Now that the work of the school is
about over, it is good time for teachers
to ask themselves what they have accom-
plished. Let US look back over the work
done, and scan it closely and see if il is
all Just as we would have it. Let US put
ourselves through a close self-examina
ton, and ask ourselves some searching
questions. It will do us good and will
stimulate US for future work. We may
not find everything just to our satisfac.
tion, we may not be altogether pleased
with the examination, but we will be the
better for it, and we will be helped by it.

JACKSON'S BAGGING.
Cotton STALKS Yield tho Royal Material.

AUGUSTA, Ca, April 21.-Mr. Will
liam Z. Jackson, young lawyer of this
city, to-day finds himself the center of
the gaze of every cotton planter in the
union. He has solved the jute bagging
problem that has been sore contention
with the southern planter. MIR. Jackson
will furnish covering for cotton made
from the cotton stalk, thus, verifying the
prediction of Edward Atkinson that
every part of the cotton plant would be
used. The cotton planters have been SO
bitler against the jute bagging trust, that
they have been sending their cotton to
market covered with burlaps and sheet.
ing at net loss of about dollar bale.
THE SAVING MADE.
To-day the Alliance men are jubilant.
By the making of bagging of the cotton
stalk it is estimated that about shree
million dollars are put in the planters
pockets, and the gross savings to the
country are about three million dollars.
The stalks have been a nuisance in the
field, and much labor is required to
remove them. Now the planter will
receive about two dollars and half per
ton for them, delivered at the depots.
The annual cotton crop produces stalks
enough to bale three yearly crops.
MIR. JACKsoNs WORK.
Mr.. Jackson has been working for
months with the idea of discovering q
fibre that for bagging would compete
with the jute article. This, by treatment
in bis machine, he discovered most ap-
propriately in the stalk of the cotton
plant. The stalk. is cut and housed
when mature. 1t is run through corru.
gated rollers under heavy pressure, with
an eccentric attachment. Water is all
the while carrying off the foul residue of
gum, pulp and skin. Carding machines
then prepare the yarn for the weaving
machine, and Mr.. Jackson, keeping his
labors secret, worked until he had a
sufficient quantity aud then went north
to experiments on the looms al the jute
bagging foctory of j. c. Todd, in Patter-
son, NJ.
THE TEST MADE.
That gentleman assisted him, and for
three days they worked. The result is
roll of bagging that it puzzles experts to
detect among the jute rolls. One of the
members of the exporting cotton house
of Doughty & Co., says it would not be
pronounced other than jute bagging by
one man in hundreds. 1t is proven to be
uninfamsble. Mr.. Todd, an expert in
bagging, says, it is all the southern plan
ter could desire in bagging. The jute
people have eyed askance the new candi.
date. 1t is shade darker, but will not
stain cotton. 1t runs about two and one.
quarter pounds to the yard, but can be
made lighter. Seven and eight yards are
required for bale. Mr. Jackson was
not Satisfied to trust to sentiment in
giving his product to the market. Only
when he demonstrated that he could
make bagging at seven aud one half cents
yard, less tLan which jute people lose
money, would be go into the enterprise.
This he can do. He will make Augusta
his general headquarters for the offices
and factories of the new company, though
each State will have factory, with fibre
machines scattered about to produce and
bale the crude material.
