Six Oo'iit C?ttojnl"itcttcvfVIinn T wei vc Cont Cotton. Sometime Pgoa two horse ten ant said : "I tell you, I believe that 6-cont cotton is better Xor the farmer than 12-cent cotton." Wo asked him to explain him self. Ho said : "You see when cotton is 12 cents tho farmer, especially ii' he is a poor sort of one, will plant all of his best ground in cotton. He will put the poor edges in corn and not manure it, and if he is pushed, as he always is with a big cotton crop, he will neglect his corn crop. When fall comes it takes all of his 12 cent cotton to pay for guano, clothing and supplies. Tlie first of January linds him with about corn enough to last till the iirst of Mareil, a few half-starved cat tle around tho lot, a sack of western Hour in the pantry and a little piece of white western meant hanging up in the kitch en. When cotton is six cents, if the farmer has any sense at all, ho will raise corn, sorghum syr up, potatoes, oats, wheat, hay, fodder and garden truck in abun dance with some to spare. When his 0-cent cotton is gathered and Ilia guano bill paid, the balance of the money is clear. He can then lay in clothing, sugar, cof fee and farming untensils for another year and be independent of liens and mortgages." I)o the farmers who read the Spartan agree with this tenant? Do they believe he is correct in his conclusions? He lias surplus syrup to hire forty days hoeing next summer. His surplus corn will help buy clothing, migar and coffee. Now, if you incline to the opinion that it is bettor to raise your supplies than buy them, or do without, begin at oiico to plan for your'small grain crop. Oats, especially the hardy varieties, may be sown tip to ?irst of No vember. Sow for an abundant wheat crop, liaise everything you need. Do not dopiend on the store for everything. Bo in dependent and self-supporting and thou you will prosper.-Oar olina Spartan. -?<>>? Don't buy sugar, coffee, Hour or molasses till you interview me. A. J. Bristow.

Thc Marlboro Teacher's Council will hold its next meeting at MeColl on Sat urday, November 12, 1892. It is earnestly desired that ns many of tho teachers as possible bo present. Tho object and aims of the Counoil aro of such a character that no teachor, who fecbi nn innate desire to do more for those over whom he wields such vastiniluences, cannot bo strengthened. lt is a singular faot that, out of the largo number of common school teach ers in Marlboro county, not owe attends these monthly meetings. Is it possible that they who teach the/greater part of tho public funds are so indifferent to thc work that they will not attend those meetings for the elevation of the teacher's profession ? No plea con ba advanced that tho sal aries do not justify their efiort. It is an organization without a Trensuror. Aro you waiting for higher salaries, yet doing nothing to merit them? Were the $3 00 poll tax to become incorporated as a part of our school law, and public schools continued for six months in tho year, ninny of the so-called teachers would have to fall out of rank?, behause of their incompe tency to do tho work. Then, let us as teachers show to tho school natrons of Marlboro that wo aro fully alivo to tho work entrusted to our caro, and fo3tor every institution that tends to tho advancement of this im portant work. Somo good speaker will bo present to address tho Council. Teachor?, it is with you what this Council shall bo. P?DAGOGUE. October 31, 1892.

Brooks, of Paris, Illinois, in tho K. of L. Journal, says: "Why is it that religions pa pers are, so many of them, eager to seize tii^oii opportunities to say spiteful, imoharitabJe and often untruthful things in dis paragement of organized labor V ' My answer to your question is : Because the olmrcb is the enemy of the common laborer instead of a friend to him, as was Jesus the Christ. It is said in the Bi ble that "tho common people heard Him gladly,'5 and follow ed Him in such crowds that they "trode one upon another." They followed Him because they found Him a friend to the masses. And I wish to say without fear of contradiction, that tho gov ernment, society and the church are all the enemies of tho poor, the unfortunate and tho crimi nal of our country. There are some honorable exceptions to this indictment, but with tho church it is the exception where it ought to be the rule. We have a class government, a class society and a class church. The preachers and a few representa tive laymen are wont to go to conventions and conferences and there to discuss "How shall we roach the masses?" When the truth is-the church dosent want to reach the masses. If it did, it would do it. How does the politician reach the masses? By going to them. Why does he roach tho masses? Because he believes that one man's vote is as good as another's. And when the church ?on?lu?les that Olio man's soul, in as good . anothols'a, tno?ij :vnc? nuu tili then, will it roach the masses. The church is after those who have financial and social inilu enees. If some one with great linancial ability comes into the church it constitutes suflioient excuse for a long newspaper article, but if a poor man or wo man comes into the church it casts a gloom over the whole congregation. And I have known a few persons who were poor on joining the church break up a great "revival." Here is an il lustration : A man may die to day who is poor in dollars and cents, but rich in character, and when he is taken to his last rest ing place there are hardly enough to let him into the cold earth. But on to-morrow a rich man may die who is a pauper in char acter and a millionaire in dollars and cents, and when the time comes to take hint to the confines of the tomb every fool in the country will be following him to the disgust of all well regula ted minds-elbowing eachothor trying to see who shall show the most respect. A poor man steals $20 worth to keep away the wrolf of starvation, and he goes to the Eonitentiary for five years. A ank cashier steals $10,000 and goes "scotfree." In tile great struggle between the bond hold er and bread winner the church lias always been on tho side of tho strong. The church has stood by and watched the cor morant land thieves and money sharks of this and other nations take the people's land and burn the people's money; introduce a financial system that is fast re ducing us to a nation of paupers. All this the church has watched without saying one word in favor of tho weak. , Tho whiskoy bnsinoss in Savan nah is ono of tho moat important foaturosin tho tradoof that city. Wo aro told by tho Morning JNCVJS tho annual receipts of ono of its crack saloons amounts to $50,000, and that tho drinking at this placo "does not start :activoly until about 8:30 o^clook, but from, that timo until about midnight, and sometimes af tov, tho barkeopors aro kept on a steady jump attending tho wants of customors." And tl\oy say that Savannah is ono of tho soberest towns in Goorgia. Thc liioii ?iiiw. A great fleal has been said, from time to timo,, about tho ropoal of tho lien law. Different views aro ontortainod on the subjeot of its re peal, some advocating, while others oppose. And tliere aro doubtless cogent reasons both for and against its repeal ; but at prosont, as wo soo it, tho preponderance is in fa vor of tho law. The repeal of what is known as tho "Agricultural Lion Law." would not affect tho credit business, so long as tho law regulating ohat tel mortgages remains as it is. In stead, of executing a lion, tho per son applying for oredit would bo required to give a mortgage on his prospectivo crop. What would bo tho result? Why, simply to put tho Honor moro completely at tho mercy of his creditor by taking away from tho impartiul officers of tho law tho euforcomont of tho lion upon a broach of itsconditiou and subject his hard earnings to - soizuro by irresponsible ago nts pri vately appointed by tho mortngoo, who, too, in many instances, might bo fiuanoially irresponsible. At present, when tho lienee attempts to enforce his lion, ho is required to give bond with good sureties to answer to tho Honor for all dam- . ages caused by an illegal siozuro. But thoro is anothor and strong er reason lor tho continuance of the law at tho prose ut. timo. So long ns our homestead and oxomp tion law inhibits tho lovy Of $1,000 worth of land and $500 of porson al property , tho ropoal of tho lien law, involving tho necessary ohaugo in tho chattel mortgage. Jaw above indioated to make it oflect ivo, would practically amount to dohyiugored.it to a largo part of our tillers of tho soil. Tho repeal would reduce them to tho condi tion bl (fay ja?'O?ota 'un: ?v???n%x&*s compel thom to becomo howers of wood and drawers of'water for tho well to-do. Whon the chango ia made, let it bo accompanied by tho abolition of our homestead and exemption laws, thus placing every man on an equal footing in tho ?latter of credit. Let us re our to tho law which prevailed prior to tho war, when any and all property owned by a debtor can bo levied and sold for payment of his debts. When this stop is taken,- then and not till thon, should tho poor man bo doprived ot the means of credit. Do not cry out against tho law becuse, in some instances, it may be abused by tho thriftless and tri fling. Tho worthy poor should not bo made to suitor for tho short comings of tho profligate. Credit to somo may bo a curso, but to thou sands it is a necessity and a bless ing.-Keotoee Courier. Po Figures JL?O y Let us see ! Two women had 30 chickens each, willoh they took to market. They agreed to divide equally tho prooeeds of their salo. One sold her chickens 2 for a dollar, getting for the 30 chick ens $16. The other sold hers 3 for a dol lar, getting for her 30 chickens $10. This made $25 realized for the 60 ohickens. The merchant called on to di vide the money said : "You sold your 30 chiokens, 2 for a dollar, and you sold your 30 chickens 3 for a dollar. That makes 60 ohiokens at tho rate of 5 for 2 dollars. Well, 5 into CO goes 12 times and twice 12 is 24. Thjjt makes $24 your ohickens have brought.'1 But as shown above, the wo men aotually had $25 in pocket. And yet the merchant's ligures were right. Do figures lie ?
