THK. L’liWEIi tOVEKINU FOR COT
TON-
Ah the fight the fttnuers are malt-
iogugHiUHt tlu* jute hugging trust
i« attracting u gn-aJ deal of atten-
tiou thioughout tbe anttnli regin
and tbe country generally, a few
word* couceindug tbe matter will
no doubt be interesting to onr
■eadera. So much bus bet n writ
ten oa thiSHulij ut recently that we
suppose most ut onr readers are
familiar with the state ot affairs, so
we will only give a brief sketch of
tbe fmstu belli tu tl tbe situathnafe
present as we uudersiaud it.
Last year tbe toauu tact ut era of
jute bugging in tbis-country having
a de sire for larger dividends, and
tbu conditions being favorable,
combined and formed what is
known as a '‘Trust,” whereby they
pat np the price of bagging ive or
six ceate higher than it was the
season before. The co ton pro
ducers fought this advance as well
as they could by UMngas little new
baggiug as. possible, and nsed in
stead cottou cloth, second band
bagging, pine straw bugging and
any thing else that they could
cover tbeir cotton with to make it
markokHble, and though they made
a gallant effort, circumstances, were
against them. Tbe desigua of tbe
Trust were uot known until it was
too late to. provide a suitable sub
stitute for j ate bagging, and tbe
Trust, no doubt, made a large
amount of money.
This year the intentions of tbe
Trust are known in time, and al
ready tbe farmers have been bold,
ing meetings to discuss the ques
tion and devise some way to defeat
them. A meeting of Southern
Mauufactnrers, at which represec
tatives of the Aliiauce and other
orgauizations of farmers were pres
ent by invitation, whs held iu
Augusta, tta., on May 1st. It was
decided there to use cotton baggiug
instead of jute, and tbe Alliances
of Georgia aud South Carolina
agreed to use at ?east three million
yardsot the cotton baggiug, the
matiufrcLuiers contracting to give
10 eta additional per hundred
pounds for every bale ot cotton so
covered Another convention, com
posed of representatives of tbe AU
liauce, Wheel, and Union, embrac
ing tbe cotton grow iug States, was
held in Birmingham, Aia., on May
15th. This convention also adopted
cotton baggiug aa a perniauaut
covering for cotton, aud appointed
a committee to confer with the cot
ton exchange!*, buyers, and mauu-
factories to secure a reduction of
tare ou cotton covered with cotton
bagging.
The only cotton bagging that
can be bought in time fur the next
season is 37 inches wide, weighs
three-fourths of a pound per yard,
aud will cost 12 1-2 cents per yard
at the mills, (say 13 cents here,)
aud t will take 7 yards to cover a
bale. It is being manufactured by
the Park Lane Mills ef New Or
leans, anil the West Point Mills of
West Point, Ga. As soon as tbe
demand increases other mills will
manufacture it, and it will be made
wider, heavier and cheaper.
The cotton bagging will he more
expensive tais season than the jute
bagging, provided tbe samo tare is
taken off for both, as the farmer
will lose on every bale, first, the
difference in tbe cost of the two
kinds of bagging, aud, seocndly a
number of pounds ou each bale
which sball be equal to tbe differ
ence in weight between tbe jute
and tbe cotton bagging ; to i luss
trate: Seven yards of oottou bag
ging at | iba per yard equal to 5f
lbs; costs 13 ee: ts is equal to 91
cents. Six yatds of jute bagging
at 2 lbs per yard is equal to 12
Iba, cost say 78 cents; loss on cot
ton baggiug by tbe difference in
weight, which must be made
up iu actual cotton, 0} lbs at aay 9
cents equal to 60} cents. To this
mast be added 13 cents difterenee
Jn tbe coat of the two kinds of bagv
giog which makes 73} cants per
bale.
But we have ao doubt that tlie
matter of tare, (that ia, the actual
weight of the bagging aud ties
used! wbieb amount is always de
ducted iu European markets from
the gross weight of tbe bale, aud
wbieb the eotton producer loses,
though, like the tariff, it is worked
C<tn»‘derHfioti U list lb** price o! jute
bagging might hoee hte* IihiI the
Trust met with no oppos lion, tbe
saving to the planter will be coo*
side ia) tic.
After a c»n ful cousid'-rittion of
the subject, we are decidedly of tbe
opinion tlint it is to tbe interest of
the cotton pio.luyer to use cotton
bagging itiebead of jute, for tbe fpl
lowing reasons, viz: It crea'es a
demand for a grade of cottou that
now brings a \ ety low prec, and as
it would icquire about one hundred
ihout-tkiid ha va to HMke bagging
for sevsn million bales,, it would
n<cesM,nly increase the pj he of cot-
ten. ki will g.' pi'lati’ afoteign pro
duct whicb-iis itupot t« d totbiscou n
try after payirg heavy duty aud
which iueamiy controlled by Trusts;
in Us stead we have a product in
which wears viially interested, and
which it would bo impossible for a
Trust to control, ft would keep
over 26,0001,( 06 }t be money paid for
bagging) at borne instead ot paying
it, as we do uow. to persons not
living in tbe cotton region.
Of course tbe Tfaat will make
d* sjierate efforts to drive out other
kinds of higgiiig Thy will put
dowu the piice of jute extremely
iow, audit will baa trial of one’s
principles to use the cotton bag
ging; but tbe farmers haring goue
into ibis fight cannot afford to lose
it. Defeat means to them, particu
laily to the AUiaiice, demoraliza
tion and ruin; thty would become
disheartened and au easy prey to
monopolies and trosts. Tbe farm
er must lemember that they are
working uut for this year alone, bat
for tbe years to coma; they must
remember wbat tbe Trust has done
and would do again it it had ibe
power. Bat iu this section tbe
farmers seem to be alive in tbe
matter; already a large order has
been given for cotton bagging, and
more will follow. They must keep
up tbe fight; tbe “tonch of the el
bow” must be felt “all along tbe
line,” They have the sympathy
and good wishes of all of their tel
low citizens. The game is iu their
own hands ; they have but to tie
true to them (elves aud tbeir own
interests and victory is theirs.
“bravoT welTdone!’*
The peop'e of the Pee Dee Secs
tion have reason to feel grateful to
the Wetet aad Courier for its ready
respouse to the complaints made in
regard to tbe lateness of tbe hour
at which oommunioation from the
outside world is bad here. Appre
ciating the disadvantages of the
new schedule, the News anti Courier
has done much to remedy the evi
by making arrangements with the
railroad authorities to have the pa
per served to its Pee Dee subacrib
ers on the morning of publication
To accomplish this a special erii
tion is nectssary, and theenterpiig
ingjonmal has gout to much trouble

tains ail the news received np to
that time. The paper is mailed at
1.15 and reaches Darlington on the
fieigbt at 7.30 A. M., so that
though a hundred aud ten miles
from GharlcRton, we can read onr
papers at bieakfaat time Just as if
we were living iu the metropolis.
We will lose nothing by teasoii
of our edition going to press
slightly earlier than heretofore, for
all the ueua received after one
o’clock wilt appear iu next da.\’i
pa (ter. That the yetet and Courier
should be so mindful ot our inters
ests aud so ready witli tbeir assist
auce is deserving of our moat bears
ty appreciation, and we but voice
the srutimeuts of every one in this
section of the State when we aay,
“Bravo! Well done!”

A GOOD APPOINTMENT.
The President ou Friday last,
appointed AbiaI Lathiop,oi Orange
burg, Disiiict Attorney for Somh
Carolina.. Mr. Latbrop, who is a
Northerner by birth, moved to
Oiangeburg in 1876, or account of
bis heulth. He m irii d ibeio aud
has become ideutifitd with the
people of that community and
while be-haa aJwa s been a Re
publican on Rational issues, be has
affiliated with tb# Democrats i.Q
State and local politics iu the in
terest c f good government. Be is
a man of good parts and is. said, to
be a lawyer of ability. There is no
better iqdex to his character than
the fact that be is held in high
esteem by those who know him
best.
Tbe Preaident bas acted wisely in
making this selection and nas dune
justice to bimself aud to the people
of South Carolina by ignoring the
old worn out leaders of the straight
out negro Republican party ai d (be
self appointed leaders of tbe myth,

Washington Letter-
(From Our Regular Curreepomlrnl.)
Washington, May‘Jlth,'89.
“Harrison has a weak back
bom ,” said a Republican S> naior,
aud it is constantly growing weak
er. There is every iudicat on ibat
we are to havu a rej etilion of the
worse teat un g in the Haves and
Arthur administrations.” This
language was ustd by a man who
is g< nt-rally regndt d as bring very
fiieudly to the administration, aud
there is no doubt that he is, bat he
was asked by a Republican friend
his opinion of tbe President and he
gave it without reserve. Aud tbe
known facts in a number of cam s
bear tbe Senator’s statement ns to
a weak backbone out. For instance
he wants to put his old law paitner,
Aitoruey Gem ral Miller, on the
Supreme Court b<gch, but owing
to a vigoious protest from the In
diauaRepublicans, who want Judge
Woods of that State appointed, be
does nothing. Again ; In the ear
ly days of the administration John
Wunamaker selected a business
man of Pbilad, Ipbia to be postmas
ter at that city, and Mr. llairisou
lacked the nerve to make the ap
poiutment, Aud again: Sometime
ago John Sherman was promised
that exsCongressmau Hart, of
Ohio, fehouid be appointed Soiici
tor General, Hart waa telegraphed
tosud told to come on and get the
appointment- Quay made a bjg
row acciisingSheiman of lying, etc.,
and intimating that the adminis
tration might go to^Jerivbo, for
all he caied. Once more Harrison’s
back bone went back op him and
Han’s appointment has uot yet
been made out. The coses men
tioued are all well kuowu, doubt*
less there are roanv similar ones
that tbe public never hears of, but
these are sufficient to prove that
the Senator*’ipd jot men t iaotrne
one.
It seems to be generally believed
tbe Republicans that Harrison will
call au extra sea-ion ot Congress iu
October. Of course everybody
knows that there is no earthly occa
sion for au extra session except to
give the Republicans two months
to fight over the organization of
the Honse aud to perfect tbeir ar
rangements to get at least three-
fourths of the contested seats,
Blaine, W iudom aud Proctor de
ay that they propose resigning, as
was rumored.
Oklahoma can’t have a national
bank. So says tbe Attorney Gen
eral to whom tbe application was
referred by the Tieasury depart
ment.
Some absurd rumors aooat tbe
sending of au English man of war
to Alaskan waters to prevent the
provisions of Harrison’s recent
proclamation, as to the seizure of
all vessels found illegslly taking
seals, from being carried ont, for
cibly if necessary, have been float-
ing around here Ibis week bat na
body seenud to tuke any stock in
them.
Jostioe Miller, of tbe Supreme
Court, having iaihdtio bia purpose
of getting ex-Secretary of War Me-
Greaiy, appointed ga bis successor,
or rather in getting a promise to
that t-ffvet from Harrison, now say<* |
that be has no intention of tetirin .
