Coolle Bagging Must Go.

r.
There can be. no. doubt that the jute
bagging trust has butted its brains out
against the wall erected by the cotton
planters of the South. The jute trust
had very easy time of it last year, but
even then the farmers alliance had the
neryeto fight it and destroy some Of its
prospective profits.
This year the alliance took time by the
forelock, warned by the threats of the
trust, and has proceeded to make up a
programme that will cause the juta man.
ufacturers a great deal of trouble even if
it does not push them to the wall.
The farmers of Georgia and South
Carolina have already decided to take four
million yards of cotton baggiDg, such as
can be readily supplied by mills in Geor-
gia and Louisiana, and now the farmers
of Louisiana pledge themselves to lake
two million yards more, making six mil.
Hon yards for the. three States.
This action definitely settles the jute
trust trouble. Even if the farmers of no
other cotton State were to move in the
matter-though they will all fall into
line heartily-the jute trust would be de.
stroyed. The loss on the sales of six
million yards would cut such hole in
the profits Of the combine that the mills
which have stocks on hand would be glad
to sell jute bagging to the farmers at
greatly reduced price but the alliance
men sre pledged not to buy jute bagging
on any terms, so that the bagging trust
may be said to have crawled into very
deep hole and pulled it in after them.
But the alliance movement is more far.
reaching than any attempt to break up
the jute trust could be. It contemplates
happier results than the mere breaking
up ofajute bagging combine; it contem.
plates the creation of new market for
the lower grades of cotton which will be-
used in the manufacture of bagging; and
it will, in fact, give to the south new
industry.
The exchanges and the cotton insurance
companies appear to favor the change, and
there seems to be no reason whatever why
the southern cotton planters should not
forever give up the use of coolie baggipg.

A Georgia Opinion Of the Homestead
Law.


The Atlanta Consultation contains an
article fromsthe Marietta, Ga, Journal
upon. the, homestead law, which is such.
clean, ,sdispassicnate analysis ofa most
important Law that We reproduce it for
the benefit our readers -.
SO unpopular has the homestead law
become in Georgia that it's provisions are
very seldom taken. advantage of. We
have not averaged one advertisement in
five years for homestead exemptions.
The right given by the legislature to EN-.
body in q note a homestead waiver has
practically abolished the homestead law.
What use it can be now, only to encum.
Der legal documents, is question many
thoughtful minds have been revolving.
It certainly is not helping The poor man
to get credit because he is required. to
waive all homestead exemptions before
he can buy guano or provisions on time.
Then where is there any advantage to
grow out of it to anybody, unless some
negligent or careless person credits some
one without taking q waiver I? Those
who have taken the homestead find that
they have placed their property in such
legal embarrassmentG and difficulties as
to be unable to secure credit, and they
worry, fuss and fume, and wish they had
never availed themselves of the home.
stead law. Then if We look at the moral
aspect, it is not the square thing to hold
property to the deprivation of an honest
creditor. The best way for g man to
leave his wife and children home is to
keep ont of debt, and by economy and
industry bay home and leave it to them
unencumbered. Good collection laws
will increase public confidence and en-.
able a man to get credit much easier
than under exemptions laws that create
doubt and suspicion. We believe in
everybody having home. People who
own their homes make a community Of
common welfare and mutual interests.
They make better citizens, feel more in.

of society. But every man who Owls
home should buy it with his own money,
and not his neighbours. Letevery incen.

wholesome laws, and the people will grow
more prosperous, contented and happy
under them.

e. one-third OF the regiment from the right
was swung back at about right angle with
the line at the stone wall forming an angle
at the wall and thus presenting new front
as he advanced. The movement was accom-
plished, but with considerable loss, so quiet
ly that the rest Of the regiment, engaged as
they were with the enemy, was not aware of
1t, a steady fire being kept up during the
whole movement. This maneuvre, of such
great Importance to the safety OF our line was
witnessed by many officers on the enemy's
side who have since expressed their admira-
ton for the GOODNESS with which 1t was exc
cuted. The tables were turned. As the vet

breathed easier. But the attack at the Peach

further progress made in forcing up the
Plum Run Valley west Of Little Round Top,
which necessitated the withdrawal of Wards
