it together. That a roundlap bale has only a thin covering of cotton material to hold it intact. A square bale Is bound with Iron ties. A roundlap bale will unroll In case of Are. A square bale cannot unroll. That this objection of unrolling In case of fire makes It very difficult to discharge a roundlap bale from a ship's bold. That the thin wires which are alleged to bold a Lowry bale are easily burned through In case of Are. The Lowry bale will then become elongated like an nncolled spring. It Is as bard to discharge an elongated Lowry bale from a ship's bold as It Is to discharge an unrolled roundlap bale In case of fire. That tbe difficulty of sampling a round bale operates against tbe chance of making spot sales of such cotton. That foreign spinners are dissatisfied with their experiences with the round bale. That In case of fire the spaces between the round bales act as flues and carry the flames through press, warehouse or ship's bold. The standard bale admits of no air passage. They stow closely one against the other. That tbe round bale companies say they will pay port prices at interior points. Do not be deceived. They will only give yon a cold-blooded classification. If your cotton classes barely middling they will grade at low middling and pay you for it as such. They will not pay you any premium for extra staple or for the quarter grades. That one per cent, tare claimed by the trust In favor of the round bale is a claim set up by themselves alone. No recognized authority, Individual, body or association has ever fixed the tare on a round bale package at one per cent. That round bales average 250 pounds In weight. Square bales average 500 pounds In weight. It takes as much time and as muoh labor to handle the one package of half the weight as the other with twice the weight. This means a difference in cost of handling In favor of the square bale. That subjecting damp cotton, Just picked from the field, to the heavy pressure necessary under the round bale system, presses the oil from the fibre, mats the llnl and causes vegetable decomposition. That this decomposition on round bales runs from twenty to one hundred pounds. ItisjuBttbat much cotton absolutely lost. That the round bale system does not allow the cotton to dry out. The very opposite is true with the square bale. Tbat the rouad bale 1b purely an exhibition bale- Handle "with cnre and no hooks" is the only way to treat them. It cannot be treated as an article of oommerce, but must be bandied as a work of art. Tbat Anally, to allow the Introduction of a round press gin In your plant means the revolutionizing of your business, the risk of putting yourself wholly In the bands of a gigantic trust, the positive loss tbat you will sustain, for reasons shown herein, and the almost certainly of the trust treating you Just as scores of glnners have been treated after they had been Imposed upon by the trust agents.

VAVIXt V'iHHiinkn Chnrsrcn Acted on Yeoter day by Committee?Report De Clares Capiat u Hnndlcott Should Have Been Admitted?Sayi Holmei'* Diagnosis Wan Wrong Allanu Constitution. The charges brought against the Gradj Hospital by Dr. VIsanska have been flnallj acted on by the hospital commltteeof tbe citj council. Tbe committee met at the olty hall yester day afternoon and adopted tbe following report to be submitted to the council nex Monday afternoon: On complaint of Dr. 8. A. Visanska agalnsl the Grady Hospital, thecoramtttee begs to re port that in Its Judgment tbe case of Captalr Handicott was a proper one for hospital treat ?- ~ ?Konn Koan falron In T T n H O' UJCUb auu buuuiu uc??v tuavii iu| w wmvi the present rales of tbe hospital and tb< diagnosis of tbe ambulance surgeon be coulc not have been taken. Tbe committee be lleves, however, that Dr. Holmes, the ambul ancesurgeoD, erred in hlsdlagnoslKOf the cas< and think that when the authorities of th( hospital had their attention called to tbe fnc they should have Investigated tbe matter be fore refusing tbe patient admission. Those present at the committee meetlnf were Chairman Roy, Councilman Pope Adair, LaHatte. and Alderman Kilpatrlch fought the report as framed, but tbe majority was against him and be was theonly negatlvi voter on its passage. When tbe meeting was called to ordei Chairman Hoy announced that the investlga tlon would not be re-opened, but that tb< committee bad been calledjtogetber merely t( frame a report. It will be remembered tha tbe committee conducted a full investlgAtior of t he charges some lime ago, and afterwardi found that it bad no authority to proceed lr tbe premises because tbe paperB had nevei teen referred to it by council. Tbe forma charges of Dr. Vlsanska therefore went be fore tbe council at its last meetfng and wer< referred to the hospital committee giving 1' authority to Investigate. As the lnvestiga lion proper had already taken place, the com mlttee agreed with Chairman Roy yesterdaj afternoon that there was no need for farthei evidence. WANTED THE OTHER SIDE. Dr. Vlsanska was present at the meetlni and made a short statement, claiming thai the hospital authorities should have taken his patient, Captain Handlcott. The hospital was not represented, and Alderman Kilpatrlck asked Chairman Roy 1 the hospital authorities nad been notified o the meeting. "No they have not," was the reply, *'It wai not the Intention to take !any evidence thlf afternoon. We have already done thai work.". "Well, I move this matter be posponed un til the hospital people can be given a chance to be beard," said Mr. Kllpatrlck with some feeling." There was no second to the motion and il was theefore never put. Councilman Pope then wrote out the foregoing report and II was adopted. The public is already familiar with the grounds for the charges of Dr. Visanska Some weeks ago he was called to the bedside of Captain Handloott, of tbe Hal nation Army He diagnosed tbe case f pulmonarj hemorrhage, and thought best to send the nAtlAnl krtanltal mharn ha rtnilM Pflfiolvo patlGUb tu bUO UVOpiWIl T uotv UV WMtu ?vw. * v treatment tbat his surroundings at bomf would not permit. Dr. Holmes, tbe ambulance Burgeon, answered tbe call with tbe ambulance, and after examining; tbe patient refused to tab* blm to tbe hospital on tbe grounds be bad tuberculosis, and tbat tbe bospltal would not take Incurable cases. Tbe bospltal autborl ties accepted tbe diagnosis of Dr. Holmes and refused to admit tbe patient, whereupon Dr Vlsanska preferred obarges against tb< management of tbe hospital. Tbe case bai attracted mucb attention, and It is probabli tbe bospllal authorities will flgbt tbe report o tbe committee In tbe council Mondaj afternoon. SECOND WEEK JURORS.
