THE COTTON TARE QUESTION. Farmers Discuss the Situation? Too Late to Do Anything. In response to the call published n the county papers last week a imall number of farmers leathered in :he court house Monday to consider :he question of cotton bagging tare, rhe meeting was called to order by VIr J D Daniel,who nominated Mr J jl McCullough as chairman. Mr McCullough was duly elected chairman rnd Mr C W Wolfe chosen secretary. Sir Daniel then read several letters rrom cotton exporters to their local igents, allof which stated positively ;hat not more than 24 pounds of )agging would be paid for,and since ;he new law passed in South Carolila allows no deduction from the 6 jer cent contemplated in the act re?erred to, the cotton exporters and he mills have instructed their local igents not to buy any cotton conaining more than 22 to 24 pounds >f bagging. Several articles from the Progres-1 live Farmer were put, in evidence, ihowing conclusively that the Liver-j >ool cotton importers allowed 0 per ?nt of the weight of the bale for are and that it was nothing but ight that a farmer should be allowd to put 30 pounds of bagging on i 500 weight bale, but if the buyers von't take the cotton on that basis. , vhat is the farmer to do? That is he question most difficult to answer! nd there was much discussion all ending to show that while the farmr's position is impregnable, with >oth law and equity supporting it, et he is powerless to assert his ights against a powerful organizaion which seems to have been pre>aring months in advance to control I he situation, while, as usual, the armer slept over his rights. The! 'antlers' Union, it seems, has taken! o action and it is now too l&te to tiake effective resistance for the j resent season, anyway. These facts having been discussed : dessrs W D Smiley.

For example, Candidate lease "sticks to his friends through lick and thin." He has said so. Broadly speaking, loyalty to one's -iends is a characteristic that the orld deems admirable, and the 'orld is right. The man who will like sacrifices for a friend, who 'ill suffer for him, who will defend im against a majority?all for un?lfish friendship?cannot be wholly ad, however bad he may be. But there are occasions when the lan who "sticks to his friends irough thick and thin" may use hat disposition to outrage justice nd to bring widespread reproach pon his State. If such a man is lovernor and if he does not possess high conception of his obligation 0 law and justice and good governlent, his personal friends?the men .rho have done him service in the ast or from whom he expects serice in the future?stand first; they re put before the people, before very other consideration. ' Such a Governor shields his friends rom justice; such a Governor parions his friends when convicted of igh crime; such a Governor is a nenace to peace, and a disintegraor of his party. An example in point is Malcolm I. Patterson of Tennessee. He parloned his friend, Cooper, convicted f assassination.? The State. Card of Tbaoks r (Advertisement.
