A. W. I1I-GEN S., 11 J. .AGOOI , I -- EL\AS IEY, S. C., NOV. 2, 1881. MARKEl' QUOTATIONS We are glad that this su'hject lis been agitated.. We feel that its agitation will be of interest to all1 those citizens of the CouiIty, who have the opportuility of reading (eithel' the MEsseN&Eu or the "Sen t inlel. " Our e.steemied cont-empo rary in reply to the article onil "Our Market"-found in last week's issue 01 THE MESfEN GE-ss that it will prollise' to (10 hetter next tiie. We have noticed with plelasure that the % Wiutinel" quotes along with th' Charleston al GreInville imarkets those of Pick enlS and Easley . Such all in ser tion a; the "Sentinel" has made of the market-, evidently hos had the tendlency of gracing its coliilns. It gives new interest to olr readers, and may imlbue some of them with the Spiint of ho mie patroiage. If it, does that, it is well that the Col troversy has foumd its existciee. In arlwer to the questions which Wulr Ieiglnhor' has propoumlded, we would state in repjy, that from the assoned premises. :a coclusiol w\(111(1 be drawn that would -he a nvainst us. But such suppositions as the "'Sentineul" has made regar ding the advertising by the meIr clbanits. the aniount of cotton sold. and1(1 the trading done in G reeniville, does inot give thle merchants thei r d(le(s (ill e ('ne llandl and~ is t00 much( i exaggraJtedI on thne other. Pickens coiunty Inas no0w too papers In both of those papers. thne prini (ipal mech'lants Of Pickens, Lihwr ty and Easley have gone to the ex penJse of advecrtising. Thirnae have beeni brought before the pub1 - lie, and thle opportuniiiit ies they of: for' have beeun made knowun to oui cit izens. W ill not the "Sentinel' admit that sayiung four-fiftifs of th( c'otton goes to Greenville, is ex ag. gerating the limits too much ? . Jf i1 will take the trouble to look init the matter, we think itumight per woul be1 nealtlreir the correct limits. We wou1ld say ini conclusioni, thal if four-fifths of the cotton alnd trde go to Greenville, that thes< should he all tihe greater reasons why we should1( advocate our owr markets, and keep our trade at home, if we can offer almost equal advantages. Let us see to it Neighbor! THE FARMERS' MASS MEETING. This is the altogether inappro lpriate name assigned to a meetinri the.Coirt. It has attracted much at tention thoughout the State, and ha,4s1 beeln made the object of severe criticism by the press. We think it due the c 1itizens ofPickens Coun ty, who, Illd(eServiiglV, have beei charged, with Colmlulinisli, tha'it w 'e shoul state for their bene tit, their true positioll III regard to this imeetiing. III defence of the repltatioll of oir people, we take plasure ill saying that it waS not a Mass .Me.ting of the i'farners whenl we. cons-ider how manly therle aIre-h-1)t, that, the meeting was called by a few mcn, attelile(d by a limited 1111 ber, an hat oly a portion ot tiha-t nu mber favored its action. Perhaps not more than one--. ixth of the la rimers of Pickens Couinty w'eie ill attelidanice tipon that occasion ; 111(1 we (hi re sav, that many of those that were pres lit would not have been 1here. had it not been Court w eek.
