Yet to a large extent this Is done for them, by those who fix the price of everything the farther has to bny. This unfortunate state of affairs is the direct result of a want of intel ligent co-operation, a iacx ot confi dence, and indisposition to spend money to secure an organization founded upon strict business princi ples for their mutual protection.

Almshouses frequently shelter vagrants also and ‘the native confidence felt bv some wayfarers that socity will take care of them, would be refreshing if It were not significant of the price society pays for its own tolerance of the manufacture and perpetuation of vagrants."

PERSONAL PARAGRAPHS. Postmaster Folger and Mrs. Folger left Gaffney last week for a trip north. Mr. Folger returned Tuesday but Mrs. Folger was not with him — “ ed, then they stand off “to see how It comes out.” The manufacture doesn’t do that way, nor does any business association. No permanent effective organization can survive without funds, and it Is idle to suppose that a farmers union or organization can be of any permanent material bene fit to the farmers where the only evidences of such organization con sists in holding meetings, mablng speeches and passing resolutions. The manufacturer and the broker are not Idle. They deal with the situation in a business-like way. Every year they know within a few cents the exact amount of fertilizers hought on time; the amount of sup plies sold the same way; the number of Hens and mortgages given to se cure the payment of fertilizer and supplies accounts. They know that these debts must be paid when due, and that to pay them, a certain amount of cotton must be thrown up on the market early In the season. Knowing these facts, they are In a position to control the price to a large extent of this cotton that can not he held, and they do so. They are not to be blamed for so doing, when the remedy la in the bands < the farmer. This remedy le for the fanners to purchase all the cotton that is forced on the market, pay off the debts that must be paid, store the cotton in warehouses and hold until it will command a price that may be fixed by the fanners. When the world learns that it must pay thirteen or fifteen cents for cotton, It sill pay that price, , and not until then. Let the farmers throw away all petty Jealousies, all selfishness; let principle be their guide; and banded together in a common cause for a common purpoee—the elevation and prosperity of .their clase, they may and win control the price of the cot ton they produce, and they and not others wlU be masters of the situation.
