HOLT THE FARMERS SHOULD VOTE FOR THE MAN WHO IS THEIR FRIEND. We were shown yesterday an article which can be seen at the store of Messrs. Barbee & Barbee, No. 305 South Wilmington St., this city, and which is to be used as a substitute for cotton bag ging. It is made by Hon. Thom as M. Holt at his, mill at Haw River, N. C, for the for the farm ers of North Carolina. The goods arc strong and durable and make a most excellent substitute for the jute bagging heretofore used ; and by the use of them and like substitutes our farmere will be enabled to throttle tlie monster known as the Cotton Bagging Trust," by means of which a few northern manufacturers are scek inrr to suck the life-blood out of our people. In the history of this country tnere has never been a more shameless attempt to ex tort the hard-eariicd money of mtr Southern farmers than the one this same "Cotton Baggin -Trust" is now engaged in. With out any just cause or reason but simply because they thought they had" the power the par ties etiaged in this nefarious un dertaking haye wantqnly and for the purpose of adding to their enormous wealth put up the price of cotton bagging from 50 to 75 per cent and at a season of the year when 'the cotton is in the held ready to be gathered, thereby adding to the expenses tf the farmer ot the South in the, marketing of their cotton crop at least the sum of $2,000,000. It therefore affords us great pleas ure to chronicle the fact that Col. Holt and the, rest of our North Carolina m a n u f a c t u r e rs h a ve come to the rescue of the agri cultural interest of our State, and have joined hand with it in its fight against this heartless Trust."

He is said to have pocketed something more than j hah a million dollars out ot the ; deal, tor a newspaper that for years has been run at a loss. When the truly good man got firmly planted on the tripod, he started, in to revolutionize the manner of conducting newspa pers. The most unique feature of his innovation has been a re production of the Bible on the installment plan, so that it is an everyday occurrence to see a Scripture passage sandwiched between a blood-curdling account of a prize-fight and the latest Republican invention of differen ces at Democratic Headquarters. The truly good man has all along, in a mild sort of way, de precated the use of money in elec tions, but it appears that the in fluence of the wicked Quay has at last swept away those scru ples. The town was startled yesterday at the announcement j that the deacon had lelt a check : for $10,000 for the Republican j National Committee, and one of j like amount for the Republican Countv Committee. For some unexplained reason, Warner Mil- ler and the State Committee were lelt out in the cold.

Ex-Senator Wallace, of Pennsylvania, also told about the excellent prospects of Democratic success in the north-western States from which he has just returned. Mr, Mills made another grand speech in Brooklyn the other night. It is "the third he has made here during the campaign, and it is not unlikely that he may be here again.
