( Mr. Editor: The unprecedented "low I rice" of the cotton product obtained, has ^ Ken inadequate In liquidating obligations, . nd the (arming class are puzzled to deter- ' uue what method ot farmtug to pursue id 1 le approaching crop year. Much specula- | oil is enduiged In. Mauy emt>arressiiient? , uum up In ugly array, creditors have not 1 een able to cancel their manifold lndulgeii- t _*s und are not satisfied sufficient toencuur- [ them to risk additional advauces. Comlerclal fertilisers, which has become lu this * tale an lndlspenslhie necessity in raising t ie tleecy staple, have not ueeu reduced to j lai extent to Justify farmers to use them in using cotton at the preseut price. 1 Credit system has been so ignored lu pay ' lent, is commanding a high premium, ( :arceiy obtainable. Liens and lltne price* " ave uinioHL become a "thing" ol the past oreas recently In ills chilly and icy exuaiLions bad capped the climax, made a cornicle navoc o( lite oat. cereal aud likely given le wheat prospect a "black eye." The cry Is. 0 more oat seed on hand, no money or cred, to obtain them; continuous rain and severy ol the weather is causing rations to "hide ut" without any equivalent of larm work 1 progress! the outlook is extremely porteu:ous. fne question might be mooted are the revaliing calamities providential judglenlc, or fiery ordeals to bring about some nforeseen glorious event? so mole it be. hr-y are certainly causing a beavy and ease gloom of despondency to hover over :ie horl/ou ot the farmer's agricultural sky. In every nook aud corner "hard times," lal terrible demon, as u were, preying upon ur vitals, are discussed threadbare, lines ions are propounded iu many wuys, VVbai Mil become of us? What are wh going to do >r a living? How are we going to get monei ;> p*y dei-ts? How can we make a crop withut supplies, etc. Such prolusion of luterorftlvesare audible dally In every collection f the tillersof the soil. Life Is too short to ndulge in such an outburst 01 lnterminaoie mount of nonsensical tomfoolery. Solution of the above questions apparrenty. Is more iutrleate an enigmatical than the lU/.Zling race problem that perplexed the overmeiilMI political official aspirants. Tile iTiter, a little touched with presumpllou, I'ill give vent to a thought In an Interrogaory style. Are the farmers, the backbone I all professtoual pursuits, still adhering to he slender thread of expectaucy of realizing t an early day some relief in legislation 1 rom the "powers that be" in Congress in the hape of remoniilzed silver(bi-mnialisui) reustatiug the sliver metal (bone of contention) m par with gold, thereby, inflating the volime of money circulation and enhancing the >alue of mother earth's products such proll'erd or contemplated relief lam apprehensive, .re not In the near future! you are certainly eaulng oa a "broKeu stick'' in expecilngany olace orcouilurtfrom that quarter. Despair as long ago usurped the last-ventage of my nward aLtlcapaiiou of ever enjoying any 'o.ilm of Gilead" from that source. Are you mbued with the hope that the cotton growers protective association and countv eonrentlon will accomplish much needed good iy discussing varl >us measures and adopt ug resolutions descriptive o( what Is best o do to avert Impending baukruotcy? If rou entertain such a hope, I'll venture to asert, sore dlsappoliumeut will be your inevlable. I have no ambition of an ominous chnracer to reproach or to tiirow m damper upou iuch intelligent and well meaning assemblies, ml I cannot well resist. In saying lb?*y are iot worth a''continental." so tospeak;they :>ilcuiated to afford rather a stimulus to an ncreased cotton acre-tge, than a curtiilltneni. L'he oresu in pilous writer is In possession >f the opinion that- the whole secret or the lilllculty is encased in a nut shell. To wit, ibe farmers with an indoiriitnhle will must lepoud upon their own resources and work jut their own salvation by strokes of individual energy. Doubtless each one in the mst year has learned a practical lesson that it would be a suicidal policy to persist in -aislng -'big cotton crops" and will expend much thought and labor in the present year 11 raising supplies for table and stock consumption, such acou sc will necessarily reluce cotton acreage. The writer will assume io tuake a suggestion not in the shape of a resolution, however^ltisignltlcaut it may appear. Let every fanner with a fixed determination, with a heart for every late, sink or iwlin, survive or perish, start out the present year with the most rigid acotiomy and make ioubie increased efforts In producing diversified crops to appease the huugerof man and ueast, and work as hejpleases on the Intensive system, (lew acres hlghiy fertilized) and well iMiliivated. Such an agricultural career pushL-d. "hard times" would soon be a nouenlty ind live ceut cotton be robbed of lis terrors. o. l\ II. Go to Kykard's for spectacles. C. P.

The above nassanewe frequently hear quoted in public prayer or testimony, evidently as a thanksgiving lor temporal bless ings. The text in question may admit of such a construction ; but tht richer, fuller, more glorious meaninp is only apprehended in the light of the preceding verse: "The Lord is the portion of mine inheritance and of m.v cup: Thou maintained my lot." Verily we have a heritage which enables us to rise above circumstance and environment; therefore we maj continue to *ing with the psalmist: "He is at 1113' right hand, I shall not be moved."?M. S. K.
