From every interest in either the production, the handling, the trans portation and the manufacturing of cotton comes the demand for a ohange in our methods of baling, storing and transporting of cotton. That a ohange would benefit all concerned, if done along the line of genuine improvement in onr meth ods, no one is prepared to deny. But the main obstruction in the way of radioal ohanges in this, as well as all other suoh ohanges, is the lack of concert of aotion among all oonoerned. The dull interest of spinners or buyers and sellers must be set aside in order to con J to gether in conference for the mutual benefit of all. It is beyond doubt to the interest of both the produoer and the manu facturer to have the raw staple leave first hands at the gins in a dense package, well proteoted from pillage and grime and of standard shape and uniform weight of oovering-pro duoers of the new staple get their full share of the reduction in tare in the reduction of weight of the bag ging as well as the freight on the same. No doubt about it that the farmer is made to stand all 'the loss and freight inoident en route from the gin to the mills above the net weight of the olean lint cotton. The reduc tion of one-half * the oubit spaoe in tho warehouses, cars and ships should out these charges that the farmer pays on the net lint to the mills, in half. Likewise, the reduction in weight of tho uniform covering would oall for a like reduotion in taro that should rightly go to the oredit of the producers of cotton. In addition to all these benefits mentioned to tho farmer, H. W. MoAlister, president of tho Lanca shire cotton investigating commit tee-now in this country-mentions that in his opinion this closer paok ing would relieve tho congestion of Floods tho body with warm, glowing vitality, makes the nerves strong, quiok ons circulation, restoros natural vigor, makes you feel like one born t'gain.

C. railroad and other shipping in the Sooth by reducing the packing of cotton to a density of 86 pounds to the oubio foot, or say one-fourth its present size. Farmers' Union Should Make a Call. The Farmers' Union at its next national meeting in Atlanta, Qa., on July 22d, shouull there formulate a oall for the gathering of representa tive Farm ITS' Union men, cotton ginners, cotton association, ware house men, and mill men to confer together in this matter of improved methods of baling, storing and han dling the South's cotton. As a whole, the South should be a unit on cotton. No business or in dustry in the South, it is said, is a part of itself or independent in a measure from profits from cotton in some-form or other. No man or oc cupation in the South liveth unto itself alone independent from profits in our cotton ! As we go up to gether, so we go down together. It is an astounding fact that we farmers, engaged in the occupation most interesting of all others, are the least active in these reformed methods.* The farmers have the reputation of not Bucking together. I say that they never have had any thing heretofore to stick to, except wind and sentiment. Show the average farmer the dollars and he will stay j net as long as he oan see the dollar, and when the dollar leaves, none but the pare in heart and the bravest of patriots will stand for seutiment alone. President W. C. Moore, of the Farmers' Union, makes the follow ing suggestions: Without making any effort to comment on the great necessity of a better and more sensible way of bal ing our cotton for market, I will offer the following as suggestive of a probable solution of tho difficulty. It is an established faot that any thing that costs muoh money, no matter 'how good, will not be taken 'or used by the average ginner or farmer, so I suggest that they only be required to ont down the length of the bale in the common press by lining each end down to thirty-six inohes. This can be easily done and is not expensive. The block oan be out off to pass up this narrower box without interfering with the machin ery in any way. The bale then would be about 86x80x86 and weigh 400 pounds. The need of this is to bring it to the capacity of another press that would be built on the plan of the one used to press the oil from the seed, and while slow in operation would be sufficient output for requirements. This press would | be able to compress the bale into a very compaot bale of about 86 inohes long, 80 inohes in width and 12 inches thick, and by double-deoking these Bhort bales one hundred can be loaded in the ordinary oar, whioh is just about four times as muoh as you oan ship now, and this press would be so cheap as to be in reaoh of every small station and warehouBO ; so all cotton would start on its jour ney from the first shipping station in first-olass condition and would .ave to the farmer thousands of bol lar? in freight ; for, bear in mind, be pays the freight in all oases, no mat ter who handles the oash, it is taken off the prioes to him. , Then it would relieve the railroad of mach of the trouble in oar shortage, as the ca pacity of oars would be four times as much as at present and the work of compressing could be done for proba bly twenty oents per bale. The rate of freight would be out in half, and cotton would not have to ship hun dreds of miles to find an expensive standard compress. This ia a matter that,demands im mediate action. It is the height of folly to continue on and on.in these, ola ruts jost because our grand fathers did, and lose what we pro duce. It is senseless stupidity for the farmers of the South to go on and neglect these needed reforms, and it is hoped by all thinking men that the Farmers' Union will be the means of causing them to think, and and not only think, but act ! That this office may be of aa much service as possible to the members of the Union everywhere in the State, wish that every business agent, local and oounty, would write me a letter, stating what they are doing and what Success they have had iu their work, and explain anything that they want to buy or sell and let this office co-operate as far as possible ; and any local that has failed to elect such official will do so at once. We can not succeed in independent units, but must stand and work together to one purpose. I will gladly sorve you in all matters of business. Yours fraternally, W. C. Moore, State Business Agent for S. C. F. E. & C. G. Greenville, S. C. - rn-?? That's the house the doctor built, The biggest house you see; Thank goodness he don't get onr money.

Whereas, it has pleased our All wise Heavenly Father to remove one of our workers in the Saviour's cause, George Meredith ; therefore, be it resolved, by the Conneross Bap tist Sunday school, of whioh he was the superintendent at the time of bis death, and also a worker in our little Sunbeam Society : 1. That we feel deeply the loss of our co-worker, who was always faith ful and ready to work in the cause of our Saviour. 2. That while mourning his de parture, we nevertheless bow in humble submission to the will of him .who make th no mistakes. 8. That we extend our heartfelt sympathies to the bereaved family.

Major Micah Jenkins has been re appointed Collector of Internal Reve nue for South Carolina. Iiis record in the office has been first-olass and the President was delighted to give him four years more. E. II. Deas, the notorious negro politician, has resigned the position of Deputy Col lector, because, no doubt, of a re quest, and the position has been offered to U. B. Hammett, until last week ohief of the dispensary con stabulary. Mr. Hammett is said to have tendered his resignatiou to Governor Heyward so as to leave Mr. Ansel free to appoint whomso ever he may ohoose. It was not de veloped whether Mr. Hammett will accept the position of Deputy Col lector ; but the probability is that he will unless Governor Ansel shall de sire him to remain in his present position.
