f j)? ?ttcjmtan at? JII???BE. W BD3N ESL\AY, SEPT. 1. 1897. GINNING COTTON. There was a meeting cf ginners of cotton at Waco, Tex., a few days ago. The fact was recognized that great changes are pending in this busine&s. The handling of cotton is on the eve of being revolutionized-indeed it is here now. The round bale, com? pressed into bats of cotton, wound around like threads on a spool, has come to stay. The seed cotton is fed into the gio from which it comes forth a broad, heavy bat of cotton which is immediately received and ; thickened up into a bat forty-eight inches wide and some ten incbe3 jj thick. These bats come forth rapidly io a solid mass, exhibiting more smoothly .and evenly laid fibres than the cotton as ordinarily put up. With the fibres in this improved con dicion,- making the cotton so much easier to handle at the mills and more valuable, the bat rapidly passes through a compression roller whereby by excluding the air, reduces it to a thickness of about one-fourth of an inch, thas laying the fibres smooth and straight and compressing the cotton without the least injury to the fibre? The whole process, we are as i sured, is as simple as the action of a clothes wringer. s i. The wrapping of this new bale is of cotton cloth. There is no strain upon the bale ; wound lap by 'ap it is self binding-consequently no ties are required, the light wrapping be fog necessary only to keep the end of the bat from unrolling and to pro? tect the cotton from waste and dam The American Cotton Company, exhibiting one of their piesses at Waco, showed a bale that was press? ed last December The Cotton -Gin? ners* Journal thus describes it : i- -Itv was chopped in two with an ax, and looked like a log of wood, it bad been standing without any wrap ping upon it from December until that day, six months, showing that 4no wrapper whatever was necessary to prevent expansion. * In the plain view of all j chunks were cut out ,^bf the solid end as though it were a piece of wood. When all were satisfied that it was like a log of ' wood, a small portion of the bat was unrolled and the bale thrown into the air repeatedly, with a rotary mo- j lion, and the bat unrolled as read ijy as though it were a spool of ribbon and this was continued until j the cotton unrolled clear to the core As soon as released, the tightly pressed bat loosened np or fluffed oat, and an- examination of the cot? ton by the cotton men present show? ed that it was uninjured ia every res? pect by its six months' compression to a denity of certainly foriy pounds per cubic foot. Meanwhile the baie that had been sampled had had a rod driven through it and was swung up in plain view of ail, and then, just as rapidly ! as it could be revolved, the bat roll? ed off unbroken clear down to the center. -It was explained that the company guaranteed this "in every case-that there was absolutely no truth in the reports that the bales made on their new presses gave any trouble in the unrolling. The Journal adds: Mr Ball theo explained that having thoroughly refuted evert biog that bad been said as to the oon-sampUog and eon-an rolling of the bale, they wonld now show that it would oct boro. A bale was thee rolled off the platform and out into the yard and placed upon supports several inches from the ground, and those present were invited to set it on fire with matches, Cigarettes, or by allowing sparks to fall upon it. After a nam ber of attempts ic was quickly seen that this had about the same effect upon the bale as though it bad been a log of hard wood. Insurance men present stated t ht y were satisfied that the baie was practi? cally without risk-it would not barn. Bac a further test was made. The Journal aays of ic : The bagging was cut and slashed and the cotton thrown beck, a lot of paper and kindling piled around and nader the bab, and a quaotity of coaloil pourted over, everything and set fire to, after one eod bad been toro open aod prodded. The wood aod coal-oil blazed fiercely and everybody stepped back quite a distance, but io a few minutes it waa evident that the fire would not even reach the . ead of the bale where they had ?ot placed suffi? cient kindling. At theend of ten min? utes a prominent insurance man present suggested that as they were all thor? oughly eooviooed that the bale wouldn't barn if let alose, and as the fire was rapidly dyiog out, the wood and coal ni\ having barned out, that be would like to Bte what an extinguisher would do oo tbs remnants of fire left. Ooe was brought, and io a few moments after turntog it oo the bale, the latter was rolled over and the ?ayer of char? red cotton removed, and che clean, per? fect bale stood just as before the fire, ready to be rewrapped and with but a trivial loss. The test was thorough, ahsolutd and convincing, for certainly j ia practical handling no bale would haye to go through so severe a test. This new manner of handling cotton will do away with the old time cotton gio, the bagging and ties and the cum* j bersome and expensive compress. ??? ? . . ?

Bradstreet's Report i y \ New y/ork, Aug. 27.-iJradstreet's ? to-morrow wiil say : The general trade situation continues to improve and aside from the unneces? sarily prolonged coal miners' strike, j there is little io sight to cloud the ,at ! look. The feature of the week is tbe ad j vance in prices of almost ali leading j articles, beginoiog with ao upward j movemeot ail aloog the lice Ao iron j and steel. Steel billets are ne-w $1 50 ? above the lowest figures aod bars ?1 50, rods ?3 and plates $1. Bessemer pig is up 25 .cents and foundry a like amount. Southern iroo? are very strong on cootinced active export movement. Where wire milta have not advanced prices they have with? drawn quotations Some western mills are sold up to Jae 1, which, with the demand for deliveries for furnaces, are quite signi? ficant. Lead, too, and soft coal are higher, as is wheat, notwithstanding one cr two reactions. Bradstreet's points out that the statis tical position of wheat is the strongest known since the United States became a considerable exporter, and that its price, as well as that for bread, is like? ly to materially exceed the present week's advances. Following that for wheat, prices are higher for wheat flour, corn, oats, lard, potatoes, butter, eggs, beacs. cheese, leaf tobacco, wool and live stock. Advances for leather, hides, lumber and linseed oil ure also reported. Cotton, which is up 3-16 ceot. re? ports the smallest world's stock for seven years past at this period, an im? proved tone and higher prices for the manufactured products In spite of crop damages the tendency of estimates is toward the largest total jield on rec? ord, but with probabilities favoring much better prices than those obtained for the crop of 1894-95 Advances are being also asked for re-orders of woolen goods at mills, but print cloths, petroleum and sugar are unchanged, while pork is reported slightly lower than a week ago. No such general pronounced upward move? ment of prices of nearly all leading staples have been witnessed within a week for many years. Wheat exports are of large volume, aggregating (wheat and flour as wheat included) 5,149,653 bushels for thc week, as agaiost 5,312.803 bushels last week, 3,281,854 bushels last year, 1,871,928 bushels ia this week two years ago. 3,240,000 bushels io 1894 and 5,092,500 bushels in the corres? ponding week of 1893. With the ex? ception of last week, this week's ship? ments are the largest since the third week of September, 1893. Coro exports show a coostderable falling off. being 2,682,452 bushels against 3,929,035 bushels last week, 2,610,309 bushels a year aso, 1,124. 532 bushels io 1895. 119,000 bushels in 1894 and 1.116,300 bushels in ! 1893. There are 210 business failures rc- ? ported throughout the United States j this week, against 221 last week, 320 j a -year ago. and 190 two years ago, J 192 three years ago aod 369 in the j like week in'1893.

The trouble arose by Police Officer Walton ordering a number of negroes to clear off the the sidewalk One particularly im puctdent negro, refused to obey the officers order and was immediately placed under arrest The negro re? sisted arrest and when the officer brought his club into action a number of the negroes jumped upon him Ex Lieu? tenant of Police Fordham, a brave apd very respectable colored citizen, Who now has a position in the mill, seized his rifle and came to the assist? ance of Walton . His action saved the officer's life and had the effect of subduing the blood thirstiness of the negroes. The riot ca?! had in the mean time been sent in and in a short while Capt Martin, Lieut. Ogilvie and a squad of police had arrived up on the scene. Six of the ringleaders were immediately arreste*! and sent to the station The charge entered on the books is resisting arrest and assaulting the officer It is probable that the charge of rioting will also be preferreed. Capt, Martin, in speaking of the trouble to a representative of The State to-night, said that from what he had learned, the offending parlies were not mill operatives. There seems, however, to be some doubt on this point, as several have been foaiid who say that the negroes were em? ployed at the milis The white opera tives, who still frequent the neighbor? hood had no hand in the disturbance It is said that the officers of t^e mills are thinking about doing away with negro labor and coming back to the white, and this report probably accounts for the general impression j that the negroes, fearful of losing ! their jobs, are disposed to create ? trouble, as a number of mill bands ? from Langley are in the city, which j seems to give color to the rumor that | the days of negro labor are numbered, j Take JOHNSON'S CHILL & FEVER TONIC. , ---~---s !
