To make this crop required seven tons of fertilizer, costing $200, feed for mule and $100 for extra hand, besides,, the cropper, who gets -half of 16 acres of cotton and half of 7 arces of corn.

The cotton, bis mule and mine, at eight cents will pay for the exepenses of making It, leaving a margin for taxes and waste. But suppose I store this cotton, .

W. B. King, ex-Bheriff of Anderson county and former police chief of the city, la a candidate for sargeant-at arms of the House of Representatives, a position which will be filled by the lower branch of the Legislature upon the convening of the General Assem bly -on Tuesday. Mr. King stated yesterday that he entered the race at the solclUtatlon of friends and that he had received assurances of support from friends and acquaintances and many who are not acquaintances, and that he feels he has a good chance of being elected to the position he seeks. In his campaign for the position of sergeant-nt-arms of the hduse, Mr. King has not traveled over the State for the purpose of consulting various persons of influence as the remuner ation of the office does not warrant such. Mr. Iv'ing has. however, address ed letters to membors of the House and others throughout the State In forming them that he' is a candidate for this particular office. He has not asked any of those to pledge him their support, but merely requested them to withhold pledging themselves to the support of any one man until he could have an interview with them. Mr. King stated yesterday that he would go down to Columbia today or tomorrow In the interest of hla campaign. That Anderson's welt known and popular ex-sheriff is out for this po sition will be of interest to his many friends throughout the county. He was Mm and reared in this*county and has always lived here. For years he figur ed conspicuously In public life of the city and county, and no man who ever held public, office here 1b more popu lar with the rank and file of the peo ple. Big hearted, practical and affable, but stern and exacting In the dis charge of duty, when the occasion re quires, he would make an Ideal ser jeant-at-arms. And many are there who would be delighted to see him se cure the appointment. ' Mr.'King stated that he is opposed tv some three or four others for the same position. The position is to be filled immediately upon ihe conv?niak of the Legislature, which will be on Tuesday. "Gentlemen: Am glad you like my article on 'Debtors Holding Cotton.' The man whom my father said I most resembled in looks and disposition was my uncle, WIU? oui Rives, a gamb ler and duelist, dying under a gamb. ler's table but taking his opponent along with him to heaven's bar. From him I got, my views of the situation, though he died tweuty years before my.birth. His motte was, 'Pay your debts at whatever sacrifice required; rour-adversary is not responsible for your lack of Judgment.' "Now, the' farmers' gambled on the crop of cotton being thirteen million bales and the price 14 cents. Th? crop Is nearer sixteen miiiton naicB and. the price seven cents. ' They should pay .their gambling debt? 'their creditors are not responsible for their lack of Judgment.' Every lock of cotton I make shall be. di vided with my creditors. If it does not pay, each will have to wait for his share of the balance, but they everyone shall-be paid as soon as possible. To that end I.am cutting off every luxury that has to be bought, using'my money from railroad wageB for paying of gathering of my crop and making last year's clothes do for this, both for myself and family. Oth ers should do likewise. Excuse the length -of the letter. I Just wan tod you to know my position, and reason for the aame."
