That money is scarcer than usoal, we do not deny ; but this constant dinning it in the ears of everyono you meet and pull.ing it before the eyes of every reader of a newspaper, baa a strong tendeocy to make matters worse. It makes men who bavo a little money ovcr-cautlous about parting with it; and they take a stronger grip on it, as a matter of precaution against the awful times everybody says wc ore sure to have next summer.

As the ground is covered with water, and the rain continues to pour down over this gloomy land of ours, wo cannot get out to hear what is going on in tha neighborhood to day, but the "Grippe," short crops, low prices an t hurd times ate the topics of c<>n versation. 1 think the farmers intenJ to try to keep cut < f debt this year ns much as possible, by buying loss diy g <ods and Guano. They will plant less cotton and more corn anil other grain There will be less cotton raised in the South this year than has been since the war. The fanners cannot buy Guano at the present price ,of cotton, if they dot hoy are gone. It will break up any farmer to rni*e cotton at the present price.

If all be pot wye be true, it's enough to raoke "Farmer" liu bore faitb in bis argument; but "Farmer is 1 o doabt'ng Thorns*. and will not beliere until Fo his e/es behold some of tho>o good things ter "Another Farmer'' writes from Jonesr l'e, lai but bis letter bos the riog of being dictated th< by some interested person. *s In reply to "Another Fanner" I will only notice sima points in his artde. My ne fneod bos 'owetliifig to say about the eoor- pe mous adennces on real estate along the 8. k A. rood, but friend Farmer wilt bear in th mind that the budding of that rood gave un new iife to that whole mountain country, wi They had no nteano of transportation for ten* tui of mil?a in all that section, only as tbey ju hauled on their wagom to S|aitaoburg ill and other p ints. It is not the case with nc the Lockha't Shoals road. Pincknej is in 12 b' or 14 utiles at far best of a Railroad station, j c and the S. k V. Road runs through Jones- cr Title; aud I can say to Another Farmer that b< the lands on the Ridge have increase I ia if Ta'ue in the lust twenty years from 100 to I 300 per cent and we have had no railroad or ti cotton mills bui.t during those years. I ask it Another Farmer to go along the S. & U. railroad, outside of the towns, and find nut the L difference in the Taluc of the lands along is the road from the lands scTrral miles from si the road. If you please you can take the <1 Pea Ridge lands and compare prices, and I b know that the ridge land is no more fertile tt than the land lying along the road. I ask w Another Farmer why is this ? Another Far- b mer says, if we get the road we will haro a b $500,OtM) cotton mill at once, and bui't a mostly by foreign capital. Yes, and a 1 the n dividends paid by the mill will take their t everlssiing ti glit as so<n as they are de- y clared, and tho county will net be benefitted o by them. Tho county wi 1 only recivo the b taxes on the mill. t Mr. Kditor, it docs rectn that no enterprise j gotten up in Union can be carried out unless c the people first arc asked to giro all the a benefit derived from such enterprise before s it is carried out. And suppose the mill is f built, who will get the benefit of the taxes collected from it? It will go into the county t Treasury, nnd every townabip will be bene- i fitted alike, but o'd l'inckney and Jones- s ville will have to psy the fiddler. Now is I that right? Is it democracy? No; it is ! '.'special privileges" in its worst form. I have no moral right to vote a tax upon any other citizen ngaiust his will, although I may have a legal right. Anything legal may he 1 far from being right. Mr. EJitor, I will call your attention to on onternriso nronoscd at Union some years ago, asking for a subscription to a cotton nnii ?? u?iiyn. When the citizens of the town subscribed sufHc'ent amount to induce foreign capitalist< to suoscituo <u ramniniler, the capitalists decided not to take stock in the mill unless the Union stockholders would give lhem preferred stock ; but the Union uicn would not do it, and the result ! was the mill went under; and 1 can say they acted wisely in not accepting tho terms. I Am I correct? Now tiiey want us to rote a tax on ourselves to build a road to Lochhart Shoals, thereby taking all the benefit derived front the mill from us to benefit a few. } Another Farmer nnd Joe and Telephone , must rub up and picture more beautiful things aboul the road nnd the benefits the f farmers tv II derive from it in these two f townships. They haven't told half the good things that was promised the pteople of Union if the S. & A. road was built. c Now, Anotlior Farmer, acknowledge that that was a blunder the people committed, , and I s.iv so loo. and farther I s?y, ill most u every caso when they vote a mx of that . kind ou themse'ves they make a mistake. Usually we have enough taxes to pay withe out adding any more. if Another Farm or goes on to tell us about . t^ossnes nrrnig me~ime. ' I "don't believe there is enough timber along the liuo until a you get in two or three miles of the Shoals to make 1,000 crusstics, unless tbey take old-field pines. And lastly, Another Farmer wants me to put on my calculating cap and sec how farmer with 100 acres of land along (lie lino will be benefitted by the road and mill. Well let us see: Mr. A. has 100 acres of land, lie has none to sell?would rather buy if ho could. If Another Farmer's estimates be true, his land will be worth $1100 more. Well, if it bo worth that much more it will he assessed thai much more; so 17 mills on the dollar will make $->.10; then the taxes on the bonds will be nt least i mills tnnt*o SJn wa will an** I.'..

Correspondent for the Union Times. A Balance from Kelton. Kbltos, Jan. 18.?Good morning, ilr. itor:?After being abgei t from jour - # - ? ? ? - 1 .j.j ceil a few lines to giro the readers what U news I hare gathered the past week. Presiding Elder J. M. Il>yd preached at iter's Chapel yestorday front Luke 3, chapand 9' it verse : "And now also the axe is d unto the root of the tree ; every tree trefore which bringeth not forth good fruit hewn dowo and ca*t into the fire." Such another wail of hard timet I Itavo ver heard ?deb s unpaid and nothing to y with. dir. Editor, I interviewed a Secretary of e Merchants Protective Atfocia'ion this ruing and fi-und that their Association is far better than it live been reported to b. It is nothing more than putting a man st where he stands, so far ns honesty ami shoot-sty goes. When a man can and will >t psy then he cao expect to be put on the ack list; but when a man does all in his >wer and then fails to pay out, he gets edit for it; sud it would have been far titer for the merchants and farmers both, this movement baa been star ed yesrs back h ive a far better opioion of the Assoc'aon than I had before I talked with oue of s Secretaries. Now a few words about the Jonesville and ockhart Sboa's railroid. In the fir^t place i it right fsr the voters of l'inekney Town, sip to vote a tax upon ourselves and chitren and perhaps our g andchildren, for the enefit of a private corporation T It is true sat the tax the road and factory would pay dicn built would c>me very near balancing: ut that being the esse what benefit is there t( o derived from the tax on the proposed road od factory. Now, fellow citizens of Pines ey township, remember, if you vote a Iwenit housaud duller subscription to this road ou will have iu the ne-ghborhood of 8 mile f railroad tax to pay?not on this one roai >ut you ar? already paying a heavy tax 01 he Spartanburg and Asheville road?and i ou have to psy ou another one you will cr; >ut high taxes, sure enough. You can res ssurcd that Kelton will east but very fei rotes for the railroad, unless they are brough rum the lower part of the Township. Now, if John Smith wonted to build a gris nill or put up cotton ginning machinery an rvasjto ask the people in his neighborhood I tubscribe a liberal sum of monoy to buiid tli louse for his works, tlicy would say, "Joh Smith is the biggest fool we ever saw." [We have no intention to take sides ia tl Lock hart Shoals railroad discussion; but w can't bc'p thinking, tight here, that if (I "people in his neighborhood" wanted a gri mill or a Cotton Oin nosr them they woul be fools if they did not subscribe liberal! towards putting up the building, ir Joti Smith would put in the machinery. Jol Smith would make some money out of tl work done for the people by his machinery it is true, but the people would bo more thi repaid for their outlay of money, in the tir and labor sated, and the great convenien which the Grist Mill and Gin would be them.?Editor.] Our friend J.
