the situation as TO baggng for the
coming cotton crop, through IHE PRo
eREss4vEE FARMER, submit the 3ollo~-

Our best information is That d
bagging trust is more sofdly en-.
trenchedsand more determined than 1t
was last season for plundering the
cotton farmers, and that we must pay
such prices for iute bagging as they
may exact, unless we car procure .

find bysconcerted action, and We call
mon the President of our national
body, the Presidents and Business
Agents of the various States to insti-
tute prompt action for relief in this
emergency. Meantime We counsel
our brethren in Wake county to stand
by their manly record in resisting this
conspiracy and to resolve not to use a

A MYSTERIOUS DEATH.

The Coroner Investigating a Fossil
 ble Murder in Newtown.
 DANBURY, May 11.-John Nichols, a resident of Hatterstown district. New town, is under arrest pending an lnves- tigation into the cause of death of a Pole named Barrotsky. who died rather sud- denly Thursday morning. Nichols and the Pole came to this place over year ago and lived by themselves doing their own cooking. They would frequently get drunk and Wednesday night they both drove to Bridgeport. Nichols admits that they both got drunk. When he reached home he tried to in duce his companion to leave the team, but found it impossible and, as the night was pleasant one he concluded to let him stay where he was. The next morn ing when he went to the barn, the man was dead. The coroner is holding an in vestigation to-day.
 At late hour this afternoon the cor, oner returned a verdict of death from alcoholism.
