The ftotind bale trust is a dan- i
gerolis thing in our opinion. All }
the signs point that way. The f
way to fight it is to let it severe- j
lv alone. That is the plan many
farmers have adopted in fighting
the round blae trust in other
parts of the state. They just
simply will not have their cotton
haled by that process so long as ^
the round bale presses are not
sold on the open market. They .
know that if the square presses
go out of business, they will be I
at the mercy of the owners of the y
round bale presses, which are n
leased, not sold, so that their con f
trol remains in the hands of the w
trust. ^

ONE PAYS UP.
s
Col. Willie Jones one of three 8
bondsmen has sent the Attorney- i
General a check lor his third of i
Col. Neal's shortage as superin- c
tendenfc of the penitentiary. The '
third was $5)37.47. H
The GoTernment's Gold.
The question of taking care of
the government gold is giving
Rome concern to the sob-treasury 1
officials here. Every dav the 8
hanks bring in hundreds of thous- *
i ands of dellars' worth of gold and 8
exchange it for gold certificates. '
To day the amount of gold ear- 0
tificates received was $300,000, 8
and the total received and distributed
to date exceeds $22,000.- '
000. The employes of the sub
treasury are kept working over H
time storing the gold in the 8
vaults, which never had so much "
stored away in them before.
The New York sub-treasurv 1
handles twice as much money in
the course of the year a? all the 1
other eight sub-treasuries combined,
and most of the government's
gold is located here. It is 8
becoming a serious question where r
to put the yellow metal. The "
treasuiy figures of Saturday p
showed that the cold held by the s
government was $250,262,940 net,
including the $100,000,000 reserve, I c
which is about $8,000,000,000:"
greater than at any other time in '
the history of the government. 1

The Cuban Debt.
i
The Spanish Cabinet has an- t
nounced that the interest on what h
is known an the Cuban debt will ?
be paid. Thin debt wan made by t
Spain in her neveral effort" to put f
down Cuban insurrection". The i
refusal to pay the interest i?j|
baaed upon the fact that th* in r
land mortgaged to nuntain iheji
debt han panned out of Spain's
hands. It practically amounts to:
a repudiation of the debt. fheL
UnitedStat.es government being
in charge of the Cuban resources L
given some shadow of excuse for I
Spain for refusing to pay the in- j i
terest, but as this government h >s > \
made i.o agreement, either for!
itself or for Cuba, an to the pay- 1
merit of the interest on the bonds
will have no one to look to for ,
their payment. The debt is in no '
enae Cuban as the Cubans had
do part io floating the bonds and
the money resulting from their
lale was used to the disadvantage
d{ the island. This* debt is heldalmost
altogether in Spain and
Prance, ap that the action of the
Spanish cabinet #ill injure only
the Spam'sh people themselves
ind their best friends. The
French government may have
tomething to say in regard to the
natter before it i'r done with.

What a Beginner Is Doing.
W. A. HAROADINE.
I am 21 years of age a-id am
arming now for my first year. 1
;ot a good common school educa
ion, afterward graduated at. the
conference Academy of Dover,
)el., in 1897. l\tught school last
ear and thiR year 1 am farming
ny father's farm adjoining the
arm he lives on. I board home
nth him. It has been a rented
arm for several years and caried
on bv poor managers, who
ook all ott' the land and put
caroely anything back in *urn,
o the land is poor, but I am makng
a beginning towards lmprovog
it by the aid of cow peas and
rimson clover. 1 am getting my
arm implements and stock as I
m able. 1 buy all the good
dooded heifer calves I can, and
n three or four vears I shall have
fine herd <>f cattle and very lit
le capital invested.
Saturday afternoon and even
ngs I work in ihe leading shoe
tore at Dover, and earn enough
o hire a man two days or huy
i)me small things needed on the
arm, and also get rested by the
hange. Ltst fall I bought the in
;redients and mixed my own fer
ilizers for wheat. I am pleased
nth the results and expect to do
he same this fall. I keep a stri t
.mount of each and every crop
eparatelv and of every cent I
pend. Several people say to me,
You are foolish to work on a
arm with the education you
isve." I only laugh at their iginrauce
and tell them 1 haven't
lalf enough education to farm. A
arge number of people, if they
ret a little education, think tbev
nust go to the city to use it ; run
i hi reel our pro'iani v, a railroad
mgine or stand behind a counter
veek after week. .
I consider farming the moat
lomplicated of all profe-aioi.e,
ind nowhere are brains more
leeded than on the farm. Where
s 'here such a Urge field for the
levelopment of brains. If more
armors' bovs that are so fortti
late an to tret a good educat ion,
vould stay on the farm where
hey are needed, fartning would
loon become what it ought to be,
ind we would experience much
>etter times. I mu?t say I think
arming the noblest, happiest and
riost independent work in whicn
tie son of man can engage. Stay
>n the larm with imp bovu tliup?
a plenty of room for you.
