Wherever The American Cotton Co's. Koundlap presses were operated last season higher prices prevailed for cotton whether baled round or squere. In order to get cotton, square-hale buyers were obliged to pay more than than the market price, and more than cotton was selling for in neighboring towns whers there was not a Roundlap plant. In some cases the premium paid by square-box ginners in competition with Roundlap gins during the greater part of the season was as much as half a cent per pound above the price ruling at other old-style gins in the same county. The inevitable result followed. Cotton (and the owners' trade with it) was drawn for long distances to Roundlap points to the profit of the entire community, and at the expense of towns that did not enjoy the udvantages of round bale competition. The effect of such object lessons has been a demand for Roundlap presses for next season which will tax the full capacity of The American Cotton Co'a. works running day and night. Mrs. Harriet Evans.

Sunday being one of nature's most perfect days, beautifully representative of that first glad Easter morn, when Christ burst the black bonds of death and made the day star of immortality to rise out of the dark chambers of an Eastern tomb and give joy and hope to mankind, all our churches were crowded at the morning service.

Treasury had on hand as shown by the official statement a net cash balance of over three hundred million dollars. The government receipts, in excess -of all expenses for eight months prior to April 1, wore over 62-, 500,000 dollars, or an average of nearly $8,000,000 per month. At this rate money is being taken out of circulation and concentrated in the vaults of the U.S. Treasury in the enormous sums of $96,000,000 per year, and for what purpose or usage? This concentration of the circulating medium cannot fail to result, very materially, detrimental to business at large. In his lotter to congress Jan. 10, 1900, the secretary of the treasury said : "The revenues are now exceeding disbursements from month to month, and seem likely to do so for an indefinite time. This condition would be a menance to the busi noss world if assurances were not given that this surplus would he diverted from the treasury vaults to public depositories where, while secure to the government, it would remain available to business use." The existence of over $300,000,000 in cash means that the |government has not only the required gold reserve, as per the law just passed but also $150,000,000 over and above all expenses,"ami still the government is collecting taxes on checks, deeds, mortgages, medicines, perfumes, bills lading, telegrams, money orders, etc., levying upon the people an unjust, harrsssing, oppressive tax. What possible excuse can there now be for Congress refusing to repeal this unjust stamp tax upon business documents, medicines, toilet articles, etc?

Mr. Fee says that not withstanding the seasoti of acute distress has hardly commenced, the returns far exceed those recorded during the famine three years ago. It. then j affected only l,00h,000 persons; i now the figure iR .'1,500,000 and the daily expenditure is placed | at $84,000 The famine area covers 300.000 sijiiaro miles, with a | population of 4,000,000, and there is a further area about 145.000 iBrinsirA miioii wit li .? nnniiluil/>n 1 't ol 21,000,000 in which more <r I ess distress prevails. The consul says that the application for re lief are overtaxing |ho state au thorities and are increasing at an appalling rate. In conclusion the consul expresses the fear that the South African war will so divert the attention and contributions ol Knglishmeu as to oblige India to fight the plague and famine alone. Win Orr.
