MARKEl' QUOTATIONS
We are glad that this su'hject
lis been agitated.. We feel that its
agitation will be of interest to all1
those citizens of the CouiIty, who
have the opportuility of reading
(eithel' the MEsseN&Eu or the "Sen

rary in reply to the article onil "Our
Market"-found in last week's
issue 01 THE MESfEN GE-ss
that it will prollise' to (10 hetter
next tiie. We have noticed with
plelasure that the % Wiutinel" quotes
along with th' Charleston al
GreInville imarkets those of Pick
enlS and Easley . Such all in ser
tion a; the "Sentinel" has made of
the market-, evidently hos had the
tendlency of gracing its coliilns.
It gives new interest to olr readers,
and may imlbue some of them with
the Spiint of ho mie patroiage. If
it, does that, it is well that the Col
troversy has foumd its existciee.
In arlwer to the questions which
Wulr Ieiglnhor' has propoumlded, we
would state in repjy, that from the
assoned premises. :a coclusiol
w\(111(1 be drawn that would -he

as the "'Sentineul" has made regar

ty and Easley have gone to the ex
penJse of advecrtising. Thirnae
have beeni brought before the pub1 -
lie, and thle opportuniiiit ies they of:
for' have beeun made knowun to oui
cit izens. W ill not the "Sentinel'
admit that sayiung four-fiftifs of th(
c'otton goes to Greenville, is ex ag.
gerating the limits too much ? . Jf i1
will take the trouble to look init
the matter, we think itumight per
woul be1 nealtlreir the correct limits.
We wou1ld say ini conclusioni, thal
if four-fifths of the cotton alnd
trde go to Greenville, that thes<
should he all tihe greater reasons
why we should1( advocate our owr
markets, and keep our trade at
home, if we can offer almost equal
advantages. Let us see to it

THE FARMERS' MASS MEETING.
This is the altogether inappro
lpriate name assigned to a meetinri
the.Coirt. It has attracted much
at tention thoughout the State, and
ha,4s1 beeln made the object of severe
criticism by the press. We think
it due the c 1itizens ofPickens Coun
ty, who, Illd(eServiiglV, have
beei charged, with Colmlulinisli,
tha'it w 'e shoul state for their bene
tit, their true positioll III regard to
this imeetiing. III defence of the
repltatioll of oir people, we take
plasure ill saying that it waS not
a Mass .Me.ting of the i'farners
whenl we. cons-ider how manly therle
aIre-h-1)t, that, the meeting was
called by a few mcn, attelile(d by
