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. For the Courant-American. 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.
