The past ginning season again demonstrated the incomparable superiority of The American Cot ton Co.'h Round lap bale. Not only were farmers benefited who had their cotton put up in Kouiidiap bales, but even the patrons of old style gins profited by the presence ot Roundlap competition. Farmers ail over the cotton states have written letters to the owners of the Roundlap plants telling of the profit that has come to tbern from having ttieir cotton t ? "ail SimShu IV F. Hartley, Sr., who patronized the Greenville, Ala., plant, wrote Feb. 3, 1900 : ,4The moat important point in the Koundlap bale's favor to the farmer is the advance in price above that of the square bale. It has averaged the entire past season $2 per bale more than the square bal . More than $5,000 has been placed in circulation by the advanced price caused by this one press." Mr. F. M. Rogers also wrote from Greenville, Ala.: "I have received from $ to $ cent per pound more than the market price here for square hales. The Roundlap bale is a Godsend to the farmer? and has saved them thousands of dollars in a few months." ,u.n o" Mr. J. D. Rei 1.x 11 ^Oe n trevflle, Miss , wrote Dec. 3, 1890: "An Otbpr- ad vantage to t^e farmen is that Roundlap cottou brings such a goods price that the hovers of square cotton have been forced to put their prices up. Thus all the farmers are benefited in a town where there is a Roundlap press." Mr. F. Simonton, Temple, Tex.. Nov. 12, 1899: "I have received from $1.50 to $3.50 per bale more for my cotton than if I had ginned and soled in the square bale. Resides I know that the prices The American Cotton Co. has paid for seed cotton have been the cause of those buying the square bale paying from 10 to 50 points more for it." Mr. J. L.

In view of ihe fact that the cuBtorn giniiers and thoue oppoHed to the Ruundlap system say that you do not let the farm er have cotton Heed 1 will say that I have always gotten seed when 1 asked for it" Mr. P. R. Ilall, a merchant and planter of Waynesboro, (la., wrote Nov. 10, 1809, to Messrs Wilkine & Jones, owners of the Roundlap plant of that place : "1 had one lot of 20 bales turned out. by you, and without saying anything to anybody 1 put the samples on the market. All of the buyers in town bid upon same, thinking it square bale cotton. One of the buyers bid 5$ cents, another 5.87$ cents, 4 U /?

Without knowing what bids I had received?in fact I did not tell you that anybody had bid upon it?you offered and paid me 6 50 for the lot of cotton, which was a clear difference of 55 points in favor of the Koundlap halo. I believe that the Koundlap bale is the bale of the future as it effects a large saving of waste, and enables the plaster to get a higher price for his cotton." Mr. Abram Williams, Nov. 10, 1890, wrote Messrs. Wilkins <fe Jones : "To day I had two Round lap bales of cotton packed on your Roundlap bale press, for which you paid me 7jf cents per ^yhen the same grade of 1 cotton in the square bale here to day is only bringing 7 to 7^ cents per pound." Mr. J. S. Collins, l'ike Road, Ala., Nov. H, 1899, wrote: "1 have gotton for my cotton $2.50 per bale more than I could have gotten for it in square bales. I believe that the Roundlap press is the salvation of the farmers of our county. It believe that it has saved in our neighborhood of eight or ten miles square $5,000 in the price of cotton, and 20,000 pounds of lint cotton that would have been lost in samdles, theft and weigt, and $1,500 in warehouse charges. besides dray age and railroad expenses." The England Gin Co., which operates a Roundlap plant at England, Ark., Dec. 18, 1HOO, wrote : "We are very much pleas ed with the Roundlap bale press. It is a recognized fact jn this com * mnnitv that we havp made the price of cotton from $ to ? centa higher than it would have been. Only this last week when we were out of the market about four days seed cotton dropped from 2$ to 2 cents per pound." I>r M. A.

Unfortunately, there was no way of suppressing "His Majesty," King North Wind, so he was ignored as much as possible. The girls and boys in the mili tary drill were dressed in uniforms?the girls in navy blue, trimmed in white, sailor waists, white vests, standing collars, blue ties, white cuffs and blue caps? the boys in athletic suits of the Tabernacle colors?dark red and old gold.

The prizes for deportment were awarded by a vote of the school to Miss Rusia I'lyler and Mr. VVeslev Powell, of the seniors; M iss Lillian Griffin, Miss Merjean M eMail us and Master Ben McManue, of the juniors, and there was candy galore. The school has been a thorough ly pleasant and successful one. The pupils deserve much credit in manv wavs. Thev will lone he remembered by the teachers with pleasure, as will the great kind iipss of the whole people. In prosperity and ability, pro gross arid leadership, the Tabernacle neighborhood possesses unusual advantages, with a thorough ly good school, where its girls and boys may be trained mentally, morally and physically, it will become a "banner section,v send ing out many men and women to be leaders in the world's work? soYn.e.ono must lead?why not these boys a ml girls?
