Brice Gives Some Impressions of Mr. Jordan's Speech and the Work -of the 5onthern Cotton Association.. Mr. Editor: I had the pleasure >f hearing Hon. Harvie Jordan's peech in Chester on the 5th inst., ind I wish every farmer in Fair ield could have heard him. There ere a good many of our Fair ield people preseut, but not many is I hoped to see. The opera louse was well filled and a good many had to stand up. As on orator he is not the equal >f Mr. E. 1). Simith, but his speech .vas brim full of facts and figures )u the cotton question, and he ertaiuly is thoroughly posted in a regard both to the productive tnd consumptive of cotton. He spok;e for an hour and a Iuarter, devoting most of :his 'me to an explanation of the Vold's consumption of cotton Lnd the available supply, and also 11e proper marketing of our taple. He proved by figures, which h aid the mill men did not deny. hat the Fall River mills could av 15c. for cotton at the present )rice of their product and ac ually make a larger profit than vben they were buying cotton at ic. He says the mills can and vill take the remainder of this :rop at 15c., if the spot holders ill just hold fast a little longer. Some of the cotton brokers of gew York are already sending ut preliminary estimates of an nereise in azerage for the pres nt seasou of from 5 to 10 per ent, and they are using this to )reak the- market. Mr. Jordan rged the farmers to reduce the Lcreage and keep the production ven with or below consumption nd to plant largely of food-sup )ly crops, telling them that or anization was a good thing and iecessary to their welfare, but hat a self-supporting farm was he only foundation upon which o build sure and lasting pros >eritv, and without that no or :anization could keep them from inal ruin. He said that those who tried when they owned slaves and could nake them work, to grow cotton :o the neglect of food crops, had o sell a slave or two each year :o make ends meet, and a gentle nan in the audience spoke out nd said, "Yes, I know that to be rue," and, Mr. Jordan continued, f they couldn't do it then, you ertainly can't do it now. Spealiing of how the bankers >. the South ought to help the armers in their fight (he says hey have come up to the help f the association very likerally), i said, when a banker saw a armer selling his cotton for less han its value, he ought to tell rm that his vaults were open to uim and he would help him hold hat cotton until he could get its -alue, and the audience cheered im lustily. That was the kind >f doctrine they love; but when e told them that the very best acking they could get to hold heir cotton for far prices was a ull corn erib andl smaie house on heir own farm, there wasn't any hieering. Tb it is a doctrine he are not cuthusiastie over, -ou&ean hoar it prl'ed all over he South from D~su even unto 3eershebia, and by all c!asses and nditions, but there are so ferw hat oractice it. A great mnany people thiuk that Lr. Jordan is not c:>nservative nough and is inclined to force iees too high, but after seeirg nd hearing himn I am mere than ,ver convinced that in him we av a safe sure and conservative cader; and1 thait, if We will but allow his advice we will soo4 be udependant of the be'irs, and ou~r southland will bloom as the rose. The S. C. A. has come to stay nd is destined to be the salva ;ion of the Saathern farmer; but *ight now in the most critical eriod of its existance, and Ath9e it is to become rapidly stronger~ anid mo~ beneticial, or :o be erippled and the posparity f the fitriers set back, maybe for ears, depends on the action of h farmers for the ne:xt sixty Mr. Jordan expects to speek in avery one of the cotton states in Whe us:;t si weeks andl is urging te reduction d~ geae He told the farmners that if they made a big erop now that the price would be bo)und to go down and tle v woul.l be the oue's :o suffer NLit will the farmers of old Fairfield do in this em rgency?

Cau you, as secretary, giv us an accout of it? Isn't it time to come out of winter quarters? I would like to see the county thorughly organized and I think there are a great many others, who feel tho same way. Fairfield is not usually a ]aggard in any good cause; so, brotber farmers, let's get togetber and do our share in the gooa work. J. L. Brice. Letter to W. R. Rabb & Co. Winnsboro, S. C.

A teacher in a certain Sunday school had been inpressng on her girls the need of making some personal sacrifice during Lent. Accordingly, on the first Sunday, of the penitential season, which happened to be a warm sprine day, she took occasion to ask each of the class, in turn, what she had given up for the sake of her rAigion. Everything went well, and the answers were prov ing highly satisfactory, until she came to the yongest member. "Well Mary," inquired the teach er, "what have you .left off for Lent?"
