LIKE ROUNDLAP BALES.
Opinions of Cotton Farmers and dinners
after a Seasons Experience.
The attitude of cotton ginners and
farmers toward the Round lap cotton bale
of the American Cotton Company, after
a season’s test of the machine, is illus-
trated by a letter received recently by
the editor of the Manufacturers Record,
Baltimore, as follows: Editor Manu-
facturers’ Record ; Some time ago you
requested us to give you our opinion of
the American Cotton Co.’s cylindrical
press. At that time we were unable to
give our views correctly, owing to the
short time we had operated the press.
Now that the ginning season has closed,
we can unquestionably say that the press
is a success in every particular, not only
from a ginner’s standpoint, but as prac-
tical farmers. The results from sale of
our cotton have been eminently satis-
factory and much beyond what we had
anticipited. The advantages to planter
and operator are so many that it would
take up too much space to enumerate
them. It is sufficient to say that no one
who has baled their cotton on this press
would now or hereafter patronize any
other. And why should they ? Their
ginning charges are less than the square
ftress people charge, and they receive
rum one-quarter to one-half cent per
pound more than they could get in the
square bale. There is no question about
the round bale being here to stay, and
we would advise the ginmen, especially
those who are near a railroad, to get in
the awim at once and exemplify the old
adage of the early bird getting the worm.
They will not only benefit themselves,
buttheir friends, the farmers, will get
the cream that the middlemen, the com-
minion merchants, have been enjoying
and getting rich upon. In conclusion,
to condense the advantages, will say that
the bale is fireproof, waterproof, dust-
prc<><, and proof that it is a labor-saving
ant. <4eney making bale to

Navel Man and Vessels.
Washington, Feb 14—The secretary
of the navy has sent to the senate a
statement of the number of vessels
nnder construction and of naval officers
available. The statement was made in
response to a resolution of inquiry. It
•hows that there are 81 vessels, of all
classes now building and that with
these vessels in commission together
with those now in use would require
8000 officers, whereas there are now
only 1084 officers. There are 14 000 men
