THE question Of substituting cotton
for jute bagging is being agitated
again, and the farmers Of the south
will do we'll to insist on the change.
There Is no reason why we should
send money to India for burlap at
whatever price. If we make nothing
out of the matter except to keep at
home the money that would otherwise
90 away for jute, the use of cotton
bagging would be profitable. There
would be more in it than this however.
Bagging sufficient to cover the south
ern cotton crop would necessarily con-
sumo enough cotton to have some Ell
feet on the price.

COLUMBIA correspondents call at
tention to the fact that although the
resolution under which the dispensary
committee was created,
provided that the proceedings Of the
committee shall be public, at least two
secret sessions have already been held.
We hope that there is some mistake
about this. Unless the committee
obeys the law itself, its labors will
command neither confidence or re-
spect.

The most daring robbery recorded
in the city's history was the sand
bagging of Mr.. w. L. Gowan and the
rifing of his pockets Of SIS by an
unknown thief last night about $3.50
o'clock on north Liberty street, about

burg dispatch Of Wednesday. Mr.. Gowan
had started home from his green gro
Gerry, 81 east Main street, for the
night, carrying In his large leather
purse three five dollar bills, along
with some express receipts and other
papers. He passed a pedestrian, a
tall man enveloped in a long black
overcoat, who appeared in the act of
tying his shoe string. Just as he
walked by Mr.. Gowan received blow
in the back of the head, which felled
him and rendered him unconscious,
during which time the highwayman
went through" his pockets. A little
negro boy reported to the police that
a man was lying dead on north Liber-
ty street, and when the officers ar
rived Mr.. Gowan had regained con-
sciousness, and was lying on the side
walk, with his head resting against

knot raised on his head, about the
base of the brain; but he was not
seriously injured. Further down the
street the purse, the papers and re-
ceipts were found, scattered about.
The police have been working on the
case but so far, there have been no
developments.
