A Webster county Farmers Alliance meeting adopts resolutions condemning the A P L Warehouse and Compress Company of Americus for wrapping cotton in light fabrics. The note urges mutual boycott to fight the bagging trust while defending merchantable wraps and urging wider union among farmers. A rebuttal letter defends the warehouse’s position and warns against hasty action harming planters.
The article argues for using ordinary cotton cloth as bagging for cotton bales to undercut the bagging trust. It suggests 21 gauge cloth from local mills, reinforced with ties, costing 7 cents or less per yard, potentially 3 to 4 cents, and notes this could boost Southern cotton factory output and profits while keeping bale size and handling unchanged. It cites insurance and overseas buyers as receptive and credits tariff protection for bagging prices, urging tariff reform support.
The notice cites travelers and residents like John H. Jones of Tuttle Kentucky praising Dr Biggers Huckleberry Cordial for quick relief on first signs of digestive distress. It also notes political and commemorative items including a Columbia Convention vote and a Darwin house tablet in Edinburgh.
The Fort Wayne Sentinel notes the Georgia display as a standout feature with diverse soil products.

The exhibit is praised as worthwhile for admission.
