THEY SEE THE POINT.
Some Facts Which Exist as Between the
Round and Square Bale.
Farmers are making figures.
Some of them have been bringing
their cotton to market in the seed;
some of them have hauled it over
thirty miles but the scales are
falling from their eyes.
One man brought his load of
1500 pounds twelve miles and sold
it for 2 cents which netted him
$37.. TO. This man was out of his
cotton patch one day and was away
from home one night and had to
pay wagon yard fees besides. He
picked another bale but had it
ginned at his country gin. This
1500 pounds made him a 500 pound
bale of lint cotton which he sold
at $G.95 on the market netting him
$34.75. He then sold his cotton
seed thirty-two bushels at 18
cents which netted him $5.75
making a total of $40.50. Now
deduct what he paid for ginning
$2.50 and for bagging and ties
75 cents and this will make $3.25
to be deducted from the $40.50
which will show a net result of
$37.25.
This shows that the farmer gets
25 cents for. a day's work of him-
self and team besides being away
from home and his family one
night and one day; his wagon yard
fees and besides he looses the fine
planting seed which he has been so
careful to merture and improve.
Still this is not all for next spring
at planting time he will probably
have to pay from 50 cents to $1 a
bushel for seed which he reads
about but knows nothing of for
planting purposes and the only
consolation he has is that he is in-
dividually helping create one of the
grandest monopolies ever found in
any country.

SERIOUS GIN FIRB.
The Round Bale Ola has Narrew Escape.
Seed Cotton House Destroyed.
About 11:30 o'clock this ore-
noon a fire alarm was t; rned in from
the round bale gin. The fire ori-
ginated supposedly from a match
passing through thj suction flue
to the seed cotton Louse. The cot
ton was being unlr aded from a ne-
gro woman's wag m and the first
evidence of fire vas a blaze" from
the mouth of th; suction flue in the
building.
The blaze fpread rapidly over
the entire building a structure 30
by GO feet and it quickly burned to
the ground.
The fire department had arrived
in the mean time but owing to the
depth of th' wr 11 the engine hose
could not reaca the water.
A run was then made for the old
tank east of the railroad and "L.
L. Strwe" got down to business
right. Tho gin house and all the
machinery was left intact the on
Iy building destroyed being the one
already mentioned.
An Ardmoreite representative
saw Mr. Grantham shortly after
the fire and from him learned that
the building contained 120000
pourds of seed cotton which cost
an average of 2 cents per pound.
Of this amount 70000 pounds was
injured with an insurance firm in
F.ouston. There was no insurance
with any Ardmore agency.
While Mr. Grantham deplored
the loss of property and stock he
felt gratified that it was not greater
and had only good words for Ard-
more's fire department who while
handicapped for water in the out-
start proved themselves equal to
the occasion by their run across
the railroad track.
Of course this will stop the
machinery of this enterprise for a
while but the work of rebuilding
will at once go on and it will only
be a short time until the plant will
again be in operation.
