Want* a Seed Cotton License j Editor County Record: ' I wi-h to call your attention, . !and the attention of the tther members of the Legislature and the Senate, through your paper, to ' a serious condition ot things existing in this county. I refer to the I fiaflic in seed cotton. Iain aware | of the fact that it cannot be pro- 1 hibitedby statutory enactment, J since that would be interfering with the personal rights of the citizen; but can it not be stopped * by a prohibitive license? You may not know to what extent this sort of traffic is carried on in the ccuntry neighborhood*. I think there can hardly be a farmer, who 1 does not know of one or more little 1 shops, some of them having in stock less than five dollars worth 1 of goods at any one time, yet which 1 have bought in from two to ten bales of cotton during the present season; and all, or the greater part ' of this cot ton has been bought from ' parties whose crop is under lie , or who have stolen it. I have heard of the argument ' being made that some farmer- ' could not get money to pick their \ cotton without salling some of it in ' the seed. Now, I have never ' known of an- one who failed ini that respect. If one can get money 1 to make a croo. he can iret money 1 | to gather it, and a man oiild he ' more willing to advance money to ! pick cotton, it' he felt sore that the ' | cot toil when picked, would not go to these little shops I hav<- 1 known instances where money was tarnished to pick moreeottou than was brou'rht to the party who a J vanced it on a lien. It may be asked what won Id be 1 done with renin nits of hales? To 1 this I answer, th.i' several neigh- ' . I bora might oniihiite, p ick in ton bale, a ^taking their families, including the babies, haul it to a market near a dispensary and have a genera' good time. I hnnu I ha l?iir<nprit will 71TC ""r" ? ? i.? their views on the matter,that the 1 legislators may be able to act in accordance with their wishes. Farmer. Coming and Going. Mr. \V. S. Martin will be the | pastor in charge of Kiugstree I I Methodist church for the ensuing I conference year. Mr. Martin is i ! not a stranger in this town or [county; both he and hi- wife, { whase old home tins is, will fin I t many friende of long standing glad to welcome them ascitiBens of our < town. As a preacher Mr. Mar'in ? stands well in the conference and I we feel sure that he will accnm- : plish a good work here. t Rev. A B. Earle has been as signed to Beaufort lor his next ? year's ministerial work. During . the year that Mr. Earie and his 1 family have teen among us, they j have made many friends, who will I learn with regret of their depart ure. Mr. Earle i* a refined gen i tleman and a consecrated, con- | seientious christian. While with 1 ns he did a good work, and we I doubt not that his influence will < be felt Ions after he is gone. While we are sorry that he must leave, i we wish him God-speed in a new < field. HniVwig be long continue hts faithtifeljHtfk in the Master's cause. WANTED A white man to work on farm next year.
