The country packer should compete with the larger concerns by trying to put up goods in the best manner and not in the cheapest manner. The larger packer sells his goods through brokers who continuallv call on him for a little cheaper product which will enable him to com pete with another broker, and so the tendency increases toward poorer goods. The country packer should sell, not around by way of the Baltimore or other brokers, but direct to the nearest wholesale grocer, thus keeping the money at home and benefiting both product and consumer. A Crank With a Hammer. The Columbian Liberty bell, 'which is on the way to Atlanta and thence around the world, was greeted at various towns in Illinois by throngs of citizens and school children. At Areola, a man named .Matthews, created a s.nsation by brushing through the crowd and striking the lovver rim three hard blows with a sledge hammer, making three deuts in it. He then ran back through the crowd Manager Kuapp leaped from the car and succeeded in locating the man and immediately ordered his ar rest. victory won bv the Do- j fender over the speedy rival Valkyrie III., last week off Sandy Hook, N. Y., is but a repetition of the many contests in the past, in which the gallant yankee crews and yacht designers have proved their superiority over the British cup hunters. The first 22, 1851, at Lowes, when the America, a boat built and opers ated by a syndicate, accepted the prottered hospitalities of the Royal Yacht Squadron and went across to England to try conclu sions. It entered an internation al regatta against fourteen com petitors and, though she started last, won an easy victory. The famous cup, now "the blue ribbon of the ocean' was a subrcriptiou tropy, contributed to at a general meeting of the Royal Yacht Squadron, and was sailed for without allowance of time for disparities or hull or sail. The cup was not intended as a challenge cup, but was the actual property of the owners of the America; but in Tuly i8;7. thev decided to offer it to the New York Yacht Club as a per petual challenge cup, open on specified conditions, to any or ganized yacht club in any foreign country for competition. The first challewger was Mr. James Ashbury, owner of the schooner yacht Cambria, and representing the Royal Thames Yacht Club. The challenge was promptly accepted and on Aug. S, 1870, the first race on this side for the cup was sailed and the Cambria competed with the New York Yacht Club's entire fleet of schooners. Though the Cambria was courteously given the best windvTard position, she was hopelessly beaten by the little I 11 I OOINCS OFJHE WEEK. , COTTON AT 10 CTS. News Gathered Here ! Capt.

Spain Pays The Mora Claim. After more than twenty years of negotiations, which several times threatened to bring about strained relations between Spain and the United States, a draft for the amount of the idemnity de manded by this government for the confiscation of the Cuban estates of Antonio Maxima Mora, a naturalized American citizen.. was delivered by Senoa DuPuy De Lome, the Spanish Minister, to Mr. Adee, the Acting Secre tary of State, on Saturday. All that now remains for the final settlement of the claim will be the arrangements of the assign ments made by Mr. Mora to creditors and the delivery to him of the residue. Prayers are sometimes made in church, that the devil would-be willing to take off his coat and help answer. But Mr. Ashbury was not sat isfied. So he went back to Eng land and ordered the schooner Livonia built. She was put to gether in great secrecy and reached this side on September 2, 1 87 1. Races were soon ar ranged and the first one sailed October 16, the Columbia being her opponent. It was a snap for the Columbia, she winning the races on the 16 and i8th, and losing the one on the 19th through an accident, having parted her flying jib-stay. In the next two races of the series the Livonia confronted the glor ious old Sappho and was beaten both times. F01 four years "the old mug" lay unvexed by challenges, until in April, 1876, the Royal Cana dian Yacht Club challenged. naming the schooner Countess of Dufferin as their champion. On August 11, 1876, she tried con clusions w i t h the schooner Madeleine. All three of the contests were won handilv bv he Madeleine. Four more years of rest, aud then the Bay of Quinte Yacht Club, of Belleville, Ontario; challenged Captain Cuthbert's modern sloop, Atalanta. She met, at the hands of-the sloop, Mischiel, the same fate that had come to 1 er predecessors. These races were sailed October 9th and 10th, 188 1. 1 ne next iour years was an evolutionary period in the mat ter of yacht construction. The conventional types began to be aiscaraea, ana a gradual con verging of ideas in modeling was observable on both sides of the ocean. With the single ex ception of the Sappho, all the American victories had been won with center board boats. The construction of the "knife on edge" "lead mine" cutter Madge and others of her kind marked a new era in cup con tests. When Sir Richard Sutton challenged in 1885, with the Genesta, we seemed helpless. But a Boston syndicate saw the predicament in time, and were the preservers for the time of our yachting prestige by building the wooden Puritan. The two yachts met on September 7, making three impotent effects to race. Finally on the iiththcy succeeded and the Puritan beat the Genesta handily. On the 16th the final tussle took place and one of the most soirited. closely contested and picturesque yachting battles in history res suited in another victory for the Puritan. Lieutenant Henn, with his "sardine-box" as he playfully called the Galatea next chal lenged. She met the Mayflower September 7th and was beaten in three races. The next challenge was from Vice-Corn inodore Bell, of the Royal Clyde Yacht Club. This time a flutter of doubt was felt by many Americans as to the safety of the cup. The Scotch Thistle was quick and nimble while the American Volunteer was sluggish in her movements. But the result again proved the superiority of American yacht architecture. The Thistle was hopelessly beaten every time aud her racing status firmly settled. There were now no more races for the American Cup till 1893 when Lord Dunraven's Valkyrie II., furnished the memorable struggle with the Vigilant Great progress had been made since the previous race, in yacht architecture. And none labored harder over his desiems than Nathaniel G. I Ierreshotf, of Bris tol, Rhode Island, the designer and builder of the Defender. The history of the Vigilant Valkyrie races is too fresh in the minds o all to need recounting here How the Vigilant downed the Valkyrie three straight in peer less fashion, we all remembe well. The races were sailed on the 7th, 9th and 13th. The last race was very close, the vigilant winning by only 40 seconds. In this contest the Valkyrie's spin naker split on the home run. All the belief of Lord Dunraven and his friends that but for the acci dent the English boat would have won probably, was instru mental in the building of Yal kyne III., and the about of the present contest.

Alabama, cx-Com-missioner of Agriculture, a well-known politician, has ad dressed an open letter to the cot ton planters in answer to inqui ries from various sections of the South. In it he other things: "No intelligent man who is adequately posted will take issue with me on the proposition that the present crop of cotton wil tall lar below the needs of the world's consumption for the next twelve months. In my opinion the crop cannot possibly reach 7,000,000 bales and may fall be iov u,uo,ouo. 1 tnink 1 can hlvt uuuiy reasons ior my con clusion. A wet Mav always means a short cotton crop. This is a known fact to all growers 01 cotton and stands as a tradi ir; 1. 1 , A .1 .. . 1 namieu uowu to us uy our forefathers from generation to generation, ever since the pro duction of cotton was introduced in this country. This year we do not only have the wet May, but during the three following months of June, Ju.y, and Aug ust, the rains continued over all the cotton States except Texas. If we know anything of cotton production, we must know that the cotton plant is a sun plant and not a water lily, and hence too much water has very much damaged the crop. "Then, again, too much mois ture in many sections has pros duced "rust," and the stalks, leaves aud bolls have turned red, and not hah a crop will be pro duced on such plants. In other sections the boll worms, arinv worms and sharp shooters have been very destructive and the crop nearly destroyed, besieged by all these causes. "Again, the cotton crop, in the average, is nearly one month late and an early frost would cut the crop over 1,000,000 bales. With so much moisture in the soil this year we should expect frost much earlier than usual. "As I understand the situation of the present cotton crop, after diligent inquiry, I think it pos sible and highly probable that not exceeding 6,500,000 bales will be produced. "I advise that no cotton be marketed during the next sixty to ninety days, except to meet debt and actual demand. If you hold your cotton until November and December and will then market it slowly, you are sure to get 10 cents, or more for every pound of it. Next year continue to curtail your acreage and use of fertilizer, make all your pro visions at home and do as you have been compelled to do this year against your will, and your next crop of cotton will bring 10 cents and more per pound ant: the Southern farmers will once more be a prosperous, happy people.
