Speakers go about the country assailing the farmer because he sells bis cotton?and because he has sold. It is asserted that a rush of the market caused the decline. For this the farmer is abused; but, In our opinion, the abuse is no just. The season opened with cotton bringing a fair price?around 33 cents?and where is the farmer who was foolish enbugh not to sell at that price? Good judgment demanded that he sell, as recent events have proven. Who is foolish enough to blame the farmers who sold at 13 cents? Had the farmer not sold as fast as the crop was gathered where would he be now with his entire crop on hand and the price below 10 cents? On every hadd the demagogue raises his voice against the cotton mill owr. era for organizing, declaring that the merger has been formed for the purpose of putting the price of cotton down. We don't believe it; we don't beheve that there is a single cotton mill president in the State who wants the price of cotton to go to a figure where the farmer is bound to lose money. On the other hand, we believe that the merger people would briad to see the price of cotton remain up. Again, it i9 asserted that the merger means t-o work a hardship on the cotton mill laborers. We don't believe that any such intent has evei entered into the minds of those who have combined together. The whole troth of the ma.ter is, a> it appears to us, the country is ja3t iu a bad condi^ tion; there seeros to be an over-prodnction of cofton and, naturally, the price had to go do wn. The hope oi the fanners?and the sensible thing for them to do?is to raise as many ot the home supplies at home as possible, ki cotton be a s urplus crop, and the conditions will adjust themselves. * 4; ' ** ^ Oar cr^ authorities might "make some improvements on our streets. there certainly would not be any kick comine if thev did: for never havt they been in a more wretched condiikuo.
