The Baf giag of this Year.
What are the southern mills doing
towards furnishing a supply? The
Alliance may know, but the general
public, iueluding the majority of cot
ton planters, certainly do not know.
We see it stated that the Sibley mills,
of Augusta, will not make any eotton
bogging this year, because the Alli
ances are not willing to pay for the
expense of its manufacture. Does
this signify that the Alliances are “go
ing back to the flesh-pots of Eagyptf’t
We hope not. We cherish the belief
that they have either found mills that
will make the cotton bagging at a
satisfactory price, or they have assnr
ances that they can get cheaper bag
ging made of some other material—
perhaps pine straw, or the bark of
the cotton plant, with both of which,
it is said, satisfactory expeiiiuents
have been made.
It would be lamentable if, after the
gallant fight made under adverse cir
cumstances against the bagging trust
last year, the Alliance and the cotton
planters should so soon give up the
tight and again place themselves at
the mercy of an exacting monopoly.
We cannot believe that they will do
so. But, in a case of this kind, perse
verance, even at a little sacrance of
money or labor, is needed to win the
fight. A good beginning towards inde
pendence was mads last year, consid
ering the condition under which it was
made and much valuable experience
was gained.

The North and the Republicans can
rant over the negro as much as they
please, but such conduct as that in- (
dulged in by the (fraud Army of the
Republic veterans at Marietta, on
Federal Decoration Day, will soeper
or later let the negro see who is their
friend, and teach them that the Re
publican party only has use for their
votes, and no earthly use or love for
them.
It has developed that things did not
run smoothly at Marietta on Decora
tion Day, and the occasion was made
anything but lovely to the colored
people, because the G. A. R’s. refused
to allow them to participate in the
exercises. The Marietta Journal says
of this action:
The negroes were not permitted to
march with them, and for a while
they were denied admittance to the
national cemetery. These white vet
erans of the army are taking decided
opposition to the uegroes participat
ing with them in the decoration exer
cises. They say it is their white com
rades who are buried there, and ne
groes have nothing to do with the mat
ter. One G. A. R. fellow said he wish
ed all the negroes in the South would
join the Democratic party and make it
odious, and then tne white people
could build up a respectable Repub
lican party in the South.”

Ten Thousand Cara of Melons.
Voung-Town (New York) Journal.
A co-operative movement of vast
proportions in Georgia, the Carolina*
and Alabama has resulted in or
ganizing the Georgia and Carolina
Melon exchange, of which J. R. For
rester, of Albany, Ga., is general
agent, and in which Fred B. Jackson
of the Beall place, Walker's Ga., (for
merly of Youugsville, Pa.) i« interest
ed. Nineteen-twentieths of the melon
crop of (hose States will pass through
the exchange, which expects to han
dle from 7,000 to 10,000 cars of melons
this year. Mr. Jackson is now visit
ing the large cities of New York and
Pennsylvania iu the interest of the ex
cnange, establishing agencies, etc,,
end expects to have the first melons
in the Northern market by June 20.
The exchange is not a trust, but an
organizai iou of producers for market
ing their own products, saving the ex
penses of middlemen, yet not raising
the price to consumers. It is very
strong financially ami the melon
growers wiio are members will uu-
doul't“'11y reap substantial benefits.
Tile first car-load of melons for the
season passed Americus Saturday J une
7th. It was shipped from Pellham
via the Central to Fort Valley, thence
over the Atlanta and Florida to
Omaha, Neb., being hauled by the ex
change. The first shipment made last
year was made the 15th of June, mak
ing this season about ten days ear
lier. _
Home-raised tomatoes hare made
their appearance in the market, but
they come high. Twenty-five cents a
quart is all that is asked for them,
but they are a long way ahead ot the
imported tomato in beauty, fresh
ness and size.--Macon News, 1 lth.

Wm.Timmons, Postmaster of liiaville
lnd,, writes: ‘‘Electric Bitters has done
more for me than all other medicines
combined, for that bad feeling arising from
Kidney and Liver trouble.” John Leslie
[^rmer and stockman, of same place says:
Had Electric Bitters to be t he best Kid
ney and Liver medicine, made me feel like
ainew man.” J. NV. Gardner, hardware
merchant, same town, says: “Electric Bit-
ters is just the thing for a man who Is all

or dies; he found new strength, good an-
petlte and felt like he had a new lease on

The Americus Times says Capt.
John A. Cobb of Sumter county has
discovered by experiment that there
is more profit in cattle kept up and
fed than when allowed to run at large.
Last year Capt. Cobb says, he had
about one hundred and fifty head of
cattle on one of his places, all of whicli
were allowed to run out at large. Of
this number twenty five milen cows
were herded both morning and even
ing to be milked. This year, instead
of allowing them to run out, he select
ed three of the number for milkers
and keeps them closely confined in
the cow lot. Their feed is cotton seed
meal and coarse corn meal, in equal j
proportion, and the cost per head is,
five cents a day. As a result of this
experiment the yield of milk and but
ter froui'these three cows is greater
by far than that from the twenty live
cows that were allowed to run out
last year. Besides the milk is much
richer and the yield of butter corre
spondingly larger, while the trouble
is tenfold le
less than what it was last
year.

The Cigarette Law.
The last session of the legislature
found itself one day iu a very moral
mood and very anxious fftr the safety
ot the youth. They had heard that
very many bad little boys had a hab
it of smoking cigarettes when their
pupas were not looking, and worsij
than that, they had heard that their
papas sometimes not only did not ob
ject to the habit of their hopefuls but
even gave the money wherewith to
buy the awful things. So after they
had shed tears over the abandonment
of the boys and turned pale at the
carelessness of their papas they said
among themselves : “The pareuts no
longer know how to take care of their
children and we must take their
places; hereafter let no dealer sell
unto a miuor any cigarettes nor any
material whereof they can be made,
and let no person give the seine unto
a minor; nay, not even his own fath
er.”
Well, as the law now stands it is
practically impossible for a minor to
smoke a cigarette without a violation
of the law by somebody. If be buys
it, the seller has violated law. If he
takes it as a gift the giver has viola
ted law. But for all this, have you
noticed any change in the amount of
cigarette smoking by minors? They
smoke just as muny now as they ever
did. It i6 evident then that there is
a great deal of violation of law, and
there is no inclination to punish this
violation. We think that we are but
little wrong if we say that those vio
lations of law will never be punished.
