Anderson Mail, January 22.The following is a copy of a letter sent to Theo. H. Price, the great Wall street cotton bear of New York, in answer to his circulars now being sent to the farmers all over the cotton belt. A number of his circulars have been re! ceived by Anderson county farmers: Theodore H. Price, 71 Wall street, New York city?Sir: Your great scarecrow in the shape of a circular, giving ' your estimate of a 13,500,000 bale cotton crop, together with photographs of large fields of open cotton, as they were supposed to have appeared the 8th of December, are now being received by our farmers.\ And now, when you remember that we Southern farmers are accustomed to placing the image of the devil in our watermelon patches to keep away the negroes and crows, we trust you will not be surprised to find your effort to scare the Southern farmer into selling liis cotton below the cost of production, that you Wail street gamblers and money sharks may gobble up millions of dollars of his honest toil and labor, is absolutely a dismal failure. However, we hope you will continue to send out your circulars; this we term missionary work. But allow us to suggest that you be more careful and be sure tliat you send them to real live men, as the one we got hold of was addressed to a man who ' ,-1 mtArif TVbArO pasxu IV liir glUil' UIU1V/ I'lIUU five years ago. Still, if you should desire to continue sending your great budget of cotton information to the dead, address a few of them to your Bear friends in purgatory; perhaps they would be glad to hear from you. Yes, old fellow, in sending out your circulars it clinches the fact with us that we are getting you old* 'grizzlys" into a devil of a close place; in other words, we've got you between us and the powder house, and rest assured that we are never going to hold np till we get you close enough to ignite that fur of yours and blow you into an eternal froth. The farmers of the South have risen in their might and are standing shoulder to shoulder in a determination to forever annihilate the power of you Wall street speculators, who have made your millions by squeezing the very life out of the great money crop of our fair Southland. For years and years have you non-producers of the necessaries of life set your trap to catch the unwary farmer, but rest assured that your days are numbered. Education lias put us on to your damnable schemes and concert of action lias placed ns in a position to figlit yon, and in this fight we'll win or die. And now, old gobbler of the products of honest toil, to your estimation of a | 13,500,000 bale crop, that is only guess work. You know nothing more about the size of this crop than we do, and a monkey knows as much about it as cither of US". And now, as we Southern fanners believe in giving the devil his dues, we are forced to admit that you uttered one truth in your circular, viz: That there ic crmn ot-.Viirur kiy million of cotton still in the fanners' hands, and that this cotton was made to sell and will be put on the marketYes, sir, Theodore, this cotton is in the fanners' hands, and is for sale; but when you and the other "Wall street gamblers get it for less than remunerative prices, the StaTC of Florida will lie covered in a fifteen inch snow on the loth day of August, and there will be ' nigger*' wool growing in the palm of your liand. This section of the South is able to carry every bale of her cotton into the next crop, and we believe this is true of all other sections, and should we have this to do, when we get tlirough cutting the acreage for this ye&r, if you arc so unfortunate as to be on the "bear" side of the market at the end of 1 **)."?, you will be d 11 glad to get our two million bale surplus at any old price. In conclusion, allow ns to again thank you for your missionary work. Just j send 011 your circulars; we'll distribute j them among some of the cotton mill j men here, who are borrowing cotton [ from other mills in order to keep ran- j ning till some is offered for sale. They } perhaps might serve as a narcotic that would give them restful nights. W. L. Casey. Secretary Five Forks Union, No. J. of the F. E. C. U. of A.. Anderson. S. C., R. F. D. No. 2.

The result of all this is that the planters are having to curtail their crops, laborers leaving, and enormous stretches of fields which cost thousands upon thousands of dollars to reclaim from the sea. bid fair to be left desolate, We hope the investigation thus ensured by Mr. Levers' efforts will be able to save rice planting for this State, but more especially to find some profitable substitute for rice growing. Fraud Exposed. A few counterfeiters have lately been making and trying to sell imitations of Dr. King's New Discovery for consumption, couglis and colds, and other medicines, thereby defrauding the public. This is to warn you to beware of such people, who seek to profit, through stealing the reputation of remedies wliich liave been successfully curing disease for over 35 years. A sure protection to you, is our name on the wrap.. per. Look for it on all Dr. King's,' or Bucklen's remedies, as all others are mere imitations. H. E.

The soothing and healing properties of this remedy, its pleasant taste and prompt and permanent cares have made it a favorite with people everywhere. It is especially prized by mothers of small children, for colds, croup and whooping cough, as it always affords quick relief, and as it contains no opium or other harmful drug, it may be given as confidently to a baby as to an adult.

The Spartanburg Journal gives a statement of the product of a small farm near that growing city. It says: On a small farm owned by J. Q. Davis of this city, out on the new cut road about four miles north west of town, 12 acres produced 12 bales of cotton. 2.1 acees of this field was cultivated by Mr. Davis personally, from which lie gathered three full bales, and 40:3 pounds seed cotton. On two acres of land, Mr. Davis harvested last Jnnt :}0.1 bushels of line wheat worth ?30.00, then laid the field off and planted it in corn from which lie gathered in \fivMnhpr ?."i measured bushels. worth 75 cents a bushel??54.20.

Mr. Davis has used all his cotton seed i each year, putting them back on the I land into stabh manure and acid. Ten i years ago this same land was poor, and would not have produced one-fourth of a hale of cotton the acre. The land is a part, of the old Davis homestead and is not for sale.
