Some months ago I wrote an article for the Southern tor on the loss accruing from tho lack of suitable care in the cover- cotton to be shipped long distances. I do not know that my secured the better covering of a single bale- Indeed, have reason to apprehend that the ad- vice was possibly entirely lost, and yet because of the importance of the matter, I am induced once again to call the attention of tho Southern farmer to this interest, with the hope that some others will take up this discussion and our packages be brought at least to the standard of other countries. When we consider the value of the product, and the great ex- incurred in getting it ready for market, it is absolutely to know how little care is manifested in its proper handling. We gather it in the dew, the rain and the dirt; take it from the fields regardless of the trash we carry with it; throw it into a heap until we have all kinds of cotton, by all kinds of people ; gin it, regardless of sample or condition ; take it out of the press with, practically, no covering over the and one third of its sides completely exposed, after fastening the ties so as that they may not resist the first jar of a rude tumbling delivered at the station Thus prepared, the bales are allowed to remain on the ground, openly exposed to rains until some convenient time to draw them to market. When the cotton reaches the first merchant, tho scant covering is ruthlessly ripped on the one edge to find the sample from that side, and the tom to put in kinds of cotton into one it is similarly cut upon tho opposite edge, and then finally graded according to the inferior sample it is found to con- It does not matter how much more of the bettor sample the bale may hold, the price re- is invariably determined by the grading of the sample. This picture must be as true to the facts- Why such loose practices continue, in the face of the consequent loss to be is beyond explanation. This is more especially true when it is known is no more ex- pensive to handle the product properly than in the careless manner that if, usual. Being somewhat familiar with the enormous loss that comes to the people at the from this extravagant carelessness, I have looked with interest into the Con- reports concerning this question, and I do not find a sin- import .-peaks favorably FOR GOOD JOB PRINTING CALL AT REFLECTOR OFFICE. of American handling, as com- pared with that of India and Egypt. This is a re- upon our civilization, more to be deplored than even the loss of the money that would so relieve tho extreme poverty of our people- Mr. the Consul at remarks that packing of American raw cotton causes a deal of anxiety and com- plaint hero- The jute cloth is so torn before the bales reach that the cotton is exposed to mud, water, fire and theft. Of tho original six or eight icon two, three, four and more, are loose or broken ; the cotton bulges out, takes up dirt and dust, when in a dry place; mud in the docks ; sea water, when in the ships, rain water, when on land or wharves, or in transmission by boat, raft or wagon. In trans- port, every guest of wind tears away pieces of valuable com The wharves, custom- house floors and freight oars are usually covered with pieces torn or dropped from such The average farmer may say, these statements may be true in but what to I care for I am selling my cotton in my home market, and tho other fellow must look after We must remember that the price of our cotton is not fixed at our station, nor our neighboring town ; nor yet in New York, but in Liver- pool and Manchester, and it is fixed by what is. the anticipated condition of the product on val. Before the price is named, a fixed number of pounds is de ducted for tare, which includes bagging, ties and dirt, and then the average estimate made for condition, and the losses to ob- in that way. It is, there- fore, time that every pound of cotton sold from a farm in or Texas is sold with the of an American bole in the mind of a Liverpool merchant, when the price is fixed for its purchase. Net only are these conditions true. The Consul at would especially tho of planters of cotton to the superiority of the bales of tho Indian and Egyptian cotton, as compared with the American bales and also to the bad practice, which is occasion- ally noticed, and greatly to be depreciated, of mixing up good and fair cotton in the same bale. Tho cotton is pressed into small, compact bales, securely covered with jute and wrapped continuously, as it were, with iron bands. Whereas, much of the American cotton arrives here in very bad iron bands broken, and the bagging torn or otherwise mutilated, and often rotten from exposure to the elements, or from having lain in water, which the weight of the cotton to be in- of the bales times weighing pounds. utmost pains is taken in the packing of Indian and cotton shipped to Mr. Mason, the Consul at Frankfort, cot- ton is, as hitherto, the worst pack- ed of all that comes to this part of Germany.

The number of hoops on a bale of Egyptian is greater than that on an American bale, notwithstanding the difference in size. Tho cotton has equally rough sea voyage and handling as American. J. might give extracts at length from reports at different places. It will be sufficient for my purpose to give the following extract from the report of Mr. Neil, Consul at is shipped to this dis- chiefly from the southern ports of the United States, and the bales are very often in a rough condition, because the coarse canvas covers are in weight and strength to stand the usage to which the bales are subjected Bales of cotton are patched and mended in Liverpool, and sent forward to consumers by rail or canal- The best material for out- side covering is heavy, strong and the bales should be bound by ten iron bands instead of seven, as at present. The most important matter that re- quires the attention of shippers in the United Stated is the man- of loading steamers at some of the Southern ports, where it is the practice to screw the bales into the vessels and to cut off their to make them fit into the hold. A great deal of cotton is lost from the bales, ow- to the tearing of the canvas in the process of screwing, and as the ship unloads, this loose cot- ton falls about the hold and the quays, and is more or less dam- aged by being trampled upon and mixed with the dust and dirt on the floors. It is never fit to be put back into the bales, and consequently has to be sold at a greatly depreciated value. Much of it never is recovered at all, be- swept up the rubbish on the quay, and disposed of by the ship owner or dock ties, who are bound to keep the ground clear of such material. every vessel the southern ports of the States lands a quantity of loose cotton, equal to from one to eight bales of cotton, which does not include quantities given to make up broken bales. Considerable loss is caused by this last item, owing to the custom of master porters of giving much more than is due in weight to sate for loss in breakage and quality. There are cases where the masters or mates of vessels give quantities of loose cotton from the hold in payment for services rendered to the ship- This state of things often results in heavy claims for loss in weight, which falls upon the American shipper, who, according to the custom of the trade, has teed the weight shipped and in- voiced- In conclusion, the with reference to cotton are i The use of better canvas and more bands in making up a bale, the ion of pres- sing, the prohibition of screwing cotton into a vessel, the of cutting onus off bales to make them fit ship's holds, and the adoption of a uniform size of bale throughout the Cotton States, which would do much to insure better and more careful stowing on board The facts given in this article are sufficient to arouse the of cotton farmers, and I shall, from time to time, urge upon the readers of the Cultivator a proper consideration of their interests in the better handling of this able THE PARTY PAPER. A Few Reasons Why it Should be Faithfully Patronized. The Gold Leaf is a but not an pa- It is a partisan, although it wears no man's collar. It throws its in- to the side of Democracy because that party most nearly the principles which it holds- But it is not blinded to the faults and short comings of men simply because they call themselves Democrats. It has opinions of its own and is not afraid to speak its occasion requires. And while this is true it has ever been a worker the Democratic cause, contending for those which it believed to be for the best interests of the people. Those thoughts are suggested by the of an article publish- ed in the Oxford Public Lodger of last week under the above heading- At a recent editorial meeting Gen- C P- Hayes, of had this to say about the necessity and justice of accord- a liberal support to tho party The party owes fully as much to the as the paper owes the party. This remark will no doubt sound a little strange to the average party worker not con- with a newspaper, but it is true- Tho great trouble to-day amongst party men is that they do not recognize this mutual obligation between the paper and tho the is willing to take all he get from the paper but is willing to return the paper nothing. He expects the newspaper man to do the major portion of all the work, to keep tho machinery in working order, then pay all his own bill- take all tho cursing that may happen to come his way. As things are to-day there is no one connected with the party who gives so much labor and money to advance the party's interest as does the newspaper man, and there is no one who gets so little for it- But this should not be so- The laborer is always worthy of his hire, even when he does work for his party. The paper should always be supported and should be support- ed well. If a paper works for tho party all of its membership should work for the paper. Every member of the party should make it his business not only to take the paper and pay for it in advance, but to give it all work of every kind which has to be done. Not only this, but he should talk for his paper, and thus endeavor to get other to take it and it in every way possible. aided without their being either or and these will naturally suggest them- selves when there is a to deal justly with them, and as they are entitled son Gold Leaf- MR. WALSH ON THE TARIFF. The Georgia Senator Points Out the Advantages of the Senate Bill. Highest of all in Leavening U. S.

It re- presents the best that could be attained the present and the attainable should ways be by in matters of legislation. This bill is such an improve- on the law that there ought to be no question among tariff reformers as to its beneficial effects upon the interests of tho country. The Senate bill is a long step the removal of protective duties, is the beginning of the end of the fight for tariff reform. It is a compliance with the spirit of the pledges of tho Democratic party, and tho contest will go on until the letter is also fulfilled- No Democrat should fail to accept the Senate bill as tho best thing in the shape of tariff legislation that could be obtained from the Senate as at present constituted. With the parties so evenly ed in the Senate, Democrats should rejoice that even such sub- progress should been mule in tho reduction of the duties the removal of commercial restrictions. Had the Democrats been united, it was possible that the cans could have filibustered in- definitely and thus have prevent- ed tariff legislation during the present session. place of damning the Sen- ate bill with faint praise and bringing it into ridicule and con- tempt, tho Democratic press should use its influence to create a just public opinion as to the real merits of the Senate bill- When properly presented as tho best measure of tariff reform at tho conservative of the country will settle down to the conviction that very substantial progress has been made in tho direction of real tariff and freer trade Those who have been denouncing the Senate bill as in a modified form should bear in mind that it was impossible for the Democrat- majority to do otherwise than adopt a compromise measure- Great reforms are not in a day.

C-, At 20th The President is reported as at Gray Gables where he went on Friday to recuperate from an attack of malaria, which has been aggravated by over work. He expects to return next Tuesday. It is rumored he in- tends to veto tho River and bill and let the senate tariff bill become a law without his Senator Ransom saw him about the River and bill before he left and urged him to sign it in the interest of the entire country. He assured the President that the bill had been carefully prepared. Senator Jarvis says he would be willing to retire from public life if he could see a free sugar bill, an Con- to elect senators by the people and a measure to change the rules of the senate, become laws. If such legislation could be secured through the agency of Senator Jarvis he would achieve international fame and render his country the most distinguish- ed service. Hon- Elias came here from the state convention, had a long interview with the President which lasted until it was nearly time for him to take the train, when he was driven to the depot in Secretary Lamont's private carriage- Mr. Helms, the efficient post- master at Monroe, N- C- has been here to improve the mail routes out from his progressive town. I hear Captain S- A. Ashe, will be given a good position under the Government. A comparison of the expend between this and the last Republican congress shows that the Democrats have been mental in cutting down expenses This is a good show- for the party and the subject will make first class campaign material. The economy in the manage- of the postal expenditures is due mainly to the energy and industry of Hon. John S- Hen- He drew the bill up and carefully scrutinized every item. Figures do not lie and here is the schedule cf expenses of the Government for the past four For the fiscal year ; for fiscal year 1891, for fiscal year 1892, for fiscal year, 1893, for fiscal year 1894, These amounts ought to show the people which party should remain in power. Senators Ransom and Jarvis both favored the passage of tho pop gun bills and the free sugar bill, before they were buried in the Finance Committee Room. President has just telegraphed that ho has signed the sundry civil bill. Passed. letter has made the p i-- of the free sugar bill out of the question, even If the Senate were I n a position to do it. notwithstanding the fact that a majority of the Senate favors free sugar. Secretary letter contained the latest revised estimates of revenues of the government under the Senate tariff bill. The receipts arc and the expenditures, An surplus of is entirely too small to stand any further reduction. The wisdom of the House in the Senate amendments to the although it involved a seeming on the part of the is more apparent el day. It is now clear as day that there was a plot to prevent any tariff legislation at all and that only the prompt action of the House Democratic caucus prevented its being carried out. Had Senator Bill's directing the Senate conferees to report a disagreement to tho Senate been adopted before the House acted, it would have followed by a mo- to postpone the whole matter until next and the would have been carried. Senator Vest, in a speech defending the Senate f.-om the numerous charges made against it in connection with tariff legislation, said Men said the question was between the Wilson bill and the Senate bill. That statement was as false the that this was a Democratic Senate, On the question of tariff reform it never was and never can be a Demo- Senate as at present constituted. question was between the Senate bill and the law.

Secretary has written a letter to Senator Harris, allowing that the revenue to be derived from the tariff on sugar is absolutely necessary to avoid a deficit in the Treasury for this fiscal year, and stating that if the bill for free sugar, which passed the House with only opposing votes, is passed by the some other bill to raise the which it is estimated will be collected on foreign sugar most also CHERRY ASK YOU ABE INTERESTED IN LOOKING FOR BARGAINS to go straight to them, stock is now complete, their full of choice selected--------- Merchandise From which genuine bargain can he had.

We noticed last week Capt. J. J. and Col. J. Bryan Grimes, of Grimesland, at the convention- Those are largely engaged in the of tobacco. We hope they will sell their entire crop here.

The lower tariff has brought a corresponding cut in all prices and all are so to sell that they don't stand on the size of the cut, but say the goods are bound to go.

Why He Did Not Want the Legislatures of and Denounced and How Butler Played Capt. W. H. daring a recent visit to Goldsboro talked very plainly about matters The captain was naturally in- at the condemnation of the General Assembly of 1893, of which he was a member, and gave some of the inside history of the workings of the Populist platform He stated that he was shown a of the platform by Butler presence of Skinner and saw it denounced the Legislatures of 1891 and 1893; that he told and Skinner that would never do because they, Butler and Skinner, were members of the Legislature of 1891, and he, Kitchin, was a member of the Legislature of 1893. and that as would be the principal speakers of the Populists, it would be awkward in the extreme for them to go about the State denouncing their own work. He further stated that the validity of his objection was recognized and that Butler drew his pencil through the offensive paragraphs, and he, Kitchin, assuming that the said paragraphs were paid no further attention to the matter until after the plat- form was adopted, when he learn- ed that Messrs. Butler and Skin- s Legislature of 1891 got off free, while his Legislature of 1893 was roundly denounced. He was naturally indignant and an- that he should, on all defend the Legislature of 1893 from the unjust aspersions cast upon it by the Third party platform. The captain was also quite upon some of the non-par- for the Supreme Court. He said that everybody down east knew that Judge Fair- cloth was unfit to fill the place now filled by Judge Shepherd, and that during a recent trip in the west he had learned that Furches was even less fit for the the Supreme Court bench than was Judge Faircloth. The cap- here used strong language in reference to the and learning of these distinguished non partisans, asserting that Fur- was, if possible, even less fit than Judge Faircloth. It was painful to hear these patriotic non-partisan-1868 Re publicans, who have for nearly thirty years bolstered up and de feuded Republican misrule and hated Democrats with most hatred, but who have now become mild and gentle sucklings of non-partisanship, thus exposed by a member of the illustrious Populism convention which put in nomination. O, the how sadly oat of join they are also claims the credit of having forced plat- form-makers to strike oat of the draft of the platform a plank de- for the repeal cf the county government system, threat- to fight a royal on the floor of the convention if Republican demand was inserted. Whatever we may think of Cap- his candor is refreshing and can be hat gratifying Messrs- Butler, Grant and other patriotic and unselfish citizens who are at work night and day, and with no prospect of success, to do the possible thing of deceiving the people of North Carolina into giving them the control of our court, Legislature and State gov- News and Ob- server. A NEW HOPS FOR THE SOUTH. An Increase In Cotton Mills a cant Feature of the Industrial Revival. One of the most significant features of the industrial revival in the South has been the increase of cotton mills. With in the past fourteen years, indeed, the South- manufacture of cotton has in creased in the value of the annual product from to Where in 1880 there were only spindles, there are spindles merrily whirring to-day. Nearly all of these mills are paying good and has become one of most inviting fields for industrial growth. The climate permits uninterrupted operation for all the year round. In view of the past year's record, it is not surprising to find Secretary of the Interior Hoke Smith asserting that all indications point to the manufacture in the South of all the cotton grown there- The South produces at present over per cent, of all the cotton of the world, but only one-third of this staple is manufactured in he United States.- Europe chases two-thirds of the raw ma- If the South could its entire product, the gain in increased value would be a year ; prop- belongs to this de- Secretary Hoke Smith. Egyptian cotton and Russian cot- ton are also becoming formidable rivals abroad, and this growing home manufacture will probably prove a remedy to some extent for their increasing competition in foreign markets. The bright prospect, which is held out in this hope for the South, can be best appreciated by quoting the estimate that a complete domestic cotton manufacture would change the yearly value of the crop from to nearly Record.

The Democratic State plat- form has made an unequivocal declaration for the free and limited coinage at the ratio The committal is and solemn. As a matter of fact, Senator Ransom and every Dem- Representative from the has voted for a free coinage to bill at every opportunity that has offered- Senator Vance always did so, and Senator Jar- vis will whenever the occasion presents itself. This platform instruction was not needed, so far as our Senators and were concerned, but if it were it would be effective. A good many people are saying that the financial question is the only one, and that the only of it is free and unlimited coinage at the existing ratio. These have their views fully met in the Democratic platform, and if they have been thinking of go out of the party for lack of this they need not go.

PAPER MONEY TO BE TAXED. For twenty years or more pa- per money, such as national bank notes, and gold and silver certificates, has been ex- from taxation by the States. Every neighborhood has its hoarder who in the month of May always seeks to turn his money into in order to escape taxation. The notion that only were non taxable got abroad during and immediately after the late war, when, as Senator Sher- man says, it was deemed as a favor to these constantly declining United States notes to exempt them from taxation. But the Senator holds, erroneously it seems, that money on hand, whether it be in the form of these notes or gold or silver coin, or State bank notes, has always been taxable. But the matter is mentioned here only to direct attention to the fact that there is now an end to all such foolishness. The man who has money must now lie about it and swear to the lie, or he must pay tax on it. Hither to he has had to do neither. With very little discussion and with no opposition, the House bill subjecting money to state taxation passed the Senate last Saturday. The bill reads as fol- lows circulation notes of banking associations and United States legal tender notes and other notes and certificates of the United States payable on demand and circulating or intend- ed to circulate as currency, and gold, silver, or other coin shall be subject to taxation as money on hand or on deposit the laws of any State or provided that any such taxation shall be exercised in the same manner and at the same rate that any such State or territory shall tax money, or currency circulating as money, within its Sec. That the provisions of this act shall not be deemed or held to change existing laws in respect of the taxation of national banking This act settles the matter. All money is now subject to taxation if the State says so. We have not the State laws on the subject at hand for immediate reference, but the State of North Carolina now has the power to tux the money of its citizens just as other thing it did not have the power to do before the law above mentioned was enacted Gazette- How Were by Smart Yankees in THE BOY AND THE BOSS. British fondness for good eat- and especially mutton, on more than one occasion has cost England a good deal more than she bargained says the New York Sun- Eighty one years ago it cost her a sloop of-war. It has been seriously charged, and with some grains of truth, that the war of 1812 British naval- officers stationed on the coast of the United States kept a sharper lookout for Yankee poultry, sheep, and good things of the larder than they did for Yankee cruisers The Americans were not long in discovering this weak point of their enemy, and on July 1813, a party of Connecticut fishermen j planned tho capture of the British sloop of war Eagle, which was in Long Island sound- The strategy of on this occasion was based on the well-known fondness of British naval-officers for mutton. The fishing-smack Yankee fitted out in Now York harbor on the morning of July 4th, having forty well-armed concealed in hold, while three innocent- looking fishermen, together with a calf, a sheep, and a goose, were purposely loft on dock and plain sight. Working her Way through Hell Gate, the Yankee entered the sound, to all appearances a harm- less trading vessel. It was not long before tho sharp-eyed look- out in Eagle the calf, although her commander always claimed that he was the first to see the sheep. However this may be, away the Eagle went in full The innocent-looking fishermen affected to make great efforts to escape, but promptly heaved-to when the order was given to do so. The Eagle gallantly along- side, tho eyes of her people spark- ling, and their mouths watering at the sight of the calf, the sheep, and the goose- But at this mo- tho watchword was passed, and in an instant forty Americans rose to their feet, and, taking aim, fired, killing and wounding a number of the English crew and driving the rest below. The Americans then boarded tho Eagle, and hoisting tho Stars and Stripes over the British carried her safely into New York, where they were greeted with great enthusiasm by the people who were celebrating the glorious Fourth on the battery- -WHEN IT COMES TO STATIONERY You miss it time if you fail to call for what you want in this line at the- We make a specialty of this class of goods and if Quantity count for anything with you, come to us- Envelopes a pack up- Note Paper a quire up.

If they will faithfully do what they are told, forgetting nothing, then they become helps indeed- Such are to be depended upon and trusted when an arises, and some one is needed who is faithful re- then is the time their worth is known. But people who are always forgetting always always saying. meant or didn't mean blunder through the world, and are very little comfort to or help to any one else. It is a great thing to have a faithful responsible child in the house it is a sad thing to have a rattle- brained, headstrong child, who mischief, commits blunders, makes mistakes, and causes trouble in every direction- don't is a poor answer Persons ought to think. is a poor excuse. No person should forget the things that is his duty to attend to. A boy does forget a thing which interests Who ever knew of a boy to go fishing forget his bait Who ever knew a girl to forgot her ribbons ornaments The reason people forgot things is that they do not care about them. The way to remember is to care, and if we care for our ways and our work, then we shall not forget to attend to our duties- As the Chatham Record says fusion or coalition between the Republicans and Populists illus- most forcibly what strange bedfellows politics will some- times make- Yes, it certainly seems passing strange that any Populists or Republicans, if they are sincere in their professions, should wish to combine, for their political principles are as far they possibly can be- For instance, the Republicans advocate a pro- tariff, and the Populists oppose it; the Republicans de- monetized silver, and the lists advocate its free and ed coinage the Republicans es- the National banks, the Populists urge their the Republicans are opposed to an tax, and the Populists advocate it.
