A New Bagging Fibre.
Wm. E. Jackson, Esq.,of Augusta,
Ga., has succeeded in making a ma
chine for the manufacture of bagging
from the cotton stalk, and has return
ed from New York with a roll of the
bagging made Irom it, which is pro-
nounccd by expert cotton men to be
fully equal to any other bagging ma
terial, being quite as strong as jute,
less inflammable, and only a shade
darker. He estimates that he can af
ford to pay about 82 per ton for cot
ton stalks delivered at the mills mak
ing this bagging.
Here is another imuortant use to
which the cotton plant can be applied
takes all of the plant not previously
utilized. If Mr. Jackson’s enterprise
proves a success economically—if the
cotton stalk bagging can be made as
cheap as jute—it will keep at home
millions of dollars uow scut elsewhere
for bagging.
The cotton stalks have heretofore
been a troublesome iucumbranco of
the gleaned fields. They had to bo
beaten down and burned or plowed in
for the succeeding crop. But if very
little more labor can gather and car
ry them to tho mil's, whero they will
command 82 per ton, they will here
after bo a source of profit instead of
annoyance.
The old claim that “cotton is king’
must bo renewed when the industry of
making from its stalks the bagging to
bale the fiblo is in successful operation.
No other important plant of the coun
try will then be so fully utilffietf.
With the fibre to clolhe the mill}
of all Christendom, the oil tom'afee
the cleanest and most wholesome lard
for culinary purposes, the enko and
the hulls to fatten cattle and fertilize
lands, and the stalk to make bagging,
it wiii bo truly a royal plant, useful
for many purposes at home, and in
dispensable for nil the world. Ours is
tho most fortunate section of the coun
try in tho possession of such a plant.
Let its utilization be made complete,
and it must always bo a profitable
crop, however other products may be
depressed.—Atlanta Journal.
They Wont Stick.
The editor of the Whigham Ad
vance is not “stuck” on Watinnmakcr
for the reason that lii3 stamps do not
stick. Hear him :
We think that when wo pay two
cents for a postnge stamp thnt we
should be entitled to mucilage enough
on the stamp to make it adhere to the
envelope, but Mr. Wannamaker’s
new issue does not do it.”
Suppose our esteemed cotemporary
goes to Washington and licks Wanna-
maker, instead of trying to lick his
stamps. The country would wish the
editor of the Advaucc well in the un
dertaking.
Thero will be many monster labor
demonstrations, both in this country
and in Europe, on the first of May.
Labor is restless. Tho signs are omi
nous of trouble between capital and
labor. *
The republicans in Congress arc
opposed to the Australian ballot sys
tem. Of coutso they ore ; it insures
an honest vote. Mr. Cleveland favors
the system.
It is fashionable in the great and
growing West for editors to call each
other Ananias and Judas Iscariot.
And they use capitals every time.
The West is a great country.
