Price's Scarecrow.
Anderson Mail, January 22.The
following is a copy of a letter
sent to Theo. H. Price, the great Wall
street cotton bear of New York, in answer
to his circulars now being sent to
the farmers all over the cotton belt. A
number of his circulars have been re!
ceived by Anderson county farmers:
Theodore H. Price, 71 Wall street,
New York city?Sir: Your great scarecrow
in the shape of a circular, giving
' your estimate of a 13,500,000 bale cotton
crop, together with photographs of large
fields of open cotton, as they were supposed
to have appeared the 8th of December,
are now being received by our
farmers.\ And now, when you remember
that we Southern farmers are accustomed
to placing the image of the devil in
our watermelon patches to keep away
the negroes and crows, we trust you will
not be surprised to find your effort to
scare the Southern farmer into selling
liis cotton below the cost of production,
that you Wail street gamblers and money
sharks may gobble up millions of dollars
of his honest toil and labor, is absolutely
a dismal failure. However, we hope
you will continue to send out your circulars;
this we term missionary work.
But allow us to suggest that you be
more careful and be sure tliat you send
them to real live men, as the one we got
hold of was addressed to a man who
' ,-1 mtArif TVbArO
pasxu IV liir glUil' UIU1V/ I'lIUU
five years ago.
Still, if you should desire to continue
sending your great budget of cotton information
to the dead, address a few of
them to your Bear friends in purgatory;
perhaps they would be glad to hear from
you. Yes, old fellow, in sending out
your circulars it clinches the fact with
us that we are getting you old* 'grizzlys"
into a devil of a close place; in other
words, we've got you between us and
the powder house, and rest assured that
we are never going to hold np till we get
you close enough to ignite that fur of
yours and blow you into an eternal froth.
The farmers of the South have risen
in their might and are standing shoulder
to shoulder in a determination to forever
annihilate the power of you Wall street
speculators, who have made your millions
by squeezing the very life out of
the great money crop of our fair Southland.
For years and years have you
non-producers of the necessaries of life
set your trap to catch the unwary farmer,
but rest assured that your days are
numbered. Education lias put us on to
your damnable schemes and concert of
action lias placed ns in a position to figlit
yon, and in this fight we'll win or die.
And now, old gobbler of the products
of honest toil, to your estimation of a
| 13,500,000 bale crop, that is only guess
work. You know nothing more about
the size of this crop than we do, and a
monkey knows as much about it as cither
of US".
And now, as we Southern fanners believe
in giving the devil his dues, we are
forced to admit that you uttered one
truth in your circular, viz: That there
ic crmn ot-.Viirur kiy million of
cotton still in the fanners' hands, and
that this cotton was made to sell and
will be put on the marketYes,
sir, Theodore, this cotton is in
the fanners' hands, and is for sale; but
when you and the other "Wall street
gamblers get it for less than remunerative
prices, the StaTC of Florida will lie
covered in a fifteen inch snow on the
loth day of August, and there will be
' nigger*' wool growing in the palm of
your liand.
This section of the South is able to
carry every bale of her cotton into the
next crop, and we believe this is true of
all other sections, and should we have
this to do, when we get tlirough cutting
the acreage for this ye&r, if you arc so
unfortunate as to be on the "bear" side
of the market at the end of 1 **)."?, you
will be d 11 glad to get our two million
bale surplus at any old price.
In conclusion, allow ns to again thank
you for your missionary work. Just j
send 011 your circulars; we'll distribute j
them among some of the cotton mill j
men here, who are borrowing cotton [
from other mills in order to keep ran- j
ning till some is offered for sale. They }
perhaps might serve as a narcotic that
would give them restful nights.

The result of all this is that the planters

We hope the investigation thus ensured
by Mr. Levers' efforts will be
able to save rice planting for this State,

Fraud Exposed.
A few counterfeiters have lately been
making and trying to sell imitations of
Dr. King's New Discovery for consumption,
couglis and colds, and other medicines,
thereby defrauding the public.

people, who seek to profit, through
stealing the reputation of remedies
wliich liave been successfully curing
disease for over 35 years. A sure protection
to you, is our name on the wrap..

Bucklen's remedies, as all others are
mere imitations. H. E. BUCKLEN &

Chamberlain's Cough Remedy
the Mother's Favorite.
The soothing and healing properties
of this remedy, its pleasant taste and
prompt and permanent cares have made
it a favorite with people everywhere.
It is especially prized by mothers of
small children, for colds, croup and
whooping cough, as it always affords
quick relief, and as it contains no opium
or other harmful drug, it may be given
as confidently to a baby as to an adult.

Highly Successful Farming.
The Spartanburg Journal gives a
statement of the product of a small
farm near that growing city. It says:
On a small farm owned by J. Q. Davis
of this city, out on the new cut road
about four miles north west of town, 12
acres produced 12 bales of cotton. 2.1
acees of this field was cultivated by
Mr. Davis personally, from which lie
gathered three full bales, and 40:3 pounds
seed cotton.
On two acres of land, Mr. Davis harvested
last Jnnt :}0.1 bushels of line wheat
worth ?30.00, then laid the field off and
planted it in corn from which lie gathered
in \fivMnhpr ?."i measured bushels.
worth 75 cents a bushel??54.20. Cotton.
worth ?408. s?ed?worth ?55.00. To al
$>48.70. besides 1 he fodder and shucks
from the fourteen aor< s.
Mr. Davis has used all his cotton seed i
each year, putting them back on the I
land into stabh manure and acid. Ten i
years ago this same land was poor, and
would not have produced one-fourth of a
hale of cotton the acre. The land is a
part, of the old Davis homestead and is
not for sale.
This is an actual proof of what the
Spartanburg "jMior land" section will do
under intelligent common sense treatment,
and shows the wonderful possihi- !
lities of Spartanburg soil and farming, j
