Senator George, of Mississippi, spoke his mind freely on Tuesday about the cotton bagging trust. The question before the Senate was an amendment to reduce the duty on cotton bagging to § per cent, per pound. At present it is 14 per cent The Senate tariff bill reduces it to £ per cent. Senator George declared that the cotton bagging trust was a conspiracy, and that those who were engaged in it ought to be in penitentiary, and would be ‘under any system of wise and economi¬ cal laws.” The senator wanted to know if the senators who favored a high duty on jute bagging de¬ sired to be regarded as the aiders and abettors of the conspirators, and he intimated that they would be if they insisted upon a duty that would enable the bagging trust to continue to rob the cotton SenatorGeorge planters. during A pointmadeby -the debate this question on that attracted considerable atten¬ tion and brought who a reply has charge from Senator Allison, of the tariff bill, was that there were not more than 5,000 persons employed in the manufacture of jute bagging in this country, and that the duty on jute bagging therefore, could not benefit more than that number, though he be¬ lieved that the manufacturers alone, and not their employes, were benefited. The all duty who on jute however, gaged the injures production of cotton, are en¬ in and the number could not bo less than 1,250,000. In order that 5, 000 muy be benefited, admitting the benefited, jute bagging employes are children 1,250,000 make men, sacrifices. women and must This point seemed to make some impression their on the spokesman republican main¬ sen¬ ators, but tained that their whole bill would have to bo abandoned if they dis¬ criminated against the jute bag¬ ging manufacturers. In order to uphold the doctrine of protection they were compelled to benefited legislate so that the few might be at the expense of many. -- There is a German newspaper published in Jerusalem, and i! says that (ho city is growing in size and population at a remark¬ able rate, which is surprising, because neither its situation nor its trade is favorable to a rapid increase. The Jews take the lead in building, followed by the Rus¬ sians and Germans. The Greeks ami Armenians are also busy building cafes, bazars and si;ops. The Covington Enterprise says that “there are quite a number of public-spirited citizens in Coving¬ ton who feel deeply interested in tha educational question, and wili present a petition praying for the privilege of voting on tlie ques¬ tion of establishing local public schools. There will bo active opposition to this movement, but the friends of education are deter¬ mined to do all in their power to do all in their power to inaugu¬ rate and operate a system of pub¬ lic sliools in Covington.” __ m t >| ___ The storv of thr> life of A«,,t ^ • barah Biggs, who , died at the age of 87 in Talbot countv the other - , ^ B .11 interesting . blic Olio, was born in Jefferson countv in , o v1 ami 1 married - .

FOE a long time the question of putting business on a basis a as to make it profitable to both buyer and seller has been a knot problem. Every year a few merchants start upon the right pis but lack the backbone to carry it out. "We have given the math a thorough and thoughtful consideration and have reached the coi elusion that a Spot Cash. System Is the only basis upon which business can be run to the mutual benefit of farmer and merchant, hence it is we have determined tha onr motto shall be “CASH OB NO GO.” Small Profits or Don’t Buy. It is true we could run on the usual credit plan, and perhaps make for ourselves more money, but our object is to benefit others as well as ourselves. It is our heart’s desire to help the Farmer and Laborers To a better condition in tbe financial world. The credit system M been a chief factor in bringing the former farming to his present world, conduonj that men It is a rule in the mercantile as well as the become deluded by the prospect of big crops; merchants feel sate 1 selling and farmers in buying. All 00 eem to forget that the lao° of months on a farmer may be destroy Cp d in a day. Disaster an blessings are meted to us by the same Allwise hand. It is sen true that a big all around crop is grown and harvested without so mishap. These things we cannot foresee, consequently it niUS 0 true that the CASH SYSTEM ls the best and only plan which to run any business, Fai¬ without have upon buy. Raise yourovn mers do what you no money to to us bread stuffs, and everything else possible at home, then come with the cash and we will guarantee rantee to to sell sell vou everything need uccu at on the me lowest luncoi prices. pitca.

Hoping that our pah .g cs to be such as to sustain us in our undertaking, and thus are demonstrate that our plan of business for all concerned, truly yours, Pierce, Cain. H’Knight 3
