Whether this is wise or not, it remains to be seen. The effect of it will be the plant ing of less cotton, leading per haps to a greater diversification of crops, and the benefiting of the large planters by forcing the tenant class to become hirelings. On the one hand, the acreage of cotton being reduced, its price will lincrease, thus benefiting principally those who can con duct their planting operations on a cash basis or its equivalent; and, on the other hand, it will free the small farmer from the necessity of having to plant cot ton almost exclusivelio in order to meet his indebtdness to the merchant, and at. he same time compell him t9raise his own home suppligb, which in the long run W1l be a good thing for l s its putting hinr on a basis. But for those who t land, whites and blacks, repeal of the law is going to k a hardship. They will be orced to work for the land owners or else leave the state. Unable to give a lien that is valid in law, the only basis up on which they con Id heretofore obtlin cr"?. ib will be left without kleaawith which tq rim a farm. :Tie&ore, they will bo compele4Freturn to aelanid datsy laborers or as inants farmers for -the rich mdlords. This of course, will a good thing for the la~4 ers, but we are not ntg ' to prov ners, They -will-no longerie independent d the landlord. No doubt the repeal of the lien law will solve in large measure the question of labor in the country. There will be plenty of it, for renters will become la borers, and large planters, un like it has been, will be able to get all they want. Possibly this was the main reason for the re peal of the law, and, if so, it savors of class legislation. It must not be supposed from Th' above that we favor the lien law. We have simply pointed out the advantages of its repeal to one class and its disadvant ages to another class. If there had never been a lien law the state would be in much worse condition today than it is, and the people would be more pros perous. But inasmuch as such a law was enacted, believed to be necessary at the time, and has been in force for over a quarter of a century, its repeal now without any sort of ease ment, is going to work a great hardship on some, while it will be of immense help to others. Its repeal should have been gradual, or in such way as would not have brought distress all at once upon so many. We believe it ought to have been re pealed, but not just in the way it was done.-Columbia Record. A Doctor's Aledicmze Ayer's Cherry Pectoral is not a simple cough syrup.

Letter to cotol ir0wers To the Cotton Growers: A year ago I strongly urged you to reduce the acreage in cotton and grow more feed stuff. It seems from the acre age and in some sections a small increase was shown. The re sult has been about as I predict ed, the lowest prices we have had for several years. It now' looks as if the crop will bring around $550,000,000, or ovei $50,000,000 less than last year's crop, which was nearly 2,000, 000 bales smaller and taking thE cost of growing the extra 2,000, 000 bales it means a loss to thE South of over $100,000,000. The time has arrived when you must decide on the acreagE for this season. I strongly urge you to reduce your acreage in cotton at least 10 per cent, an( raise more grain and hay, sc you will be more independeni at marketing time. When the spinner is assured there i4 enough cotton grown to supply his needs he is very independeni and will only buy at cheaf prices. With a possiblity of c shortage he is a very eager buy er. While the consumption foi the first half of the cotton yeai ending March 1 will likely be f little less than half the crop. the consumption the last hall will be very much larger, so tha1 we will likely have about the same visible supply that we hat last season, so that we shouk raise next year at least 1,000, 000 bales less than the consump ilon in order to get good price, for it. Now 'don't think that ever) one else will reduce and you car plant more and get a big price for that is what too many oi you did last season. It wil take a uniform reduction in or der to get the proper results You should only plani enough so that with the mos1 favorable conditions the croj would not exceed 12,500,000 ani then if wete . -u get more money for it tha if you raised 12,500,000. I hope every merchant readin this article will call his farm( customers' attention to it an urg the reduction. It is the e> tra hundred million dollars t~h cotton crop brings that make trade good through the Sout} I suggest that meetings be hel in every school house on Marc] 7, so that uniformity of actio: may be taken.
