WKDNBSDAY, JTJNB 4. Captain, T?iman and the We observe that our usually level headed friend Col. Y. J. Pope, of New berry, in a recently printed interview, j, has a good deal to say of "agricultural depression" and id that respect follo.ws the example of many other gentlemen who have given their opinions to* the public. This caters to the natural tendency of human nature to find a melancholy sat isfaction m regarding itself as the vic tim of persecution. ^Itie-likewise grate te** number of people who or- bad manage ment have jjrosper and who are well any course of re as o ni n g that removes the responsibility for their tronjbles from their own shoulders-and lays it upon somebody else. A3 a mat ter of cold, hard faot, however, there is in this part of the country no "agri cultural depression." The farmers ap pear to us to be full of life and strength find hope. 'They are well clad.and well fed and generally pay their bills prompt ly^JSone of jthem lack the^necessaries of TSfi* and many et &n> bave good supplies of ita, oomforts. Very few of them are as well off as they would like to SeJ/hbt that remark applies to every ?their profession anlf occupation; -There are all over the world men and^woaien with incomes from ten thousand to one hundred thousand dollars a year who feel poor and are frequently unhappy because they wish for more than they have and would like to Own thiugs they cannot get. We do not wish farmers, or anybody else, to be satisfied. When people be come satisfied with what they have done they quit and become useless to .the] vorld. Reforms are all broagiit'aboui j by dissatisfied people. We would like to see farmers continue working in their fields and in meetings and voting at the polls to* make their condition . better than it is, but nobody ought to try to make them tx "".eve that their con dition is so desperate that desperate and revolutionary measures are necessary t? ain-ad it. g&very-intelligent farmer knows that "th? conditton of his class is better now than it has been in fifty years. ? good crop has been made and sold at profita ble prices ; goods are cheaper ?ban ever before ; money is cheaper ; lands are higher; stock is in good condition; debts are less. The changes he needs in -political matters in the. State are reductions of .taxationy improvement pi public school facilities and chaug.es to thv, ken and' homestead laws and it is to those things he should direct his attention. Men and names are of do particular value to h im. It does not matter a ra p. ^Iiirtf whether. =?en Tillman or John-r son Hagood or anybody etse is Govern or. What he is interested in is what the man who asks his vote for Gov erne ?anhand w??Hdo and that is the poiat to which he should keep his at tention glued during this campaign. As a sensible man he should not run blindly off after a man he knows noth ing of and join a whoop and hurrah. As ^citizen and a tax payer it is his duty ?00w that his vote will go for the who- will use his power intelli to meet the. needs of ! the State f$e<?>le? tab Tillman. is running on a re fa*, we da:.aot^e ?a]I bet one practical reform he has proposed. He has told the public much of what he thinks is done that is wrong, bat he has told verv liule of what he thinks ought to be done that is "better, \. Fie has a plan; for .using Xhe tag tax for the good of ^he^Olemson Ootlege: Tbt.t Is right so far as it goes. He has not indicated how a mill or a half mill can be taken from tie-State taxes. lie has given no hint of now county ises and taxation are to be reduced a'^coastit?tioDal convention Ois convention but he has not told changes he thinks should be made in the constitution. fie has expressed an idea for the im provement joS the public schools, which may: or;may -jfoi - work successfully, which it is the duty of citizens to look closely before endorsing. He has told nothing of Iiis position 00 the lien or homestead laws?which are of vital and far reaching importance and in which every farmer is interested. fie should be required to define bis position on a!! these matters during the campaign. He should not be al' wed to go to Columbia entrusted with power to recommend and vote on a platform of what somebody eise has done wrong or le*? undone and of the persecutions and rpoverty of the farmer. fi. What the people should make him . tell is what he intends to do and thinks ought to be done in the State to make their condition better (ban it is. Federal politics, the tariff and sub fcreasury scheme, bave nothing to do with his candidacy ?Greenville Neics. A Talk With a Mill-Builder. A mill-builder, who bas built up an immense but- -sin the.?Manufacture of agricultural machinery, bas devoted some years to building cotroti-oi? mills; aod iff a pioneer io the co operative mi!i business. *WThen the oil mills first began buai nes8,*, s?id he. "they paid ?2.50 a t?v? for seed, and claimed that was ail they were worth. The profits of the busi ness were phenomenal. When t ne trust got hold oftbe busioess tbey drove the small mills to tbe wall by putting up ?he price of seed more than tbey could pay. That put tlfcr local mills in bankruptcy, and tbey were bought by the treat. That process went on all over the county, and I got caught in a $60.000 mill indexas. Then I set to work to meet them,, and itbe co-operative I mills were organized, the farmers tak ing stock with their local merchants. That met the emergency. The co operative mills have the advantage of the large ones, for the farmer who owns them is the producer, and you eah't corner seed on a producer. If the trust put op the price of seed <till - there was to profit in oil,-the co operative mill J fimply sold seed at a high price j What's the use of -making oil, if you ran get more for seed than you can work out of it in #? *'That was demonstrated at Hogans ?ille. The trust built a warehouse be tide the co-operative m HI there, and l egao to hoy. They, pat up seed from ! reii douars 'to sutccn dotlars. The mill made a show of "Vanning, bat its owners sold seed faster than they ground. The manager sold six cat loads to the trust at five dollars a ton advance, making ?600 on the lot. "That is the chief advantage. There are;others in the local mills. They get seed without paying "freight, and they lose nothing in quality by storage. One of the largest refiners in the eouu-. try -wrote me asking why my machinery made better oil than the rest. *i wrote him it was not due to the machinery, \ to fee feet that the small; mills I had bafit gox^seed fresh and worked it up. When seed are stored in bulk, as in the large mills, their .quality depre ciates from heating and other causes* I have known large mases to rot. The qualify of the oil is affected, and that is the reason why the co-operative mills make the besVe??. **Tne small mills have nothing to fear from the larger ones They can not corner the market on oil. It is as staple as-the lint It is an adulterant, I and "its price is secondary to and depeu j dent upon the articles it is mixed with. This season, for instance, the unusual ly large hog crop makes lard staffs cheap, and that depresses cotton-seed oil. Such a hog crop is not likely to come every year, and its depressing ?ffeot on cotton-seed oil.^eill not. be?-felt every year. Therefore," t look, for. an improvement in the price of cil. Its real value is thirty cents a gallon, and it wilt bring that when there is net an j unusual -disturbing influence ftke the | present .hog crop. "The American Oil Trust was patterned after the Standard Oil Com-fj pany. There>-is.vwhere -they >taade their mistake. There is bat a ~sajall ?r?gion ! 'where1 petroJen in is produced. "Having \ got th ivt the Standard Oil Company had the monopoly secure. But cotton-seed is produced in an immense area and it was too big an undertaking to corner it The advance in seed tas broken the trust in two. They had to reduce j their capitalization from forty millions to twenty millions. **I think when farmers-organize a co- j operative mill they should take in their' ] local merchants with them. They need j business men for buying and selling and looking after inarms, exchanges and freights. ^Farmers know nothing about that as ? a rule.-and .it-iis^well for them to take advantage of the business man's training/ .Manufacturing has a merchandise feature and the skill of the merchant is necessary. "There is -nothing in the -claim about patented things that were used j years. ago. . The main thing with the co-operative plan is that the farmer is the producer of seed and he can either sell or manufacture it as occasion re quires. <4This year I have built a twenty-ton I co-operative mill, owned by farmers a'f^f Miliedgeviile, with a one hundred ton fertilizer factory; -also a twenty too co-operative mill at 'Monroe, a thirty-i ton co-operative mill at Madison, en larged a mill at' Social Circle for John M. Green to forty tons capacity, built a twenty-ton co-operative mill and fifty baler ginnery atLocust. Grove^ and en larged a mill at Thomasvfr?e. ^Includ ing the buildings, that represents an investment of about $1,000 per ton, Or $130,000 that went into oil mills in Georgia'this year. I built three times that many in North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee and Louisiana." THE CONCLUSION OF THE MATTER. '"From all ; this discussion it appears that tbe farmers otGeorgia have put up. *he larger;part of $130,000. this year to sget ?iie&est, Jesuits ^fr?? x?outo% seed, and that those of Georgia and a few neighboring States have staked an in vestment of-near a half million on this farm product, which a few years agoj tbey considered almost a..trifle. The importa?t^f?ct developetd is that the formers have nothing to fear from the oiHrCft, and cae: safely ?o&profir-a bly manufacture their own seed and gain .the .additional advantage of em-' ploying labor "that has been, elsewhere employed, thus putting money, in their locai centers which has heretofore gone to the cities where the manufacture of all was carried on before. ^The build-r ing up of their borne.-markets is one ot itebest features of ihe^jbusioess, and. lee feeding ofcattle as suggested opens up new possibilities to the South as a beef growing country.?Atlanta Con stitution.
