The Ragsfng Factory.

We are gratified 10 see that the Lau-
derdale County Alliance have taken
ground in favor of the establishment of
bagging factory at Meridian.
If the reported com bination of cspi-
talists to purchase ell the juts in the
market is true, nothing but bagging
factories In the South will save the
farmers from another robber scheme
next fall. by which they will be forced
to pay II 10 IL cents per ard for bag
ging as they were forced to do last
year. This would entail a loss to the
farmers of 100000, and would cost
ten times the value of every bagging
factory in the United States. II juts rs
out of the question something must be
found to take its place.
We believe that pine straw is the best
substitute for jute that can be had, and
as the material for its manufacture can
be found in any quantity desired in this
part of the State. we hope the expert
ment will he tried. 1t is not wholly an
experiment. because a good article Of
baggrng has been made from pins
straw in North Carolina. and it can be
made substantially here tF the Mas

at its meeting on Monday that he had

ing pine fiber for manufacturing pas
poses. upon condition that he was as
sured that capital sufficient to develop
the enterprise was put into it. aud was
ready to make the same offer to the
several counties cooperating with Lau-

operate with the Alliance in establish

THE NATIONAL CASH BOX.

The Monthly Statement Indicates an Item
of Nearly Six and Half Millions on the
Wrong side for February-Receipts and
Expenditures for the FIRST Eight Months
of the Current Fiscal Year.
WASHINGTON, March 2. - The public
debt, according to the statement issued
from the Treasury Department, has in
creased $6,443 334 during thu past month.
Unusually heavy pension payments,
amounting to $40, ,914, ,954, is assigned as the
chief reason for an increase in the debt
since February 1. The net cash, or sur
plus, in the treasury has decreased about
seventeen millions during the month, and
now amounts to $4S,096, 15S. National
bank repositories yesterday held S4S,SlS,-
| 391 of Government funds, or about one
million and half less than on February
/. The gold fund balance in the treasury
has increased about $2,000000 during the
past month, and amounts to S196, ,245, $50;
| and the silver fund balance, exclusive OF
5000, 600 trade dollars bullion, has in
creased S2,500,O00, and now amounts to
| 81, ,554, ,965.
Government receipts during February
were $50, 133, ,159, against $31, ISL ,931 in Feb
ruary, 1888; the decrease being due to
diminished customs receipts, which this
year in February were S1s, 76S, ,037, against
1861 ,064 in February, 1883.
Expenditures during the past month
were unusually large, owing to heavy
pension payments, and amounted to $S3,
1851, or about fourteen million dollars
more than in February, 1888.
The total receipts and expenditures for
the first eight months Of the current tisca
year, compared with the corresponding
months of the previous year, were as tol-
lows: Receipts, 1885, $254, a66, 80; ex
penditures, $lsS, ,446. 929; receipts, 1889
S255, ,21O, ,423; expenditures, $222, ,43i, 625
This shows an increase in receipts for tn
eight months of the current year ovel
those of the corresponding period Of tn
previous fiscal year of about one million
dollars; and on the other hand an increas
of thirty-nine million dollars in expend
itures so far this year over expenditures
for the eight months of last year.
