the best interests of
' wa
constant anil loud in
have our boubts about the practi
cability of reducing the size of cotton
bales to 125 pounds weight,* as is pro
posed for next year by the Allianee.
To secure aheap transportation across
thf water, it is necessary that these
bales be compressed in as small a cotn-
pas as possible, and to pack these little
pockets would be an endless and very
costly job, for it will necessitate about
four times the labor.
But there is a still more serious ob
jection that we see to these small pock
ets of cotton. They are a mighty handy
s‘re t'» carry off, and we predict that
they will encourage a startling increase
in the number of cotton thieves. A
farmer will have to put under lock and
key every bale as fast as it is packed,
and then stand guard over it with a
shot gun until sold.
Of course the railroads must charge
more for transporting them, as they
will occupy a greater space than com
pressed bales of a greater size.
There is another serious objection
that we gee to these pockets of cotton.
It will necessitate every ginner buying
a new press, as tlie ones now in use will
be until for packing these little hales, as
also render utterly worthless the mil
lions invested in cotton compresses.
The proposition is too revolutionizing
and destructive, and we do not believe
will meet with favor either from the
farmer, the buyer or shipper. It is re
turning to the slow methods of our fore
fathers, when the seed were picked
from cotton by hand, and the bales then
packed by a negro with a crow-bar. In
this age and generation the tendency
is to advance, not go backward. We
should buy Sienvier presses if possible
and pack more eolton in a bale, instead
of reducing the size.
We trust the Alliance will seriously
consider this important matter before
deciding to put up their cotton in pock
ets.

Absolutely Pure.
OUR TAXES.
They arc more burdensome far than
they were during the Bullock regime—
and they arc piling up higher and high
er every time the legislature meets in
summer session.
Just think of it, before the war, in
the fifties, a man could own a hundred
thousand dollars worth of property
without paying over seventy-five dol
lars tax on it. sow he would have to
pay over eight hundred dollars tax on
it! Why this difference? Is the gov
ernment now better than then? Are
the present statesmen and public offi
cers worth eleven times as much as - ich
men as Stephens, Cobb, Toombs, Hill
ann Brown and his State officer*? O,
Temporal O, Mores!—Madisonian.
There is food for grave thought in th*
above short article. This thing of tax
ation is getting to be a frightful bur
then on the people, and every succeed
ing legislature leaves the load sligutlv
iucrcased. There is certainly room for
reform in this direction, and it i« high
time that the voter* of our State were
taking the matter in hand and select
ing representatives pledged to retrench
ment and reform. In truth, there “5re
t«o many anneessary departments and
high salaried officers in Georgia—and
soiao of these positions were created to
fit the men who fill them. Let the
affairs of our State be thoroughly over
hauled, and then lop off every head that
i* urn absolutely required to administer
the affairs of government.

The combination of Hie jute bagging
manufacturers against tlie farmers is
now in its dying throes, it matters not
what lie their boast. According to the
confession of one of its members, fully
one-fourth the crop this rear will be
wrapped in second-hand jute or cotton
bagging—and when you take this slice
from tlie sales of any business it is bound
to toll. As evidence conclusive that
the jute men are weakening and fee!
the effects of the Allianee boycott, we
have but to cite to the fact that new
bagging can b? bought in Athens at
tjn cents per yard, when last year four
teen cents was paid. But for this fight
by the farmers, these monopolists and
entorticnevs would now he demanding,
in all probability, 25 or 50 cents per
yard. In truth, we believe that the
jute bagging sales will have been cut
off one-half, and that ship loads of
the butts they bought in India will rot
on their hands.
Neverjdid men band together in a
more righteous cause than that of the
Farmer’s Allianes when they declared
war under the black flag against the
jute trust. Every honorable and just
man naistjaiul will endorse and sympa-
thizejwith them. Here wo see a few in
dividuals associated together and enter
ing into a conspiracy to extort from one
class and section a ussurious price for
an article that they consider indispen
sable to the cotton-grower. To resist
this robbery the victims met combine
tion with combination, and declared a
boycott against jute bagging. The Al
liance proved their loyalty and deter
mination by continuing the w ar even
when they knew it meant a sacrifice of
over a dollar per bale. The victory is
nearly won, and next year will see this
dictorial jute trust humble supplicants
at the feet of the men tl ey sought to
rob. They showed tliecotton grower no
mercy when they thought he was in
their power—now let the Alliance fight
to an extermination.
-A citizen of Eatonton smorkes about
twelve pounds of tobacco yearly in pipe
that^he declares is over 200 years old.
This leads a mathematical person to cal
culate that if were the average amoun
use d fu the pipe since its first day, 2,200
pounds of the weed have been burned in
its bowl, and if the first $12 had been
put out at compound interest at the late
of 10 per cent.it would now have grown
to*the sum of $175,443,200. Just how
thisj wouldJiave benefited the fiffi_own-

The President of Mexico has ordered

A thrilling story full of tragedy comes
from our neighboring town, Winter-
ville. It involves the killing of Aus.
Weir, colored, by Mr. Pi Kidd, and the
details of the affair as wo learned them
from Mr. W. I. Tuck, a prominent citi
zen of Winterville go to show that Mr.
Kidd was acting totally in self defense
when lie shot the negro.
he story goes thus: Yesterday,
while Mr. Pi Kidd was having some
cotton ginned at Mr. Ben William’s
public gin for his father, Mr. J. N.
Kidd, some of his hands got into a fuss
with several of Air. William’* hands
and a light was about to ensue. Mr.
Kidd interfered and commanded his
hands to stop fussing ami go to work,
and seeing they were stubborn to obey
him, he approached them giving more
emphatic orders for the fuss to cease,
when Aus. Weir became enraged with
him and picking up a scantling that lay
nearby, approached Mr. Kidd raising it
to strike. Mr. Kidd only had time to
draw his revolver and lire to prevent
the enraged negro Irom killing him
with the scantling.
The ball passed throught his breast
and while at last accounts the negro
was still alive, it is thought the wound
will prove fatal.
Mr. Kidu is an estimable citizen of
Oglethorpe county, and no blame is at
taehed to him for the shooting of tlie
negro, by whites or blacks who saw the
affair, as they all agree that tlie shot
was made in seif defense.

A Subterranean River.
London, October 24.-The subter
ranean river river recently discovered
in France, in Miers district,department
of Lot, has now been tracked a distance
of seven miles, tp a point beyond which
three daring explorers, who undertook
tlie task, did not dare to venture, as the
river there takes an abrupt plunge into
the towels of tlie earth to a depth im
possible to fathom.
First Govei nor Beaver made hi# ap
pearance, his crutch beating a tattoo on
the broad stone steps as he hurried
away. The reporters tried to “corral”
him, but with the adeptness of one who
has crown expert by long experience in
similar situations, he slipped by them,
calling out aa he rounded the corner of
Walnut street, into Broad:
“Don’t stop me; can’t wait. Must
make next train.”
This didn’t explain what the meeting
was doing with tlie $1,000,000 and more
that is lying idle in the hands ot tlie
commission, so when Francis B. Reeves
appeared he waa made the target for a
round of questions.
“Trier haven’t adjourned vet.” he
shouted as he broke away. And be sped
around the corner. Neither was this an
exactly lucid explanation of th® finan
cial matters that tlie public wanted to
know, so the reporters waited for other
victims.

“These comprised the classes who were
without property, euch as widows and
old people. These have all been paid in

A committee of citizens from Williams-
E ort appeared at the meeting, and laid
efore* tiie comm iBsiou a petition from
that city asking that $150,000 be granted
them for the relief of sufferers there.
One of the tao^t important ac cions of
the meeting was the establishment of
an orphans’ trust fund, the aggregate
amount of which has not yet been
definitely fixed upon, but which is ex
pected to pay all tlie children who were
deprived of th ir parents by the flood
the sum of $00 a year.
It was decided that all sums up to
