Cotton Bagging Trust.
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.”

Judge George N. Lester, after
having tried life in the ninth
congressional district, has returned
to his first love-the seventh, and
now practices law in Marietta.
It may be tliat the judge is destined
to meet Dr. Felton once more in
the congressional race of next year.
Mr. Mark Cooper Pope is now
sole proprietor of the Athens
Banner, Mr. L. J. Brumby having
retired. Mr. Cooper has now a
splendid opportunity to distin-
guish himself by getting out such
a paper as will do credit to Athens.
Cohen, the wounded man, who
was injured in the Covington af¬
fair, is still improving. He walks
around the house and was out
riding a few days ago.
Judge It. C. Beavers was seven¬
ty-five years old on the 29tli of
December last. By the time his
present term of office expires he
will have been ordinary of Camp¬
bell county for more than forty
years.
Wilkinson county has one of
the youngest treasurers in the
state, G. IL Butler is only 23
years old.
Mr. Lawrence Hall, an Elbert
county boy who went to Texas a
few years after the war, is repor¬
ted: to have accumulated $400,000
in the cattle-raising business.
The great popularity of Ayer’s
Pills as a cathartic is due no less
to their promptness and efficacy
than to their coating of sugar and
freedom from any injurious effects.
Children take them readily. See
Ayer’s Almanac for this {year, just

Weak eyes and inflamed lids
indicate an impure condition of

Ayer's Sarsaparilla. It vitalizes

and expels all scrofulous humors
from the system. Try it. Price
$1. Worth $5 a bottle.
James W. Goldsmith committed

he died. He married there and
has for years been one of its

useful citizens. Financial and
domestic troubles are assigned as
the causes of the deed. Mr. Gold¬
smith was a heavy dealer in cot¬

his losses within the past six or
