OUR COTTON EXCHANGES AND
y THE FARMERS. -

ID REPRESENTATIVES. of the lead,
III ing American cotton exchanges
met In New Orleans on the 18th inst.
and decided that on and after the lst
of October a deduction of twenty-four
pounds should be made on all bales
of cotton wrapped in jute bagging
and sixteen pounds for all bales GOV.
cred in cotton bagging, In other
words, cotton shall hereafter be sold
at net weight. Until recently the
great majority of cotton planters of
the South were not aware that they
actually received nothing for their
bagging and ties. This wrong is now
corrected in so far that the farmer
may know exactly what he is selling
and what he is receiving for it. 1t
places. cotton and jute bagging on
their merit and it is for the South to
say which it shall use. It has already
decided the question. After 1889,
the cotton crop of the South will be
wrapped in cotton covering. This is
q great victory for the Alliance, but
to make it complete and permanent,
every bale, possible, of the present
crop should be wrapped in cotton. In
this connection we may mention the
contemplate methods adopted by GER
tain friends and tools of the Trust, for
fighting us. We are in receipt of a
letter from a friend in Charleston,
who says that he was made to "boil
over" in witnessing what he believed
was a deliberate plot for bringing
cotton bagging into disrepute. In
unloading cotton covered with both
cotton and jute, he noticed that the
hands would seize the cotton bagging
with their hooks in the toughest
manner, pull it, twist and jerk it
with all their power, and that they
could not have handled it more
roughly if they had made a contract
to do so and he intimated clearly his
opinion that such was the case.
There is a large jute mill in Char
lesion and we have noticed that the
largest paper of that city is by no
means favorable to cotton bagging.
Charleston may yet see the day when
it will be glad to get cotton in cotton
bagging. Fortunately for the farmer
he can soon place himself in position
where he will sell and deliver his cot
ton in his own yard if he shall SO
choose.
In the meeting of the exchanges re-
ferred to, was a scene as rare as it
was significant. 1t was the presence
of representatives of the Alliance
genuine live farmers-who were in
Vited and welcomed by the exchanges.
The cotton farmer will be recognized
hereafter in the management of this
great Southern crop and it will be all
the better for him, for the dealers,
the manufacturers, and the South.

Mews and Observer and other papers
say that freights on cotton from Ral-
eigh to the cotton mills west of us
have been increased and that rates on
the manufactured goods from the
mills to the Northern markets have
been reduced. That this is discrimi-
nation against Raleigh, etc. Same old
game! Same old story! The cities
and mills and papers get into a big
row over determinations in freights
when the truth is, the farmers are foot
ing the 6sM. AS in the present case,
the rates are increased on cotton
shipped from Raleigh to Haw river
or Salem. Who pays it 2 Who is
the sufferer The farmer, the man who
produces at, because this increase in
cost of transportation is taken from
the price when it is bought from the
farmer. The NeWs and Observer calls
upon the Raleigh Cotton Exchange
and the Chamber of Commerce to
" investigate the whole subject" Yes,
and be laughed at by the railroads
The thing to do, Bro. Ashe, is for
the News and C~6server, the city of

Dehorning Denounced.

It Is pleasant to observe that the
practice Of dehorning cattle has re.
ceived q decisive check at the lands
of the foremost judicial authorities
of England. The Society for Pre-
vention Of Cruelty TO Animals recent.
ly brought suit against Norfolk
farmer for torturing thirty-two bull
locks by cutting off their horns. He
admitted the dehorning, and the hor-
rible suffering it caused to the brutes,
but claimed that in the end IL added
to their value, and was therefore jus-
tifiable. The local magistrates dis
missed the complaint, and the case
was Immediately carried to the
Queens Bench. That court prompt
ly and In most emphatic terms re-
versed the decision. Lord Chief JUS
tice Coleridge denounced the prac-
tice OF dehorning as detestably brut-
al, and Mr.. Justice Hawkins declared
it to be a revolving operation, 70
torturing that he shuddered to think
of men being found to perform It.
As to the illegality Of it, the judges
were agreed. The pain inflicted was
altogether disproportioned to the
slight and dubious good secured. Il
was monstrous infiction Of torture,
for the sake of O petty and selfish
gain, and its justification was impos-
sible. This pronouncement will put
an end to this particular form Of bru-
tality in England, and 1t is to be
hoped that, to that extent at least,
America will initiate the Mother
