Some of the country papers are
abandoning the eight page business

ter all, wo ore inclined to think that
it is a real common sense idea.
The Harmony Grove Signal has

We hoped to see the Technolo deal

The shock at mmervdle, S.

similar to keroseue oil, and is accom
panied by a tine wind of different
colors.
The following life-like picture is
clipped from an exchange:
“What in thunder is that child
crying for?" asked Fogg.
“I don’t know. I’ve given him
everything I can think of and still he
doesn't atop,” repin’d his wife.
“That proves, of course, that he
wants something else.”
“But I can’t find anything else to
give him."
“Well, lend him something, then,
can't you ?“
Mayor Hillyer, of Atlanta, vetoed
the city ordinance passed with a view
—amazing to aay I to set aside the

the issue of the quart licenses to lie
unlawful, the last liquor house in the
city Las cloned its doors, and the
great Barleycorn drouth has set in.—
May it live forever!- Sparta Ishmae
lite.
We shake bands with you, Bro.
lahmaelite. especially in the senti
ment expressed in the last sentence of
the above.
F Our esteemed neighbor, the Mc-
Duffie Journal, furnishes the follow?
ing interesting item:
Some time ago we gave an account
of an acre of corn being cultivated by
Rev. ,1. T. Combs, near Wrightsboro,
in this county. The patch contained
one acre, and the crop has been gath
ered by Mr. ("omlia and measured.
Several times during the season the
patch has been raided by stock and
eattle, and some of it destroyed; but
notwithstir.nling this loss, which Mr.
Combs estimates nt 10 bushels, the
crop meaaures 47! bushels on the one
acre. If none of the crop hail t een
lost or destroyed the yield would
have been nt least 85 or 90 bushels
Who Loses It I
We copy the following editorinl
from the Hpnita ishmaelite, wins is of
considerable interest, byway of in
formation to our farmers. We have
often asked the question of farmers as
to who loses the bagging and ties on
a bale of cotton and the answer has
almost invariably been that the buy
ier shouldered the lona. Many with
whom we have talked seem to like to
buy the above named articles, con
gratulating themselves that there was
mole profit in them than in the fleecy
staple. According to the reasoning
of tin Islimaclite such is not the case,
and we confess an openness to believe
there is logic, in the reasoning
brought forth. If there is argument
on the other side, however, and the
facts are not clearly presented by our
esteemed contemporary we will be
glad to hear it from some of our
farmers:
Appearances are often deceptive
“Seeing is believing,” but it isn’t
knowing; for people sometimes are
deceived in their most careful percep
tions. Mathematicians know that the
apparent sign of a fraction is mt al
ways its real sign. An apparent gain
! is sometimes a real loss.
These truisms naturally opne the
way to the question: Do the Cotton
i growers really, or only seemingly, get
paid for bagging and ties when they
put their cotton on the market?
At first sight most people will say
that the outlay for bagging and tiesis
fully reimbursed when the cotton is
sold; but it seems to the Islimaclite to
be a case in which seeing doesn't
imply knowing, and in which a real
loss is involved in an apparent sign of
i gttin ’
1 Let us see. '1 he price of cotton m
Sparta is directly controlled by the
price in Augusta; the Augusta price
I is bused upon New York quotations;
hind New York quotations are always
\ regulated by the market in Livers 001.
But in Liverpool cotton-buy ers do m t
'pay for bagging and ties. They are
| counted as “tare,” and their weight is
deducted from the weight of the b ile,
so that the buyer pays only for the net
cotton. This being the ease, it isevi
dent that the cost of the bugging ami
ties is lost s< h.ewheru between Liver
]M>ol mid the place of first purchase.
Docs the Sparta buyer lose it ? Not
so; for he buys under, the Augusta
market. The Augusta speculator is
equally safe, for hegetsngood margin
on New York quotations. Does the
New Yoik buyer ever lose anything
but his soul ?
Who, then, pockets the loss? And
how do the buyers manage to save
themselves ?
The New York price is fixed low
enough to allow ample margin for the
loss of bugging and ties in Liverpool;
the Augusta price is enough lower
than the New York price to cover cost
!of handling and transportation; the
same observation holds good us to the
difference in price here and in Au
gusta; and so, tracing back the quota
tions from lust to first sale—from
Liverpool toSpnrtu it is evident that
a margin for the loss of bugging and
ties in Liverpool is embodied in the
price offered the farmer here.
In other words, in the price offered
the farmer for his cotton allowance is
made for the reduction of the oale to
net weight when it readies Liverpool.
This being the ease, it inevitably fol
lows that the loss of the bagging and
ties fulls upon the producer. T here
is no logical avoiding this conclusion.
