That farmer who has only one crop and has to purchase his supplies, or any porHoir of them, is not making the money .fee, Ui ink? he is making. Ev- erythin^ else goes high as cotton goes up.

Every effort shduld be made by every business man in town to keep every legiti mate business transaction at home. Suppose the merchant does not have an article wanted in stock, and the customer who patronizes him for what he does carry in stock, asks that it be ordered, it would be bet ter for that merchant to order It for the customer and let him have it at cost, rather than start the cus tomer making orders for himself. But there are few persons who would expect a merchant to do this work for him for nothing. We have heard of patties being per fectly-willing to pay the merchant 10 per cent on the first cost of the article, and this is 10 per cent eas ily made. But the merchant mu«t show a willingness to be of service to his customers, and not do it grouchly or unwillingly. More food for thought, this Do not. Mr Merchant. he afraid »»y show your customer your price* on these articles l.et him see that you are treaidnx him on the square, and It will pay. n. minimum rate in future will be higher than If has been in the past, about 20 to 25 per ct#?.

We trust that those who are ad- vertining will understand that this is not an arbitrary raise in price, but that it is necessary for the same reason that everything they sell ha< been advanced in'pric e and they, .in, consequence, have to charge more. Our * ffor'is are to make The Pre*- amj Standard more valuable every as an advertising medMm. and the rat/s now in-effect ard none too bigii under normal condition-, to say nothing of the present his pri><: i>,* ; .ailing for everything. , JARPER AHEAD * That Meeting Monday. It is expected that there will be a large attendance upon the mass meeting to be held next Monday, Dec 4. at the Court House, called by the Colleton delegation, for the purpose of discussing with tha peo ple of the entire county matters proper for legislation at the ap proaching session of the legislature. Thia call Is rather unique, and it hag been commended on all sides It is believed that there will be much good to come ot the meeting, and especially will this be true if th.* people of the countv will make it a matter of serious casern, and come prepared to offer sane and practical suggestions for legislation It is no time for the gran with* "an axe to triad," or for him «1io has a grievance, affecting himself only, to aak the gathering to take up its The next thine I did was lay off my plat. I had lost dimension 6 given me by our agent the morning I joined.

I put some lime on niv plat the eleventh of March I waited until the fifteenth of April when I hauled one-half of a ton of manure and scattered that, breaking up all the big lamps. I also sub soiled my plat that day with a sub soil plow. I next laid off my rows three feet apart, and when I set out my plants they were a three foot check, which looked very pretty in deed.
