COTTON INSTEAD OF JUTE.
Tho movement for the use of oot
ton inst( ad. of juto in tho manufac.
ture cf bags, sacks and bagging.,
which was started some monIth ago
by the Cor.cord Farmers Union in
this county, is growing in strength
and popularity.
The movememt was given wide pub.
licity last wcock by the action Ot the
Charleston Wholesale Grocors' asso.
ciation, and the fart-ers of Williams
burg county at their mceting Satur
day adopted resolutions eEdoraing the
demand for the use of cotton bags in
shipping fertilizers.
Mr, E. D. Smith, president of the
State division of the Southern Cotton
association, has gone to Dallas, Texas
to make some speeches in the
campaign for reduced acreage. Ile
will mako several speeches in Texas
before his return. Ho will urge the
farmers of Texas to join in thia de.
mand.
Mr. F. H. Hyatt of Columbia wil I
speak at Edt.-efild Saturday, and
Mr. P. H. Weston at Valterboro next
Monday, and they %Wi advise the
faners to join in the demand for the
use of cotton bags instead of jute and
burlap, 80 that the conSUmpLtioni of
cotton may bo increasedl and1 the do
mand for Lhostaple increased to such
an oxtent that the price will be nor
mal hereafter. o,
The idea is founded on comnmn
sense and good logic, and the muovo
mont ought to succeed. And t ho fact4
that the movement was started in
Anderson county seems to be giving
it strength and 'cojnidence through.

AN AUCTION SALE.
We see no reason why the mor
chants of this town should not pull
to get trade to this town; to at least
one day mn the month havo a crowd
here; the most natural day to bring a
crowd is saloday. This is alwvays the
day people lay off to come to town;
whether there is any thing to be sold
or not, they come; then why not thke
advantage of it and make that a day
of bargains, and advertise the fact
and wvork to get a crowd here. If
your competitor gets part of the
rade, that is all right; he will try to
ring the ct owdl newt month, and you
eot a shiaro of the trade, so you are
ven.
Now, a proposition that ought to
neet with thle approval of cacth busIi
0ss man in town is this: Form an
asociation, and on each first Mondaluy
old auction sales from your stocjk of
oods. There are twelve stores in
>wn, including an exclusiv~e clol hig
tore, a fancy grocery establishment,
nd the drug store; eliminating these,
iho could combine and the three
uold a sale together, we have nine
reneral merchandise establishments,
which would cover tenm months, the
>ther two sales could be an assort
mont of goods taken from all of the
itores and each mierchanit get the
share of profits his part of the goods
brought. Bly this arrangement a
good business could be wvorked up
and one day in each month would he 4
knoun far and wvide as "bargain day
in Pickens." You wvill never have
any idea of wvhat it will do, nor how
much goods or howv varied an assort4
ment can be disposed of until it is
bried. Will you try it?4

MADE MONEY ON CABuAGE PATCH.1t
People who aro talking bard timesi 1
that there is no money to be made on
the fa in, would (10 well to follow the I
example or Dr. B. F. Smith.' This I
gentkcman has a lot in Elberton con
taning lss than thice quarters of an
aer--to be acurate, '70-100 acres -
ou which he has cleared already this
year. $185. This profit came firom
the production of cabbage. Last fall
he planted this plat of ground in
this vegetable, which have' been laid
by, and Friday he sold the crop for
$250 to Mr. J. 0. Ginn.
Within the next montb this crop
will be harvested and sold, after
which Dr. Siith proposes to put the
same ground in celery. on which he
hop(s to again make a big profit. The
doctor says he owns and operates a
three horse farm, and has pitted his
lot against the profits of his farm for
this year.-Elberton Star.
The Star, iml ain editorial, which fol
lows, speaks of what can be d .no
with a cabbage patch; and if it can
bo (10110 therc it can bo dlone here,
and elsewhero. Cabbage culture can
be made to pay in Pickens county
just as much as an.ywhere in the
State. Dr. Smith, at Easley, has a
plat of ground planted in onions,
andl he proposes putting this plat in
cabbage as soon as the onions are
taken up. lie is planting for market,
and incidentally for a profit, which
he will make.
'1 here is enough fruit that goes to
waste in this county to keep a big
cannery busy; then with the canning
of vegetables and the krauting of
cabbage, both for market, handsomne
money can be made. The Star sa3s
of cabbage culture:
"Heretofore the raising of cabbage
in the middle and lower portions of
our state has been, in rlmost every
every instance, a signal failure. The
mountaineer comes down front the
sun-capped mountains and verdlant
hills of North Georgia every winter
with loads of fine large cabbage, I
which ho readily sells in our market. I
Wo pay good prices, whilo we look ]
w'tl envious eye on the mammoth I
products of our sister section and
vonder how this horticultural miracle
has been wrought, we buy the seed i
and make the attempt to grow this
table delicacy as successfully as our I
hardby neighbor from the upper por
Lion of the state, with the. ever recur
ring result --total failure. Is there
any rer.so)n' wvhy weo of the mid
dIo and1( lower sections should not
achmiove the same success as the
mountain region? Dr. B. F". Smith,
>f this city, has solved the problem,
mnd answers the question by his own
lemonstrationi, that we can.
