W Shipp of Florsnoe will preside.^ Every farmer In Barnwell Ceuntv can help better the price of cotton bt planting more small grain this aeason than ever before and at tbe same time help hi* own proaperity. For if there should be so much wheat, oats or rye mad* as to glut the marker (an impos sibility) the surplus could be used for raising fat hogs, gnats, sheep or fowl* that will surely sell well. Tbe low price of cotton has almost stopped the sa(e of fertilisers. Dur ing tue last month the tag tax of 26 cents has been paid on only 1,000 tons. For the same tune last year 7,000 tons were sold. During this fertiliser rear the State treasurer has received 9261,• 041 in tag taxes. This money goes to Clemson College, Next year that great school will bare a much smaller income. An ex-fsrmrr who has ridden in his buggy over many miles of country Xi>ad* in the last ten davs tells us that In his cplnlnn one fourth of the cot ton crop Is yet unpicked Up eountiy paper* of last week said that gather ing and ginning there wti] bo com pleted before November goes out.
