Getting In Harness.
The State.

Governor Tillman has gotten down to
work on the dispensary situation. He
has first of all taken up the matter Of ap-
pointing constables and thinks he has
gotten the force in good shape. 1t has
been his policy to appoint old consta-
bles wherever they are disengaged, and
have been found to- be cool and deter
mined. He thinks that he has. q good
force and will put it to work at once.
Each of the force is provided with a
"gun." badge, commission, and

Chamber, Columbia, S. C.-In resuming
operations under the dispensary law Of
1893, constables, while exercising all the
will be careful to avoid any unnecessary
friction or get into any broils. They
will seize all contrabaud liquors and
make arrests under evidence sufficient
to convic., the same as heretofore.
When necessary, they will apply to the
sheriffs Of the county for assistance in
making arrests or searches. When these
are not convenient they may apply to
mayors and intendants of towns for
search warrants and for the aid of the
police. Any refusal on the part of the
mayor or intendants and police to CO.
operate must be reported promptly to
the Governor. Constables will not search
express cars without specific instruc-
tions. But if they see any contraband
liquor in one they can order it detained
and carried to the local express Office for
examination. Freight depots may be
entered ard searched whenever open for
business without warrant; the freight

packages care must be exercised not to
injure the contents.
All saloons and other open places of
business where contraband liquor is sup
posed to be sold, may be searched without
a warrant. Constables will wear their
badges at all times.

BAGGlNG ANO rARE.

We referred the other day, says the
Atlanta Constellation, to the complaints of
cotton spinners and buyers In regard to
axcessiYe bagging, It appears that far
iners have been covering their cotton
with old sugar and grain sacks, and put
I ling moro on the bale than the tare estab-
:lished by the Liverpool association Of
buyers.
The extra weight Of bagging, over and
above the tare, comes outof the spinners'
pockets, and these gentlemen are much
more careful about.the nimble thrip than
the cotton growers are.
The matter, however, is of importance
Ito Southern farmers in more ways than
one. In the first place, spinners have
combined together to reject all cotton
with an excess of covering. Naturally
this agreement will have an effect on
buyers, and during the present season
such cotton win not be marketable. 1t is
S important, therefore, that the farmers
conform to the requirements which origi-
nate in Liverpool.
IS An excess of bagging over and above
the 6 per cent. that represents the reduc-
gtion in weight made to cover the ties and
sbagging Is clear loss to the spinners,
and It is no gain to the farmers to put on
the bale a less amount of bagging than.
viii, with the ties, weigh thirty pounds.
The average weight Of bale of cotton is
4s0 pounds. The tare on this amounts to
about Sl.75. If the bagging and ties
weigh less than twenty-nine pounds the
loss comes out Of the farmers cotton.
The matter becomes very simple when
Eve. take into consideration the fact that
8 thousands Of bales como into market
covered with six yards of IL baggiDg. A
deduction Of 6 per cent. is made in the
weight of the bale, and the farmer Is thus
compelled to pay for twenty-five pounds
Of bagging, although he has used but ten
Z and one-halE The price OF eleven and
one-half yards comes out of his cotton
: and goes into the spinners' pockets. The
Z price of eleven and one-half yards of jute
bagging, taken out Of 100000 bales
amounts tc the price of $1,000, 900 yards
and more Of bagging--a pretty round
sum, when the calculation is made at St
cents q pound for bagging.
So far as bagging is concerned, the jute
trust seems to be doing business at the
same old stand. While the price of cot
ton has fallen considerably during the
past twelve months. jute bagging is three
quarters of cent yard higher with an
Upward tendency. The farmers made
strong and successful fght on the trust a
. few years ago, but it seems to be getting
the upper hand again.
Every bale OF cotton marketed in the
South should be covered with heavy
cotton cloth. tits impossible to imagine
q wilder or more reckless scheme of
economy than that which Is involved in
3 sending TO India and the far East for the
raw material with which to prepare
American cotton for market. Raw cot
ton should be wrapped in cotton cloth.
This wonld materially add to the demand
I for. cotton and aid in keeping up the
price.
This whole question ought to give our
farmers food for thought.

The question is being agitated as to
whether q voter who votes for only part
OF the ticket in the primary is in honor
bound under the rule of the party to
support all the nominees. We think he
/: Is under the oath and pledge bound to
support all the nominees. Because he
does not promise to support the man OF

However, there is a difference of opinion
this point In our opinion those who
vote are bound to support the whole
ticket.
