ATHENS, GEORGIA, TUESDAY, APRIL 16, 1889. WHAT THEY SAY, much used then, perhaps more than any *-r all other kinds of bagging. The inquiry naturally arises, why did it not continue to be used ? Why is it that an article, the product of American la bor has ceased to be used, and an arti cle, the product of foreign labor come into use in its stead. The reply is this Jute is grown in Hindostan. The Brit ish East India company control and di rect the industrial interests of Hindos- ton. That company influenced the Liv erpool Chamber of Commerce, to reject cotton packed in hemps bagging, thus driving it from the market, and open ing an enlarged market for their jute. I This has grovfn now, to such propor tions, that the British jute grower, as sisted by the American jute manufac- | turcr, enjoys a monopoly in this by st and now proceed to use their pow- shall.

At that time we gave away an $85 top buggy, a $45 Domestic sewirg machine, a $25 Charter Oak stove and $25 in gold. Capt. W. D. O’Farrell, of Athens, drew the buggy and here’s what he says: < THE PRIZE BUGGY. Ed. Baniier-Watchman—The buggy I drew at your prize drawing in January is s capital one. The liberal induce ments you offer your subscribers should insure you a large patronage. Without any such inducements, your paper is well worth the subscription. Very truly, W. D. O’Fabrell. Mr. F. M. Matthews drew the stove. He writes: Poin^ Petkb, Ga., Feb. 11.—Editor' Banner-Watchman—The stove, which fell to my lot in your recent drawing^ has just been received. It is a handsome one, and I am much pleased with it, but dot any more so than I am with your most excellent Weekly. Tour paper is by many considered one of the best Weeklies in Georgii All Highly Pleased with Athens—The Final Decision Withheld Until a Meeting- Called for May 7th In Atlanta. The directors of the Experiment Sta tion have finished their week of inspec tion of the bids made by different sec tions. They spent yesterday in Athena and after a thorough inspection of the Station here left for their several homes. They arrived on the Georgia train at noon, and were met at the depot in car riages by Mayor Hunnicutt, Dr. Char- bonnier, Maj. Lamar Cobb, Messrs. Rufe Reaves, W. D. Griffeth, W. A. McDowell, R. B. Russell. H. C. Tuck, A. L. Hull and Prince Hodgson. They were driven [ to the Commercial Hotel, where they were entertained at an ele gant dinner. After dinner they were carried through the scientific depart ment of the University. They were then driven to the Experiment Farm, after riding over which they- returned to the hotel. Lastly they enjoyed a fine drill by the pick squad of the Uni WHICH IS OF DEEP INTEREST TO FARMERS AS WELD AS TO ALL CLASSES OF OUB CITIZENS. Mr. Editor—Now that the farm ing community are casting about, with so much earnestness, to find a substi tute with which tojwrap up their cotton, that they may relieve themselves from the oppression of the jute monopoly; it would seem to be the duty of any and every man, who thinks he has a sugges tion to make of any value iu the premi ses,- now to bring that suggestion for ward, and let it be judged whether it has the value claimed for it or not. Act ing upon this idea, I have ventured to bring to the notice of those concerned, j the article, whose name heads this pa per, as not only a substitute for jute, but indeed abetter material than jute for the purpose intended, and before this paper is closed, I shall give the reasons why I teink it is better. Since these jute people have grown so aggressive and oppressive in their movements, various substitutes have been suggested, two of which I notice at this time, pine staw bagging and bagging made from the cotton itself. Now, of course, no one friendly to the farming interest can possibly object to the making of bagging from either or both of these articles, provided always, they can be used economically for that I purpose. For every yard used, made from the above, is by that much curtail ing the comsumption of the jute, the consummation to be desired ;but will or can either or both of the above be brought into Buch general use as to ef fect the object- desired. I think no*, and why ; ihe pine straw has some quali ties to commend it, hut I have h* ard, during the past season, some diflicul- ness, and now proceed to use their pow er to oppress those over whom the mo nopoly rules. Hemp grows in luxuri ance everywhere over the Middle West ern States. The farmers in that section know how to grow it, at which period of its growth to pull it, how to prepare •it for market. They will thus be benefited by this diversification of their money crope.The machinery of all kinds for spin- ing and weaving the bagging are no doubt there. The houses are' there in which to place the machinery. People are there, who are already skilled in working this machinery. It is yet early spring, abundaNt time for seed time and harvest. So it does seem that, that same energy which as sures success in all pursuits of life, would likewise insure success in this, and thus another great American in dustry be built up, giving adoitional wealth and prosperity to our own peo- j pie. Hoping that all the proposed efforts, whether of hempt, pine straw or cotton, may he successful to the extent of eith er bringing the jute monopoly within prop#’ bounds, or uprooting it wholly. has figured that a 3 old has spent three years bis collar. •• —i out yesterday ngeinents to accommodate daring the tea;hers con- ima Howard, Annie and a y, accompanied by Ma n, of Wilkes county, spent “eriay in the city shopping, fe take pleasure in recommending us9 of Hall’s Vegetable Sicilian Hair ewer as safe and reliable for restor- gny hair to its natural color, or buggies, Surries phaetons and riages, go to Klein & Martin’s, as they e the best assortment and the best lity ever before in the city, ook through J.

They were all favorably impressed with the Station, as it is now operated and while they were non commital as to tbeir final decision, it is more.than probable that the scientific department, if not the entire Station will be left here. The matter will be finally decided at a meeting called for May 7th in Atlanta. The directors have had a trying week of it traveling and on the go the entire time. They are, therefore, glad their work is done, bat express themselves as delighted with the royal manner in which they have been received every where. ia, and I sincerely bope it will continue to grow in favor I until it is read at the hearthstone of every family in our grand old State.

The ladies who have the “annex” in mind propose to furnish the money t> rent or to build it. Colombia college has nothing to do with the money, the discipline or the manners of the “annex.’. It has bargained to furnish the learning only. The annex is to be ktiown as Barnard college. The young ladies for the present will be tethered to the | course in aVls.

The use of hemps as an article from which to manufacture cotton bagging would not be in the nature of an expei- iment. Thousands upon thousands of bales of cotton have been sacked in it, and,so far as I have ever heard,no fault was ever found with it, either by grow er, purchaser or consumer of the cotton. It was the product of our own soil, grown all over the Middle Western States. It was largely a money crop to the farmers of those States, where it was grown. It was prepared and man ufactured by our own people. It was from heginning to end the product and 5TTLE IVER PILLS.

Yet there is no other city of the size of the capital in which so few of the residents own their own homes.

Efforts to build medium cost houses here and sell them out on the installment plan have not met with much success.
