HARVIE JORDAN AT CHESTnR,
flr. 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

told the farmners that if they made
a big erop now that the price
would be bo)und to go down and

NLit will the farmers of old
Fairfield do in this em rgency?

Wat has become of the Fair
field divieion of the S. C. A , Mr.
Eiitor? 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.

In Lent.
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?"
"Please, Ma'am"' stammered
the child, somewhat confused,
"I-Tve left off my leggin's.-H,
