" "* " " * Lisbon, Jan. 21.-The new year is with us, and we have commenced to plow for another crop, yet we have not settled our minds as what, to depen upon, to make lie most for the least labor, as that is getting to be the ques tion to solve these days. The year I I I is the year that put the people to the bad, and it is going to take some time for the farming class to get over it, as well as the nerchants and bank ers. Hlowever, we will have to do this year what we did last year, work more and spend less, and by close economy, we hope to get in ship-shape in a few years. We don't hear much talk about reduction in acreage in this or other counties, but believe us, the poor farm ers had better listen to reason. Every time you see this bunch who buys your cotton at Laurens, walking around say ing if these United States gets in war with other nations you will see cotton go down, and you will find out after he makes this declaration that. he has to get utp 2011 or 3)0 bales to till his cou tract, and that contract makes him give you more than he otherwise would. 'lhen, a ftr(' that ('onIi'act has been tilled, cot ton goes of in Laurens. We see in Lancaster last week cotton was selling at 12 1-2e while the same cotton was se(llinig in Ltaurens at 12e. We guoss the (o'nrl(s were much heavier ihr e than in Lauirens as w( ('an't find aniy reason). why anotlher couinty is gir in a halt' ('nt miore in the same stale. We kno'.w the rason, and if we faini ers ill raise thle numuber of hmps thlat our f'riend, I ee laiiley, raises then i lit' coton buyer:; wrill have wagons going frinl place to ilace iing the ftari e;s whatever price they ask i'or their (nti oln or other plrod(uce. We Mhink that when people go into Mexico that they ale taking their lives in their own hands, and the tnited Slates shouI not intervene as the see retary h aA watned thet to stay out of t11'r coitttries where other nations w'ere at war. It is a deplorable affair in \exico. 'lien o111r people were lined It;( and shot like worthless dogs, )ut Ihry we're 'arned not to visit. these ema intrieS whe're nations were at war. We notice what some of the congress miieni say inl regaird to tle aw tragedy that. haplened in Mexico, that the p resident oug hI to send enouigh troops over there to cleant the whole business out. Hlut you listen to a fellow that never has been in war, that when 'n ce Sam starts over in Mexico to avenge the few deaths that, happened in Mexico, there will be Itousands be fore the end. President Wilson is a great mean and any ('olirse that he may take we will believe it best for the peo ple of this great. country. We have prayed for the onslaught. of the human lives That is going on in u'Iurope and .\lexico to stop, and wished that these l'nitedl States could intervene in some way that. these nations would stol.
