THE MANNING TIMES. WEDNESDAY, AU(UST 21, 18817 B. S. DINKINS, Editor A COTTON BUYER NEEDED. With the opening of the cotton sea son our merchants should dir(et their attention, especially, towards induciu a cotton buyer or buyers to make their headquarters in Manning. The want of this factor in our trade has been keenly felt for a number e:rs. Cotton in large quantities iS yearly carried from this county to other zar kets, on account of the larger ppor tunities afforded by the cotton' buVer to dispose of it, for cash, at its market able value. We have even noticed!, with no little mortitieation, cotton tak en from the suburbs tf Manning. a distance of twenty miles to Ie sohl. There is no doubt that a lack of con idence in . this market exists among the people. We willing'y believe there is no foundat:on for i, but true' or untrue, the feeling prevails among a great many to the detriment of the town. It is the duty of our merchants to put this market on an equal footig' with any other place of like facilties. To do this, the most avamiabe means at their command is to make te place attractive for a cotton buye. It is calculated to restore any lack of con fidence that may -revail, and benefi the merchant by keepig the money of the cotton seller and his trade here with them. Last year a gentleman came here for the purpose of buying cotton but . only remained a few days. It has -reached us that be was induced to re turn to his home, Sumter, as a buyer of cotton in Mann ug would keep a great deal of this comimodJity, mrkke ed in Sumter, away from the. We do not know that this is so, but the circumstances are sufficienti suspi 1 cious to arouse our mnrcbants to an: effort to protect their interc~tsaand the interests of their town. Cotton buying in small villags or towns has quite recently become an important vocation, and a popular! one too with the cotton seller. We do-not know a nore inviting field for nIt a gentlenan of this avocation than Manning. Cotton is the crop of tLis conts, and with the location of Man ning; the competition of two buyers: would bring all the cotton here with in a radius of 15 miles, and even furth1 er on the eastern and south-western side. A merchant remarking on this subject the other day, said he believed - 25,000 bales would be sold here with a well advertised buyer. For the good of all we want to see two cotton buy ers operating here this fall. The curse of the credit system to the farmer, was the subject of a l dress delivered by a distinguished *. 1'ianian, Col. Diamond, before the recrut meeting of farmers in '-t * lanta. There is much of what he said1 *so applicable~ to our people rigvht here at home, that we publish a parUt His remarks should be pohndered we, m legislative assistance might be called upon to afford some remedy. Her e is 'wha~t he said about the cu rse of credit: In Southern agriculture, credit hia' been themost insidious agent that coul haveh bea -.well devised. The fact that each loca?lha 'but one dominant crop leads to excessive t 'risk. Opportunities to get creiit leads u~ to go in debt, when we do not need what wet buy, and the very marrow of ou hv's s sucked ont, and finally we die, or the sn-riff liquidates our estate and the end co ues. The worse result of credit to the farmer (oC curs here in the South. For instance : The I Southern planter has a piaxtationich he at has not money to cultivate; he goes to a fe er and pledges to him his erop; a'h crp .at sa 'p ot -planted, and prcenres funds, x:h "wbsch. to proceed with his culture. W ha I :sort of man is this factor that acc-A~epsrety c that does not exist, that is subjet to viisi 0. inudes and changes of weather" In: conclusion Colo::el Diamond said: --"May we rnot be too willing to keep our~ he~idin the noose of the money king, hop *ing always for uniform good fortune, anid -that our occasional good fortune will save as. This is the moest serious question, and we should consider it for those who follow I us, as well as for ourselves. This cre i i made easy leads leads us into too large ul-C ture an d into reckless erulture. Rlepeal tl e rop lHen laws, let the fewer disposeo. h -own crop to w~hatn and '.here he choses 1)*' L~et himi pay his debts in the or-d'arv eoure 1 as otherinen do. Ifhe fails to poy.le h be prosecuted as other mien are pr-o -eee by due process ot law suit, judgmenttart it kxecution, and notby per mpt-ory se-u- e ~OO his crop as now. Wheni this sb:dl bo Jane, a conservative man ciu get all the credit he' wants, as character alwavs tals .nd caipit. knows how to trust. The rcakh ss wa~in wi getno.credit and losses made on him ill n longer need to be ssec::wd upon the v hole .community. Then shall the New S'outh .arise in all her- grength and sho o h world that wealth of resources. the :agmnua cence of which is beyond our dreas Prohibition met wit h a signal defeat in the late elections in Anderson and Laurens counties. However, the re suit does not show really the proh ibi Lion strength in the two cotmics. It was more a defeat of what is k;nown as; the Murray bill, which prov ided for the election, than an anti-proh~ibii victory. Many good citize-ns, c'PPos ed to liquor saling, voted against the bill, for the reason thal; they deme the prohibitory laws already, an-jly' stringent and sufficient, and tnat any 5 further action onI the p)art of the gov" ernent would be oppression. They adopted the conservative plan of let-. ting well enough alone. Legisl-tion: can never force a naasure on the" peo pie without first educating th'e public mnd to a standard with the priuciples of the desir-ed law. Prohibitioni~sts have plenty of laws and to spare. Te. would work to greater adv--nt-ge by~ v preaching aL sentiment in favor of pro hibition, than by 12dmin the situ-te books with dead lef ter eniactmenCts. z ne 'le e s-Hida, or the will of the p "le is the highiest law y-et, exc'p the Dir vine precepts.
