Carolina:
BRETHREN: We are approaching the
close of the second year CT the jute trust
war. The trust is crippled, but not de-
feated. 1t is organizing anew 80 as to
elude State laws against trusts, and the
question now is: "What are we going
to do about it2" Will we now submit,
ask pardon and plead for mercy, or will
we at once arrange for the manufacture
of enough standard cotton bagging, on
the best terms possible, to cover every
bale of Alliance cotton in the State, and
cooperating with our brethren in other
States, the entire crop of the cotton
States next year, and in doing 80 estab.
lish new manufacturing industry-all
our own-defeat the jute trust, and Sc
cure from the cotton exchanges of the
world an honest tare regulation2
Let each sub-Alliance in the State, at
its next regular meeting, express its
preference and have its secretary report
to me its action. shall be thankful TOR
any Information or suggestions bearing
on the question.
If we are to continue and succeed in
this fight we should lose no time. We
hope to hear from every sub-Alliance in
the State before the first day OF Decera-
Der, 80 that our position may be known
before the meeting Of our national orga-
nizatiou.
We hope soon to have our State busi-
ness exchange in condition to make con-
tracts for us. Fraternally,

Cotton Stplk BngQlnQ.

The Baltimore Manufacturers Record
says: Mr.. j. NJ. Forshee, secretary Of
the Chamber of Industry of Wilmington,
N. c.. was in Macon, Ca, recently, ex-
hibiting samples of half-irch roye made
from cotton stalk fibre. According to
the Telegraph, he also had sample OF 2
pound bagging made from the same fibre.
Mr.. Forshee announces that machines
have been invented for stripping the
stalk and manufacturing the fibre into
bagging, and that "the cost of the man
ufactured article will not be more than
four cents per yard. One acre of cotton
stalks will furnish fibre enough to make
bagging enough to bale five bales of co.,
ton, and as this is about five times as
much IS is needed the excess will be
iu manufacturing rope and for various
other uses to which jute is now put"

the heritage of all the people aud should
not be subject to speculative traffic. Oc
.cupancy and US shall be the only title tc
the possession of land. Taxes upon land

How One Alliance Office Works


Since the Alliance cotton Office was
opened in Greenville, we have been fire.
quently asked as to how it is working,
and questions have come from both mer-
chants and farmers, who desire to know
whether or not the plan of selling cotton
adopted by the Greeuville Alliance
is yielding any real benefits to the far
mers.
On Tuesday morning last we paid a
visit to the Office fer the purpose Of in
quiriug into the matter, when the facts
as given below were ascertained, and
which are submitted without comment,
as they speak more eloquently for the
plan than words from us could do. Read
these statements carefully:
On the 2Str of October, cotton was
quoted in Liverpool at SIC; in New
York at 104cents, and in Greenville a:
9 to 9icents, onlyfancy cotton command
ing 0ic.
On the goth of October the ALI.
ance cotton Office was opened for bust,
ness.
On the 18th of November cotton
was quoted In LlVerpool at 04, IN NE"
York at 104c., and in Greenville at 81
to 81.
1t will be seen that the price in Liver.
pool was the same on both days fol
which both days are given, and it will
be seen also that while New York de
clined oue-fourth OF cent, Greenvillt
advanced one.fourth, showing one-halt
cent difference in price per pound, ol
So so per bale of 500 pounds in favor o
the Alliance Office.
There will doubtless be some men wht
will contend that we are claiming en-
tircly too much for the influence of th'
Alliance Office on the market 10 this city
but the figures given above speak TO
themselves, and if anybody can disprov'
the claim made they are invited to d.
so.

SOMETHING NEW UNDER THE SUN
One Hundred Th Dusand Dollars Year for
the Privilege Of Using Backs of Postage


the Privilege Of Using Backs of Postage
Stamps for Advertising Purposes.
Mr.. W. j. Arkell. proprietor of Judge
and Frank Leslie's illustrated NeWspa.
per, recently conceived brilliant idea.
1t occurred to him that he could afford
to pay the government of the United
States S100,00 year for the privilege
of using the backs of postage stamps for
advertising purposes. Having fortified
himself as to the safety of the offer by
interviews with some of the best adver-
tisers in this and the old country he de-
decided to make the tender.
Judge L'Amoreaux, of Ballston, the
attorney of Mr.. Arkell, proceeded to
Washington atonce and consulted
the Postmaster General regarding the
matter. The latter feared, however,
that the statutes would stand in the way
and prevent any such sale. He decided
to examine into the matter and see what
could be done, and assured Mr.. Arkell
that he appreciated the enterprise and
generosity which had suggested the
scheme.
This morning, at Mr.. Arkell's Office in
the Judge building, conference was
held, attended by Judge L'Amoreaux,
Assistant Corporation Counsel Sweetser,
Mr. Arnold Of Arnold &c Green, Mr.. w.
]. Arkell, Senator Arkell and others.
The attorneys, after careful examina-
Of the statutes, were inclined to believe
that there was nothing in them to pro-
hibit the acceptance of the 100000
offer. All the facts regarding the mat
ter will be laid before Post Master Gen.
eral Wanamaker for his further conaid.
GRAFTON.
Mr.. Arkell's idea Is to print some ono
advertisement OF reputable house on q
certain part of the stamps for certain
time, or on all during limited period
and follow this up By printing another
period.

FEEDING AND FATTENING..

Hogs intended for porkers will now be
we'll on the way to fatncss. We have
always thought that pork made from
sweet potatoes is the sweetest, best and
cheapest that can be produced on a
farm. Let the hogs have liberal sup
ply of this esculent every day, feeding
once day on corn, or better, corn meal,
and finishing off with corn meal mush
fed in clean troughs, as the cold weather
and hog-killiug time approaches. In-
telligent farmers need not to be remind
ed that there is no economy in withhold.
ing food of the most fattening character
from animals intended for the slaughter.
One may stint, to some extent, the work.
ing animals on o farm without loss or
detriment to their working ability, but
every pound of food withheld from
milch COWS and porkers involves a loss
that can never be recovered. The aim
should be to fatten hog in the shortest
time. To do this he should be supplied
with as much food as he will consume
without wasting, three times a day. An
animal will eat more in cold weather
than in mild, but fatten less, because q
much larger portion of the food is con-
sumed in keeping up the animals heat;
it is burned away in the lungs as fuel.
The first solid cold spell in November, or
futher South, in December, should be
the signal for killing, and the last hog
should be in the smoke-house by the
first of January, except one or two, that
the "feast of fat things" may continue a
while longer. But hog should not be
butchered until fully fat, or as long as
he continues to fatten. 1t is better to
feed even in cold weather than to kill
when only half fat.
The same remarks apply with similar
force to the fattening of steers, except
that owing to the great ease with which
these may be kept dry, clean, and com

were awaiting the arrival of minister, who
was to marry Mr. Grover and Mrs. Davis.

into the room and looked around with an
angry glance. She claimed to be Mrs. John

upon this occasion.
