Mr. Ilsrlong has the reputation of being a ?? ittimrmmiiajt and instructive lecturer, aud as the temperanco question is likely to dc mi i'.nporiani one berorc the next session of the legislature, all who can should heur Mr. Hctlong's arguments upon it. Readers, did you ever have one of thee g od old-fashioned jumping to t Inches, ( irhen yon hoped aod almost expected every j econd the pesky thing would jump out of i s so k-1. A toothache that wouldn't allow either yourself, your wife or your children, if pou hare suoh blessings, any rest, day or n ght ; a toothache that would tempt you to pay a lii^b trice, even in these hard times, for a "cussing man tlmt could do jiuti.'e to the mlijrcta toothache that wouldn't allow you to sit, stand or lie (important to an editor) still ten consecutive minutes, then you've ' had ju t such a jaw-breaking, mind-demoralizing companion as we had for three days in tbc p >st weefc. We tliiak we hear seme one saying, ?wW* ' didn't you hare it pulled ?" That's good in theory, but when it is niar'y the last tooth in tbo upper jaw and the cotton crops is so poor and tk%a#flgTT~to c low jhat you pbftecf." much less for a 1 ?vtTr set of masticators, the practical outcome 9 was, wc had to submit to a most excruciat- ' j3g "gii-, anti bear it" time, and keep the r too h.

' Of coursi our friend looks only on one side of tli > question, and does not fully realize the danger jus condition of the merchants, at this time. The question with the merchants is uot whether they are willing, but whether th y will be able to give credit for supplies in 1892. At this time, we see Banks, Merchant, corporations and individuals < .. ft'ling around us, financially ruiaed, with j .. - ' thousan Is of dollars due theni oil tbeir b >oks. j nb ,rc the:r liabilities, but llioy could not mako c l!tclion?, and were forced to the ^ wall. The wholesale merchants arc suffering seriously from these failues, and are r not on'y pushing the o untry merchants J hard, hut threaten to close their doors against credit customers hereafter. We a tnot believe the farmers of Union Comity are either so foolish or dishonest as to resoi t to our c>rre?pondent's suggestion ti that lliejr would sell their crop* and put the money in their pockets, thereby telling the g merchants who furnished the supplier to make t the crop, "you may wh'stte for your money." (] Such n d shonest course might help, for one year, those who adopted it, but it would strike the hon -r and integrity of the farming class ( such a s?rious blow that they could not recov- |, r front it in many yesrs# We are for nn t honest, conciliatory, help*onc*anotber sr- j rongemcnt of the present troubles. * - t Try a Rox ef Teuncy's Candy at G.

It is a dear, cloin and beautiful ( mple, and we hare always wondered why ( efined Cotton Seed 0 1 was not gen-rally ( 'o 1 in the South for all cooking purposes, s'cad of the adul'eraled lard wo now get oin the stores. It certainly must be cancr and healthier than lard, for there tu be nothirg much cleaner than the *egeible oils cxtractcl front seed aod nuts of very kind, while, in a hoaUbYnl point of iew, there can bo no comparison between lie oil from cotton seel and the lard rossod from hogs kitlol at tho iargo hogacking factories, in all doubtful conditions f health. We have used Cotton Seed oil for cooking ad we positively assert that wc prefer it to trJ. Unfortu lately there is a prejudice in he minds of many ngiinst the use of (il in nytliing they cat. That prejudice arises, icrhaps, from the objection to tho taste o^ aster oil, as a medicine, and the many iffensive animal oils used for various mcihanical and other purposes, but it has no oundation, in point of cleanliness, hcalthfulless or economy, against the use of cot-on iced oil. There is no danger of swallowing iiiiii''us vi ?iru;iiiu in ur uiiyuung ioui ain inc'can at every mouthful wo eat of food Lhat ii cookel or prepared iu cotton seed oil. We want to sec a full supply of homeraited lard, for that would insure homeraised bacon and home raised corn upon every farm; but as our people can't raise all that, they ctn do the next, best thing, they can use hemc-mauufuctured cotton seed oil ia preparing their food, home raised cotton seed meal and hulls for making fat cattle, and the home-made Fertilizer from the Union Manufacturing Co., to make more corn, pork, cotton, nnd homo supplies generally next year: Don't you sec what a blessing our Farmers enjoy in that one product, cotton, if they will but use it discreetly, and not tide a faithful horse (o death. Why, we believe in a few years the lint will not be more valuable than the seel; that the cotton plant will, directly and indirectly, feed and clothe more human beings than any two other products of the world. It is the most wonderful, because most prolific in its uses, of any p'aut ia the world; and wil] continue to make immense fortunes?for some. Let the fsrmtri of the South link their farms to the cotton Factories nnd the cotton seel mihs, ns near as possible, by becoming liberal stockholders in them, there by securing la theraselvc a 6liaro of tlio profits as well as fortuues I lift are made from the many uses to which the cottoa they raise is put to, and by the young men of the far ui learning how to conduct the various depa* tments, thus becoming financially interested in both farm and factory. A year's employment of 10 and 12 hours a day* 6 days in every week, would impress upon tho boys the value of time, money and promptitude in business matters.
