OTHER BAGGING WILL DO,
If It it* of Light Weight, Closely Woven,
aikl of Reasonable Strength.
The National Board of ]
Marine Underwriters, >
25 William Street, New York, Sep. 7. j
New York Cotton Exchange :
Gentlemen—ln view of the present agi
tation of the bagging question through
out the South, the cotton underwriters
of this board, at their meeting to-day,
passed the following resolution :
hereas, It having become known to
the cotton underwriters of the national
board of marine underwriters, that for a
portion of this season’s crop certain
changes iu the style of covering for the
bales might be adopted, and that an ex
pression of their intentions in view of the
possible change was desired; be it
Resolved, That cotton underwriters of
this board will make no discrimination
against cotton covered with any light
weight, close-woven material of reasona
ble strength, provided the difference in
weight between the material used and
good quality of bagging be compensated
by extra bands (say eight or nine to the
bale instead of five or six), and that the
sample holes be effectually covered.
As our previous communication to
you indicates, it is the belief of the com
mit toe investigating this subject that to
a large extent the appalling losses by
fire during the past seasons have been
due to the bagging used n covering the
bales, and that flimsy, loose-woven cloth
with the fibre standing out from the sur
face is as inflamuble as the cotton itself,
a change, therefore, to any woven mate
rial cannot, iu their opinion, involve ad
ditional risk. It is also apparent that
changes in the style of covering and
binding could be introduced at a very
slight cost, that would render fire in
American cotton as rare as with India
and Egyptian.
This subject would seem of sufficient
importance to receive the attention of
any convention that might be held of
those interested in the cotton industry.
If a change and improvement in the
method of covering and pressing is not
made, it is quite possible that the under
writers will, by combined action, with
draw from the business. Respectfully,
b,y order of the chairman,
W. 1. Comes, Vice-Pros.
The committee believe that the use of
a close woven burlap 19 ounces or one
pound to the yard, or what is styled hop
sacking, 24 ounces or 1% pounds to the
yard, or their equivalent, with two or
three additional bands, and with care
used to thoroughly cover the bale, would
bring immunity from a large portion of
the loss by fire and relieve the industry
from a very serious tax which is involved
in the fire and marine insurance rates as
now charged.
More Kicks.
Arizona Kicker.
“Ouk Politics.— Wo established The
Kicker as ail independent paper—inde
pendent in politics, religion, the labor
question and all else. We haven’t been
running it on exactly a biblical founda
tion, but we have kept pretty close to
the chalk-mark as originally laid down.
Col. Scruggs came in the other day and
offered us ft 2 to print an article in which
Cleve’aud was called a hypocrite and
deceiver. He was followed by Judge
Shaekem, offering the same amount to
piint an article in which Harrison was
characterized as -‘a thief and fraud.”
“Gentlemen, we have got. our program
laid out. We ain't party and we ain’t
none too good, but we know a brick-bat
when we see it. YV e stand on the middle
ground. It ain't our fight. Burn your
politics! We’ve set out to get rich by
printing patent medicine ads at thirty
cents a yard each insertion, and by mak
ing a family paper so chuck lull of horse
stealings, lynching, Indian raids, season
able poetry, household hints and farm
experiments that everybody is bound to
subscribe or bust his bilei*. Every news
paper has its way. This is our way, and
we shall stick to it until wesee something
better.”
“Some Statistics. —That fraud upon
earth, old Jim Huston, who earns his
whisky by acting as correspondent fora
San Francisco dish-rag, sent off a letter
last week in which he stated that we had
been kicked and cuffed all over Arizona.
Old Jim is a liar of the first water, as we
shall prove! We began our publication
May 7th and our little affairs are recor
ded as follows:
“May 7th —Licked on Apache Avenue
by Col. Shackern.
“May 19th—Pursued by Major Wigh
fall down Jerusaslem Alley, but got
a way.
“May 27th—Choked by Tom Dustin
at the post-office. Not much of a choke.
“June 3—Kicked by Major Rising as
we left the Frontier House, but nothing
like the kicks of a mule.
“June 18th—Had our eyes blacked by
Judge Dunn, but it was our own fault in
letting him up after we had his head in
the gravel.
“June 28th —Kicked by Register of
Deeds as we came out of Synder's
grocery.
“July 5th —Knocked down in Sioux
Park by Pete Jackson, but not struck in
a vital spot. We have always regretted
that we got up and ran away.
“July 23—One black eye, the result of
meeting ex-city clerk Rill Reynolds in
front of the Palace Hotel. We didn't
stop to ask why he hit us.
“August 1 st—Considerably broken up
by a meeting with Colonel Davis in front
of our office. We had him down once,
but were foolish enough not to hold his
nose to the sand.
“The above completes the list, and yet
old .Tim Huston, the sore-footed hyena
of the barrens, says we have been kicked
all over Arizona!”
Northern Capital Gotng South.
Frank Leslie’s Weekly. . .
The statement that one hundred and
sixty millions of Northern capital Ims
found investment in the South within the
past year raises the question as to what
particular industries have absorbed so
large a sum in that one section of the
country. Undoubtedly a large amount
has been employed in the construction
and improvement of railways and the
development of milling, milling anc
manufacturing interests, but it has been
shown that considerable capital has also
been used iu a comparatively new direc
tion. The cutting down of forests in the
South bv saw mill owners has opened up
large tracts of land which are gradually
being turned into farms. Much of tins
land, when fertilized, is capable of yield
ing as good crops of cotton, corn, fruits
and vegetables as Western or gulf State
lands. Syndicates have been formed
among mill men, who hold extensive
tracts from which the trees have been
cut, and a portion of their holdings has
been placed on the market. The oppor
tunity thus offered to secure homes in
the South, where the climate permits
outdoor work the year round, and where
the rigors of a severe winter are escaped,
has been seized by many small capital
ists in the North and West.
It is becoming plain that the South
must look to the farmers and mechanics
of the North and West for the increase
of its white industrial population. Im
migrants from Europe cannot compete
with the negro in unskilled labor, and
therefore, will not go South for the pres
ent, failing to realize the advantages
which that region offer agriculturally.
Thus, to the Northern or Western man
who has the means for investment, this
new branch of small fanning in the
South offers inducements unequaled per
haps by those of any other country.
the great Western States and
territories, great as their advantages
undoubtedly are, offer no finer chances
to men of small capital and enterprising
purpose than the “New South” presents.
It is an encouraging fact that a consid
erable part of the capital which is now
pouring into the South has fouud em
ployment in the way we have indicated,
contributing thus to the diversification
of Southern industries, and to the wel
fare of the people at large.

1 rials of a Girl of Fourteen.
Thank goodness! I’m nearly fifteen. I
believe if I were to be fourteen any lon
ger it would run me crazy. I'm very
healthy, and like fun with the boys; in
fact, I like boys better than girls. lam
called “Tom-boy” at home, and think
the name suits ine. One of m.y great
trials is this: If Igo to climbing on the
chicken coop,mamma says: “You ought
to be ashamed; a great big fifteen-year
old girl, thinking about beaux, to be
climbing about like a boy.”
Then, again, if I walk home from town
with a boy, mama says: “You littlethir
teen-vea r-old child, not quit playing with
dolls, to go flying around with a boy.
I hate fourteen, because it is about this
age a girl begins to squeeze her feet into
shoes two sizes too small, and wear her
gloves and bonnet indoors and out, and
if a freckle gets on her face she wonders
how in the world it did get there. An
other trial is this: If you are in compa
ny and anything funny happens, your
mother pinches you and says: “Ron t
open your mouth so wide when you
laugh,” instead of enjoying a good hear
ty one. If there is anything I hate, it is
tight shoes, bonnets and gloves, and
squeezing your mouth up to laugh.
