CONDUCTED BY O. O. 8TRIBLINQ. CommuloatloDB intended for thlb department ahnuld be addrea&ed to J. C. Stribllng, Pdndleton, 8. C. ttiii Man Can's Buy Cotton. "Spartanburg, Jan. 13.?Capt. G. S. Coftln, president of tho Enoree mill, said yesterday to a reporter that his agents could not buy a bale of Cotton. While tbero was an abundance of it piled on the farms, not a bale was for sale. His ageuts say that they might as well go out of business." Who was it that said. "The farmers won't stick." We need not go further to prove the falsity of this statement than to draw the attention of all to the present slate of their sticking qual ifi?e. Why, they are now sticking to their determinations to hold their cot ton for 10 conto closer than Aunt Jamima'a plaster stuck to old Bob's back. In an interview with a traveling man today,, who has just returned from a thorough canvass of seven counties in the Pfcdmont section of this State, he says that he never saw 88m so deter mined as the farmers are io hold their cotton for better prices, and refusing to buy fertilisers. They are more de termined than they Wore when -they whipped out the jute bagging trust, and the farmer is the best fortified he has ever been. The farmers have five times as much food stuff, money ?vpericsc? ?u organized efforts they bad when they won the fight against the juto bagging combination. Talk about farmers .not sticking, why they have aimply stuck to tboir traditional principlea of producing the wealth of the world and allow the non-producer to take it at bis own prjee longer. Yes, how much longer than any other class of craftsmen on the faco of tho earth. Farmers, you are sticking to eomething all the time. Gome forward and etiok to the plan of making and maintaining prices for your products as you have done in the paBtof allowing the other crowd to price your product, and you have gained your point. The following is a summary of the resolution offered by the executive committee at the last meeting of the County Farmers' Union at Anderson and adopted: Besolvod: "That as it is apparent that there will bo a small surplus of the 1004 cotton ernp unspun when 1905 crop begins to bo marketed, thereby causing the price of both crops to re main below the cost of production and in order to avoid auch a calamity to the cotton growers and consequently to oil other business In the cotton grow ing States, it is ?bte opinion of this onion tha* it U? necessary to reduce both the acreage and fertiliser bill at1 least25 percent, and that no fertilisera should os purchased under 30 day a. Or uqtU a correspoadmgjreduction bo bad in the pries of foSpasra, which wo are confldont ihtf'fert?iier ?oanufac- ! tarera will give."
