WIUT A LAZY MAN MB
The Carolina Spartan give* an in-
tere ting epitome of a rpeech deliver*
de in i^partanburg not long ago by
Mr C C Moore, president of the
Cut ton Association of North Carolina.
Mr Moore told altout the laziest
nun in his state'
He was a cotton farmer.
He believed in cotton and planted
little else.
He kept getting poorer and poorer.
1 he cotton crop got lighter and
lighter.
I hiead of making both ends meet
at 1 he end of the year, he had no ends
to bring together and no means to
fasten them.
His children had scanty c’othes.
There were no books and papers
and no time to go to school.
Mr Moore said that he visited him
at hie home and took dinner with
him, several years after h? quit cot
ton.
8irange to say, this lazy man had
a well furnished house, neatly dreawd
children, an elegant dinning room
ana a dinner that was not to be for
gotten, nearly all of which was
produced on the farm.
Alter dinner be walked out to the
barn and there he saw more signs of
the inuTs laziness.
He had a splendid barn and fine
it cs but he was actually too lazy to
open the doors of the stalls and water
his animals.
He had a watering fountain in
every stall.
All he had to do was to turn a
spigot when the fountain was empty.
He was too lazy to throw hay and
fodder from the loft and distribute it
iu the stalls. --
He made a sort of funnel out of
strong fencing wire in a corner of ev
ery stall and the lazy lellow would
chuck in a hundrded or more pounds
of hay and horse could eat as long
as it lasted.
None would be wasted.
When he raised nothing but loot*
ton he would slip off to the creek
Saturday afternoon and wash the
dust auddirt off and dry on the bank.
He had only a few towels then.
But he had beoome eutirly too lazy
to go to the creek to wash.
He juet walked into aj bath room
and turned on hot or cold water as
be desired and got into a porcelain
tub.
Be then had two towels to'dry his
body instead of none, as in the old
ootton days
The lazy fellow hrd also pot water
in the kitchen so that wife and
daughters did not have to go to the
well, or throw waste water ont of
the window.
lie was very lazy man indeed, and
wished to save steps and to take all
the burdens off his wife and dangh
ten.
Be was too lazy to teach his ohil*
dren, so he supplied them with books
and magaizinet and mnt his daugh
ters to a oo> lege in Charlotte and his
boys to other schools and colleges.
Such is the sketch of Mr Moore’s
laziest man*
How ma^y such lazy men have ws
in South Carolina? Would it not be
well, the Spartan asks, if they could
be counted by the hundreds in every
oonnty?

FAVORS FARMERS UNION.
Ruffin, Nov. 1. Special: Mr.
Editor, if I am not mistaken, I saw
a piece in your paper a few weeks
Kgo where you were going to get
some of the organizers to come
down and’organize Colleton fanners
into a union. This is a grand and
noble step you are taking. Those
who read and can understand know
that Fanner’s Union is the strongest
organization in America to-day, and
has accomplished more good than
any other body of men. Can’t you
get President Barret to come and
give us a rally? 1 suggest the first
Monday in December for a meeting
if you can succeed in securing an
organizer.
May you continue your good work,
and may many hymns be sung at
your funeral.

CONTROLLING THE PRICE OF COTTON
R’ght now is the time for the farm
ers to begin to prepare to control the
price of cotton in the fall of 1909.
For several years the farmers have
tried to set the pnoe on their cotton
alter they have made it, after the
crop was ready for market And
each time they have failed. They
will fail ever? time they try it
-The simple truth of the matter is
that the farmer who produces noth
ing bat cotton cannot regulate the
price of his cotton. He is forced to
sell ootton to buy supplies for his
farm and to pay debts, and being in
that position he is forced to take
whatever the buyer offers him.
There is no help for it.
But the firmer who raises his own
supplies, and raises cotton as a snr
plus, can take his own time about
selling his ootton. If the prioe of
fered him in the fall docs not tnit
him he can wait until it does auit
him. And if he does not owe money
there ia no power on earth to make
him cell hit cotton when he does not
want to do ao.
And now is the time to mak pre-
paratioas for control ling the prioe of
next year’i ootton crop. It is time
to sow grain, to start deep fall plow
ing, to build terraoes, to build
manure pens and fill them with dead
leaves, to do a eoore of things around
the farm that will pot the farm in
better condilion and make it more
productive next year v
To pot it plainly, the farmer who
spends the whole fall season grnmb
ling about the price of cotton will in
all likelihood have to do the same
thing next pear. * ?
Complaints alone never righted
auy wrong, however great the wrong.
The farmers can control the prioe
of cotton but they cannot do it by
talking. To regulate it they must
commence s Tear ahead, and now it
the time to commence if they, want
to control the price next year.—
