"Farme:" Discusses Cotton Sifuatlcn
I'Mitor Times: As 1 think it time
for Home farmer to yive uilviee on
7 l-'Jc colli n, I will say a few .
wordn. In the first place you can't I
raise cotton at 7 1-2c as bi^li as |
cverythini; else is wheat, $1.20,
per busht 1; farm labor, Sib to $ IT?
per month; fertilizers will be $22
i<> $2o; Hour will be about $1 on'
lime next year, and everything
else in proportion.
I low can you make pi Hon at 7
or i 1-2e, when you have been
making only a living the past two |
years at Id to 1 Tie per pound?
Now. 1 would like for someone
to explain bow we can make anything
at t 1-2e cotton \ ?11 may
work from before day until after
ti.uk uii I y?til can I make a living
a ? I 'ii^ as t la J liilies exist. Yu?
can't 4, j any nf the above articles
an\ t heap"i lor the next year, at
best II \ a hi try to lower wnyos,
I lie i emnant of white folk will
to the cott >u mill, anil the ne^ro I
to town', or to Teihly where In* i
can live cheaper. In my opinion,:
the thitje tor sensible people to do ,
is to tnKe care of themselves ami
their families.
It a pp. ?irs that \vc will make
about 500,000 more bales of cotton
than tin c.untrv needs, and this
surplus has brought the price
from I5e to 7 12- per pound.
Don't yon think it would be aensi-{
b!e for us to let some <>f the poor
land reel, if we haven't sowed it
in wheat, and make a smaller o.op'
>>t eo'.lon to yjel the price up, mi we
can make a livine? We can make
on this poor land two to three tone
of p.avine liny, which is worth $15 j
p r ton on llii' market, and that is
more than you can make on it at '
7 1 "J cotton, with considerable}
h a.-i expense. Why not lay off
about one-fourth of tins cotton,
luid for pcuvine liny and other
st it IV that the world needs insto nl '
of i-ottou'r Say, make a ' > 1-2 inilli
ii i< mi crop, so i hat the mills will
want y nr cotton and be willing
to pay you a living price for it? 1
have m ale this year two to three !
toiiH of tino pcavme hay <n\ land '
thai I could have made about H00 '
pounds of seed Cotton per nore, (
witb fertilizers at present prieer. <
You can count this up for yourself.
Then, why pi on and make
m< ic cotton th in they iced and j
ruin ourselves? We are in good
shape n> w, having made less last
year, and the only w ty we en:i
manage the boys-is to make a !> 1 2
in i .1 nr bale cr? >p.

Sought Her Lover, But In Vain
The Fort Mill correspondent of
the Charlotte Observer tells as follows
of the ending of o love affair
between a young man of this township
and a North Carolina maiden:
"There recently came here from
North Carolina a young college
girl. She inquired for a young
man living in the country who
had possibly barely reached his
majority. The next morning she
hired a team and was driven out to
the young maids home, after notir
i ? . ? -
lying nun ny telephone of her
purpose. When she arrived there,
she found that the young man had
gone to the tild to his work, and
after spending a short while with
the family, she returned to town
and hoarded tho tirHt train hark to
her school. See was very reticent,
but it was gleaned that the two
ha.l met through the advertising
columns of a newspaper, and some
conespoiidence had ensiu (| What .
the plans were, what, her i 111 piessioiiH
and feelings, remained to be
conjectured, but she evidently return.
