Mr. .1 II W Steele, Secretary of the Texas Standard Bale Com~ j press Association, in a letter writ- J ten to the West Times, Jane 30, * says: "Let me say a plain word j to the plain people: For the same reason that you pay more for a , good cop* h?n you would for a ; rallied and sleezy one, so will the i English and German spinner pay yon more for a neat, dense, well t covered hale than ho will for what is left of an unsightly bag, which has lost half :ts value by wet, j waste, pilfery and dirt." For exactly this reason spinners pay more for iioundlap than for square bales of any size whatever. I It is precisely because lionndlap hales aro "neat, dense, well cover- 1 cd," protected against fire, moist- 1 ure, waste, theft and damage, that i they are worth more to spinners than an "unsightly" square "bag which has lost half its value by wet, waste, pelfery and dirt." It is precisely for this reason, also, and because of the savings made in the wrapping, handling and shipment of Houndlap bales that ; buyers are able to and do pay for ! them a premium above the va'ue of square bales sufficient to pay the lulling charge and leave the owner a substantial profit besides, j ? It is an open question whether j the recent genotally favoraf>le weather has caused cotton to re- 1 cover in condition what it lost during dune. In spots it undoubtedly has done so, while on wet bottom lands in the States of Louisiana and Mississippi it has continued to deteriorate, and in theso States the crop will he smaller than usual. Texas and Arkansas, and portions of the Atlantic States have average crops, hot generally the crop averages low. Shedding is reported from all sections, hut not moro than iiciinl /? lun nrilBIIII, VyOllOn IS lfl some States opening prematurely, but generally the crop is later than usual. Since 1895 German firms have sold 400,000 Mausers to the Glri nese, and now Emperor YVillielm tells his soldiers to go and take the guns away from them.

Blood Poisoning Results From a Scratch. Laborer Killed, by Lightning. Special to The State. Kock Hill, Aug 4.? Mr S Augustus Matthews of Ebenezer met with nn accident some two weeks ago, as a result of which ho has already lost his right arm, and will in all probability lose his lifo. in handling a pick ho pinched right severely the skin between the thumb and forefinger. It was at first not regarded as serious, but in a few days the swelling and pain became so great that physicians wero consulted. After aonio time they decided to amputate the whole arm at the shoulder. This was done, but there appears to Ifc little hope of the recovery of the patient. While hurrying to get out of the shower which came up suddenly this afternoon, two laborers on the farm of Maj A 11 White, were struck by lightning One of them, Sam White, was instantly killed as was the mule upon which ho was mounted. The other negro, George Meat-ham, fared Home better. Ho was tor ribly shocked ; but may possibly recover. The mule upon which he rode was killed. ? W. A. 1*. NO Uioil l TO UG&IXKKS.
