Editor Countn Ucr(^kP^nnH
I have noticed has he^
aidbv Farmer and other farmers
n regard to a seed cotton license;
md I am persuaded that they have
iot given the matter thorough
;onsideralion. As'I live on the
ine of a county that has such a
aw, I think I have a better idea
hail they to what extent the law
s injurious. If it were not an injury
to both plnnter and iner tinnf
I u'nulil pnfpr niv solemn I
I'ote against it, because it is tend
ng to monarchy, and we have already
a plenty of 6uch laws. I,
*or otie, think it time onr lawmakers
should halt and reflect, for we
lave many oppressive laws alreadv.
Now, I know the seed cot'on
license law is quite unpopular
n this section, and in the county
referred to, the voters spoke loudly
against it in the last primary
ranvas; for each aspirant that de
i'ared in favor 01 a continuance
>f the license was kindly left at
iome, although some of them
nouI<1 have been very popular
uid they been in favor of repealng
the law. It injures the al
ready down trodden farmers, for
if they sell the cotton to those
paying a license, the seller has to
pay it, and hence he carries it to
r county whese more freedom is
mjoyed. In this way the merchants
are iniured too.
Now. Mr. Editor, let me be
plainly understood. I am opposed
to any license law being laid
tpoti any of the commodities or
products produced an our plantaions,
and I am what some call a
ien merchant and have ever been
j farmer having made an honest
living and some money on the
farm and if our would-be wiseicres
will amend and abolish some
>t the special laws already enacted,
I am persuaded they will receive
the applauding, "Well done.
Iho'u faithful servant!*'
