The Vieksburg Post urges the
substitution of cotton cloth for
iute as bagging for cotton bales.
1t claims that cloth manufactured
from the lower grades of cotton be
less combustible and cleaner than
iute, and would open up another
source OF demand for cotton. The
manufacture of 5000, 900 yards of
such cloth, used in wrapping one
seasons crop, would employ many
hands and would bring Southwark
much capital. It is obvious that
these cotton bagging factories
would be located in the South,
since the majority of cotton facto-
RES now starting up are being
built in the South, and the day is
not far distant when the American
cotton crop will be converted into
goods in the land where il is grown;
and foreign ship will be leaving
our Gulf ports laden with cotton
goods, and not cotton bales.
When Alabama, with its iron
and coal, drives Pennsylvania out
of Mississippi; when Texas. with
its vast domain, takes the stock
and grain business away from the
pampered Northwest; when Louisi-
ana furnishes Uncle Sam his sugar
and rice, and Massachusetts, moves
its cotton factories to Mississippi;
when the Mississippi River shall
again become the entrepot of the
American continent, then viii the
South become the richest portion
of the hemisphere and the Mexico
Gulf will become the center Of the
richest traffic known 10 man.

Erench Wine.

CHICAGO, January 27.-Adolph Hous-
sage writes from Paris to a local paper
that the wine interests of France are in
bad way. The vintage of 's6 was the
poorest in thirty years, both in guam.
tity and quality. But the vintage of
1887 proves to be poorer still. Those
whose vineyards haveInot been devas-
tated by phylloxera and who therefore
have good wine, will get very high
prices, but most wine growers will have
to face serious 10 ses. The districts
that are worst off are the Gironde, the
Charente and the Charente Inferieure.
AS result of this, the balance of the
foreign wine trade is heavily against
France. Instead of selling wine to
others, she now has to buy it for her
own use. Ten years ago more than
80, 900 600 gallons were annually ex-
ported, while the import scarcely ex-

They returned home, but not being seen
thereafter the neighbors grew suspicion:
of foul play, instituted search day
and found the dead bodies a long
distance from the house. Hitchcock
and wife were found side by side i1 q
hole in the ground which had been
covered lover with earth and straw.
Hitcncock's throat was cut from ear to
ear. and his wife's head split open with
aWhatchet. 1t seemed evident that
Anschlag had murdered them to retain
the money he had paid them for the
land. A lynching party at once started
to find Anschlag. Before the officers
could interfere Anschlag had been hung
by the hands of the lynchers.
h. Charles b. Hitchcock came to- this

Two weeks ago Anschlagl appeared
at Santa Ana, ostensibly to buy farm :,
and arranged to buy the Hitchcock
place for$8 G0, paying small advance.
Last Saturday the abstract was cJni-
pleted, and the deed to the farm was
executed at Santa Ana. Ansohlag de-
sired 10 postpone paying over the money
until Monday. and accompanied Hitch
cock TO their home. 1t is supposed that
he murdered Hitchcock and his wife
some time on Monday or Monday night,
secreting their bodies as telegraphed A
telegram was received this morning
that both Anschlag and Dyke were
lynched seven miles from Santa Ana
last night, and their bodies left hanging z
