Some Random Thoughts.
Again we have an hours' time to
Jot down some impressions, wiae
and otherwise. for tbe entertain*
ment of the readers of tbls page.
The Editor of the Southern Culti?
vator bits the keynote on his "notes
on tbe Situation." when be says
"never be guilty again of saying cot?
ton will be lower, and I told you so."
This reminds ire that at the Farm?
ers' Union meeting a very successful
farmer said: "I have sold my cotton
opposed to holding." Why is it
that tbls same brother does not sell
that this same brother does otn see
hhi peas as fast aa he picks them.

ftian $*.o:) the hush '..' Becauv* be t
: i i\ ? hat w\ . he k nd of i ?1 k I
get $2.00 for peas; and If he talked
lower prices for peas, It was the sure
way to sell his peas at lower prices,
and drive all his fellow farmers to
do the same. Why Is it that he can
recognise this principle when it re?
fers to the pea crop and fails utterly
to understand It when applied to the
cotton crop? Because he has been
taught by long years oi custom, that
he. the grower, can have no effect on
the price of cotton.
e s e
Men may talk ahout "Bear com?
bines" and "mill mergers" as much
as they please, but the advice given
I y thousands of Southern business
men. and acted upon by tens of thous?
ands <?f Southern farmers "that you
better sell cotton, for you will take
less than 10 cents before Christmas"
had more to do with the decline of
the market than all the "bear raids"
and "mill mergers" of the world com?
bined. Mills and speculators who
want to get cheap cotton can have
no more effective co-workers than the
successful business men of the South
who have strained their credit to do
an Immense business and then to
protect their own credit, by making
early collections, give their customers
such advice.
? ? ?
Tbe papers are still being filled
with remedies. They remind me of
the "quack medicine" adver Issm tntf
The people are bewildered. ;ind do not
know which way to turn. And very
few remember or care to remember
that the Farmery I'nlon ha* all along
tried to eni!?t the farmers in a safe
and conservative system of farming,
and has tried to arrange for market?
ing crops other than cotton It has
stood for true growth and healthy de
rOlOpmsnt And ll opposed to going
Into hysterics Just because everything
does not move SI \n I w ant It. Instead
Of supporting the I'nlon. ai u Its

CITY WINS LICENSE SLIT.
Case of Arthur 1). Moirill vs. the City
of Suiuter Won lt\ Defendant.
The suit of Dr. Arthur B. Mor?
rill against the City of Bumtsr was
heard Thursday afternoon before
Judge Wells and resulted in a rul?
ing b| Judge Wells In favor of the
city.
This was Second "f SOTOfSl suits
SgSlnSt th6 City for the recovery of
llconss fees paid to the city, alleged
t. have boon paid under protest. The
tirst suit was that of M. W. Boabrook,
an attorney at law, to recover the
license fee which he had paid. The
suit was brought on the ground that
?he license was not uniform accord?
ing to the Income of the persons
paying the licenses and was there?
fore unconstitutional. The case of
M. W, Seabrook resulted in the city
paying back the $25 which had been
paid as a license fee. The case of
Dr. Morrtll was different in that
Judge Wells ruled that the protest
had not been made and that there?
fore he was not liable to recovery.
In the Seabrook case, Mr. Sea
brook had paid the license fee, but
had made the person accepting the
fee write on the back of his license
that it was paid under protest. In
the Morrill case it seems that Dr.
Morrill had simply stated that he
did not think that the license was
just and that he did not think that
he ought to be made to pay it. He then
asked what was the best way to get
out of it and he was Informed that
the beat way was to pay the license.
He paid the /ee and no more was said
about the matter until suit was
brought. It was on this showing
that Judge Wells ruled that the pro?
test made was not sufficient and that
Dr. Morrill was not liable to recov?
ery. It was stated by Mr. Seabrook,
the attorney for the plaintiff, that
the case would be appealed.
There are two more cases still to
come up for trial for the same thing.
Messrs. H. C. Haynsworth and Mark
Reynolds have brought suit to re?
cover the fees which they Hiad paid
to the city for license. It Is prob?
able, however, that these cases will
not come up until the Morrill case
is settled.
Mr. D. C. Shaw of this city has re?
ceived a telegram fron. his son,
