Tiik Question of Baooino.?Tho position
Af 4k. ' - - IS" ' |S " ? jr.
of the bagging question has been commended.
The Chronicle believes that in. doing
this it will prove itself the best friend of tho
^ farmer. It is more friendly to givo a man
advice that is true than advice which is
agreeable. We have not hesitated, cither in
politics or practical subjects, to speak out,
and while our position has sometimes been
misrepresented, the the result has always
justified the wisdom of candor and common
sense.
It seems to be the general impression that
cotton bagging has not been satisfactory as
a covering for cotton bales. It is high, costing
something like thirteen cents a yard,
while the shippers and exporters find it
#necos?ary to tear it off and robale in juto.
What the farmer Iojoi the exporter gains in
weight.
Tne Chronicle has no interest i" ju c. II
the farmer doos not want to use this ns n
permanent wrap lot him wntcli the development
of the cotton s'a'.k machine and encourage
the Augusta company now forming
for decorticafing this fibrr.
But it would scorn that the firmer would

Situation.?Col. John 0. Haskell a
member of the Nat onal Democratic commit- ,
tec from youth Carolina, is at tho St. James i
Hotel. He said last night that the political
situation in his State pointed clearly to the
election of Tillman, the candidate of the
Farmers' Alliance, for Governor. In tho
opinion of Col. Haskell, Tillman seas not a
fit man for the place he seeks, but lie had
taken advantage of the Farmers' Aldance
erase an I had come out as the leader of the
peop'e. Whit was still more important be
hud captured the Demooratlo machine in
South Carolina, and tho old-line conservative
Democrats were confronted with the allertmt
vo of either swallowing Tillman or elso
f ? -rr g in tho role of bolters.
<>.' the t?o evils Col. Haskell thought tho
So..ill Carol na Democrats would probably
nccopi Tillman on the ground that it is better
politics to tho seeming integrity of the
Democracy of the Slate than to croutc an
open lire ich. Meanwhile it was to be hoped
that the people of South Carolina would
shikc olf the madness that possesses them
now nod nivake to the necessity of preserving
their interests. The policy of the Farmers'
Alliance was to demand everything and
promise its pos-dhle good will in return.

llaskel', "and nt this Convention a candidate
for Gorernor will be nominated. 1 have no
doubt nt all thnt Tillman will be this nominee.
lie C'intro's the machine, which he
gained while we slept and lie will mo it.
That he will be the ^icxt Governor seems
certain. I really do not think that there
will he any open opposition to him. There
are two other questions which are concornc 1
in this political movement?a United States
Senator, to' succeed (len. Wade Hampton,
- own^ucc-*o!Tfo "
cannot ootfeeive or a condition of affairs
which would result in tbo election of any
ono else. Our poople are mad with the
Farmers' Al iance fever, but they are not so
mad as to repudiate Uen. Hampton.
"With regard to the Slate debt I am much
afraid that these people will nol he able to
handle the matter. They have had no experience
in public finance, and, under lite
leadership of Tillman, they may do the
Stale nn injury thnt will ho well-nigh irreparable.
Still, I think it is wise to lot the
people of South Carolina'go ahead and elect
Tfllman."
Judge Alexandor C. Haskell, of South
Carolina, is also at the St. James. He docs
not ngrec with Col. Haskell as to the policy
to be pursued by the South Carolinians in
lhe present emergency. He denounces
Ttllman as a demagogue, and says that ho
should ho opposed at every hazard, and although
defeat were certain. He thinks that
the respectability of the South Carolina
Democrats demands this. Moreover, he
does not regard the situation as hopeless.
He believes that if ilie regular
I) mocrats were, to .oiyauwe it iwnn
tliey coma suu ticiciu Tinman, not- i
of the State machine. Judge Haskell believes
that if Tillman it successful in South
Carolina he will succeed Gen. Hampton in

Tiik Georgia Almancr Kxciianor in a

of the charges made against Felix
Corpul, ex-president of the Alliance exchange,
has resulted in the vindication of
Corput personally, but puts the exchange in
a decidedly peculiar light. The committee
fiuds that the percentages demanded by
Corput were for the exchange and not for
himself. In other words, the Alliance oxchange
is in the attitude of authorizing any
firm to ropresent it," the exchange agreolng
to pro'ect them in any prices put upon the
farmers, provided a brokerage i? paid the
' exchange.
When Corpul was president ?:1,000 went
to hiui per year as salary, and $:l,<)00 a year
goes to the secro'ary. The Alliance indul;

County, met at this place on August 6.? '
llarry Tracy, "the 8tm Jones of Texas," as 1
he is dubbed by his friend. Dr. C. W. J
Mucune, of the National Economist, has
like
"Toe King of France, with forty thousaud
men,
Marcbod up tbobill and then marched down
aga:n."
For about six weeks be was here eanraising
thin, his bouie county, in order to defeat
Hon. K. Q. Mills, our Representative in
Congress, for renomioaiion, and he has
utterly and signally failed. He and his
active political Alliance friends attempted to
frighten Mr. Mills into the support of that
base political fraud, the sub-treasury bill ?
the most, undemocratic of all measures now
before the country, except Speaker Reed's
election bill.
Mr. Mills preferred defeat to abandonment
of the principles for which he had contended
during his life, and ro informed Tracy
and his minions. They grew angry osteiw
sbly, and declared war against Sir. Mills,
passed resolutions in the County Alliance
condemning Mr. Mills and dcc'ariog against
him. These resolutions denouncing bim
were published io the National Economitl
and widely circulated. Harry Tracy, in a
miserable conglomeration of nonsonsical
gush, styled a reply to Mr. Mills, also published
in the Economitt, denounced Mr.
Mills as sn arrant demngogue. Harry got a
Congressional bee in his bonnet and felt
around among his friends to find out his
chances for Congress as Hon. Roger's successor.
On August 2, the precinct primary was
lmJjL.ja' Vnakdole. ilia iuiine precinct of
HSfry, and Harry wAjT iip, so it Is said,
against Mr. Mills. Thore were 60 rotes in
th?s convention. Mr. Mills roceived 62
rotes and "the 8am Jones of Texas" received
8 votes. The latter was a delegate to
the county convention. Thore were in this
convention 136 voles. Mr. Mills received
106, against 30. lliyry was not up here.?
He did not have the courage to get ud.?
Harry lias been defeated in his homo county
on every proposition he has made. Truo
Democracy prevails hero. Tracy, Maoune,

fraud and other anti-Domocratio measures,

Those gentlemen may republisaniie North
