HOLDING COTTON.
In our Inst issue it will ho rome in
herod wo notieod thc rapid dcoliuo in
colton and advised ths farmers to stop
y ?liing for awhile to check the decline
und rally prices. AVo advised all who
could) to hold, and only sell when
ob ?ged l<> do s> lo meet obligilions
Since that local appeared wo have
been approached and soundly berated
lor want of consistency, und giving
had iidvico to tho ihrmors Want ol
consistency, hecauso in another article
wc urged tho business mon o? tho town
1? build houses for incomers und boom
tho town, nod thou urged tho farmers
to hold cotton for better prices. Where
thc inconsistency ? We fail tosco it.
We wero oleo charged with advising
farmers not to pay their debts. Has
it coin? to this, that when n farmer
holds his produce for such a price as
will give him and his family n surplus
after his expenses aro paid, that he or
wo shall bo charged with advising him
to repudiate his debts ? Now our ad
vice was not to ihjs end, and cannot
ho so co ns truel. Where, aro thc
warehouses in tho country ?nd town
for storage of cotton, and hunks to
nd vaneo upon same, for the farmer
who is obliged to sell ? And right

i?.~\ H ibo merchant would iucet no
del ;. Sow fii?ii?ls, if thc farmer I
hollis bis cotton oil tho mn rice t for
two weeks you would seo it go back
quick to 10 cents. Would not this
pay debts faster, and moro of thom?
Let us figure a little grcou cotton
AV i 11 Io? ? len lbs per halo by keeping.
Interest on a halo of cotton for eight
mouths will be $2.00, storage and in
surance $2.00 for sumo time. This
makes $5.00 expenses to hold a 400
lbs. balo for 8 months, till May 1st,
nt wliich time tho past May it sold
on thcHo streets for ll ? cents. Now
if it brought that tho past season with
such a largo crop as was made, is it
not fair to presumo, with increased
consumption and oven tho snmo crop
this'year, which we hardly grout,
that'cotton nCxt May will sell for ll J
cents. If so, the gain of 1} cents on
a ?100 lbs. bale, will ho $7 00-less
#5.00 expenses, holding same will
givo net gain of 82.00 to th -so oblig
ed to draw upon it all. Now, tho
farmer who does not havo this to do,
Hives his storage nod per ha j s interest
if his inoiiov can't bo lout, say $4.00
moro, gain, and it was to this class
in ro especially rc fei red in our ad
vice, as is soon by reference to thr.t
article.
This is a clear statement of figures
that are not to bo doubted. Now
friends aro too ready to kick, iustond
of coining to tho aid of tho Iii rm or in
building up tho Town and County.
Muko thom ablo buyers hy helping
them to independence, and tho whole
County is boomed, moro goods Bold
and moro fortunes made. Do md.
kill tho Old Goose!
Theil again, suppose you do rricel
soino legitimate delay in collections,
nud ns you pay your business is hurt,
vyhiwe fault is it, but your own V Did
not the action of the farmers all over
tho cotton States lust season proclaim
in munder tones that they would
hold cotton, and you should have
i< anted from that fact to havo l een
prepared for any emergency. But,
lor l'onl' of doing any injury to any
body, with their accustomed censor
v itisin and charity to ali, tho fanners
s rved notice in tho public prints,
from their National Alliance nt St.
Louis, and from the State Alliance,
for all farmers to moko their obliga
tions maturo hito in tho year, not ear
lier; than Doo. 1st, 8> they could
hold their cotton for bettor prices,
without detriment to any othor inter
ests. Now, after this prudont and
fair notice, if any business man foiled
to keep himself posted ns to tho ac
(ion of tho farmers, and has failed to
majco hip hus?ncB8 arrangements to
meet tho oxigonoios of thc citso, and
HO gots ouight, it is his own fault? for i
ho luis been oithcr obtusely ignorant
as Vi his own interest in not reading,!
or been determined to ignore and '
ligltf. tho Fanners Alliance.
-i: Now, after cons dering tho iibovo
?uots wo lenvo it to ?my f?ij?sd??i
man to detormino, if it would bo fair
for tho fnrnior to push bis cotton on
tho market, ami so sutler loss, to ne.
connnodato tboso who aro indepen
dent, ami always make monoy? Wo
are a friend to all classes, and have
cot tho least unkind feolingd toward
tho town, or a singlo business man,
for wo sincerely wish thom succors,
and wish to seo tho town built up, but
it oan never bo dono by illiberal
methods, or bv antagonizing tho far
mers, tho mud sills of all las ing, and
true prosperity.
While wo do not wish to ontago
ni/Ai any interest, it is our purpose to
shuni firm as the champion of tho
fa miers cause, for in their success and
prosperity ties tho success and pros
perity of every other interest. Let
in then bo charitable.
