JiARti^ST COP1PT CltCtLAWOl TnwR»r>Af, Atjmrsr »i, isw. - - .-J % 7 ^ HOW TO FARM. ^ ^An old tlm« friend s»k» us to ‘'coiIW Up make a rpeech to our Club and , Hi H«W To Farm. 1 ’ While fully appreciating the Implied compliment we respectfully beg to be excuaed, for two reasons J The club U too {ar beyond our range, and It la farely wiae In an editor to lay aside pen ' and pencil and trurt hla tongue. If cur friend will permit we will Area few Jong.range thoughts, and If be tblnki them worthy of consideration he can amplify and enligh'en hU club, and If valueless consign them to bis waste basket. From our standpoint the cotton farm ers of the South have taken the wrong foad-and too many of them are unwil ling to get In another. They are ac customed to its roughness and can gtand It sonrtehow or other, but they are afraid or ashamed to haul down the calico flag To make money is the prime purpose of too many of us, pa per and practical farmers, and for that / reason the money crop gets the best of everything and the home support crops have to put up with the leavings. Of course with money all sorts of happi ness can be bought, from millinery Store “creations to dispensary spirits, yet there are others, that can be se cured by toll and thought and without the assistance of crop lien and bill of sale crutches. To us farming appears to he about the only decent, respectable occupation remaining that Is not over-crowded, and one in love wlt.i country life or even merely reconciled to it needs only to thl^’k ahead and act accordingly to make life worth living. The coun try home, whether bright with paint or brown with sunshine, with shades and song birds, flowers and musical poul try yard, full barns and sleek stock is nearer like Heaven In Its prettiness than all live Crick and mortar that men can build Into palatial magnificence To make the country home attractive Is to give better school teaching than Is at Clemson or Wlnthrop, and ^e who grow up contentedly lt| speh undings are bettor men and truer than the unsettled classes are hedged In and wari>«d ^■ s by all the heartless con tin of city existence—we UmlJ and 1s merciful to his beasts Is a better man In the sight of his maker than the whole tribe of politicians, or all the red handed soVUiery ol the nation. And the woman who sings old lime hymns as she discharges tin dally tasks of toll and cures w ith kisses the wounds of her little ones Is far. nearer kin to the angels than the crow tied queen of the proudest realm on Karih. Hut enough of such sentiment, al though it is all true and we are not ashamed to say It. Let us get back .to the subject. Oocslt not strike you, dear reader, that we have come to Hie parting of the ways, so far as our old agriculture i« concerned? The cotton crop of the HotiUi has of late years produced more mortgages than money lor It makers. And the end is not yet. Kxpanaion of its culture Is by no means ended. 11 is atm spreading toward the suu set of our latul. It Is coming beyond the ^Caucasus, where Russia holds the larg «»t |>easantry on the globe, and Dark est Africa is being opened with rail road rapidity that cotton may be pro vided for European consumption. And when these things come to pass, and they are so sure to be as that time rolls on, the price will drop until the remembrance of live cents cotton will be a tradition of the good old times to which all peoples have looked back with longing. -The pauper hordes of TO ALE COTTON GROWERS: • We received yesterday morning With request for publleation in today’s Issue a pledge addressed as above from 18 cotton growers of RlackvIHo ’fownsblp binding tlitfmselvoe not to sell any cot ton during tbe season of 1809 to local buyers or merchants' and giving their reasons therefor* We are sorry that it did not reach us soonef, aa with two columns 9f new advertisements to set and only half our rogular force at work It will be irnpos* slble to publish tt before next week. Great Scott! In enumerating South ern political leaders opposed to Hryan’s renomlnatleii next year, The St. IkhiIs Globe-Democrat names one South Car olinian, C. S. Slnkler, "who Is consider ed ar regiment In himself lu a political light.” The American Hen Is a numerous money msker out West. 41 Lsst week three special freight trains carried sev enty cars of eggs from Kansas to the East. The shlpmenCfonsIsted of 10,• 080.010 eggs, and at the wholesale price of 10 cents a dozen amounted to fld.'JOO picked up by tbe farmers. \ More troops are to be raised for ser vice In the Philippines. This time a colored regiment officered bv white regulars Is to be given a place in the picture. 'Igpo colored battalions of regular troops,have done valiant fight ing there. They stand the tropical climate much better than the white soldiers do. The greatest corn crop ever made from the Mississippi River to the Rocky Mountains is now ripening on 1(2,000,(XN) acres. Kansas alone has made ;MS),(SS»,(SS) bushels, and farmers are selling it lor IS cents present delivery and contracting to deliver on January 1st for 21 cents per bushel.

I* it not time then to begin to set our houses in order for the hard times coming? We hear the complaint every year that labor becomes more inefficient and that it Is already In the neighborhood «f worthlessness. The abandoning of cotton culture as the one thing needful will forcra scattering of the tribes and •olve the labor problem. In the light er and less exacting agricultural pur suits that wlW follow Improved imple ments will come Into play and one man under an umbrella will do the work of At tbe begriming of the season there was much talk of reduced aciesge Since the crop waa planted and stand secured, there has hton the most unfa vorshle weather and from all aectlon* of the cotton belt reports agreed that the crop would Le short on account of weather conditions. On account of these report*, cotton growers anticipa ted belter price* and it w as the impres sion that the demand would probably exceed the supply. - Strange as it may ap|>ear, all these unfavorable report*, which were to the advantage of the producer, amount to nothing, simply because a certain Mr. Nelli says (hat the crop will amount to 12,000,(100 bales. •. , Who Is Mr. Neill, of New Orleans, that by the sweep of a pen can reduce the value of the cotton crop 125,000,000?
