BIRMINGHAM, Ala, May l6.-The bag
cling convention in secret session last
night had long discussion on the bag
cling question. A committee on bagging
was appointed in the morning and re-
ported cotton bsgging as permanent

crop would be 100000 less. Begging
trust representatives were present and
offered to lay down iute bagging at 1212
cent per yard against 10 cents as the cost
of the cotton baggiug. The report of

IN appearance the beer drinker may be
the picture Of health, but in reality he is
most incapable of resisting disease. < slight
injury, severe cold, or a shock to the body
or mind will commonly provoke acute dis
ease ending fatally. Compared with other

he is more incurable and more generally dis
