The temperature in Savannah yesterday

No frost fell, the signal observer says, be-

occurred at higher temperature.
The cold wave is still advancing south

THE JUrE BAaGING QUESTION

A Reasonable Way to Get Even With
the Trust" and to Prevent an Out
side Monopoly from Manufacturing
Cotton Bagging Hereafter.
Editor Morning NeicS: 1t having been
practically settled, by the action of the
various cotton exchanges in this country.
that, for the present season at least, cotton
is to continue to be sold by gross weight,
regardless of whether it be covered wi b
jute or cotton cloth, and as planters lose,
on an average, about IS cents per bale on
each bale packed in cotton cloth from what
they would realize for same Quantity of
cotton if packed in jute, would it not be
wise and in order for the alliance" to
allow its members to resume the use of the
lutte" on condition that each one deposits
with the treasurer OF his branch of the
organization the sum of rs cents per bale.
the amount he would save by the use of
"iuten instead of ''cotton"2 The total
amount of such deposits to be made available
as fund to build asuitable number of mills
for the manufacture of bagging best suited
for the covering of cotton hereafter, and
the depositors to be entitled to their
respective shares in all profits realized from
these mills
Assuming that the alliance can control
9. 600 900 bales or less than one-third of the
present crop, this plan would yield capital
of 81, 500, 900 by the end of the active sea-
son, to start the enterprise. With such a
sum in hand to commence work on, the
alliance could easily control the bagging
question, and no doubt would be able to buy
many Of the existing plants for manufact-
uring the article, if they chose, at consider
ably under cost.
Is it not better to adopt some measure
like this than to practically throw away a
like amount-as our planters are now doing,
and may have TO do another year-to whip,
or get even with the ''trust.n

partment OF Agriculture in the

appropriation bill was defeated in the House
to-day. receiving less votes than last week,
when It was ravorably reported BY the
cgmmittee Of the whole The bill apprO-
priated 5000, reduced from s35. 900 in the
original bill, and the friends of the univer-
sity fought hard for it. The result created
some feeling on the part Of the friends OF
the appropriation, who felt that the state
ought to give something to the Institution.
Another bill defeated in the House was
that appropriating $500 70 furnishing the
agricultural dep rtments. IL was claimed
that this bureau bad not been furnished in
keeping with the building and as the other
departments, and in addition considerable
old furniture is being used. 1t will have to

The Olive bill ana its substitutes were
taken up to-day as a special order, but olly
two speeches were ma ie. MIR. Glenn spoke
1t is possible that a vote may be reached
tomorrow, but SO many want to speak that
it may be no several days. 1t is not ex-
pected that the measure, in any shape, will
be able to command a stiIutional
majority.
The widows of confederate soldiers are to
be recognized in the aid now being extended
by the stare to disabled veterans. The bill
introduced by Mr.. johnson Of Jones to so
amend the constitution passed the House
to-day unanimously, and will doubtless pass
the Senate.
RAILROAD EXTENSION.
The most important bill passed by the
Senate to-day was that authorizing the
Marietta and North Georgia railroad 10
extend its lines to Allan a. In the House
a bill TO confer this privilege was some time
ago tabled to save defeat Another bill,
however, was passed to amend the charter
of the road, so as to authorize its extension
to Knoxville, Tenn. This is the
bill the Senate had to-day, and
it was amended so as TO permit
the extension to Atlanta, provided
it did not seek to get on the state roads
right Of way, or cross that track. Mr..
duBignon took the floor and made a strong
speech in favor of this amendment. The
bill passed with this amendment by vote
of 80 to g. The House has now only TO
concur in this amendment, which will not
require constitutional ma oritY.
The Senate passed the bill to amend
Senator Johnson's cigarette law, so as 10
insert the word tobacco after the word

bill to authorize county authorities to hire
