8. A JiUOlFN ? - - Editor, Wednos??y, February 19, ?896. DE YB NOT DECEIVED, IIoro*of lato wo luivo liad a great deal to say to our tanner friends in rojgard to the doorcase of thc acroagc to ho planted in cotton this year, and roally some times feel that we havo had too much to say, as thoy are men of brain and should know what thoy are doing. AU that wo have said or may hereafter say Ima been and shall ever ho for your good. When tho,farmer is prosperous every ono else is pros perous also. Tho farmer is the baokbone of this country and when ho fails overy other business feels tho result of his fall. There is no question hut that wc havo been de luded by false statements and gross misrepresentations in regard to this cotton . problem ; but admitting that tho enormous crops purported to have been made in years past, there is no doubt in our mind but that these false reports and misrepresen tations have caused tho dcorcaso in tho price of cotton. Years ago cotton was worth 10 and ll cents a pound, and to-day the same cotton would not bring moro than 7 or 8 cents. This is wrong. Tho faot though summed Up in a nut shell is this : Tho fluc tuation in thc market is caused by tho reported receipts at tho central cotton market headquarters, and from this report, whether correct or falso, tho farmer cannot appeal and must take what ho is offered or can got for his cotton. Tho time has como for every intelligent mind to go to thinking and acting. This low pri?o will continuo until the end of time if there is a largo crop pro duced year after year. Farmers, why be deceived longer ? It seems to us that you have been experi menting long enough and hoping against hope. The day of salvation with you is to-day, and your most prosperous year is 1896; that is if you will bury your false ideas o? the "moro we make tho moro we will have." Tho.experience of the past has or should have taught you a lesson, but if it has not, then go on and dig your own graves, financially speaking, and weep over tho corpse of your own lifeless and empty pocketbooks. Wo hear it on all sides that more fertilizers than usual have been bought, and that thc cotton crop is to bo increased. Wc have counseled you against this and have endeav ored to show you where you were standing, but it seems that you have been blind, or ol?o ?f reports aro into you liayu hooded us not. \Yv.? mindful of what' wo \itivc a?ro?ut< b'?kl, rouit' .ty., "M to yod itftki.iig you bc ort yon u.-.v. bho?lep to make a larger crop this year, to pause and think awhile as to what will bc tho result. It' is but a short while before you will sow the seed that will bring to your doors a harvest of misery and wretchedness, or on. thc other hand will fill youi pocketbooks with greenback, gold and silver dol lars. If you plant a largo crop, so will you reap. A big crop means a low price and a low prico means want in many o home. I3e wisc and decrease the acreage and thereby increase thc price and your bank account, if you are fortunate enough to have one, and if you havo not this is the only way to get one. We heard a man say the other day that he intended to decrease his crop to 10 acres to the horse. If every farmer would lay aside avarice and do likewise, there would bo bet ter times in Marlboro this fall than hos been known in many years. It will bc coo late to wish you had done so when you are offered 5 and 6 cents for your cotton and are forced to take it this fall. Thc thing and best thing for you to do is to stop even now and look upon the scene. Look back upon the canvas of the past and behold tho fearful picture of no money and hard times. Take warning from thc past, plant less cotton, make fewer debts and grow rich and happy. CONVERSE COLLEGE.

EDITOR : Ploase give mo a little space in your appreciated paper to moutiou some facts about tho land wbiob WOB purohased by tho colored pcoplo of Clio a few years ago when tho great rumor was afloat about tho colored people goiug to Arkansas and other western states. Wo, tho people j of Clio, carno together ?ud orguuI/Ajd au a6soeiation and proposed to buy laud iu this county and raise whatever wo could. At that time money was scarce and times yery hard, aud wo oould not raiso tho amount of cash necessary to purchase tho traot of land wo wanted nt that time. But, to show ; you that any man will bo helped if ho j tries to help himself, wo went to Hon. C. S. McCall, a mau that has good will for all and ill will for none. To him wo made our wants and wishes known, and ho being a mau that has sympathy for tho poor, opened his treasure- and loaned uo money enough to pay for the ] laud, which was $1,000 aud then h< waited very patiently on us until wo| could pay tho said amount back. We ?mooceded in raising 'ho amount abd i (urned ll ,n bini, dud tor day we have the laud paid for. and it was 1 ' indues of Mr. McCall .?? .. pei pie in tho town of Clio own houle* ol thoir own. Wo fool ni a lotvi to Ibid words strong enough to expr?s.? our sincere thanks to him for his kind favors aud gentle dealings with us. We will assure him that it is au event that will bo fresh in our momorio3 until wo have spout our last moments on earth, and wo ask him to ovor fool that wo aro his woll wishers iu his undertakings in this lifo, and when his earthly tabernacle is dissolved, may ho havo a building uot made with hands, but etoru&lly in hoayon. Wo think that's where he ought to go for his lovo to tho poor. Now, iu coucluoion, let me say to the colored pcoplo of Marlboro county that instead of your tramping around from ono state to another, walking through deep sand and climbing high hills, seeking for somo easy place whoro monoy grows on trees, bettor for you to put your shoulder to the wheel of energy in this county and securo homes for yourselves, for "a rolling stouo nover gathers much moss/' No moro excuse. Just try to help yourself and if you ff nd yourself powerless, go to somo good man like Mr.. McCall and you will bo successful in your efforts. Now, see to it for your own sake, your wiyos and your children. Yours respectfully, A. L. IVEY. February 15, 1896.

Tho Fidelity is not th (aol au assess ment company, although il qualifies en der the assessment law in m ei tb avoid the pernicious technicalities ol the ICKUIT reset YO law. Iis premiums are the same each year, and you know exactly what you have to pay. All Its policies contain thc "safety clause," which renders, thc security absolute, and which is in itself a point ot suneriority over companies that do not have it. It has never happened In tho past, anti there is no probability that i! will ever happen in the lutero, th u thc current premiums were not amply sufficient to pay the current losses. 1! such ii con tin gency should ever occur, then the Asso ciation can draw upon its surplus to make up the deficiency. The .sarphi ; now amounts to two-filths m much :is thc total losses for seventeen years. I! lt should ever happen that the current premiums and thc surplus combined should not be sufficient to pay tho current losses, then the safety clause permits thc Association to levy a tem pora fy pro rata assessment to make up th? ihdiclency. Other companies tconld yo into (lui hands of receivers under similar . . /..,,-. But note this difieren ec : Nearly 00 pei cent, of thc net assets ol l?gal-Vcselv? companies is legal resci ve, md thc law does not allow the le-;I fescrv< to! drawn upon to pay euri . nt losses.
