Under he present system of farming. in thie secion of the cotton belt. especially, ?hc present f rice will do but little more then pay the expenses of producing it. But our Formats may as well make up their minde at ooee to the fact that the daye of high pricrd col'ou hare passed, and if they expect to make it a profitable money crop hcreufter, instead of sitting down and cal culatirig how much cash it lakes to raise a bale of cot'oo, the/ roust turn over a new leaf ntid calculate liow many pounds of bacon, bushels of corn, wheat oats and other supplies they will havo to raise to produce a halo of cotton. Until they get cut of the delusive notion that the cotton crop is the only cash crop on the farm and take the more rational business view that every dollar's worth of supplies they raise with the cot'oo crop, is so much cash in their pockets when they sell their cotton, and farm with that ia view, there will he no money for them in raising cotton. The present low condition of the cotton market, (political demagogues to the contrary notwithstanding.) is mainly the natural result of "supply and deinund," and cannot legitimately be trao?<J to the ; ? effco's of auy Isws of the country now in force, or the demand for laws of relief. It is simply this : When the market opened this year there was not < n'y an overplus of cotton on hand, but a lai ^e .dock of manufactured cotton goods, hoih in this country nud England, consequently the mill owners were in no hurry to buy, un'css at I lie lowest price; mid knowing that the new crop would soon ho forced upon the market to pay the debts incurred for *?? '- ncrii in ? ouiiUltlon to dictate i rices. It is much like a farmer with hi* cribs full of coin ntieuding a fctlicriff's sale where a lot of corn is put up. lie In's enough corn "to do him," and don't wHiit any, just then, but if lie can buy it low liuwn no iiuki m i ill! | tiruiiunu. u is au utci j day oociurcncc right hero among ourselves, mi I we run't expect anything better from strangers W? often lieur Farmers say, "Oh, we must raise rot on to got money to pay debts " Now, we contend Hint a man who raises, say 6 bales of cotton and enough supplies to do him, will have more money to pay his debts than one that raises 10 bales and buys his supplies on credit. The great trouble is, while every Farmer grumbles when the cash w .U.tou<c?t fiuui ills cotton money, to pay for the year's supplies, but few soein to take into account the fact that home-raised supplies ate as much cash to the farm as cotton. Another important fact should not be for gotten : In Texas and Mississippi they can rui-e cotton on their rich soils at HO per cent !o>s expcusc than wo can in Union county. S. C. The amount of cotton they produce is so large that the condition of the cot to a crop in those two States has as much inlliieiice on ihc price as the cond tion of the crop in all the other cotton States put together. We have been told by intelligent Farmers that in large sections ..f those Millie"t >' buck' against them ami the cotton speculators, by swelling the total eolton crop beyond llie demand and thereby loweting the price to less than the nctual cost of production here, under the system of allcotton farming, depending upon home stores or State exchanges for supplies, to he paid out of tlic cotton money. To us it seems self-evident that until our Farmer:' change their schedule of farming to "less cct'oti and more supplies,"' they >vi 1 j - . r... 111:11UCI uCl iH'iirr |'i iti a iui iumuu, ?.h??v any money, in.r jx??t out of tlel>l.

He bought the seed spring Jli.ou per bushel, front which lie raised ! () bushels of as lino sweet potatoes as he ever saw. The vine of those potatoes is similar to tliO vine of the pimlar. It is claimed to be a more prolific potato than any other, and will keep as well. The great desideratum in a Sweet Potato is its qua'iies. There are any number of good kinds of sweet potatoes now, but lite troubles in keeping thent during the winter. An unfai'ing phut to keep sweet potatoes would be worth more to the country than any new specie I hat may be discovered.

'21.?I must confess that I do not exactly understand Vox in his article lust week, where he spoke of me as going so fur and stirring up i ho ire of some of the best citizens of the North I'acolet sec.ion, by my description of it, and his mention of the fact eeems somewhat of coldness. Now, to make the matter abort, I meant no reflection whatever Just the reverse, and am sorry any one misconstiued it. If that nrticlc is read carefully, the people will see that I said "discarded mads," ami soma of them in places cnllcd reads. I did not say anything ohmji the (Tpnoral roads, though it is well said about raising so many difl'ereut "varmints" around Etta Jane 1'. O., 1 only meant it as a little joke with Vox, the same that 1 wrote was jokingly talked over while I was there. J never met a mure generous hearted set of people, nor was 1 ever treated better by anybody, strangers, as well as acquaintances. Head and reconsider, and reverse your judgment, friends, if you have passed sentence on ute. On accouut of the severe sickness of Rev. J. II Ynrborough'fl wife, there was no preaching at the llaptist church at Santuc, Sunday. Quite a goodly number of the Sunday School was out, it being a mild day. lbtt 1 ftfYVtnla t\f tlio enrvipfw u'<\4 imirrnil tin what by eome young people in the buck scats A "calico frolic-' was given at Carlisle last Fridsy uight, and quite a number of Santuc young people attended. It is reported that some odd costumes wcro worn. That is a new kind of frolic in our knowledge. 1 attended the Kpworth League at Union, last night, and enjoyed myself as much as a bad cold would allow. The League proper met at the Methodist church, Sunday night, and not knowing of the change met at the regular place of meeting. There were no religious exercises in consequence, but the sociable part was grea'ly enjoyed I have attended two of these meetings and 1 iko them much. The people eceui very much "(.town in tho month" about the low nrico of c<>t(on. When the light was over the silver repeal bill, many who were in favor of unconditional repeal, sail thai the price went down f?r the lack of confidence. The bill was passed, the price of cotton still goes down, and the people are sore in need of the restoation of that couft louce. When is tho confidence promised ? Mr. and Mrs. J.

Kditoii : ? lniyour last week's Ti.mks you made a mistake in speaking about "pusi indebtedness' in this county. We have no "past indebtedness.'" The levy Inst year paid us out and left a balance in the handof the county Treasurer. The law forbids funds c Uected for one department being used for debts of any other department, consequently tlio County Commissioners could i not use that balance without special permission from the legislature. The Hoard applied to the legislature last year to have that ba'ancc^tiaiisl'erred to the Ordinary County fund, but the application was overlooked by our Representatives. We hope to have it so transferred at I lie next session. Von are right as to the levy to retire K. R. bonds.

E. W. Jktek, Scc'y. Oil Men Meet.?There was a large gathering of oil men in Columbia Thursday. They met to discuss cotton oil and cotton seeds. Those Jwho were present were : B. C. Johnston, Enslcy, i3. C.; Gen. L. Baker, Columbia; W. II. Doty, Winnsboro; C. Fitzsimmons, Columbia; W E. Thomson, Union; Alexander Long, Spartanburg ; Chas. II. Fisher, Edgefield; J. A. Brock, AndersoD; L; W. Floyd, Newberry; A. II. Curcton, Greenville; II. II. Iludgins, Laurens; E. M. Lipscomb. Ninety-Six; W. B. Milwee, Greenwood; J. T. Rice, Belton; J. D. Dawson, Augusta; D. A. Tompkins, Charlotte; F. Oliver, Charlotte. It is thought that the lard men in Chicago who use large quantities of cotton oil have combined to reduce the price. At the beginning of this season the price of oil was about 40 cents por gallon at the mills, whereas now it Las declined to be as low as about 2-> ccuts at the mills. Besides tlie action of the lard men in bearing the oil market, there hns been a seed war in Texas. This Texas seed war is now ab <ut ended but so much seed have already been marketed that the oil is becoming liurd to sell at any price. It is understood that I lie purpose of the meeting at Columbia was to confer about the si'uatiou and devise means to defeat the bear movement in the oil market. Last year the oil business "bomied." but (his year everybody is blue and in doubt about what to do. None of the mills ai'O running full time and the crush of seed in the Southeast will be very short. Texas has made oil enough this year to supply the from under." Feed tiie FATtrr.ui.ess. ? Thanksgiving day is coming. So is Chri tir.as !
