THE CUED IT SYSTEM IN THE SOUTH.
It is about lime that Southern
planters and farmers abandoned the
pernicious credit system. in the
cotton states particularly,. where it
prevails extensiv elv. it is the great
drawback t.) their prosperity. How- j
fWvgbtt? f-beif cr*rpf! may ho< they
lind theJiJs<.'Iveft, as u rule*, in deb'l at
l he end ofthe year. The prolits of
thciryonrs work goiiito the pockets
of the country merchants who furn
ish th?m their supplies. As ihe sys
tem" in practiced the phi liter or fanner
] wire* tl.'e Jilerel/attt lien on his crops
lobe grown and ihc merchant, being
se.-iired. furnishes the necessary sup
plies. There is no agreement about
the prices that shall be pni i for the
supplies, but'I! c fuel ?chant is carefi;!
to exact interest on tin-advances
vr deli he makes. When the lieii is j
given the planter or farmer is in the
i power* of the merchant. His credit
i- destroyed so far as obtaining any
thing elsewhere is eoneerue 1. add his
mere li a ill cdn,afid docs, in a majority j
of- uses, charge him just v>kat he lit; , i
for the supplies which lie furnishes.
These charges are generally from '.to
In 100 per cent, higher than the rul
ing market rates. The planter oi
farmer may complain of tin.' ex orb i I
tan'. prices which he is forced to pay,
but what (.'an he dOV II?' must have
supplies and he hasn't cither cash or
credit. He is. therefore, forced to
comply with the terms of the mer
chant who holds the mortgage on his
growing crops. The supreme court
of Mississippi, a few days ago,
rendered a decision which will allie d
the farmers of that State some relief, !
A merchant \? !>?> held a mortgage Oil
the crops of a farmer foreclosed it.
The lov-vr court allowed Ins bill
ligaiilst the farmer, aI;hough it was
shown that the prices charged were
at least double those charged for the
same articles when sold for cash.
The case was appealed and the ??"
pronto court re Versed toe decision of
i he lower court. The higher eodri
said: !C The pllrcil.'iMrr was nol in a
condition to decline the puivli.'isi? of!
flic supplies OU llCCOUIll oftlie prices

prices from an overruling necessity.
His extorted llffseill t?; the prices I'.x
cd was wilhotil consideration*, and
was therefore void." fins decision
lixe's the law mill respect to stich eon
tracts so far as Mississippi is con
cerned, bill there arc very low plan

pense (Mid trrnibleof a law Kl?t to

is to gel clefir of thecredll system a!

question that is tint free from dilllclll
