TWENTY-THREE VICTIMS.

Yellow Fever Still Spreading. and Some Of
the Best Families in the City Affected.
Citizens Still Very Indignant at the Acts
of the Board Of Health.
JACKsoNvII. G, Fla, Aug. 3l.-Twsnty-
three new cases of yellow fever have been
reported for the past twenty four hours, and
three deaths-Lafayette Dancy, confidential
clerk of the internal revenue office, Mrs. d.
j. Crowley, wife of the manager of the
Western Union telegraph Office, and David
Lingus, an Italian.
Among the new cases are several leading
families, including Father Kenney, Mrs. D.
r. Daniel, Mrs. Susan Sengle and 0. 8.
Kean Many cases are critical, but it can
hardly be said that the disease is most more
malignant than a week ago. The action Of
the surgeon general in preventing refugees
from going to healthy points and requiring
all to be detained at quarantine camp Is
severely condemned.
The Citizens Auxiliary Sanitary associa-
tion have made protest, declaring it about
as safe to keep their wives and children here
as in a mixed quarantine camp where there
is no hospital for the suitable care OF any
stricken with fever there.
The case Of young Pollard, who was
brought back sick from Camp Perry and
died, adds to the indignation as it is believed
that Pollards death was due to his being
hustled around while suffering from the first
stages of the disease, instead Of receiving
prompt treatment 1t is feared that other
cases of the kind may occur. The Times

The following are
the provisions Of the bill for the re-

so much thereof as may be necessary;
but no part of the money is to be
paid to any assignee Of any such

provided by this act shall extend only
to those depositors in whose favor
such balances have been properly
verified, and to their heirs and legal

The Cotton Sageing Trust.

The Hooker resolution, authorizing the
President to suspend the collection OF
duty on bagging so long as the trust may
exist ought to be taken up and passed.
The resolution is now before the Ways
and Means ee.-Birmingham
Herald.
We agree with our esteemed contem-
porary that this nefarious trust should
be crippled, and it will be by the re-
moval of the tariff. The manufacturers
of bagging have leased all the bagging
factories in the country, 80 as TO stop pro-
duction and have complete control Of
the market. There Is nothing of the
''live and let live" principle in their
composition for they have advanced the
prices steadily, hoping to squeeze cou-
pie of millions out OF the pockets of the
cotton planters in single season.
Will they succeed in this squeezing
process, and will the planter submit
Nay, verify. We have strong hopes that
the action of the trust will result in benz
fit to the cotton planter instead Of injury.
The farmers are already organizing to
protect themselves; meetings have been
held at which they compared notes
and exchanged ideas, and the outlook is
more flattering to the farmer than it is to
the rascally combine.
There is no necessity for wrapping the
staple harvested this year in cotton bag
ging at all. The bagging is not the arti-
Gle which is purchased, either at the
mills in this country, or in the cotton
market of Liverpool. The covering has
precious little to do with the staple, and
there are plenty of substitutes for bag
ging. Several have been suggested, and
it is to be hoped that from trial of all
Of them one at least will be found which
will fully answer the purpose and thus
save millions to the planters.
One, and that most commonly named,
is the use of stout cotton cloth made
from stained, trashy or other unmarked
able lint. There does not seem to be
any good reason why this material would
not answer the purpose very well. and
indeed better than the fimsy bagging
with interstices through which a little
finger may be thrust, that is often used
for covering cotton. Another expedient
suggested. and which appears to have
merit in it, is the use OF strong paper,
with thin boards at intervals to prevent
cutting by the hoops or ropes. Why
Huntsville gazette., 1888-09-01

may not this be practicable and satisfac-
tory, if care is taken not to have the
strips so thick as to unduly increase the
weight?
The covering. whatever it may be, is
always deducted from the weight of the
bale in Liverpool, and the price allowed
there governs the price here, SO that the
argument that the planter gets any a How
ance for the bagging and hoops is a delu-
sion Still another proposed substitute
is Sisal grass which grows wild in por-
tions Of the South. Mr.. Charles d..
Sweet, of Eldora, Fla, writes that on the
coast of Florida, where he lives "sisal
hemp grows wild, and large plantations
of it can be cultivated to perfection.
Land suitable to its growth can be pur-
chased from $1.50 to $3.50 per acre, and
that, too, within one and two miles OF
railroad"
Surely out Of one of these, or many
other native resources, our cotton plan
ters can find the means of defeating an
iniquitous conspiracy against their inter-
ests and ultimately turning into resultant
good what was meant for their injury.
And, in the meantime, let the Hooker
resolution be passed if for nothing else
than to teach the trust that they must
not prostitute our protective tariff laws
to their own base and greedy ends. And
when the bagging manufacturers have
learned that they cannot get up corner
with impunity, and consent to fair prices
again let the Hooker resolutions be sus-
pended -Mercury.

LaFayette-The Chambers County
Fsrmers's Alliance was in session here
all day yesterday. They passed resolu-
tions endorsing the proceedings OF the
State Alliance in regard to the bagging
trust. They do not seem to be much
alarmed about the trust, but say that they
will not purchase yard of bagging at
the present prices, and furthermore say
that they intend to exhaust every posi-
BILE means before they buy any at all.
One farmer told your correspondent that
he had enough bagging under his carnets
to cover twelve bales of cotton, and when
that was all used. he would quit ginning
or use something else besides jute bag
ging for his cotton.
