Buy a bale. — Meigs 0. Frost, in the Galveston News. The suggestion of Mr. Hal Still, Blackville, that the legislative delega tien from this county meet with the fanners and other citizens at the Court House for the purpose of discussing the present cotton situation to the end that they may go into the extra session with some definite idea of the wishes of our people is a good one and we hope that the representatives from this county will see fit to call such a meeting. Our correspondent suggested that we name the date, but we think the delegation itself should do this, deciding upon day that would be most convevient to the members and the people of the county at large. Whatever is done along this line must be done at once, as the extra session of the legislature convenes October 6th less than two weeks hence. Our col umns are open for the publication such a call. of Over in Georgia many farmers say that they can pay out of debt with cot ton at 8 cents a pound because they have raised most of their feedstuffs and foodstuffs at home. There is an excellent moral in this and one which we hope our farmers will profit by next year. Live at home and let the other fellow worry. “He was in a gray suit, a broad brimmed black soft hat, a very red bow tie and a pink striped silk shirt. In that shirt was a diamond, screwed in tightly. There were diamonds in his cuff links and a ring flashed on a finger of his left hand," says the New York Herald, in describing Governor Bleose while on a trip to gay and giddy Gotham last week. Surely this is not our “Colie,” the self-styled “poor man's” friend, he who abhors the vulgar ostentation of the new-rich! Were it not for the “broad brimmed black soft hat" we would be tempted to believe that our esteemed contemporary had been gross ly fooled by a rank imposter. According to the Herald, he was at the Waldorf-Astorta, one of the high est priced hotels in the city of New York. We have no doubt that the farmers who have cotton for sale would haqe a higher 3”;nion qf thi§ “champeen" of tfieir rights if he had used sortie of th6 money that went for the purchase of diamonds, etc., in relieving them of a few bales of distess cotton. Many manufacturers are-substituting cotton for hemp in making coverings for their output. This is a good plan and if universally followed will open up a market for many thousands of bales of cotton. We hear on every hand expressions in favor of a reduced cotton acreage next year. This sounds good and we hope that such resolutions are not like early morning headaches—soon for gotten. FACTS AND FANCIES FROM FAIR FAIRFAX A Chicago breakfast cereal company has informed the State department of agriculture that in addition to ordering all their Southern representatives to buy for their account a bale of cotton each at ten cents a pound, they had placed a large order for fee Muffs bags of cotton, the first delivery to be 1,000,- 000 bags. Better and better. From all over the Union come encouraging re ports of the spread of the buy-a-bale movement and new sources of demand are being opened nearly every day. The farmers themselves could help some bv using cotton cloth for bagging instead of jute bagging, as at present. This would utilize many thousands of bales and would make a neater finished product.

Hammond, of Spartonburg, in a letter to The State, suggests the “buy-a-bolt of-cotton” plan to solve the present cotton problem, arguing that the merchant is already heavily loaded with cotton goods - and that in order to create a demand the farmers shotrid go into the market. While this iaall very well in its way, Mr. Ham en tirely the fact that ■vary little money and will not hare any unleu notion bringsjen cents.
