Jui.e in Georgia,
Macon July I.s.—Kodyors, VVor
jdmm <fc Cos. of Macon, are leading
the tight on the bagging trust, and
in order to make their etlorts .suc
cessful, tho firm intends beginning
at the ground, so to speak. They
propose to plant and raise jute.
Withdhis end in view, Mr. Mitch
ell Hedgers ot the above firm, will
leave in a few days for Washington
city, bearing a letter of inrroduc
tion from Congressman Blount to
Hon. Jeremiah Husk, saei\ t try o.
agriculture.
The object of Mr, Rodgers’ visit
is to obtain a liberal supply of jute
seed, a large portion of wnich Mr.
Rodgers will distribute among the
farmers of.the counties contiguous
to Bibb to plant. Mr. Rodgers’ firm
will also experiment at planting
the jute, and they have appropri
ated ;fi,ooo for that purpose. They
see no reason why the jute can not
be successfully grown here. It is
raised in Florida, Mississippi.and
Kentucky to a small extent Mr.
Rodgers has mentioned the matter
to several reliable farmers in this
section and they are enthusiastic.
Mr. B. T. Bay of Bibb, a success
ful farmer, said to day: “Give me
the jute seed and I will show you
jute next year.
“Mr. Rodgers states that the
cheapest kind of machinery is used
in making jute bagging, and he
hopes in a few years to see jute
bagging factories throughout the
South. Mr. Rodgers says: *'Ascer
tain as the sun shines we will suc
ceed in successfully growing jute,
and if our planting friends will dis
play energy at once in the matter,
success will surely crown our ef
forts, We will then settle forever
the bagging trust.”
Rcdgers, Worsham & Co.are al
so willing to subscribe several thou
sand dollars to help the alliance
men in this section to establish a
large cotton seed oil mill in opposi
tion to the present trust, as far as
(his city is concerned. ‘ln this lat
ter case,’ says Mr. Rodgers, ‘the
farmers have the key, and our
greatest efforts shall bo to help the
planter to hold that key and keep
said trust locked out.’ ”

Ladies seldom rise in Spain to re

No Turk will enter a sitting room
with dirty shoes. The upper classes
wear ti'ht fitting shoes, with goloshes
O'-er them. The latter, which receive
all ths dirt and dust, are loft outside

dirty water. Water is poured over his
hand, so that when polluted it runs
away.
In Syria the people neyer take off
