Editors !I&t<blli&?noer:: Having been kindly allowed space in y?or vaNts> \ We paper last week to make* r?ggeafii?n to the.farmere, one df Whose -s?na- 'I am proud, to tte, i ask a little farther indul? gence with the hope that- I may possibly Bay something that will be beneficial to some one. The suggestion I wish, to make this week is brottght to my mind by the words of one who never made a mistake, tie said: "All things whaisoever.se would that men should do le .yow, do ye even so to them." Now,, the reverse is equally true, whatsoever ye would not that men should do to you, do ye not to them. I do not mean to offend yon, but mere? ly to suggest that no one should ever in anything disregard moral and religious obligations. We toSoften seem fo forget that there are two sides to almost every question, and white it is to the interest of the farmer to get his- goods for just as little as he can, still that man who seeks to get from another b'~ property for less than it is worth, is violating the spirit of the Words above quoted; or he who endeavors and desires to sell to another bis property foe more than it is worth, i? equally guilty of a breach of this rule laid down by man's best friend. The merchant should be willing to sell his goods at just such a profit as he would be willing to pay, provided he had to buy, and the purchaser should never desire a merchant to sell him goods at a less profit than he would be willing to take, provided he wan the seller, and the buyer should not fail to take into consid? eration the fact that all a merchant gets for his goods above what he paid for them is not profit. For there are numerous expenses to be paid by him. For in? stance, store rent insurance, drayage, clerk hire, expense of going to market to buy his goods, &c. Then again he is rightly entitled to the interest on his money invested, and pay for his own time and labor. All be'gets over and above this is so much more than he is entitled to. The merchant should also bear in mind the fact that whairis produced by the farmer is bard earned money. It is impossible for a farmer to make more than he ought out of his farm. He may so manage the labor on his farm as to get more of it than he is entitled, or get it for less than- he should, but he cannot make a better crop tbfin he oujfht. This Beems to be the most'(selfish age that has ever been. Almost everybody seems to think he has a perfect right, and to consider it his duty,'to get alhhe can for as little as possible. The farmer is as bad as the merchant, as much as the latter is abused. There are honest farmers, of couise, and many vof them, too; the same is true of merchants. That faimer acts very foolishly who buys goods from a man he does not'believe is truthful and honest. It is very unfortunate that nowadays everybody seems to distrust every other person, and even members of the same Church will commune togeth? er on Sunday, and then on Monday deal with each other as if each thought the other was trying to cheat him. It ought not so - to be. One Christian should never be afraid to trust another. The above is written with the earnest and sincere desire tjbat both merchants and farmers will read it and consider seriously the question as to dealing with their Tellowmen as they would have their fellowmen to deal with them. Be honest and deal honestly and truth? fully with each other, ever being willing to "live and let live." Don't ask more for your goods than they are worth, nor endeavor to buy what your neighbors has for less than they are worth. "All things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them." Yonrsfor peace and harmony, Farmer's Son. Use Cotton Bagging. Mr. Editor : We do not consider the so-called fight against the Jute Trust as much a fight as an effort to bring up the, cotton industry to its proper standing. As long as cotton sells for bo near the actual cost of production, a bagging made from the lower grades of cotton is the cheapest. Let's see. What do we pay for bagging? Where does this pay stop? Let's compare the figures of "Farmer's Son." The cotton market is controlled by Liverpool, as we all know. Say it takes 7}- lbs. of cotton to make 6 lb3, bagging; this lower grade of cotton sells for 9c?67*c. The farmer buys this at 12jc. per yard, or pound?75c. It is agreed that the tare be only the actual weight of covering. Then, when the cotton bagging only is used, the farmer will be out 12Jc. for baling, and this to home factories. If sold to home mills again of 37*c. per bale. Jutel What about it? 65c. (at present price, gocd deal more last year,) per bale. The whole amount is lost in tare, and the money some out of America, some to the facto* ries, and a good part to the wicked op? pressor. If Jute could be produced and manufactured in the South, it would be a practical baling. Figures will show that as long as cotton eells for less than 15c. per pound, it is to the interest of the cotton farmer to use cotton bagging. As to the advance in price' of coiton goods, just compare the population of the world. I We poor farmers will never feel it. Alliance Man. - ?I' To Marry In Cotton Bagging, Athens, Ga., Oct. 9.?The cortheaat Georgia stock and poultry show will welcome the visitors on November 12th, and to all who -come will bs shown the best fair ever held in this section. The directors have secured many attractive features, and intend to give the - people more than their money's worth, if good, energetic work will accomplish these ends. Hon. Henry W. Grady, of Atlanta, is expected to open the fair with his match? less .eloquence, and thousands will come from the surrounding counties to listen to the young Georgia orator. Governor Gordon, Col. Northen and Col. Livingston will be urged to be pres? ent and make speeches, besides other prominent Georgians. It will be a fine day's jollification, and the farmers will celebrate the most bounteous year tbey have known for a long time. But the most interesting part of the programme will be carried out on Alli? ance dBy, which is on Thursday of the fair week. The executive committee have decided to offer twenty-five dollars in gold to the couple that will get married at the fair ground on Alliance day in cotton bagging clothes. This will be one of the most novel sights ever witnessed in Georgia or any other State, if a couple can be found to do this. It is confidently believed that a couple can be found who will show their thorough appreciation of the farmers' fight on the jute truBt to come out attired in the cloth in which the farmers' interests are all centered,. i and on Alliance day be joined together ira^ the bo'y ties of wedlock. COUNTY CORRESPONDENT - j a ? ft* rtjgs^gggg ? j jj'ots from Hamilton. E. A. Russell is building a larg? barn for the storing of provender and the sbel tar of stock, vehicles and tooft. The Yankeo when he removes to a new home, On the farttt, builds a barn the first thing, if theVo Is not one already built. No man can succeed on the farm without a good barn and stables. Felix Beggs is the con? tractor for the tiew bam, assisted by his brother, Hamilton ?oggs. kike their prototype, James Hall, they push their werk from, the beginning to the end. We predict for our young friends a most suc? cessful career as carpVmts?. they are prompt, energetic ahd competent. Ed. Allgood never stops improvement After completing a large and commodious i dwelling, he has since turned oh) atten? tion to the building of good tenant houses for bis renters, and this summer has put Up A new cotton house and gin near his house, whore he can more easily auparvle all the machinery connected with a llist-: class gin. Doubtless he will be liberally patronised, and he now proposes to attach to bis gin a cottcm seed oil mill, which would bea source of profit to himRelf, and a convenience to the. neighborhod. It is still an open question with farmers as to whether the raw cotton seed, used as a fertilizer, or the cotton seed meal* is the best. It would be bad policy for the far? mers to Bell off the farm this Valuable fer? tilizer without Btt equivalent in tbejuse of cotton seed meal. By patient experi? ment fend investigation, all these ques? tions are hastening to a proper solution, and the oil mill will be an efficient Instru? mentality in solving the problem. Rev. T. C. Ligon, of the Methodist Church, has recently closed a series of tent meetings at tire different Churches in his Circuit with marked success. One hundred and twenty additions to the membership of those Churches have been (he tangible results, with much .benefit to the spiritual growth of God's children in these several Churc":3s. Whatever may be thought of the extreme views of some of the Holiness men, as to living without sin, yet we must concede that great spir? itual benefit has been achieved at these tent meetings. We have Sometimes thought that this was ohe of the means of reaching the outlying masses of people, hence the remarkable effects of Buch meet? ings. That denomination of Christians that soonest an 1 beet reaches that class of people, will soonest wear the palm of greatest gains for the Master. The hum of the cotton gin is being heard on all sides. The toll has been re? duced to the twentieth if the ginner hauls, or the twenty-fifth if the producer hauls his own cotton. In the South tbe cotton picking season is the gala season with the farmers, especially the white children and the little darkies. They seem to rejoice in the handling of the fleecy staple. The Alliance seems to be growing in favor with the farmers every day. This organisation seems to be adapted to the necessities of the farmer in every aspect of the case. By combination the farmers have learned they can not only protect themselves against extortion, but they hope to be able, in tbe nrar future, to fix a reasonable price upon their products, and to obtain it. This is practical, com? mon-sense and. business like. T. H. R. The Anderson, Shoe Factory. The meeting of the young men on Mon? day night in the interest of the proposed shoe factory and tannery was quite a suc? cess,.and was in eyery way entirely satis factory to the promoters of this new en? terprise. Upon motion, Judge Cox was called to the chair, and J. W. Quattlebaum re? quested to act as Secretary. By request, Rev. A. A. Marshall made a Very interesting talk on the line of cot? ton and leather manufactures, comparing the two and showing a decided advantage on. the side of the leather and shoe indus? try. At the close of Mr. Marshall's talk, Mr. T. S. Cray ton briefly explained tbe plan upon which it was proposed to raise the money with which to begin op? erations, which was that of tbe install? ment plan, each share holder paying twenty-five cents weekly on each share, the number of shares to be one thousand, at fifty dollars each. After further explanation by tbe Secre? tary, Mr. Cray ton moved to fix the shares at fifty dollars each. J. W. Quattlebaum moved to amend' this motion, so as to fix the number of shares at one thousand. Motion carried as amended. Mr. Crayton moved that three commit? tees of three members each be.appointed by tbe chair on subscriptions, to obtain further Information as to the shoe and leather manufactory, and a committee on Constitution and By-Laws. On motion, the committee on subscrip? tions was in crease A to five, as follows: T. S. Crayton, Jr., D*. E. C. Frierson, C. C Langston, Dr. R. W. Brown and W. A. Vandiver. On Information : Rev. A. A. Marshall, W. R. Osborne and J. W. Bruce. On Constitution and By-Laws: J. W. Quattlebaum, R. C. Webb and R. M. Ba? ker. On motion, the Chairman, W. F. Cox, was added to this last committee. Mr. Craytoii moved that the weekly payments be fixed at twenty-five cents each share. Mr. J. N. Watkins moved to amend, by making the payment fifty cents weekly. After considerable dis? cussion the amendment failed and the original motion prevailed. There being no further business the meeting adjourned, subject to the call of the Chairmain. ? At the close of the meeting those pres? ent were requested to make such subscrip? tions as they desired. The result was that over two hundred shares were taken in a few minutes. This is truly gratify? ing, and wo hope that every young man in the city and in the County will sub? scribe to this very worthy enterprise. J. W. Quattlebaum, Sec. Some Plain Talk. Belton, S. 0.; October 15, 1889. Editors Intelligencer : You have heard lots of talk about tbe Alliance, but you have never heard anything about the merchant*, especially about the drug stores of this, our morallittlo dry town. It can all bo very well understood when you think about it.* The drug stores are a big help. You may want to know the rea? son why. It is plain. Come to see us some Saturday evening, and I will guar? antee you will see more drunken people in one hour than you will see in your city (with its seven barrooms) in a week. I msy be talking too plain for some, but lot that be as it may, I know what I am talkiug about. I don't belong to the Alliance, but I am going to join, and I am going to Ander? son to buy my goods in the future, and advise every one else in and around Bel ton to do the same thing. It is an out? rage the way tbe merchants charge for goods in our town, and I attribute the prices to the way whiskey is sold. Peo? ple get drunk and pay all sorts of prices for goods. We have three drug stores, and two of thorn sell whiskey Sunday and every other day. There 1? one, however, that don't, I must say to the credit of the gen? tlemen who run it, but there are two that sold this year upwards of fifty barrels. This may be right, and may be it is not, but is a shame on our town for such to be going on right under the nose of the law, and I say it must be stopped. I am a cit? izen of this place arid can be very easily' found. J> K, Bkeazkale, Belton Items.
