Wagener A Co., of Charleston, have issued the follows ing circular: Tbs average quantity required of 45 inch jote bagging per bale ia6£ yards, or for a 7,000,000 bale crop, 45,000,000 yards. The quotatioun to day tor It pound bagging (tbe weight generally used) are 8t New York ; 8t Chat lesion; 8t New Or leans, averaging, nay, 81c. per yard. 45,000,000 yards, at 81, cost 9 4,038125 This, at It lbs per yard, weighs 78.750,000 lbs, which sold an cottou at 9c. is 7,087,500 Showing profit to the planter 9 3,049,375 Cotton bagging, as now made, is 33 i itches wide, and will require 8 yards to equal 61 yards of jute bagging. For a 7,000,000 bale crop this would re. quire 56,000,000 yds: which at 121c., would cost the planters of the South 9 7,000,000 At 31 lbs per yard, this would weigh 42,000,- 000 Ibn; which ajld an cotton at 9 cents, would bo 3,730,000 Bhowiug a loss to the planter on a 7,000,000 bale crop 3,220,000 The actual difference to the South of substitu ting cotton for jute bagging would, there- fore, be un aciiial loss on the cottou bugging of 9 3.220,000 And throwiugaway pro fits on jute of 3,049,375 Which is equal to 90c per bale, or 9 6,269.375 There In, Itesidcs, great uncertain ty »s tbe snitibleness if this thin 3 4 pound cotton bagging, as pro per protection of cotton against Weather and dirt, and the grout probability also that all cotton tor export may, when it reaches the vessel, have to be recovered, at i he expense of the interior seller. When it tins been arranged with the marketa of the wot id to take cotton at actual tare, it may be well, possibly, for planters to cover their cotton with cotton covs enng; but until this has been sat> infactorily adjusted, the rerult of this new departure may prove to be a serious loss to the South, and it will be Weil for tbe people to go slowly until it has been positively established with tbe trade as to this very important matter. We would suggest that tbe planters correspond with the cottou ex» changes, and if possible arrange to have tare of cotton covering deter mined. This will require time, bat is better to start right than by tak ing tbs chances to lose mi lions. Tbe motto of our farmers should be: “Be sore yon are right and then go ahead,” and they shonld not allow a prejudice to get tbe better of their judgments. Yours truly, F. W. Waoener A Co. According to tbe above, the farm ers are prepaiiogto throw away something like 93,009,000. But tbe Atlanta Journal takes up tbe other side of the question and shows that the cotton producer will make, in- stssd of lose, by using cotton bag- Sing, aa will be aeeu from tbe foi. loWIag: Mean. Wagener A Co. admit “at a new phase of the problem would be presented if the question of tare on cotton doth was settled. " «* are gtsd to give them some »'e*ii. The Cotton Exchange of Or.e.iint endorses the demand o< tne National Alliance for the al **»• all coi ton covered bales, * • <1 . i- nu „u tne other cotton ex- to follow their lead. We think the Charleston firm ban blundered some in its figoren. We are not accastomed to bundling mil lions, so we will estimate on one bale of cotton. That is more modest. Jute bagging will be worth 9t cents per yard, if not more. It certainly will not be sold for loss, voluntarily. A syndicate of hugging nianufac turers met the committee from the alliance in Birmingham, and that istbelow.st price that sou Id be guaranteed, Six and a half yard of jute bagging is required to cover a bale of cotton, and at 9 18 cents a yard tbe cost |»er bale will lie a little less tbiin sixty cents. This maoh the farmer innst, pay tbe jute men. He will, in selling his cotton, get pay for bis begging at 9 cents a yard. Six and a half yards, weigh ing one and three fourth ixiunds per yard and- sold at 9 cents will bring him 91 02, making a net gain of 42 cents, whiith tbe tanner makes on bis jute bagging. How about the cloth f He must have seven yards at 12 1-2 cents. It will weigh 51 pounds, and when be sells bis cotton at nine cents he will get fortyvseven cents He is allowed eight pounds tare on cotton cloth (none on jute), which, at 9 cents a pound, will be 47 72 116 Making a net gain of 3112 cents on the l ale. Bat it is estimated, and we think the estimate a safe and conserva tive one, that 126,000 bales of cot ton will be consumed in making tbe cotton cloth, and that the con sumption of this much will raise tbe price one eighth of a cent per pound, or 56 cents for a bale of 450 pounds. Add this to the gain of 311.2 cents, and we have for cottou cloth a gain of 87 1 2 cents as against 40 cents for jute. And who can estimate tha vast benefit to tbs Southern uoaiitj.v which will result from the spending of the millions of dollars in onr own Section in the manulactareof cottou clothf It will tie manufactured from tbe product of Southern Helds by Southern labor in Southern mills and will be handled al< tie by South ern men. Every dollar ol the pros ceeds will be spent in the South. Vast and fat reaching will be the benefit. Who will not aid it ! Who will not wish it God speed ? The jute men are now willing to sell their stuff at 9 18 cent* per yard. Last seas jii the> demanded 13 to 14, and squeezed the farmers out of millions. We feel like shout ing halleluiah when we realize that they cmnot do so any more. Story of a Bedstead- It was night. The boarding hou«e was wrapt in tenebrous gl<>om, faintly tinted with an oidor of kerosene. Suddenly there arise on the nira yell, followed by wild objurgations and furious anath< mas. Then there was a clanking and rattling, as of an over turned pick et fence, and another yell *i<b more anathemas. The lasted hoarders listened, and, ghostly clad, tip toed along to Buffoin’srooin,—bent But fum A Bird, second-hand furniture dealers. As they stood there, there was a whiz a grinding, a rattling and a bang, and more yells. They consulted, and knocked on the door. “Come in.” “Open it.” “I can’t.” Convinjed that Buffum was in bis last agony, they knocked in tbe door with a bedpost, Tbe sight was ghastly. Clasped between two sturdy, though slen der, frames of walnnt, Buffum, pale as a ghost, was six feet up in tbe air. He couldn't move. He was caught like a bear ru a log-trap. “What on earth is it f” they said. “Bedstead—combination. New patent I was tellin’ you about,” gasped Buffum. His story was simple, though feaifui. He had brought it home that day ; and, after using it for a writing desk, had opened it out and made bis bed. He was going peace- folly to dream-land, when he rolled over, and accidentally touched a spnug. The faithful invention im mediately became a doable crib, and turned Buffum into a squalling wafer. Then he straggled, and was reaching aioand for tbe springs when tbe patent bedstead thought it would show off some more, and straightened out, and shot op in the air, and was a clothes horse. Baf tarn said he didn’t like to be clothes, and would give the thing to any body that would get him ont. They said they would try. They didn’t want any soob fire-extinguisher as that for tbeir trouble, but they would try. They inspected it cau tiously. They walked all around it. Then the commission merchant laid hia little finger on tbe top end of it. The thing snorted and reared aa if it had been shot, slapped over with a bang, and b.‘oatne an extension- table for ten people. When they recovered from the panto, they came back. They found the oommiasison- merchant in a corner trying to get breath enough to swear, while he tabbed bis shins. Buffum bad dis appeared, bat they knew he bad not gone far. The invention sp- DARLINGTON, S. 0, THURSDAY, JUNE 27. 1889. peared to have taken a fancy to him, and incorpoiated him into the firm, so to speak. He waa down underneath, straddling one of the legs, with his head jammed into tbe mattresa Nobody dared to toneb it The landlady got a club and readied for its vital parts, but could not find them. She hammer ed her breath away ; and when she got through, and dropped the club in despair, the thing spread out its arms with a gasp and a rattle, tamed over twice, and slapped it* self into a bed again, with Buffum peacefully among the sheets. He held bis breatb fora minute; and then, watching his opportunity, made a dying leap to the floor, just in time to save himself from being a foldiug-screeu. A man with a black eye and cut lip told the “Wasp” editor about it yesterday He said be owned the patent, that Buffum had beeu ex plaining to him how it worked.— 8an Francisco “Wasp” Cleveland in 1892- Senator Morgan, of Alabama, said the other day : “1 am not at all surprised, but am gratified, that Mr. Cleveland has again expressed bis well known views on the ques tion of the tariff aud other maiteis of national policy so successfully inaugurated and pursued under his administration. I look upon Mr. Cleveland as one of tbe best inform ed and most conscientious men in the United States. I am glad be has so expressed himself. His ad ministration ot the Government was one of intogriti aud great ability and will compare favorably with that ot any other which the coun try has ever had. “The Government and his people are certainly very mnch better for having had the benefit and expe rience of his npright, straightfor ward, honest splendid administra tion of pubiiu affairs for four years. His honesty and uprightness were universally acknowledged, aud tbe people appreciate the value of bis great services. “Mr. Cleveland is not a candi date for President. Personally he cares very little about it, and on all occasions he expressed his regret for his defeat more on account of tbe South than on soy personal disappointment. The principles he has so ably ami manfully and bravely upheld, and fallen in main- t.iiiimg, can never d e, but will sure ly prevail, arid when the time comes to select .i candidate tor the Presi dency to lead tbe Democratic party to victory, unless there is some great revolution of sentiment aud change in the popular mind, the pi ople will rise up in thmr might a id name Mr. Cleveland to load the Democratic host and the great prin ciples of tariff' reform and honest Goveiuun ut to a tr iumphant aud g orlous success. “From the present outlook Mr. Clwelaud’s u ill be the only name mentioned in convention for the Democratic nomination for Presi dent in 1892.” Cotton Ginning. (LB. Rogers, in Marion Index.) About three weeks ago Dr. J. H. David aud my sell were appointed a committee of the directors ot the Dillon Gotton Seed Oil Mill Com pany to go to Darlington to examine in o the workings of the public giu- nery which is operated there by the Darlington Milling Ginning and Manufacturing Company and tore- port the result of our examiuatiou to the directors of the Dillon Com pany. Mr. C. S. McCullough is the Superintendent of the Darlington company and one of its largest stock holders and we had a long confer ence with him in reference to tbe work of his company daring tbe last year. The Darlington com pany not only gins cotton bat also makes fertilizers and does a general milling business. 1 asked Mr Mc- Collongh this question: ‘Did your giu nery pay yon interest on your money V and be replied that it did not. The report that the Darlings ton ginnery last year paid a divi dend ot 30 per cent, is a mistake. The Company did make a good divi dend but this dividend was made upon all its branches of business combined ard not in its ginning de partment. Mr. McCnliongh says be would strongly advise ns to pat in a guano mill in connection with the oil mill as fertilizers can be ruanufactnrrd here with a fair pros fit. This is snbataotially the report we have to make to tbe directors of the Dillon Oil Mill Company. I letrued nothing in Darlington to encourage tbe propositiou to add a ginnery to the oil mill business at Dillou aud I am convinced that sued an addition will result in loss rather than gain to tbe stock holders of the company.

Porter, Superin. tendeut of the United States Cen sus, say*: “It is important to the country that the returns in rela'ion to farm products ami ive stock should be lull and correct. The enumerator in the house to house visit he will make daring «he mt nth of June, 1890, is coustauily ir.et with the t*ct that 'armera keep no books and h nee returns are not infrequently pness work. The cen sus year begins June 1st next and ends May 31st, 1890. If laruiers throughout the country would note this tact and keep account of the products of their farms during ihe census year it would be of material aid :n securing reliable retnrnsfor the Eleventh Census.” New Postmistress at Chesterfield.
