MR. PRICE'S OFFER AS A .
REFLECTION ON THE '

IGENCE.
a
(iY fetter to The State from a four j'
horse farmer of Society Hill, S. C ) '
The recent advertisement in your *
paper l>y Theodore IN ice advisinu
merchants and farmers to let their j
cotton go to New York to be deliver
ed dn December contracts shows that
he considers us of small intelligence, i ,
r
Certainly our merchants and farm j,
ers know that it is nut his intention v
to aid them in obtaining higher ^
prices for the cotton they are now
holding, but evidently his intentions! |
to relieve himself of the chance of a
December squeeze, wine.1.will result
in his having to go into the market
and buy his cotton for delivery upon ?
those cent -acts at a price which the ^
owner oi e itton is willing tj take fur u
it. Exactly what the cotton holder L
needs, for it will result in a lietter (
price now while that demand is being ^
suppuca. C
Let no holder of cotton imagine ?
that Mr. I'rice is spending all this
money in advertising or in sending n
out letters and telegrams for the
holder's benefit. He is iiardly so ^
charitable, but is probably trying to
shift his contracts ito oilier liauds and >
when lie has succeeded in this in w ill ^ !i

Just figure you arc getting 25c, 50c c
$1 per week less. You won't notice it. v
Your emplover will respect you more
and increase your salary willingly, \
Take our advise and you'll pat yourself
on the back in a few years.
Kspeciaily if you have a chance to p
make a hundred by investing the *HO0
saved.

so kindly advised his friends to put up
against sales and ulTer the furlhe r
advice to buy more and help him in
the great charity of laising the price
for tlie Southern farmer.
This advertisement of Mr. Price's
is to tlie mind of the writer the most
favorable indication of a change in
the course of the matkcl for it indi I
cates that he needs help, and it is to <
be hoped that he needs help, and it is
to he hoped thai no cotton holder wilj t
tie deceived thereby into he'ping to (
depress the price of cotton.
This is nut written because of any }
interest of the writer in the "future <
