A :'ertilizer manu facturer in a near by city is offering to exchange ferti lizer for cotton seed. No money pass es In the trade. The more of this that is done the easier will the cotton prob lem be solved. Make cotton the 'ie dium of exchange, In yesterday's daily papers a fel low by the nalme of Blease, living in Columbia now, attempted to explain In a lengthy article how it was that he was defeated for the United States senate In an election recently held to fill that otlice.

A tremendous effort on the part of every Individual and collection of in dividuals in the 'south is needed to ward off the impending danger. It can be done, if we will. We cannot hope to get all the money needed to hold enough cotton off the market, but we can follow the example set by a Georgia. college and let cotton be the medium of exchange. Brenau College Conservatory, a Georgia institution, has offered to accept properly certi tied warelouse receilpts at ten cents 1;er pound Onl tuitioln and board in lieu of money. In the absence of any agen cy to handle the situation as a whole, it will devolve upon the busiless en of the south to do the same thing that tis college has done. The bankers must help or go down in the crash. The south has tile wealth, though not ill actual money, to hol tile crop and it can do it byi makiing its own chief Pro(,duct tle basis of valie and mediumi of exchanlge. We do not advocate imerchanls ad vancing tell cents )er 1(ound oil cotton or accepting cotton at that price in trade. We believe that if this were generally done, however, and the cot ton so taken in kept off the mar ket that the price would go up to that level, but we do not believe that con servative merchants are ready to ad vance so large a margin. But, if a concerted plan were carried out to apply cotton on accounts at a lit-tle rise over thle market price and tile cotton stored for tile mutual benefit of the merchant and customer, the sit uation would be largely relieveli. Thie business men of the South could han die ain imimensl amount of cotton ill this Way.
