efforts
against .the bagging trust have
broken ‘down this lntjuitous organ
ization and brought dreadful for-
bodings^fo'fpthers, pone the less
I oppressive in their operations.
.'.. .Frapf be remembered, that the
bagging-trust is fey no means past
’rdifOTeryr apd that'negiigence or
inaction on the part of farmers may
£urniph ^another opportunity to do
petrous damage the next season..
t it may be the policy-of the trust
to run np its white t flag and an-
'nounce surrender, as the season
has- passed and no further gains
are^ffeowrpbssible. In this way,
' tney may hope to divert the atten
tion of farmer’s from possible dan
gers, that they may have the op
portunity for mbie thorough or
ganization and better%nccess in
the future. To* defeat this possible
project, organized efforts should
, be:continued to. .find cheap and
suitable substitutes for jute bag
ging,' so that there can be no pos
sible loss when the next season
opens. In this warfare, aud all,
others that ave to follow, differ
ences aB to organizations must not
hinder, but all efforts should be
« ‘co-operative and united.
Only one trust has been attack
ed; there are others,, more hdrtfui.
The “Cotton seed oil trust” follow
ing the example of the “Standard
oil trust,” has made millions of
unrighteous money from one of
the best products of Southern
farms. There is a miue of wealth
in the cotton seed of the South.
Year after year they Are carted
from our fields, at less than half
their value; to enrich others, who
hare united their means and their
efforts to prevent. the just valua
tion of our* products. It is for
farmers to say whether or not this
trust shall stand. Farmers can
ppt.build oil mills, as yet, to make
. (host of this product, but they
f .cap withhold their..seed, under
. mnited'action, until they are offer
ed full value in the markets.
Underlying this suggestion,
there is a business principle that
ihight be profitably applied in oth
er instances. Farmers should
. make themselves able to control
rich an’ poor were there.

digested the thought, that the
present opportunity is the only op
portunity that can possibly be im
proved by them. These persons
are constantly- boufing into the
grave of'the past neglected priv
ileges and "opportunities7 and, by
procrastination,' continually over
loading the future with duties.

If -we look out upon the busy
world and observe those who are
meeting with success we will find
that they are those who are grap-
ling with, aud utilizing to the best
advantage, the - present. These c-o
not stand still, lo'oking back into
yesterday and coldly calculating
what they might have done, or
what might liave bee'n; nor do they
waste the passing moment with
figuring on the perhaps or proba
bilities of tomorrow. On'the con
trary they Are ever dealing .tjjrith
the now, realizing that none other
than the present moment belongs
to them.
The boy, the young man, or the
man of maturer years who is, by
retrospection living in the yester
days that have been piled up be
hind him, or who, in imagination,
is living in a prosperous and hap
py future, Without grasping and
improving the passing hour, is far,
very far, from the road that leads
to success.
The gr£at. mistake with mauy is
tliat of burdening tomorrow with
the neglects of today. Each day
comes to us freighted with its own
burdens; its own toils, its own
cares, and its own labors, and if
those of yesterday be crowded in
upon it, there is inevitable friction
and unsatisfactory, if not unprofit
able, results. Not only so, but in
this way .we impose, for the pass
ing hour, an extra tax upon both
the mental and physical man,..aihl
thus take upon ourselves an un
necessary burden.
This mode of proceednre is
wrong and works no good, and
grows out of the simple fact that
people do not rightly consider that
the present is the only, time with
which they have to deal—that the
present is the only time they can
claim—tiie only time they can util
ise. That individual who is ever
pi’omisiug himself that he will do
something tomorrow—that he will
do something ” Dext week—next
month or next year, and whdhloes
nothing,now; will never make prog
ress. Then, reader, awake from
your lethargy and take in, and di
gest; the solid truth, that if yon
get to yourself the comforts of this
life—if you would get to yourself
wisdom, learning, honor, fame, or
attain to any honorable achiev-
rnent, you must work in the now,
the only.time in which you "have

’Twas just a plain, old-fashioned talk,; democracy, in the hope of getting

The yolk made iuto a plaster
with honey and flour, of about the
consistency of mustard paste;
gives speedy relief to one afflicted
with boils. The white, used as a
coating for scalds aud burns, ex
cludes the air; which so aggra
vates tlie sufferings of . a burned
person. It is softer than collo
dion, therefore better, aud .is al
ways at hand; it is more cooling
than the once popular sweet oil
and cotton. The white, beaten
with sugar, is invaluable in bron
chial affections, especially in
hoarseness, when ,a little lemon
juice may be added with good re
sults. Vinegar may be substi
tuted for lemon juice when the lat
ter is not available. Leather chair
seats may be revived by rubbing
them with well-beaten whites of
eggs. Leather bindings of books
may also be cleaned by this meth
od; but white Roman bindings
should be washed with a soft flan
nel saturated in soapsuds.

A brother of Andrew Carnegie,
them to draw out of the free trade now deceased, bought a large per-
democratic party and form a~pafty tion of Cumberland Island, and
of southern protectionists;” He built a §200,000 palace there, and
also says that the republicans of surrounded it with a beautiful
park.
the south will then vote for the
nominees of these protectfoif'dem-
ocrats for all offices in the south.
This may be putting it some
what daintily (Mr. Locke is a
dainty man), but the logical read
er will see that it “gets there all
the same.” it is an indirect offer
of a bribe in the shape of offices,
and of a political triumph over the
so-called free trade democracy by
the help of the southern republi
cans and the patronage of the ad
ministration. What do our friends
and pseudo-allies, the protection
democrats, have*to say to it? We
hope they won’t “all speak at once.”
It will be observed that there are
limitations. The “republicans of
intelligence and character” are first
to be provided for,* aud only . the
“remainder” of the offices are to
be given to protection democrats
“who are disposed,’.’ etc.. The
question is, .the most numerous,*
the southern republicans of “in
telligence and character,” or ' the
offices to be disposed of? There
must be a standard of intelligence
and character determined before
ive can have the first factor of the
calculation. Until that is estab
lished, protection democrats, so-
called, cannot safely estimate the
value of the inducements held out
to them.
The programme outlined by
Locke does not seem io “say tur
key” to the negro at all. What
would the republican party gain
in strength by winning the pro
tection democrats of the south’ and
alienating the negroes? And if
only southern republicans of “in
telligence and character’ are to be
recognized by the administration,
aud protection democrats prefer
red to the remainder, where can
the poor proscribed negro have to
go but to the “free trade democra
cy?” Perhaps this will be a good
way of solving; the “negro prob
lem.” It would, at all events, be
,the.best policy for the negroes,
both as regards good feeling be
tween them aud the whites and as
regards their interests as tax pay
ers Protection cannot possibly
be cH any benefit to them, as it
only incroases the cost of every
thing they have to buy, and gives
them no increase of pay for their
work. We believe that an issue
confined to protection or tariff re
form, with old party lines elimir
nated (as proposed by the pro
gramme of Mr. Locke/) the ne
groes generally would vote with
the democrats. We are sure that
they ought.

The New York Yacht Ciub has
built a magnificent winter borne
near Brunswick, ,and the pleasant
waters of our southern seas will
henceforth be. dotted every winter
with the floating palaces in which
millionaires from Gotham are
wont to deport themselves. Mr.
Pierre Lorillard has been hunting
in South Carolina this winter, and
has fallen completely in love with
the delightful climate and abund
ant game of. that region. He has
had built a boat of original de
sign, which is to carry hunting
horses and dogs for himself and
his friends. The boat has a flat
bottom and a light build that will
enable the millionaire sportsman
to reach happy hunting' grounds
to which* the less fortunate cannot
gain access. It is said that Mr.
Lorillard contemplates the pur
chase of several thousand acres on
the Carolina coast and the estab
lishment of a game reserve that
will surpass anything of the kind
on this continent.
The south has already become
the great winter resort of the
country, and its charms are appre

In South Carolina, Soath Georgia

are making the most of it.

A farmer in Wilson county,
Texas, reports some rather re
markable results of experiments
in cotton planting. His purpose
was to ascertain the result of plant-
in gin rows' of different widths.
Most of the cotton was planted in
rows the usual width, but five
acres were planted with the rows
eight feet apart, ..and he reports
that the’eotton in this field did not
cease growing the entire year t and
made twice as much to the acre as
that planted the usual width.
A Kentuckian who has 200 hick
ory nut trees and about 300 wal
nut and butternut trees, says that
his income from them, year by
year, is larger than that of any
farmer cultivating 300 acres of
land. He sells his crop on the
trees for cash -in hand, and the
only expense out is for taxes.
There are 160 cotton seed oil

fed to cattle or used fpr manure. '
Estimates of the number of dogs
