C. atribling, Pendleton, B. a Our Cotton on Hand. Our effor s in these columns has been cbielly directed towards checking* if possible, tho increase of acreage by Billy farmers in cotton; we have not thought it necessary to givo any ad vice here to the farmers now holding their cotton. These are men of boai ness, end are usually men with suffi cient grit, pluck and financial backing to carry ? lu ir pointa and know what they aro about. The cotton holders that now have tliis matter in hand are about aa good financiers, and have about as much collateral and backing behind them as the bear ele ment have. Cotton holders know now that about all the acary holders have been shaken ont, and that the cotton bear is now up against the resd solid Stuff. Spot holdere are well e>ware of the fact that the spinner has got to have about all the cotton bo toro tbe next crop comes in, and it matters not whether tho next crop will be a small or a large crop. The thing is this, the mills must run or the walking mobs that are parading the streets of too foreign manufacturing cities calling for work or bread will wage riot. Stopping the mills under such condi tion would be equivalent to striking a match in a powder house. Ho'J yo ar holt, boys, and make them come over! Tl.? CIM. -.O mm?t. -rt ? m. tfi(iw wi ITO sillies. If we are not badly deceived in the aigns of the times, farmers that do not heed the warnings of the Formero1 Union and plant more food crops now, they will be running- around next Foll wanting every bod v's ad vic? about how to bay $20.00 a ton peavine hay and $1.00 a bushel corn with 6 cents cotton! Our big supply men. and mule men, too, hod better butt in this thing at once along with the Farmers' Union in their efforts to induce farmers to plant more food crops and less cotton, or the gama next Winter will be nip and tuck between these men and the buzzards aa to who w??? get the most revenue out of this mule mortgage business. A gootf deal ia being said recently about live a ink associations in each of the counties of the State, which will be a good thing if our farmers will take to them, a lui instead of bragging about selling ptuviur hay and other food crops, they w?il mino and feed more stock ana take cart) vi thc manure, they need not be howling any longer about the guano trust! Our Farmers' Unions should take to this live stock idea like young ducks take to water; it ie the natural thing to do and right along the straight road to the permanent building up of the up-to-date progressive idea of the in dependent farmer of. the South. . AU our Farmers' Unions abonld be each in itself a good live stock associa tion, and talk more ebon* raising more and better stock and talk less about raining more cotton. . . j nw? mm i Bow Aboat This? Some of onr South Carolina Far ro ora7 Unions have been trying to make av desi ?Ith the Uniese is tbs grain grow lng West for their grain, bnt neither the grain growers nor tho cot ton grower Save been able to get cara to ablp the corn. We are told that corn has been offered there from 83 cents to 86 cents per bushel, and thous aads of bushels have been piled on the ground there rotting while cotton far mers in Sooth Carolina are paying 75 costs tc 80 cents for their corn When they, can get it. .It seems that the .grain elevator men and the B* B. men get about aa much out of the Western Cbrn Crop as the corn growers get, while South Carolina; cotton farmers foot the bills tor the whole push. .pow, > thia ts not a mai*** io be Bot tled altogether by Congress Or the courte, for. the reason that yon cannot } legislate common horse sense into cotton farmers' heads, nor drive the bog and hominy doctrine down their throats''unless some other fellow grows th* hog and hominy. Our way out of tots thing is to grow' vour own'food stuffaJ It mattera not how cheap 'Others can grow it, ,some how or other, if there ia anything like ?ood in . thia trad in g business among farmers crops, the men that Stand be tween the cotton gr? weraend the a rain gio were get about all the sugar there ie in the hog, while. the farmers at each.? end are howling calamity and chewing the bag. . ? * At t? Arri?n ? mind ono monkey while be io picking cotton, and it usually takes two of our ?Southern cotton growers to mind ono of those native African negroes while he is growing the cotton and keep bim at it. When we come to reason this thing ovet in our minds, wo aro confident that we have a large number of tamo negroes hero about among our progres sive ootton farmers that would never do a day's work if they could keep from starving .nd freezing without it. There ie no ucceseity for negroes to vrork in Africa for food and ctot':ing, and it is against their saturo to dc ic here as well ns thero. We have rome white men hero that have the jame disease. All this talk about composition with American ootton is rot as? out ot date here, where we knov that the South baa the ideal cotton belt of the world, and we know how to grow cotton, and are learning how to manufacture cot ton, and still moro we. havo learned to count the cost of production of cotton, and how to demand a fair profit upon our products and we aro going to have it.
