Mr. barrel I s advice was followed consistently throughout (he meeting, and fif the final session the farmers adopted a resolution endorsing the appointment of a committee which is to confer with a like committee of New Orleans business men and hankers, learn what is best lo be done, and recommend action, and also approved a ire n era I plan to create snob warehousing ;uid handling facilities at the port of Now Orleans as are needed lo aiiirmenl the tdlicioucy of the inlerioi warehouses reduce port handling and storage costs to ;i niiniminn, and supply a public warehouse receipt, backed by such absolute security as is needed to >;ive -p.,I cotton owners flic character of bank collateral most desired by money lenders. 'f!ie ultimate aim of this porf warehouse plan is lo enable I hose who may wish to hold col Ion when a surplus is available and sell it when the demand is prealer that I he supply, lo do so under the most favorable conditions possible. I here are seven farmers and seven business men on the joint committee. Rome of these men are fainilar with the advantage to aeruo from I lie creation of modern warehouse will reduce the present insurance rate of one to two dollars per $100 lo about lf> cents per $100 per year; I hat its favorable location on the riverfront will eliminate costly haulage by drays, permit, the delivery fit cotton into ships' hole on the day of sale, and protect the bale from damage, while machinery equipment will enable the laborer lo do better "ork in every way and at a reduced use. Men of energy who have given the matter serious thought express the belief that an average benefit of $2 a bale, irospoolive of whether cotton is worth 10 cents or 120 cents a pound would accure to (ho producer using such a warehouse because of economies in handling, saving on cost of insurance and freedom from damage, and I liar the receipt such a warehouse would issue would enable any holder to b.^row money from any New Orleans hanker, or from any banker in an\ (own in the cotton States. In othei "words, the owner of cotton so stored and holding such warehouse recepits would be in position lo use them at his home bank or wherever the lowest interest rales might be offered Id obtain loans to the extent of almost the market worth of his cotton. In this way it is planned lo hold at home the suhplus supply of each seawon until the homo and foreign millneed it and seek it. Discussing these mailers before tin convention, Mr. Charles .lauviei president of the Sun Insurance com pauy and vice president of the Canal Louisiana Hank and Trust com pauy, and one of tin1 loading finan ciers of the Soulit, said: ( ol ton warehouse receipts of tin character I describe would heeoni< current as -.rill edged collateral am being in a convenient form, wouh prove an ideal security in the eve? of bankers at home and abroad. Will such collateral available, surplufunds would gravitate to New Oilcannaturally and without any elTort oi the part of any one. Such collatera "would be sought bv bankers am' money lenders who have surplu; funds or cheap money on hand in tin South. North, Kast and West and ii Europe.'' While I he carrvintr out of the New Orleans warehouse plan would not h any way harm the interior ware house--, it would tend lo cheek ov ports of eolton lo Kuropo during flu earlv season when eolfon i- usualh cheap, and increase exports to Kuropo in (lie winter, spring and summer when prices are, as a rule, high cr.

Carolinian Thinks He Has Invented One That Will Work?To be Demonstrated in Columbia. < oinniissioiier of Immigration \Yaf son is in receipt of the following: ^ Springfield, S. (\. Nov. It;. 100S. ( ol. |'(. ,). Watson. Stale Conuuission ?'r ot Agriculture. Columbia. S. C. I Sir: 1 fully believe that the I | successful cot t,m picker has come in I I a machine invented b\ Mr. |{. S. Wheeler, a native of the North, but i resident of the South for main - years. II,. :lm| his father bought < some limber near Springfield several years ago, and after his father's 1 death his limber was sold and was I made the basis of our lumber opera* > tion here. During his absence of a year from Springfield he has xatisi fied several good judges here that the cotton picking machine, long looked for, has arrived. ^ ears ago in North Carolina I j'uar.l the expression with regai'd to I cotton picking which was not " picking cot ion as is commonly called, but picking out collon." TliiJ j latter phrase accurately expresses the act which must be performed In a machine before it can be pronouuc\ od it success. The Wheeler machine picks out the cotton from the boll and does not pick trash. The picking instrument is a leather bplt one-half inch wide carrying wires inserted in it about as closely as they can be and a littlo loss than a quarter of an inch long. This leather belt is made to travel very rapidly and after seizing the cotton, throws it into a chamber from which ;m air blast drives it into a cotton sack, f will not describe further than to say that I believe the staple picked by this machine will grade higher than handpicked. I believe yon will be glad to cooperate with Mr. Wheeler in providing opportunity for dctnon.-truling its capacity somewhere near '"olumb'a working and where n pr< -.-eiiin".!vc- ot the press may conveniently meet t> record results. The cotton g!'i w;i- perfected in 1 | lie immortal Whitue\. We hall all ha -lad to have the sueces fnl eollon |i'c!-er perfected in Soui h ('arolina and !l n ?w looks like Mr, Wheeler would share the immortality of Whitney by producing -itccessfnl cotton picker. The. motoi for driving' the picker is not all that can be desired, but flia! is a mere matter of detail which can be accomplished by any one in a half dozen ways, and which will be perfected directly now since the true principle of ex I racing cotton from the boll has been found. We are hoping that if will be convenient for you to suggest a place for this demonstration during the three or four days preceding Thanksgiving ill some place near Columbia. We are supposing some place near Columbia would suit better than any place near this town, and thus .save you a .journey hither. Thanking you in advance for your kind consideration. T am. Verv trulv yours. Kdw. !V Taylor. In compliance wiiu Mr. Taylor request, Col. Watson will arrange foi a (lemons! rat ion of the machine in some field near Columbia, on Wednes day. the loth instant. CURES CATARRH. Gilder & Weeks Will Furnish The Medicine Free in Every Case Where They Fail to Cure Catarrh. Neglect or pessimism we believe is the greatest enemy the public have to contend with when applied to the loss or recovery of health. Practically every case of consumption might have been cured if hope had been maintained and proper treatment had been resorted to at the first symptom of the disease. Until the advanced stage is reached, consumption is curable. Catarrh is responsible, we believe, foi every case of consumption. Tt is about Catarrh we want to talk to you today incidentally consumption, since the two are so closely allied. We have a medicine made from the prescription of one of the most successful catarrh specialists known. This medicine has a record of f)8 per cent of cures and we believe it is positively without an equal. We are so satisfied that we are right that we will supply tin* medicine free in even instance where it is used according to directions for a reasonable length of time and fails to cure and give satisfaction in every particular. We want everyone in Newberry to try this medicine at our risk. There are no conditions or formality attached to our offer. We put the user under no obligation to us -whatever. The medicine we want you to t r\ is Wexall Muen-Tone. It is a catarrh remedy that goes direct to the seat of trouble. Tt is carried by the blood to every part of I lite system. It seeks out and destroys (he germs or parasites which cause Catarrh. It purifies and enriches the blood, tones up the innco-cells, soothes and heals the tissues that were ravaged by the catarrhal parasite, and brings about a condition of health and strength that prevents the germs of consumption from ever getting a start. Resides this. Rexall Mncu-Tone is n wonderful apIpetizer. digestive aid and flesh builder. Its good effects are felt from tin very first dose. Ii is one of the largest and most satisfactory selling medicines that we have ever had anything to do with. We know so much of the great good that it has done that we personally back it up with out reputation and money, which fact should be ample guarantee to satisfy anybody.
