.Two years hence Hon. James H.
Blount will be a prominent facter

Extravagant claims will not
serve the democratic party in the

he is quite popular with the edi

stand he has bought the Telegraph

sure he will keep it tip to the high

tain it as a powerful lever to ele

The combination of bagging
manufacturers that has resulted Id
the outrageous advance in the
price of standard bagging for cot
ton, has brought about a discus
sion that may result in a substi
tute for the covering! of cotton
bale3 now universally used. Sov-
eral suggestions have already
been made, all looking to the use
of a cotton fabric as a substitute
for bagging. It may be tod late
to utilize these suggestions- this
season, and it is probable thatjjjthe
power that controls the price of
cotton will take sides with the bag
ging factories, and decide that
cotton is merchantable only when
covered by such bagging as is now-
used. However, the outrage now
practiced upon the cotton growers
may result in good, and the farm
ers may combine in their own de
fense and assert the power that
justly belongs to them. There is
much that could be said in favor
of cotton covering for cotton bale?.

Mb. Editor: The killing of the
negro, Frank Daniels, recently,
near Mr. G. M. Feagin’s, has sug
gested to my mind the propriety
of calling the attention of our law
makers to the injustice that is
done one of our humblest and
most poorly paid officers, the con
stable. Now, the other night,
when it was dark and raining,
Constable R. G. Watson went some
seven miles from his home for the
purpose of trying to make the ar
rest of the murderer, Sam Wood
ard, he well knowing the fact that
if he succeeded in making the ar
rest that he would not get jane
cent for it. Georgia, the Empire
State of the South, requires its
constables to take an oath that
thdy will use diligence in trying
to make - arrests, and then after
saying what their fee shall be,
A way to fight the bagging trust
is suggested by Maj. J. F. Hanson
through the Macon Telegraph..
This suggestion is in reply to a
letter from Mr. S. T. Hurst, of
near Perry.. Had wo noticed Mr,
Hanson’s letter earlier, it would
have appeared in the Home
Joubnal this week. He suggest
ed a substitute for bagging, to be
used on all cotton to be sold to
home factories. W„e will publish
the latter next week.

Senator Colquitt’s tariff

($1.25,) comes oat and refuses to
pay the officer after the work is
done, bat says that he must make
a levy on the property of the pris
oner for costs, when nine out of
every ten prisoners have nothing
to levy on.
Now, such laws are injurious to
our country, j As a general rule,
when a man has to do hard and
dangerous work, knowing that he
will get no compensation for it,
his work is rather slack. He can
not take such interest in it as he
would if he knew that he would
get pay for it.
Now, Mr. Editor, what I think
would be just and right would be
for the monies arising from the
lease of convicts,- to be sent back
to the county that the convicts
came from, and let that money be
applied to pay the insolvent costs.
As it is now, the'conn ties that are
in the black belt, have to be taxed
to convict a criminal, and then tbe
counties that are in the white belt
of the slate get as much of the
lease money as we do,* when we
have all the expense to bear.
The officer that performs the la
bor in making the arrest and
bringing the criminal to justice,
should have his fees out of the
hire of the convicts first, and then
let the remainder go to the county
to pay other court costs, etc.-

A Literary Exhibit.
As in these days of newspapers
and magazines the intelligence of
a people is judged by the extent
and character of their reading, the
Commissioner of the Georgia Bu
reau of Immigration has decided
to make a special exhibit in liis
car of the newpapers and other pe
riodicals published in Georgia,
believing that they will compare
favorably with those of any other
state in the Union. He therefore
requests the publishers of the state
to' send him a sample’ copy of their
publications by tho 20th day of
August, and hopes for a prom pl
ane! full response, ns he would not
willingly omit a single publica
tion. Publishers of daily and
weekly papers will please send a
sample copy of each. Address all
papers to W. L. Glessnei’, Com
missioner of Immigration, Ameri
