Many this year will not make ex penses, and will find it diffiicult to make convenient arrangements for another year. Not only is the cotton crop short, but also the provision crop: hence we urge all who care to plant liberally of small grain and fertilize well. To add to the misfor fan-s of a short crop cholera has cat oft the supply of meat in many in stances.

Oct 27—Editor Press and Standard: It is time, I think for me to make the acquain tance of oar new editor. I wonder if he has a welcome for me, thoogh I am so seemingly negligent in pre senting myself to him. Pressure of bnsiness most be my excuse, and lack of news worthy of being presented to the pnblio, and— most 1 really confess it? I wanted to see if any one would miss me and in’ quire ior me. “One” did and soothed my wounded vanity, and I shall ever retain a warm place in memory’s casket for the inquirer. Cold weather has returned to us, bolidsvs are over, work has began in earnest, so correspondents come to the front, and let us hear from you* I miss the bright and interesting letters. “Country Cousin,” the laithful one, pats ns to shame lor being so regular with her communi cations. Let all write now, like good children. Our town was well represented at the State Fair, Messrs Rumph, Brown, Havenel and Box, attended, and judging trom their bright faces they had put in a good time. (By the way, they had left the Mesdames at home or they would have enjoyed the fair more.) Mrs Dowling Dodd and daughters •pent last week’s end at Oottageville. Ma Lawrence Meanervy returned borne Thursday alter spending a very pleasant week with her parents, Mr •nd Ma Pink Martin. Little Bafhs Tuten, a bright little boy about thirteen months old died Jest Monday. His parents, Joe Tuten hind to live so as to join bim when thev too are called home. His life was short here like a sum mer flower, but fragrance will livp in the hearts of those who knew him May God comfort the bereaved parents in this sorrow. More Anon.

To the qualified voters of Colleton County: Yes we owe a duty to our* i selves, our children, our neighbo r and his children, our country, and our God and if we could get self out of the way we could see our duty to others, and no doubt vote more intel ligently on questions that relate to our interest 1 am for the exemption and have never been otherwise, the idea of high price beet and but little of it, canses me to be more in favor of an exemp tion that will protect both classes of our people, that juicy beefsteak that we have in our section of the county, raised on the fine* summer grass of our section of the county where stock run at large, satisfies our people that we are not ready lor stock law that encloses our stock in small lots and pastures. I wish my good friend, J 1) Ackerman, oould have taken break fast with ms this morning. I oould have given him a sample of the fine steak that we have up at Sniders raised in the woods, and we get any part of the beef delivered at oar door for five and six cents per pound and never costs us over seven par pound and great droves of cattle are taken from oar section every year to help supply Orangeburg, Bamberg and Barnwell counties with beef, also Charleston and Columbia getj a car load occasionally, and our people realise a profit by raising cattle that ran at large and they know it That’s why they want the exemption law that will protect us and help ns to not only raise plenty of good Jcheap beef for our homes, but to help to satisfy the apptttU of the gooS pioplt that live in tbs stock law oonntiss, where beef is high and almost as scarce as hen's teeth, tohy do these people oome down into the exempted portion of OoHston county for beef csttls if its cheaper to raise them in stock law? Mr Ackerman sa>s that only selfish men want to interfere with others rights, and that stock at large is a corse, and a nuisance to any community. Now I don’t know who Mr Ackerman refers to as being •elfish and interfering with other people’s rights. Most assuredly ite not we people around Sniders, for we don’t object to anybody grazing stock on onr uninclosed land. Neither do we want to interiere with the rights of any person. We believe that God preated the grass in the woods for onr stock to eat^ and we think that we have a constitutional right to fence ourselves into one big pasture, and if we do so at onr expense, we are not interfering with the rights of others, and if we should have a selfish stock law man inside the exemption we can fenoe off from bim or them and not touch their land either. Now stock at large may be a curse to some communities, but it’s not so with us, it’s a blessing to ns, it helps ns to have plenty of beef for home ok and some to sell to our friends stock law counties. Stock law means with with most of farmers one oow, sbnt np in a lot or tied out to the stake with no calf. It’s very little beef for s lot of people and none at all for some folks. Bettor not try stock law yey awhile. We mast drain onr low lands and get more land into cultivation, and then to raise stock we must fence onr lands, and then stock law may suit u« better, buc not now. The firming interest is not emenmbered in this community by stock rnnning at large. W. 0. Brant Gettioger, 8. OL, Got 20. * see to it that the interest of his peopl* are protected. The producers bevog the backbone in supplies to the world, they should have the right so to Jive >n equal respectability. They have the stock law in dia- cuasion, and there will be great dif cord and much evil produced, wo matter how it is terminated under tbe present circumstances. J D Yarn* J. D. Vara Writea latsraatlagly. . Editor Press and Standard: It seems that the people of the South have become, by some canse, a dis satisfied people, and why? Is it for the sake of greed or speculation. Is it that they do not make a sufficient living? Is it the lack of Christian faith? Is it Lucifer turned loose for a little season for a vexation of the spirit? In the spring time we see the farmers running to and fro* borrowing money, putting in supply bills, baying fertilis rs to such an extent, as though the world was to be at an end, and that it was the last year to live it. I wonder if they ever count the cost. Experience has taught that when commercial ferti hzert are used to an extent year after year that there will have to be an in crease of it used in order to produce the required results. Experts say that three hundred pounds per acre on ordinary good land is enough, aud is all that the growing truck will take, (that is for cotton aud corn) put at the proper time for the bear ing of the fruit, and any more than that will run the track to too mach •Ulk, rad the coneeqaence U th.t. ^ handle jour financial (Sun, le* fruit in prop.rt.on to the ooet, l toh .„. ^ winK balance ^/ capeciallj ao when it it all pnt at the j ng jon, neoetearj expenaea. time of planting.

It isu’t because he doesn’t moke the money, for the average man is ks- dustrionsjand has earned from to $15,<-00 in the past ten years It is because be doesn’t give much serious thought either to his income or to bto outgo. Serious thought would teach him the true value o'a dollar; them he would spend carefully and aiva steadily. That system soon placet a man ahead of othera.
