Mr. BbsImm^SImi Mtd Mr. Farmer: What are you doing to get ready for the* lip^Willwt crisis. If M should come; which will be caused by m du- avas* the price of cotton or inability to sell? In time of pence prpepare for war, and before the crisis comes get ready for it. CoHctoa county’s mom*j crop Is cotton. Should that be sacriiced there^'ViH be great loss la ooery basini ns. , If the crop this year in the county reaches 18,000 boles, and jndglag from the 'oouditkui of the crop this number, qt bales will he reached, at 19 r^ats a p^aad will mean approximately 81,000,00(1. With that amount of money turned loose la the asual avenues of business > In Colleton, there would he great tin social prosperity. Lose even a ->pai t of thfempd there will be 8asocial stringency. V* Mr. Farmer,‘to market your cotton crop you need a wr rehouse system. To obtain ample warehouse facilities will require pome cspltsl, but it will be money well spent. Suppose the farmer* «f (he County shoald subscrib.* to the capital stork of a warehouse system for the county one-tenth of their cotton crop would It hot be the b^st Investment they ever made Huppose “A” will make IO bales of cotton. Without a warehouse he % , ' «c e * » 4 . might, snd possibly will, I* forced to ncil his cotton for what he enn get *, rf i o, '9 few it. f.et us suppose the most he nmkl get woulil be 10 rents, his IO bales would bring $500.00. Now, If by |iro|ieriy warehousing his cotton he can get a loan of to rents tor it, he ran get the same $500.00 jyid will l * ° » ' * retain aa interest in his cotton which migltt mean 2, 3, 4 or pcrha|>s 5 rents a (nhiihI. Mr. “A” ran. -theri’forr, take 800 or even 8100 in stock of a warehouse to store his cotton. Figure it out, Mr. Farmer, it is easy. The cotton crop ran then be marketed gradually, and the price maintained. Now, we arc n«»t writing this just to see how it will grace the editorial l»agc of the Press and Standard, hut we trust If will serve as a call to nrn:*.

Brother is arrayed against brother, father agathst- son. neigh bor against neighbor and friend against friend. Hatred is in the 'htart* of many South Carolinians, ami a desire to see other South Car olinian* fail. The'fair name of the proud ralmetto State has trailed in the mud, and it will take years to bring about peace, harmony and good will again. Friends aVe es tranged who will never get back to gether. Sad and pitiful picture. And for what? Why are the peo ple thus stirred? For whose bene fit? Will it benefit t;;e people? Hardly/ but will it not benefit the political demagogues who stirred the passions of the people? They were the office seeker*, after the honors and emoluments of office—the peo ple and their interests be damned.
