Cj}t ff?St?t bmw m? S oui jiiw WEDNESDAY. MAY 28. The Cotton Bagging Question Solved. JUNIPER, May 9-An invention which will forever solve the cotton bag? ging qa es ti OD, a process by which ramie, cotton stalks, okra stalks, pine straw or any other vegetable texture can be reduced to fibre and then woven into cloth, has assumed shape. Mr. J. D. Stanley of Eastover, S. C., ta the inventor of the process and Mr. Franklin H. Lammas of cotton gin rame and of the quiet town of Juniper, Georgia, is general manager of the whole business. Bagging factories will be erected ali over the cotton growing States, pine straw will be the material used, a new industry will be started, the cost of a covering for cotton will greatly be lessened, and the whole oountry will be immensely benefitted. Mr. Stanley's process has ben thor? oughly tested. A glance over the cor? respondence of Mr. Lammas reveals the perfect faith of experts in the busi? ness, and numerous offers of sites, etc, which he has received, show that the people are willing to give their faith a substantial backing. Mr. Stanley sold his patent to the Wilmington Fibre Company. This company has offered it at an immense profit, to an English syndicate. This syndicate holds an option which ex? pires the first of August. Should they fail to trade, an Eastern company stand ready to purchase the patent at an in? creased price. The trade is being made through Mr. Lammas, who will incor? porate his gin works into the business. Big money has already changed bands, and that bagging factories will be set up all over the country is an assured fact. Some of the factories will turn oat covering for this year's crop. The company will invest, to start on, $375,000, and will be capitalized at a million dollar?. The papers are all drawn, and it ouly remains for the money to be paid. Propositions offer? ing factory sites and an abundance of pine straw land have come in from many quarters. The South Carolina railroad, which runs from Charleston to Colombia, c?ers the use of all its land, with additional inducements for the location of factories. Messrs. Traverse & Co., the largest carriage company in New York, pro? nounce the okra fibre made by the Staoley process the best fibre for rope, bagging, ect., ever seen. The okra fibre is, in color, a beautiful white, and in strength superior to hemp or flax. Okra will grow on any soil with little cultivation, and on rich land can be grown as high as fifteen feet. It is cheaper than jute and the present tests indicate that it will make better rope than any fibre known. Okra and pine straw are both difficult to born. A lighted ma*ch hardly makes an impres? sion on the fibre of either. The value of the pine straw bagging made last season of green straw was greatly reduced by its dying the cotton which it covered. The Staoley process uses dry straw, requires no chemicals and produces a bagging that will not stain at ali.-Atlanta Journal, May 10. Let Us Have Peace. We find the following printed in The News and Courier : To tb? Editor of The News and Cou? rier : Mr. Tillman went considerably out of his way in the meeting at Ander? son to speak in the harshest manner of me. I am not a pugnacious man, and I deplore the injection of personal mst ten into this important canvass. But as I shall be at Anderson on the day (June 18) appointed by the State Demo eratic Executive Committee for a meet? ing there, I shall ask the good people assembled to hear me in vindication of my course io this campaign. I think it may interest those who heard what Mr. Tillman said of me in my absence to bear what 1 shall have to say of him in his presence. JOHN J. DAEGAN. Stateburg. S. C.. May 15. We do not know what it means, bot it does not read pleasantly. Nobody io Sooth Carolina can doubt Col. Dar gan's courage or honesty, but the above card gives grave reason for doubting hi* discretion. The people of this State have the right to demand that men who have per? sonal differences shall settle them per? sonally, between themselves. If fight? ing is necessary in any case it ought to be postponed until the campaign is over. Quiet people who attend political discus? sions should not be disturbed or endan? gered by personal brawls; and what is more, they will not submit to being so troubled. In this part of the State we have practical ideas regarding such matter?, and any gentleman who man? ifests a disposition to make trouble at a public meeting, with provocation or with? out it, on the stand or off it, is liable to find himself collared by an officer and Ignominiously marched off to the look-up. Colonel Dargan has many friends in upper Carolina who would in ordinary circumstances be delighted to see him. In this case, however, the great majori? ty of them, we th ^k. would advise bim to stay away. Se can do no good to any body and may do much harm by coming to confront Mr. Tillman at Anderson. It is of preeminent importance to the State and its every interest that this campaign shall be eooducted peacefully A ?ingle disturbance may do incalcula? ble barm. It is the duty of every b ave and patriotic man to understand those facts and govern his conduct by them If Captain Tillman goes about insulting people there ?Ul be plenty of time and opportunity to call bim to account and nothing will be lost by delay.-Green? ville New*. Tbs total wealth of the United States at the present time is given as $71 459. 000.000, which makes it the moot wealthy country on the globe. Com? pared with tbe figure of ten years ago. this shows au increase of forty-two per cent., or $18.000 000.000. This great increase in wealth and prosperity ia but a natural cons?quence in a coun? try so rich in resources and advantages, and shows also the energy, perseverance and enterprise of those who have been instrumental io developing ?ind creat? ing this vast amount of wealth. ??-mm- * ? tmmm Pimple*, blotches, scaly si?fi. ugly spots, ?ores and ulcers, abscesses roo tumors, un? healthy discharges, such as catarrh, e? 2ema, ringworm and other forms of skin diseases, ar? symptoms of blood impurity. T?ke Dr. J. H. 31?.Lean's Sarsaparilla. vlap Refase to Answer. The New York San as a role does not give good advice, bot the following taken from it may prove to be worth something. It appeared in the San ander the same heading that we have used : The census enumerators will start out on their rounds on Jane 2, two weeks from next Monday, equipped with a schedule of thirty questions. Among other objects of inquiry, they are instructed to ascertain from every eitzen and inhabitant of the United States : ..22-Whether [he or she it-] suffer? ing from acute or chronic disease, with the name of disease and length of time afflicted. "23-Whether defective in mind, sight, hearing or speech ; or whether crippled, maimed or deformed, and name of defect. ?'24-Whether a prisoner, convict, homeless child, pauper. "25 and 26-Is the home you live in hired, or is it owned by the head or by a member of the family ? "27-if owned by head or member of family, is tbs house free from mort? gage encumbrance ? ? .28-If the bead of the family is a farmer, is the farm which he cultivates hired, or is it owned by him or by a member of his family ? *?29-If owned by head or member of family, is the farm free from mort? gage encumbrance ? ? .30-If the home or farm is not owned by head or member of family and mortgaged, give the post office address of owner." "We advise every citizen- and in? habitant who respects himself and is disposed to resent an impertinent, un? warranted, and illegal intrusion into his private affairs, to refuse flatly to answer any of the questions here quoted from the schedule. Not one of them is within the Constitutional scope of the Federal census. Not one of them is justified by necessity or propriety. The census takers have no more busi aess to investigate the chronic maladies, the bodily defects, and the private .tccount books of the people living under this free goverement than they have to inquire into our loves and hatreds, our moral weaknesses, our secret sorrows [t would be just as legitimate and legal i proceeding for the enumerators to present themselves with pencil and cardboard and to demand, under penal? ly of a ?30 ?ne, true answer to the inquires here subjoined : "If married, do you really love your ?vi fe or husband, or do yoa ou ly pretend ;o?" "What secret doubts, if any, do you iutertain relative to the existence of a Supreme Being T9 ? Is there anything in your past life >f which yoa are ashamed, and if so, what is it?" "What is the amount of your in leb'edness to your tailor, your dress? maker, your botcher, your milkman ? Does your next door neighbor pay bis debts ?" A DUTY TO YOURSELF.

People who become greatly displeased with something they find io a newspaper should remember that the very thing that displeases them is exactly the tbiog that will most please somebody that has just as much inter? est in ibe paper as they have. It takes all kinds of people to make a world, we are told, and the patrons of a news? paper are made up of the elements of the world. A man may have a dislike for tobacco, but he is not foolish enough to complain of his grocery mao because he keeps it for sale.
