THE SQUARE BALE>
There is an or^auiaed effort on
the part of cotton dealers all over
the country to induce pinners to
pack the staple in what is known
as the "Standard Sijoare Bale.''
After giving the matter some consideration
we think that it. will be
of interest both to cotton growers
and ginners to know something
about this movement; therefore we
would call their attention to the
following facts, which certainly
must strike thetn forcibly.
Heretofore our cotton has been
packed into almost any sort of bale
that the ginner found convenient
and no discrimination was made
against it. It seems that hereaf
ter mis win uuii uo liic v>>3c. i
Complaints made by .transporta
lion companies and foreign mills
have led to an fgitation of thie
question. The former claim that
much less space would be required
in handling the cotton it* a uniform
size baie was adopted. When the
baits are of differentsizcs it is impossible
to load a steamer with
them without leaving Some space
between the bales. This lessens
the capacity ot the steamer, and in
case ol fire the spaces become air
channels, which cause the Humes
to spread rapidly. This makes
freight and insurance rates higher,
and the shipper has these high
rates to pay. It is also claimed
that different sized bales are
twisted out of shape when packed
close together and the cotton is
damaged when it reaches the consignees.
The same argument will
apply to shipping by rail. About
two-thirds of our cotton is shipped
to Europe, and it behooves us to
to accede to the demands of the
consumers of the product. After
much experirpfnt the present
Standard Bale was decided upon
as mvinff the best results. This
P* o
bale is packed in press boxes 24
inches wide by 54 inches long. It
has already been adopted by tlie
cotton growers in the Western and
the?iull States, as well as by the
Convention in Atlanta, (la., last
May. In the face of this we think
it would be unwise on the part of
our ginners to try to oppose the
movement. We believe that the
bales not packed in this way will
be discriminated against, and with
the present low price of cotton we.
cannot afford to give the dealers a
pretext make it still lower. It is
a very simple matter to change
press boxes to the required dimensions.
Most of them are too large,
and m-'y be brought to the proper
size bv nailing boards inside so
as to line the walls. The block
may then be sawed off to fit the
press. We would urge the giuners
of this county to con iu.r well the
flatter
OUR SCHOOL.
With the teachers' institute
! proyre-s ami the election ol a I;

our school near al hand, the so

mind of every one who has
heart the true welfare of the tow
No one will dispute the advant

school children, ami the pop
of a disposition to work in ha
mony, there is no reason why v
should not have a school Ih
would he the pride ol the town :u
reflect credit upon those to who
is entrusted its management.
Of course it is the first duty
the trusties to select teachers fro
the most available material "lTere
and to allow no personal feelit
to influence their choice. Lb
even with the best of teachers, tl
school will not be a success unle
the parents will co operate wil
them. It is a most delicate an
difficult mat'er for a teacher

much as possible lie should 1

Talk up the school, encourage tf;
teachers and be readv to overloo

their part, always keepii
in mind the fact that ro one

upon them that instead of heir
their natural enemies, theteache
are simply leading them in th
fight against ignorance. If theprinciples
are carried out the sch<-<
must be successful aud its infli
ence far reaching.
The outlook of our school f<
another year is more encouragii
than it lias been for several year
past, and we believe that the ne>
session will be one of the best in ii
history. We owe it to the towi
to the children and to ourselves t

Evidently General Garcia doi
