To tho Editor of The Sunday Noyvs f Whey tho "One? ft Week Club" of tho little town of Sencoa, S.

Tho iaot, nevertheless, romains that tho first atop toward concentrating tho club work of womon into a groat unity of effort was taken by tho ?Onco a Week Club." ( From that" small nucleus tho spirit has radiated until now thoro aro eighteen women's clubs, which has ontored tho Federation with an iu orease of intorost in tho work, from tho mountain to tho seaboard, which will doubtless oulminato in additional strength to tho organization and fur thor oxtonsion of its inlluonco. For fear that the objoot of tho Federation and, indoed, of tho clubs thomsolvos, may bo misunderstood it may be ns woll to stato hero that thoy aro not plodgcd to furthor tho causo of woman's suffrago, howovor much in sympathy with that move ment individuals may bo. Tho clubs as organizations aro non-political, and aro organized to furthor tho advance ment of oduoation and everything which tends to bottor tho condition of tho Sta'/o, mentally, morally and socially, and tho work ia as various as tho olubB, extending all along tho lino from thc kindergarten to tho university. In tho interest of this work Mrs. M. W. Cominan,of Soneoa, President of tho South Carolina Federation of Women's Clubs, has spent tho past weok in Charleston, going over thc ground and informing herself as to club matters in this oity. Mrs. Colo man is an oarncst and thorough worker ; a woman who bolioves in tho power of woman to romodel and reconstruct many of tho voxed ques tions of tho day, and sho also strongly advocates the co-ordination and cor relation of forces and tho co-opor? tion of tho various women's clubs through tho Federation, in whioh or ganization all oan lind somo common ground of interest upon which thoj can work for thc greatest good of tlu greatest number/?.nd still adhoro tc their own special and individual work Thoro are two lines upon whicl tho Federation hopes to accomplis! much good in their co-operative work lines upon milich tlioir president ii now earnestly working; thoso aro tlu establishing of freo kindcrgartoni and library extension.

Mrs. Coleman strongly advocate this work, and if nbc can but gain tin co-oporation of tho women of Soutl Carolina tho way will bo mado doa for it. She is also intensely interested ii tho villago improvomont question uiulor which hoad comes tho librar; oxtonsion work, or tho establishing o traveling libraries. Mrs. Coloman i tho mother of this movement ii South Carolina, and under hor abl< management success is assured. Tb clubs which havo takon up civics, o villago improvomont, ns tlioir speoin work aro deeply interested in th Bonding of good literature, ontircl; free, to thoso whom straitened moan or inaccessibility to .libraries hav dobarrod from tho montai food fo which thoy aro starving.

AH tho signs of tho timoB go' tc allow* that tho South ls on tho ovo of a revolution in tho methods of pre paring cotton for the market. Tho Constitution weloomos these signs, for it is certainly timo that such a revolution -mould bo brought about. In tho history of tho world thoro is no parallol to tho oarelCBsW?s atid consequent wastefulness with whioh this valuable crop has been preparod for the markot. Ju tho first piado it has bcon wrap ped in bagging, tho Gbor of which is imported from tho other side of tho world. This fibor being of a ooarso and inforior quality in every way, is usually in a stato of decay boforo it is wrapped around tho halo. Tho re sult is that for fivo gonorations moro than a hundred years-a very largo proportion of the cotton crop has boon pormittod to go to wasto bo tweoon tho farm and its final desti nation. In thc second plaoe,' it has been ginned and paoked without regard to grado or condition, so that fifty pounds'of inferior staple stamps thc whole halo as inforior. Wo repeat that thc. history of tho world's indus tries will show no parallol to thc wanton carelessness with whioh thc most valuablo and important crop ol a groat sootion has been propared foi markot. Millidns of dollars have been thrown to tho wind. Tho signs of tho revolution t< whioh wo refor aro to bo found it the rapid development of tho nov process of baliug cotton, by moans o whioh tho staple is packod in oylind rcbal form and is completely encase-: from ond to end in a covering of cot ton doth of sufficient strength to pro vent all wasto. This process doe away with j uto bagging and ties. Tho advantage to tho farmer o this round bale proooss may bo ver; briofty stated. It docs away with tho oxpons known as taro, whioh amounts t, about 0 per c?ut. A great man farmers (and others, too, who sboul know hotter) have an idea that who tho producer sells his bale of coi ? o ho receives back tho price he hf paid for bagging and ties. In poii of faot this is very oarofully deduotc by tho purchaser. Tho price of co ton is made in Liverpool, and Live: pool buys .nothing but the actual co ton. Thorofore, about 0 por cont deducted fruin ino weight ?? ?Vu? balo. But tho deduction is mado i tho prioo paid for cotton and amoun to from $2 to $2.60 a bale. For instance, a largo cotton-bu; ing firm in Georgia has pledged i self to pay 46 cents moro for ea< 100 pounds of cotton paoked iii tl round balo than for cotton pnokod tho old square bale. This amoun to ?2.25 on each 600 pounds, ai practically represents tho taro th would otherwise bo collootod on t weight of bagging and ties. T amount will go into tho pookct tho fnrmor hiBtoad of coming out it. What, this firm proposed to i othor cotton buying firms will in t ond do, so that, paoked in rom compaot halos, tho cotton crop w put into tho pookots of tho farmer amount which in a 10,000,000-bi crop will roach $2,250,000. Another advantago will bo tho sr ing of tho largo amount of cott whioh, under the old process, 1 boon annually blown to tho fe winds. This waste has boon and now onormous. As cotton is mon especially in the South, it may most bc. said tb at our farmers lu taken pains to throw it away. Th carole8snoB8 in handling and packi tho cotton is so pronounced and : ticoablo. that it might almost ho s lo bu deliberately promeditatod. Thoro is still another advanti which, in tho end, may havo f. v important effeot on tho price of c ton. Tho round bales aro cove with cotton doth, and will, thcrof add considerably to tho consumpt of tho row matorial. Tho round I will, in faot, not only add to tho pi of cotton directly by doing av with tho 0 per cent, taro oxaotcd Liverpool, but indirectly by croat a now domand for tho staple to wo into covorings. Already mills offering a quartor of a ocnt a poi moro for cotton prcBSod in roi bales.

Smyth, Prcsi.dont of tho Polzor Manufacturing Company, and -fl pro minent member of tho United States Industrial Commission, sets forth very dearly, after several months' observation of tho personnel of thc commission and' consideration cf its objoots, what ho beliovos tc bo tho real purposo of its oroation. Ho says : "Tho Industrial Commission is tho outgrowth of Now England joalou&y at tho South's rapid dovolopinu^^ in. cotton manufacturing. With many natural advantages in favor of this part of the country, it is only natural that it should havo outstripped its Northern rival." Ho then sketches tho developments leading to tho appointment of tho commission, and adds : "The Southern pooplo should in terest themselves in this commission. Its final recommendations will affect this part of tho country vitally. They oan work muoh harm or put it on a fair ground of competition. The Northern people do not under stand Southern conditions, I find. Senator Kyle, chairman of tiio com mission, was most thoroughly sur prised when I oxplaiucd that thoro were no tramps in the South, no dis satisfied olasses, and that tho people were working in splendid harmony. Another foaturo of tho investigation, which I shall ondcavor to force on tho commission, is tho negro laboring dement. A majority of tho mom burs of tho coiui'iiissiou havo no vor boen South, and do not understand the oheap competition tho negro offors to white workmen. Thoy havo no idea of tho faot that ho will lay briok cheaper, build houses for much less, and that tho colorod man is now knocking at tho doors of cot ton milla asking for work at lower wages than whit? mon could think of doing tho sanio labor. Northern 1 pcoplo do not understand why the Southern operatives can work longer hours for loss monoy than thoir Now England brothors. Thoy must bo brought South, so that thoy can seo tho stato of affairs for themsdvos. New England is working vory hard to strip tho South of its advantages in cotton manufacturing, which is in roality thc oauso of the commission's oreation, although it is nominally a gwuoral investigating board. Now England does not liko to seo South ern mills selling moro goods in China, India and Africa than it is disposing of in tho samo territories." Readers of tho Manufacturers' Record aro familiar with tho position announocd by Mr. Smyth. Jieforo tho commission was appointod, and at tho timo it bcoamo a faotor in American politics, tho Manufacturers' Record clearly indicated tho sinister purposo of its originators. Tho warning thou given is emphasized by tho v/ords of Mr. Smyth, who in a man of broad observation, acoir rto information and devoted to tho bust intorcsts of his country. Tho South and tho rest of tho country cannot go wrong in watching oloscly tho work of tho commission, and iii tho meantime taking precautions against snap action for scotionnl purposes upon tho recommendation of tho commission.-Manufacturers' Record.
