Memphis daily appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1847-1886, 1878-12-08

The BellevIlle (Tenn.) Enterprise, in a
well-written article, complains Of the inferior
flax bagging which has been foisted upon
cotton growers. Last spring the APPEAL
warned its readers against this inferior bag
ging as an article that Injuries the cotton it
envelopes IN two ways-from the chIves that
mingls with it; and from the color that,
when the baRgng becomes wet, Injuries it.
Again we gave information toput planters on
their guard when we found what was doing
at railroad stations, and wherever iucautious
planters were willing to take ow-priced stuff,
especially when they found that its unfair
heavy weight made it possible to obtain an
extra profit by selling thick, inferior bagging
at the same price per pound rs good, sound
cotton. We can assure our Crockett county
cotemporary that there are two sides to this
coifee-spot bagviug question, neither OF
which are creditlble 20 business. That
justice may be done to honest fax-bag-
ging mauuiactur -r=, however, we once more
state that the objection to the coffee-spot
marking, chiy1s-dcpositing and unfairly
heavy 0agging, il not that It is made of fax
no better article than fax for bagging can
be lOund-bIt because il Is made Of material
not put into q condition for sale, an inferior
article IN quality and fraudulent one in
weight. The meeting held at our cotton
exchange adopted regulation on the sub
Ject 1t considered correct, and that meeting,
1t must be remembered, was largely com
posed OF persons having no concern with sell
ing baggiug or any other cotton supplies,
being simply cotton buyers and concerned
only WITH the merchantable quality of the
produce they nude
