COTTON GROWERS
SHIP TO EUROPE.
0,000 Bales Already on Way to Hamburar.
Mnch Mnr?
Clarkdale, MIsb., Feb. 12?Through
the shipment of 5,000 baleB low grade
cotton to Hamburg, on a contract for 1
50,000 bales, a plan has been disclosed
here by which, in belief of its
promoters, American shippers can
combine in groups to solve for themselves
the prohlem of exporting thoir
excesg stocks, with the result that
the ocean carrying trade will revive
from its present drooping condition,
home producers can cash in their
holdings and industrial depression
and non-employment will find quick
relief.
Cotton growers have set out to
help themselveg through their organisation.
the Mississippi Delta Export
and Trading Company. They shipped
d.uvu oaies last Saturday from Gulfport
on. the Maidencreek, a government
owned craft. Their agent in
Hamburg to receive it and has arranged
to place it among mills in
Central Europe, under toll contracts,
the mills to receive a portion of raw
cotton and to deliver finished goods
in payment.
Contracts for Cash Sales.
Contracts have been made with foreign
distributors for the cash purchase
of th? finished goods from the
agent at moderate prices, but sufficient
to psy the planters well for
their cotton and leave a margin for
company expenses.
The next step hereabouts will be to
atMre ultimate delivery, from stocks
no*? la hand, of the 50.000 bales,
which iixe Ameriean agent in Hamburg
has engaged to distribute among
European mills. Already 25,000 bales
bare been pledged. The company is
planning to ship 10,000 bales monthly
for the next four months and then to
make a last shipment of 5,000.

WASTED MONEY.
The new Governor of North Carolina,
Mr. Cameron Morrison, of Charlotte,
has announced that he is in
faror of millions for hard surface
roads, but not a penny for the sandclay
variety. We agree with him.
Cherokee county has spent more
than half a million dollars for the
sand-clay or top-soil road. It is
conceded that we got the best that
was to be had, but the fact remains
that we virtually wasted half a million
dollars experimenting. Hereafter,
whatever money is spent on
road building in this county should
be put in the more durable hard surface
road.?Gaffnev I.edsrer

SCENT TOO STRONG.
Greenville, Feb. 11?A large whiskey
distillery together with a quantity
of whiskey, was captured by local
polloemen at the home of George
Hall 6n West Earl? Street, in a prominent
residential section of the city.
Two automobiles were confiscated
and four men were arrested. The
still was located in a dugout ten feet
under the ground. It is stated the
pipes. were so constructed as to pour
the liquor into a bath tub. When
the officers approached a woman
lumped into the tub and splashed
around but the scent of the moonshine
was too strong.
BOOM FOR SWEET POTATOES.
Washington, Feb. 8?A sweet potato
syrup plant is to be established
by the government at Fitsgerald, Ga.
Under a laboratory process worked
out and planted for the public by Dr.
H. C. Gore, bureau of chemistry, the
commercial possioiuues in manufacture
of a fine, brown "highly palatable"
syrup from a heretofore waate
product are to be exploited, according
to announcement tonight by the agricultural
department.
"Many persona think It equal to
first class can* syrup," the statement
aald of the sweet potato product.
Fitsgerald was selected because a
building was urallable and also because
it has already a sweet potato!
curing and storing establishment.
Equipment will be shipped from
Washington for the syrup plant and
the department says It can make no
recommendations for commercial
manufacture without comparative
cost data to be obtained from the experiment
mil). The chi.nce for developing
a new industry Is held to
be good, however, as much of the
) sweet potato crop of the south has
been wasted in the past.
The Project is the first to be undertaken
in the way of semi-commerj
;; ctal plants by the new bureau of development
in the department of agriculture.

For Packing Cotton In Square Bales
From the Charleston News of February
13, 1820:
Mr. Marcus Pickens, of Montgomery,,
has exhibited to us the mlnia- j
ture model of a machine of his invention,
for packing cotton in square
bales, which displays much ingenuity;
and from the several advantages
it appears to combine, promises
great usefu'ness. Unless we are greatly
deceived, for which we have not
the least apprehension, (having had
some acquaintance with Cotton machines,)
this improvement promisee
extensive advantages, particularly
while cotton in square bales continues
to bear a higher price than round
bales, as has uniformly been the case.
The proprietor, we understand,
wtlt apply for a patent. We hope his
inventive Industry may be encouraged
and suitably rewarded. (Montgomery
Rep.)

LATEST AERIAL PROPHECY.
Inventor Predicts Paris to New York
In Eight Hours,
Paris, Feb. 12?Paris to New York
in eight hours is the latest aerial
prophecy. It is made by Marquis
Paterae Pescara, a French born subject
of Spain, who has perfected a
device for aerial navigation which by
means of helices rotating at terrific
speed he asserts will enable an airplane
to hover in the air as well as
fly at a great pace. He has just
closed a deal with the French government
to deliver a large number of
his flying machines, providing tests
in Barcelona earlv next month nrnv?
as successful as wer? the initial trials
wben Marquis Pescara arose vertically
to a great height and without difficulty
landed within a few fee t of a
chosen spot.
Marquis Pesoara said that in building
the airplane of the future, wing
space would not be taken Into account,
since selices placed above and
below the body of the flying craft
would be sufficient to lift perpendicularly
to the higher altitudes heavy
machines with heavy motors capable
of developing a speed of four hundred
miles an hour and also keep the
plane in a fixed position when desired.

Shortage of Fuel Drives Many People
to Practlc? 1*1every.
Many of the poor people of Budapst,
Hungary, are being driven to
wholesale thievery by the fuel shortage.
Th? recent theft of H esrleads
of wood from one train of 100 carload,,
tig It entered the city shows the
extent to which the stealing is going
oa.
Wood is so scarce that when a
wagon load is driven through the
streets people stop to gaxe after it
until it Is out of sight.
Daring small bojrB are ever on the
alert for a stray piece of wood or anything
that will give heat at home.
They scamper after every passing
wood wagon but are soon frightened
away by long whips in th? hands of
two women who alt on guard astride
the load.
The operation of unloading a ton
of Hungary's inferior brown coal before
a house attractg many neighbors
who make a pathetic picture as they
watch basketfull after basketfull disappear
Into the coal bin of the more
fortunate one.
Because of the urgency to obtain
fuel, by dishonest means, If honest
ones are of no avail, the Juvenile
courts were never go crowded with
youthful offenders.
The scarcity of fuel arises more
acute dally as winter advances. The
street railway service has been sharp
iy curtailed ana people wait tor hours
exposed to the bitter cold. The
worst operated American street car
never tolerated such crowding.

The value of Alaska's salmon produe

times the original purchase price of
