Good Advioe to Farmers On tun ltmcK, Jan 20.?Mr. Editor:? 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 the neighborhood to day, but the "Grippe," short crops, low prices and hard times ate the topics of conversation.

The farmers cannot buy Guano at he present price of cotton, if they do they j ,re gone. It. will break up any farmer to ai-c cotton at the present price. I/in lli'd lers look out for yourselves, for rerytliing >s nga tut your interest. The tily way for >ou is to make your farms selfustaiuiug, and unless you do that you will ) n have no farms, and will be begging jii'e one to h- lp you Look at those who re that way now. What is the cause? line have brought it on themselves by tryig to ben their wr.y, not paying their ubts when they h id ttie money, but spent for something that they c-itld have done iIk'U'; the debts still hang over their ; i.nd the money is g.>i<e.

For i ho Tim kg. "A Farmer." to ' Another Farmer." I'ha Ridck, Jan. 17, *92.?I see an arti. lie from "Another Farmer" in the Timks. k?j Ic seems to pic'ure out one side of the Itail- Co' oad question most beautifully. If all he pe lays be true, it's enough to make "Farmer" lit tavo faith in his argument; hut "Farmer is ? donbt'ng Thomas, and will not believe until Fc bis eyes behold some of tho-e good things te "Another Farmer" writes from Jonesv l'e, la but his letter has the ring of being dictated th by some interested persou. ?s In reply to "Another Furmet" 1 will only notice sun.) points in his artdc. My n< fuend has -omething to say about the enor pi mcus advances on real estate along the 8. ti A. road, hut friend Farmer will bear in tli mind that the building of that road gave m now iife to that whole mountain country, w They hat no means of transportation for ten* m of nules in nil that section, only as tbey ju hauled on their wagons to 8| ait an burg ui and other p ints. It is not the case with in the Locklm>t Shoals road. I'inckney is in 12 b or 14 miles at far best of a Railroad station, pi and ihe 8. & U. Road runs through Jones- ci ville; aud 1 can s?y to Another Farmer that b the lands on the Ridge have increased in if va'uc in the last twenty jears from 100 to 1 300 per cent and we have had no railroad or ti cotton mills bui.t during those years. 1 a-k it Another Farmer to go along the 8. & U. reilrond, outside of the towns, and find out the L dilforence in the value of the lands along i: the road from the lands several miles from s the read. If you please you can take the ! Pea Ridge lands and compare prices, and 1 I , know that the ridge laud is no more fertile t than the land lying along the road. I ask \ Another Farmer why is this ? Another Far- I mer says, if we get tho road we will have a t $">00,000 cotton mill st once, and bui't s mostly by foreign capital. Yes. and a 1 the i dividends paid by the mill will take their t cverl?sting 11 glit as soon as they are dc- J clarcd, and the county will net be benefitted < by them. The county wi 1 only rec-ivc the I taxes on the mill. I Mr. l'ditor. it docs fccm that no en'erprise ; gotten up in Union can be carried out unless i the people first arc asked to give all the i benefit derived from such enterprise before it is carried out. And suppose the mill is I built, who will get the benefit of the taxes co'lccted from it? It will go into the county ' '-' ' o..?v?i-v fnwnHhin will bo bene fitted alike, but o'd l'inckney and Jonesville will liave to pvy ilie fiddler. Now is that right? Is i? democracy ? No; it is "special privileges" in its worst form. I have no moral right to vote a tax upon any other citizen against his will, although 1 inny have a legal right. Anything legal may he far from Icing right. Mr. Ivlitor, I will call your attcuton to an enterprise proposed at Union some years ago, asking for a subscription to a cotton iiriu m Union. When the citizens of the town subscribed sutHc'cnt amount to induce foreign capitalists t > flUUscrtVe .i?? rainqindci*, | the capitalists decided not to lake stock in the mill unless the Union stockholders weuld give them preferred stock ; hut the , Union men would n-d do it, and the result was the mill went under; and 1 can say they acted wisely in not accepting tho terms. 1 Am 1 correct? Now tiicy want us to vote a tax on ourselves to build a road to Lochhart Shoals, thereby taking all the benefit derived from the mill from us to benefit a few. 1 Another Farmer and Joe and Telephone j. must rub up and picture nmre beautiful things about the road and the benefits the >' farmers tv II derive from it in these two f townships. They haven't told half the good | things that was ptutilised lite people of Uuion if the S. A. road was built. Now, Another Farmer, acknowledge that that was a blunder the people committed, and 1 say so loo, and farther I sty, in most u every case when they vote a tax of that I kind on tlionise'ves tlicy itiAkc a mistake. Usually we have enough taxes to pay withe out adding any more. T Another bar into goes on to tell u* about. . Cosnies nifmg rue-fine. ' 1 don't believe there is enough limber along ttio lino until you get in i wo or three miles of ihe Shoals a to make J.OOO cross ties, unless they take r old-field pities. And lastly, Another Farmer wants me to _ put on my calculating cap and sec how far 1 nier wish 100 acres of land along (lie lino c will 1 c benefitted by the road and mill. We 1 let us see: Mr. A. has 100 acres of land, lie ' bus none to ad I?would rather buy if ho ' cmid. If Another Farmer's estimates be true, liis land will be w >rth $000 more. Well, if it bo worth that much more it will lie as: I'S-u d that much tnorc: so 17 miils on the dollar wi.l make $<'>.10; then tlie taxes on the bonds will he at least -1 mills more. So we will say his 100 acres before i its increas-d value wrs worth $">00, then ( add the $300 to the$o00, and we ba?e $800, and put 4 in lis lax on the $800, is $3,20, which add d to the $">10, and we have $8.30. >'o you can see that Farmer A wi 1 i make e.ic'i jo.ir nb nit $".00 over the left , shoulder on his 100 acres of land; that is, it Another Fnrmei's estimates be coirect. 1 Fahmkr.

Kki-ton, Jan. 18.?Good morning, ?fr. litor:?After being absei t from your ? lumus for some time I liavo concluded to " rcil a few lines t-? give tho renders what ww il* nans I have gathered the pnst week. \\ Presiding Elder J. M. ll?yd preached at ^,jr istcr's Chapel yestordav from Luke 3, chap- g r and 9;h verse : "And now also the axe is T id unto the ro <t of the tree ; every tree a]j , erefore which bringeth not forth pood fruit (|ie hewn dowa and ca?t into the fire." dn, Such another wail of hard times I havo <-0? :ver heard?deb a unpai I and nothing to gou ?jr with. n#l Mr. Editor, 1 interviewed a Secretary of j? ( io Merchants Protective Association l'1'9 has orning and found that their Association ,,ot as f?r better than it has been reported to f e. It is nothing more than putting a man jft. ist where lte stands, so far ns honesty and slum est y goes. When a man can nnd will at pay then he can expect to be put on tho j aok list; but wheu a man does all in 1st-* jy< ower and then faili to pay out, ho gets redit for it; and it would have been far ettcr for the merchants and farmers both, 'this movement ban been stnr cd years back h ive a far better opinion of the As#oc;aon than I had before I talked with one of ,s Secretaries. Hy Now a few words about the Jonesville and .ockliart SUna's railroad. In the fir-t place \ i it right fsr ilie voters of Pinckncy Town- ' hip to vote a tax upon ourselves and chil- ? rcn and perhaps our g nndchildrcn, for the ? icnefit of a private corporation ? It is true hat the tax the road and factory would pay vhen built would come very near balancing; a 1 >ut that being I lie case what benefit is there to ' io derived from the tax on the proposed road c ind factory. Now, fellow citizens of Pinck- ' 1 iey township, rcmeinlier, if you vote a twenty hotisaud duller subscription to this road, a fou will have iu the ncghborliood of 8 miles 0 f railroad tax to pay? not on this one road nit you are already paying a hca?y tax on Rr ;he Spnrt'nbiirg and Asheville road?and if pou have to pay on another one you will cry Hit high taxes, sure enough. You can rest assured that Kelton will cast but very few votes for the railroad, unloss they are brought frotu tho lower part of the Township. " Now, if John Smith wanted to build a grist mill or put up cotton ginning machinery and r wasjto ask tho people in his neighborhood to * subscribe a liberal sura of monoy to buiid tho house for his works, they would say, "John Smith is the biggest fool we ever saw." ] [We have no intention to take sides in the J Lockhart 8hoa!s railroad discussion; but we ' n can't he'p thinking, light here, that if I lie |j "pcoplo in his noigliborhoo 1" wanted a grist a mill or a Cotton Gin no ?r them they would be fools if they 'lid not subscribe liberally ^ towards putting up the building, if John ^ Smith would put in the machinery. John Smith would make some money out of the work done for the people by his machinery, it is true, but the people would be more than repaid for their outlay of money, in the time and labor Hated, and the great convenience f which tiic Grist Mill and Gin would be to I them.?Editor.1 1 1 Our friend J.
