A QUIET AFFAIR.

A very quiet wedding occurred at
shortly after o'clock Tuesday even
ing in Miss Minnie Heidel's rooms,
over her millinery store. The con-
tracing parties were Mr.. Albert e.
Bierbauer and Miss Lille Heidel, and
they were united in the bonds OF
matrimony by Rev. A. Il. Taylor.
Only a few of the Immediate relatives
were present. Miss Minnie Heldel
acted as bridesmaid and Will Heldel
as groomsmau. Later in the evening
Mr.. and Mrs. Bierbauer went to the
cozy new home which Mr.. Bierbauer
has lately completed and furnished,
and will make that their future resi-
dence. The house has been finished
and furnished in the best of taste.
Mr.. Bierbauer needs no introduce
tion to our readers, as his public spirit
in building the opera-house has brot'
him prominently to the front. He
owns large interest in the brewery,
and his prospects for the future are
very fiattering. He is young man of
excellent character and business in
tegrity, and has host of friends.
His bride is an excellent young lady,
who is held in high esteem by her
large circle of friends. The best
wishes of all will be extended to Mr..
and Mrs. Bierbauer, with the hope
that they may live long and prosper.

La Normandle, juat arrived. Senator
Wolcott said that during his trip abroad
he had spent much of his time in Eng

almost entirely in favor OF blmeta!llsm
but that country would make no move
until England took the initiative. 10

ton.

ACCORDING to the Boston Journal of
Commerce, 22 members Of the present
United States Senate served in the
Confederate army and 13 in the Federal
army; and 50 members of the
House served in the Confederate army
and 50 in the Federal ARM. O ther wise
classified the Senate consists Of 80
lawyers, l physician, clergyman, 3
newspaper men, 2 bankers, 3 manufact-
urers and merchants. Senator Roach,
of n North Dakota, "call5 himself farm
er," and Lodge of Massachusetts gives
his calling as 'literature." He repre-
sents the manufacturers in fact. The
rest are "caDitalists." In the House
there are 229 lawyers, II newspaper
men, physicians, ) teachers, Is man
ufacturers, 9 merchants, s bankers, 10
public officials" "a farmers, ) planters,
4 lumbermen, 3 real estate dealers, and
one each of the following occupations:
Spectator, wool merchant, hotel pro-
prlet0r, railroad N anager, civil engi
neer, coal miner and railway builder.
Eight report no occupation. Counting
the planters as farmers, it is seeG,
agriculture is represented in Congress
by only 40 farmers which accounts in
large measure for the comparatively
small favor which their industry and
interests have received from the Nat .
iOnal Logl stature.

What Tillm an SAVE.

COLUMBIA S. c., Aug. Ex-Governor
Tillman was asked yesterday by report
ers for Conservative papers to explain
State. He said:
|. Until somebody explains why the
Conservatives of Columbia and Char
lesion did not turn out and vote, it is
not Necessary for US to say anything
about the light Reform vote. The
Conservatives have everything their
way in these two cities and the Re-
formers have everything their way in
the country, and they didn't exert
themselves. In most of the counties
there was no opposition ticket to spur
the Roformers to action. The reitera-
ton of the cry Of a ring is not going to
scare anybody or muster up any votes.
| give notice now that we are not 60
ing to have any Alabama business in
South Carolina in November. If these
people want to warm this black snake
into life and join forces with 1t, under
the plea Of Democracy, we are ready to
meet them and give them the worst
drubbing they ever had in their lives.
The defeated politicians who cannot
get a majority of the white vote. aud
want to get cleo led by joinlng forces
with the negro, may as we'll understand
this. I'll never beliye until see it that
any considerable number of the Con
servatives will make this desperate ef-
fort to regain political power at such
terrible risk, for every sensible man
knows that when the negro is brought
in as the balance of power b3tWeen the
contending white factions the State
will sink into a deeper gulf of misery
and misgovernment than existed from
that which we emerged in 1876. All
the Office in the world are not worth
such a price. NY Democracy means
white supremacy. l and those who
have backed me will not join force with
the negro. Let those who do Justify it
to the people"

MEMPHIS, Aug ga special to the

who was active IN kolb S interest dur
Ing the recent campaign is authority
for the statement that the kolbites
will, in November, when the regular

Senator to succeed Morgan, who will,
it is thought, be Republican, and ad-
journ. They will ther let their Sena
tor contest with Morgan who will be
re elected by the regular Legislature
for the latter's seat. The kolbites
hope to have their man seated, as they
believe the Republicans will control

This will, it is thought be the extent Of
the dual government of the kolbites. rs
they cannot hope to prevent Oates

Raging and Tsre,

We referred the other day, says the
Atlanta Constitution, to the complaints
of cotton spinners and bnyers in regard
to excessive bagging. 1t appears that
farmers bave been covering their co..
ton with oldsugar and grain sacks and
putting more on the bale than the ia re
established by the Liverpool associa-
tion Of buyers. The extra weight of
bagging over and above the tare
comes out of the spinners pockets and
these gentlemen are much more care
full about the nimble thrip than the
cotton growers are. The matter, ho W.
ever, is of Importance to Southern
farmers in more ways than one. In the
first place spinners have combined to-
gether to reject all cotton with an ex-
cess of covering. Naturally this agree
ment will have an effect on buyers, and
during the present season such co tton
will not be marketable. It Is impor tan t
therefore, that the farmers con-
form to the requirements which origi-
mated in Liverpool. An excess Of bag
ging over and above the per cent that
represents the reduction In weight
made to cover the ties and bagging IS a
clear loss TO the spinners, and it is no
gain to the farmers to put on the bale a
less amount of bagging than will, with
ties, weigh thirty pounds. The average
weight of a bale Of cotton is 4S0
pounds. The tare on this amounts to
about S1.75. If the bagging and ties
weigh less than tWenty-nlne pounds the
loss comes out of the farmers cotton.
The matter becomes very simple when
we take into c9nsid Grafton the fact
that thousands Of bales come into mar
ket covered with six yards OF IA bag
ging. 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, al
though he has used but ten and one
half. The price of eleven and one-half
yards comes out of his cotton and goes
into the spinner's pockets. The price
of eleven and one balf yards of jute
bagging, taken out Of 100000 bales,
amounts to the price of 81, 100000 yards
and more of bagging-a pretty round
sum, when the calculation is made at
81 cents for bagging. SO far as bag
glng is concerned, the jute trust seems
to be doing business at the same old
stand. While the price of cotton has
fallen considerably during the past
twelve months, jute bagging is three
quarters of a cent yard higher with
an upward tendency. The farmers
made strong and successful fight 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. 1t is impossible to I'M
agine wilder or more reckless scheme
Of economy than that which is in
volyed in sendiug to India and the far
East for the raw material with which
to prepare American cotton for mark
ct. Raw cotton should be wrapped in
cotton cloth. This would materially
add to the demand for cotton and aid
in keeping up the price. This whole
question ought to give our farmers
food for thought.
