HOW TO STORE COTTON.
WHEN NOT PROPERLY HOUSED IT 18
j UREATLY DAMAGED.
Messrs. Alexander Sprunt & Son,
Cotton exporter, of thin city, sent out
fthe following circular yesterday:
I "In view of prospective wet and Btormy
fweather throughout the cotton belt, wo
I desire to draw the attention of our friends
tin the interior to the most important
I matter of dry storage for cotton to be
held or handled during the winter months.
It will be remembered that a large part
ot last season's holdings was rendered
unmerchantable and worthless by pre
vious exposure to the weather in open
fields or under the caves of out-houses,
either from indifference or with the un
worthy nuroose of adding to the weight
I by moisture, and thereby increasing its
marketable value. Many exporters ot
cotton were thus deceived, and made such
heavy losses from damage and falling off
in weights that it is their fixed determi-
nation to utterly refuse cotton which has
not been properly housed this season.
"Our purpose is to bIiow that such
carelessness reacts upon the planter. Many
bales which came to us last spring ap
parently dry and in good condition, were
fouud, upon examination by tho testing
rod, to be utterly rotten and valueless.
In one instance a bale of apparently dry
cotton, weighing li-tO pounds, was opened
for examination and fouud to contain 550
Bounds of rotting cotton, which was sold
for about 1 cout a pound. Many other
similar cases could bo quoted, but this
will suffice to justify the warning tliata
planter or merchant who risks his cotton
out of d.iors in bad weather is likely to
suffer serious consequences in heavy
allowances f..r damage or tho utter re
jection of tho cotton as unmerchantable."

People who imagine that David B.
Hill will be lost eight of in the Senate
arc going to find themselves mistakeu. I
am not given to making exaggerated
statements and I have had sufficient ex
perience, I think, to judge men with
gome degree of accuracy.
G.v. II ill has the ability to take his
place in the front rauk of the Senate tho
first day be takes his seat as a member of
that body. In my judgment ho is tho
most accomplished statesman this country
has produced in forty years. He is the
equal of the great Tilden in his primo
and possesses an iufi'iitely greater degree
of courage. If Mr. Tilden had had
Hill's courage in 1870 he would have
achieved the Presidency. Mr. Hill is a
close student and a keen observer. There
is nothing superficial about him. 'He is
a strong partisan because he believes that
the principles laid down by Jefferson and
Madison aud Jackson are eternally right.
He is too broad to confine himself to one
idea or hobby.
Hill's speech at tho unveiling of tho
monuineut to poor Grady was a master
piece, and he delivered a speech of three
quarters of an hour at a baDquet in At
lanta that, if it had been delivered on
the floor of the Senate, would have made
its author famous. I am not given to
prophecy, but I orediot fur Gov. Hill a
great future. He will ceitaioly make
his mark in thn Senate
When a Roman lady went out of doors,
says the Pan Francisco Chronicle, she
threw over her indoor dress the palla, or
cloak, which was a large square or oblong
piece of woollen cloth, and was fastened,
cither around tho neck ar on the .shoulder,
or by brooch.
The cloth varied very much in thick
ness, or fineness of texture, color and
brilliancy of design, according to the
setison and the fortune of the lady.
A bust of subdued and moderate de
velopment was much admired in young
girls, and sometime they wore round
round their chests bandages, which were
intended to restrain the growth of the
breasts.
Such bandages, however, were worn
only when the busts were disposed to
over development, or when mothers were
more than usually anxious to increase the
personal charms of their daughters.
Grown up women, also, whose busts
were disposed to undue fulness, wore
under the tunic and next to the skin a
soft leather bandage, called a breast band;
but this was not at all intended to com
press the figure into any unnatural slim-
ness, as the modern corset do.
Sometimes a sash or scarf was fastened
close under the bust to serve support.
This was worn over a little tunic, but
only by women whose figures or active
habits of life rendered such a support nec
cssary.
Young unmarried women wore abroad
flat girdle or z inc around the hips. This
was a symbol of virgin purity and was
worn until the wedding day.
Hats do not seem to have been worn,
the hair being covered by a veil, or by a
portion of the cloak being drawn over it
Auburn or golden hair was the most
prized, and, since the natural blonde hair
was very raro among Roman women,
great trouble was taken to impart to dark
tresses the coveted hue.
The hair was washed with lye, then
rubbed with a special kind of pomade
and exposed to the rays of the suu. It
this did not produce the desired result
wigs made of the blonde lock9 ot captive
women were worn.
Jewish merchants traveled through
Teutonic tribes to buy up fine hair for
the Roman market. A lady s toilet took
a long time, for she bad a whole bevy of
slave girls called "adomers, trained to a
special work.
To keep the complexion smooth and
soft a dough kneaded with asses' milk
was spread over the face at night and in
the m iming wasiiid off agitn with milk.
One Empress, Poppaw, tho favorite of
Nero, was always accompanied on h,ir
travels by a drove of she asses, that she
might never la;k the necessary milk.
The eyebrows wore drawn in fine
curves with a pencil and the lashes
darkenee; white and red was put upon
the cheeks, the nails were trimmed and
n..lUhiil. the hair was oiled, and perfumed
and dressed even the garments were
scouted.

Many evil prophecies have been made
by the gold bugs as to the great evils
that would befall the country in case of a
great coinage of the baser metal knowu as
silver. The cry was if you continue to coin
silver in largo quantities you will neces
sity and inevitably drive out ol the coun
try all the gold. You have no doubt heard
the cry often. As far back as 1870 there
wasgoldcoin iu the United States amount
ing to $210,000,000- The silver amount
ed" a beggarly $10,000,000. Coiuing
silver began, and then the gold bugs and
their organs began to cry out most lusti
ly You will ruin the country, stagnate
trade, drive out gold, and so raug the
alarm throughout the land.
But what happened? Did these thiugs
come to pass? Turn to 1833, four years,
later, after coinage of silver had been con
tinued. Iu that year there were $240,-
000,000 of silver an increase of 400
per cent. How was it with the gold?
Had it taken wings and flown to parts
unknown? We find that so far from
this, tho gold of 1870, had actually in
creased to 5-13,000,000 or some 90 per
cent, increase.
Silver coinage continued. Was the
result full of disaster, and did all the
gold leave t'.ie country? The answer is,
that on tho 1st of July of last year, the
gold had increased to 8090-000,000.
But you will say, if you are a gold
bug, perhaps that this increase of g 1 d
was owing to the decroaso of silver. And
io that you will slip up badly. So far
from a decrease of silver, the fact is that
the 810,000,100 of silver in 1879, has
staadily increased, aud on the 1st of J uly
1890, silver and its representatives ag
gregated $081,000,000 or nearly as much
as gold.
So the croakers croaked for nothing,
and the prophots of evil prophesied when
the results him ly gave the lie direct to
all that was said. That is so. ine
Philadelphia Manufacturer, and able
Republican, hi;;h protection organ, says
this of the pre; ent condition of silver :
".ueanwhlle, every silver dollar and
every note rep-eseuting a silver dollar,
is to day just n good as a gold dollar,
has precisely t le same purchasing power
and is etchangeable for it at par. No
human being aaslost anything by the
silver coinage; no violent disturbance of
values has occurred, and up to Januaiy
of this year told flowed steadily in in
stead ot flow ng out.
One of tin results of this Bilver legis-
itien has been that the people
have been supplied with a quantity
of good currency in sufficient volume to
permit tho easy conduct ot trade opera
tions. Io 1879 the per capita circula
ti in was only $10 75. In 1883 it was
$22.91. This year it is $23 45. lhat
it may safely be made larger is the opin
ion of many wise financiers. 1 ranee has
$44.55 per capita, and we may doubt
if it be possible for any nation to have
too much sound metallic currency.
The writers on the gold side assert
that the silver dollar is a dishonest dol
lar. That it is a great wrong to push
sueh money upon the people. But the
plain facts remain, first that silver lias
greatly multiplied and still there Das teen
nd is an abundance ol cold tne preo

and second' that a dollar in silver wil1
buv a dollar's worth of food r clothes or
as much as gold or paper will buy of these
articles.
The "Manufacturer" says that in fact
there has been more gold than the coun
trv's necessities required. It says that
it was becauso of this excess that so much
g.ild went abwed in the early part of the
year and no shock or alarm was felt. It

Louisnuttfl, N. C, Nov. 11. The
editor of the "Chronicle" asked me to
write for publication the reasons why I
think a third party should not be formed
at this time. And indulging the modest
hope that I may thus be to some little
extent useful to my countrymen, I now
comply with tho request.
I am decidedly opposed to the forma
tion of a third party at the present time.
But let no one think for one moment
that I base my opposition to the
formation of such third party on
any moral ground. The people have a
clear right to form a new party whenev
er they feel sure that the best interests
of freedom and good government demand
such action. About this there can be no
mistake nt nil. Indeed. I can readily
conceive such a condition of existing par
ties, as would make it the highest duty
which freemen owe to themselves, to their
country and to posterity to separate them
selves from corrupt and tyrannical polit
ical organizations, and unite in the forma
tion of such associations as would secure
to all the people the ends of good and
economical government.
I want also to distinctly say that I
think a very largo and influential wing
of the Democratic party is not now, and
has not been within my recollection, wil
ling to do justice to the demands that
have been made by the great mass of our
mmpiilhiral rmnulation. Mr. Cleveland
"o r i
and his large following within the. Demo
cratic party are avowedly hostile to the
free coinage of silver. And, look as it
may, the fact is, that this opposition to
free silver means a small currency lor
this country; and a small volume ot cur
rencv a volume of currency that is
staple in amount, or nearly so, means
simple ruin in a rapidly growiug country
It is certain that the excess of increase
in the productions of a country over the
growth or enlargement of the amount of
its money circulation enhances the value
of that circulation, and when such excess
is large the enhancement will be simply

way.
I am opposed to the formation of
1
thiid party at this time, because, a9 I
look at tho matter, U is not by any mean
certain that such a party could succeed, if
it were formed. I entertain no doubt at
all lhat such a party can be formed. The
material for its formation is abundant.
But could those materials be organized
into victory? I know of no political party
that was ever firmed in this country, or
elsewhere, that was able to accomplish
anything of enduring valua without weary
years of that peculiar cost ot training
which comes from defeat; aud there ap
pears to be no good reason to tamk that
the third party, if formed at this tiou.
wmild ho an exception in history. It
seems to me, that demands for reforms
arc so pressing and urgeut, as to make it
almost wicked to compel tho farming and
moducing classes of the country to u
tor r-lief until they can be organized in
to a new party and trained to follow new
and untried leaders to victory.
Aain, I am opposed to the formati' n
of a third party now, because such actn n
would, in my opinion, expose the eutintiy
to the continuance of the Republican
party in control of our national ai.bii-
I cheerfully accord to the lvepu'.;c;Mi
party the eminent distinction amongst
the parties of the world ot having i -stroyed
human slavery on this continent.
But I cannot forgot that it has alsnuoro

flag from the seas of the world by de
stroying carrying trade, that it has fast
ened upon the producing country this
devilish tariff system iu the interests
of a few rich manufacturers, that it has
begotten great monopolies aud consecre
crated itself to their strengthening and
enlargement, that it has never lost an
opportunity to squander tho people's mon
ey upon its pets and favorites, that only
hist winter it tried to send a deputy mar
shal into every voting place in the South
ern States. I believe tho purposes and
aims of the Republican party are wicked,
and I am afraid to take tho risk ot con
tinuing it in power, which seems to me
to be involved in the formation ot a third
party at this time.
I nm. moreover, opposed to the forma
tion of a third party at this timo, because
I believe the Alliance can get all that is
valuable in its demands through the
Democratic party. To do this, I would
throw the anti-silver and anti-tanfl re
form wing of the Democratic party over
board neck and heels, and I would unite
all the lovers of good government under
the flag of our Democratic fathers, and
compel the reforms demanded by both
justice and mercy.
May I be allowed to say, that my
Democracy is more than blind devotion
to the leaders of the party, is more than
mere sentiment. It is a conviction, as
deep and abiding as my nature, that all
the people are better than any ot the
people that any system of government,
which falls with inequality upon any
class of citizens, is wicked, and ought to
be overthrown.
I am an Allianceman, and I am heart
ily in favor of any demand made by my
brethren, excepting only two, viz: the
sub-treasury bill aud the election d
Senators by a popular vote. I am an Al
lianceman because I conceive the princi
ples of the Alliance to be Democratic in
the fullest and best sense. 1 believe the
Alliancemen and the Democrats stand
upon common ground and that they are
contending for a common good, aud I
want to sec them unite thoir forces la
this crisis, and conquer the victory for the
people which I believe to be easily with
in their power.
It is proper for me to say that I bave
written at the request of the editor of the
Chronicle; and without such a request 1
would not have written at all. If what I
have written shall do any good, there will
bejust so much gained; aid what I have
written can do no harm, for I am not
authorized to speak for anybody else but
myself; and I am not a candidate for any
office uo, not even for the presidency of
a debating society. State Chronicle.
