CORN' AS A MONEY CROP.
The Cause and Remedy for Overproduction
of Cotton Outlined.
(Receive! too 'ave for last week's isiue).
Editor County Record:?
Why should not corn be made a
money crop and relieve the overproduction
of cotton? Let me mention
here the cause and the remedy
for the same. The cause, in the first
place, is that our corn and grain are
never put in a marketable condition;
our oats are not threshed, our corn
is not shelled and sacked. Suppose I
go to a wholesale grain and hay
dealer and say: "1 have a lot of
grain and hay for sale," and ask the
dealer for a price.' His reply will be:
"Is your grain sacked and is your
hay properly baled?" Right here
we make no trade. To all of this our
farmers will agree. Why should it
be so? Can we market our cotton
without baling and preparing it?
We can sell all of our grain if it be
put up in marketable shape.
Now, let me otfer my plan for the
remedy. Let the public ginneries
attach to their plants large shelters,
shuckers and baling machinery
and let it now be publicly known to
the farmers,so that their grain may
be shucked and the shucks baled and
their corn shelled and sacked for
market. Let this be done for toll or
for cash.
Another remedy is to organize
grain committees or associations in
each township and launch stock companies
among the farmers for building
plants to maintain a regular
shelling and sacking plant in each
township or farming territory % Inside
of $1,000 will install the plant.
Just as soon as one of those plants
has been into operation it will pay,
and others will be put up as thick as
ginneries are now. The corn shucks
and cobs can be put up in marketable
condition. For feed the corn
and oats can be shelled or threshed
and sacked and all can be done under
one roof. A company will be organized
in this town in the near future
for this purpose. We believe it
will be a paying investment and also
relieve the present depressed condition
of our farmers. The Western
farmers prepare their grain for
market and why should not the
South do likewise? Why not make
the grain crop a money crop in part,
at least? We can raise corn at fifty
to seventy-five cents per bushel and
make as much money as on cotton
at ten cents a pound. But the farmer
says: "I can't sell my corn for
cash." If our corn be shelled and
sacked we can get a ready market
for it,just as we do for cotton. We
shall soon have grain dealers just as
we have cotton buyers. Let me ask
the readers of The Record to think
seriously about this matter and let
us change our methods and plant
the grain for market and cut off
"King Cotton." Now is the time to
decide this matter. We can raise
corn in Williamsburg county for 25
to 30 cents a bushel and cotton costs
8 to 10 cents a pound. See the difference
in cost of production. With
the aid and co-operation of our business
men and our farmers this plan
may be put into operation. The
writer would be glad to learn the
views of some of our farmers or
business men on this subject.
Respectfully.

Shockina Sounds
in the earth are sometimes heard
before a torrible earthquake, that
warn of the coming peril. Nature's
warnings are kind. That dull pain or
ache in the back warns you the Kidneys
need attention if you would escape
those dangerous maladies,
Dropsy, Diabetes or Bright's disease.
Take Electric Bitters at once
and see backache fly and all your
best feelings return. "My son received

MURDERED ON HIGHWAY.
William Monzon Shot to Death?
His Brother Charged with Crime.
William Mouzon.a young negro of *
the Bethel section, was waylaid and J
murdered on the highway near his
home, Friday night, January 26.
The motive of the dastardly deed
appears to have been robbery, and J
to add to the enormity of the crime, j
the brother of the victim is charged
with beincr the principal in the as- t
sassination. j
The inquest was held on Satur- t
day, the 27th ult.by Magistrate Mc
Elveen and the verdict of the coro
ner's jury was that the deceased,
William Mouzon, came to his death
by a gunshot wound at the hands of
his brother, Ruffin Mouzon, and
Caesar June. Ruffin Mouzon is in
jail awaiting the approaching term <
of court, but Caesar June is still at
large. ,

abundant reason for it,as every cold j
