Wished Every Tuesday in voted to the cause of Ed COTTON MA" AFTER D The following is from the Columbia State of the 28th: "A thing ia worth what yoi can get for it in exchange." This is the fundamental principle of trade or commerce. An ounce of gold picked up by al child from the sands of a stream [ where it is playing is .vorth as much in the market aa an ounce of gold for which a miner bas toiled a whole year. A hat or a pair of shoeB In a mer chant's store, for which he can get SI, is worth to him, as merchandise, Jl, regardless ot whether lt coat bim 5 cents of fC. A pound of cotton for which I can ?et 7 cents In the markets, ls worth cenvs, regardless of whether that pound of cotton cost me G cents or j CO cents to produce. We hare a cotton crop estimated at about 16,000.000 bales, in 1914, prob ably the largest in the history of the industry. The demand for cotton, that ls the demand in Bight, ia probably smaller than any corresponding months in past ten years or more. The demand for next three or &ix months, or possibly ' 12 months, is problematical. What foundation 1B there for the assertion we often hear, "My cotton.1 is worth 10 cents per pound and I , will not take leas for lt?". , If I have no obligation against me , and I have ten bales of cotton in my , yard, it ts my business, no ono else's ' what I do with lt. 1, If I have Btored ten bales ot cot ton In a warehouse and borrowed , money on it from the bank to pay \ my obligations, thea it is my business i and the bank's only, what I do with , the cotton. j If I owe local merchants $200 for , goods they furnished me for thc com- ( fort and su s ten cc of myself and tam- , Hy, probably ever since first of tbe , year, and that merchant sold me thoBo j goods on the security of my honesty , and the hope of my raising a crop ot i cotton and paying him for the goods, . then that merchant has a Just and < equitable right in toe ten bales of cot- ( ton tn my yard; and, if I have any ; regard whatever for honesty and right , I will confider his interests or wishes j as well as my own tn disposition of t that cotton. * < I know of no part of the United States where merchnts arc more len lent or llboral in extension of credit ? to farmers than in the Southern cot- I ton belt. I believe that tho farmer with j a cortair amount of property or avail- [ able reBDurces, can secure a larger line of c edit in the South than in any part of .ho United States. In view of these facts, which I bell ive a careful Investigation will substantiate, can the farmer afford to ignore his obli gations to those whom ho owes In a I time Uko this? "Hold your cotton." "Hold your cotton." This ?las been the slogan for past four months. This has been mis interpreted. I think what was really Intended was, "Pay your debts and then hold your cotton!" il I agree with thq farmers or ga ni a- I ationo that ls ls well to store largo part of crop so lt san be marketed 11 gradually as demand develops. But a man to hold his crop tu de fiance of his Just obligations is con-i I Urary to every principle of economy,! business, prudence, right or reason. " Credit," which plays so Important part In modern business, is founded on "confidence," that contracta will be kept or obligations met promptly. When confidence Is destroyed busi ness must atop for readjustment. The farmers and consumers of South Carolina are destroying the confidence that the merchants have '?cen placing in them, and are doing nothing lesa than forcing the mer chant to do business on a cash basia, and those farmers who' seem to have so little regard for their obligations will almost certainly find that their credit with the merchants next year will be naught. The customer can no more do with out the merchant thsn the merchant can do without the consumer. Each ls squally essential to the otherft It ls equally essential that each should cooperate with the other for mutual j sood. There is no doubt there has been! too much credit business done in tho j South for the best interest of all. Fae farmer should make an effort tel raise such products that, there will t>e so income throughout the year, in-1 itcad of all at one time..

Whether or not wo approve of the I Wiley of the German government pre- j ?ding the present war, we mast ad nire ono thing in the German people, be manner In which every element >f the country cooperated, each one ihoulderlng a part o ftho barden in lack a manner aa to mske a united Jerman nation, which has probably uttered least disturbance to internal ommerce and relations. Now let ns remove the ''floral of erings" from the "casket" and- look | t the Tace" ot the facts. The next six to nine months will be j , critical tims when every one must] boulder hts part of the barden.

If the farmer or con lumer will cooperate with others, In stead of trying to stand aime, the South will emerge from present Tis is, with all Industries on a much stronger, firmer basis than ever. But, if Mr. Farmer can not afford to nell cotton for less than 10 cents per pound, or store it and borrow money to pay bis obligations in 1914, Mr. Merchant may feel a sincere sor row to Bee hlB former patrons fo hun gry or in need of supplies, but for the sake of his own wife and children lt may be he can't afford to again risk extending his a line of credit in 1015. W. A. KANOOR. Columbia. MARKET REPORT New York Cotton NEW YORK.

There ap peared to be very little cottou for laic, and the failure of the advance Lo attract hedge rolling from south- j int sources, doubtless contributed to tho confidence of buyers. The steadi ness of tho stock markot and reports ! ti an Improving business In the steel market also were factors in the ad rante.
