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.

' The splendid support given to me

Biease and his rrienas.
Few men are devoid of traits of ,
aits of character that are comlendable.
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.
