The propIictors of the Lane Cotton
Mills of New Orleans have issued Il
circular to the planters of the South
in relation to their cotton tagging.
They expect to have the tarc on cot
ton so wrapped, fairly adjusted, and
they will be fully able to compete
with the .jute bagging even at the
price it sold before the Trust raised
the price. They also point out that
the cotton bagging will be useful i'll
many ways after being once used as Il
wrapping for cotton, that it is ii better
protection from dirt and against fire
than jute bagging, and that the supply
cannot he cOrncred without CORES
pondingly increasing the price of cot
ton. McSSrS. Stern g. Co. confidently
assert that by next year, the planters
can drive ont jute tagging altogether,
thus giving increased employment to
thousands of our own American citi
zcns, keeping at home millions OF
dollars now exported to buy inte bag
ging and by making an additional
demand for fully 100000 bales of low
grade cotton, increase the price of
all American cotton.
Every argument seems to be in ia
vor of wrapping cotton with cotton
and dispensing with jutc bagging
altogether.

Brookhaven needs a newspaper.
One that will point the people to the
true doctrine Of State economy and
which will correctly interpret the SEN
timent of the masses. 1t needs a pa
per that will show from a broad and
liberal platform what the people OF
the State are doing and what they
want to do. 1t needs a paper that
will not try to lead public sentiment
into narrow paths, which demagogues
always infest THE News and the
Leader are neither one fit to guide the
sentiment OF dummy. They fall
into line with Woolhatism and try to
mislcad the people. How can the
people bell We their reports when one
is wailing over the defeat of G. B.

in suits for libel.-East Mississippi

We will return the compliment by
simply saying that the Times, which

The Letter Of Demagogut

The indianapolis Sentinel, the
leading Democratic organ Of Indiana,
has the following to say Of HARRISON 5
letter of acceptance;
1t is not the letter of Il statesman.
1t is the letter Of a demagogue. 1t is
uncandid, dishonest and sophistical in
its treatment o, the principal issue be-
fore the country, and its illusions to
the other questions involved in the
present campaign raises it to DO high
er level. 1t is a pettifogging docu-
mcnt from the first word to the last.
The impression which the Generals
tariff utteranccs will produce upon the
intelligent reader is that he is without
absolute conviction on this question.
When it is remembered that Gen.
Harrison and his party in Indiana
have been for many years demanding
reductions of the tariff, and that he
ran for Governor upon platform de-
claring explicitly that the government
should, in its revenue law, give the
greatest possible exception to articles
Of primary necessity (the object aimed
at by the Mills bilD the utter iLsincer-
ity Of his present attitude becomes
manifest. x
A man with solid convictions would
not be capable of such fragrant incon-
Sistcncy. But the General is not only
insincere, he is cowardly in his discus
sion Of the tariff issue. Declaring
himself in accord with the declarations
Of the Chicago platform, he attempts
to break the force of its demand for
free whiskey by saying that an occa-
sion is not likely to arise for the re-
peal of the internal taxes. x X
And yet the Chicago convention has
said to the country in plain language,
that rather than surrender any Of the
protective system, the Republican par
ty would repeal the whole revenue
system. Gen. Harrison says he in
dorses the platform, but he also says
that the policy it proposes will not be
carried out. We believe this is the
first time the Suifrages of the people
upon the ground that the policy which
his party proposes would not be carried
out

The political machinery of the
party will soon be put i'll operation

used in securing nominations to carry

ousies will not be tolerated in the

most deeply interested of all clasSes)
have awakened to the issue and Join
forces with the towns people to-place

a man in whom they can contide their

and years has been ignored in this
respect, but puts forth to the country
the Hon. Thos. :. Ford of Marion
county, as a gentleman fully qualified
for the position of Governor of this

charges of any kind whatever can be
brought. If elected the mantle will

lnasmuch as our present County
Democratic Executive Committee did
nothing for the election of the party
nominees last fall, thereby suffering
one of them to be defeated by an in
significant plurality, now would be a
good time for them to redeem them
selves by seeing that a rousing ma
JOrity is given to Cleveland, Thurman
and Hooker. Because the enemy
seems to be doing nothing, too much
should not be taken for granted. The
State Executive Committee wisely
recommends organization and aetivi-
" in every county.

A half interest or the whole of the
Chickasaw Messenger, Frank Bulkitt's
paper, is offered for sale. 1t will be a
wonder if some of the State Ring do
not jump at this opportunity to buy
out and get control of a paper that
has so long been veritable thorn in
the flesh by exposing their shady
schemes. The fear that Burkitt might
soon turn up at the head of another
journal is about the only thing that
will prevent their swapping at the
bait thus temptingly offered.

The opinion now prevails quite gen
orally that there has been no real vel
low fever even at jackson, and that
the cases reported were a malignant
fever of another type produced by To-
cal conditions about the Jackson de-
pot. but the jackson physicians are
unanimously agreed that all the cases
that have been reported yellow fever
in reality were such, and they are
anxious lest those persons outside
who are doubtful may venture to re-
turn. TO prevent this, DR.. Writ

jackson until the danger can be de
clared absolutely past, which will also

Clever Conduct of the |. c. Rail-
road.

EOdu.
The officials and employees of the
Illinois Central Railroad should be
held in grateful remembrance by the
public for their commendablc conduct
throughout the late yellow fever pan
ic. This road not only showed that it
was anxious to serve the stricken city
of jackson in every way consistent
with the safety of other communities.
but was at the same time scrupulously
regardful of the quarantine regula-
lions of every community. and willing
to cooperate to the extent of its abil-
ity in preventing the spread of the
disease. In many instances paSscn-
gers on its trains were not allowed,
on account of shotgun quarantine
regulations, to disembark at their
expected destinations. and had to he
carried back and forth for day or
two, like birds at sea, before they
could find friendly perch, and some
times had to be even carried to Hi
nois or other distant points beyond the
State, but 10 extra charge was made
for any Of the extra riding, and if
such passengers ran short of funds,
they were fed at the roads expense,
and finally returned free of charge.
Score big white mark for the |. G..
and its clever, efficient and obliging
management.
