To buy a bale hi goodi but to hold tbc bale after buying it is better. ? * a Tbc fanner with debts to pay can pay them with cotton at tin COUtS \ pound, slnoe a majority of the mer? chants have advertised to accept cot |OU at thai price in settlement of ac? counts. out Tbc Germans complain very much, They complain because the balam e of ti\e world accept taets at their face Value and holds Germany rcsponsiMe lor precipitating the war. They ? omplain boraUOl there is world-w ide indignation over the violation of Del? Hum neutrality ami the ruthless de? Ivaotatlou of that country accompanied by unexampled severity in the treatment of non-combatants. They complain because the world is hor ritied by the dropping of bond's on Antwerp and other cities, far remov? ed from the scene of actual hostilities, and killing women ami c hildren poUCO? fully sleeping in their beds. They complain betaust Kimland refused to stand aside while they ravaged Bel gium and conquered France. And they OOmplaln bOOnunf Americans do not isympathizo with them and applaud their methods of waging war. There Is undoubtedly much to blame in the conduct c>f aii engagad in this war, but G< rman.v, by her aw gant attitude h ? loa! t..f BymiNithy <?i' many who were Inclined! to lake the German side of the question, and the continued etTorl t?. nhifl the blame to other shoulders creates the Impression that t he < lermana t !>.. msol> es fei l that they are waging an unjust war nnd are trying lo excuse what they know cannot be justified, Tin- practice ot : trlcl economy la ad? visable but it can be carried to an ex* treme some economists wee in i<? lind it impoaaible tu curtail exepnditurcs, st? therefore are rigidly economical In paying debts, This is what might be calh d false ec< muiny, * * * There is no market for cotton at satisfactory pre es, but there la a large and unaupplied locul demand for eggs, poultry ami vurloua other articles of country produce, and the prices are high enough to satisfy anybody. * * * It is the luxuries that make the cost of living high, <'ut out every? thing eXCOpI the ban" necessities and' the problem of making ends meet! will become easier, e e e Paying debts with cotton BW cur? rency, on the basks of ten cents a pound is better business than holding cotton on the uncertain prospect of an advance above ton cents nnd leaving the debts unpaid, a * * An acre or two <?f wheat will pro Vide the average family with (lour Un? it year.

Sumter county farmers buy many carloads of western bacon every year and the city of Sumter pays out thousands of dollars yearly for bacon, hams and lard from western packing houses, There Is a home market for every hog.that can be raised in Sum? ter county and hog raising is one way to escape the penalty id' too much cot? ton. * * ? it is natural, and also proper for those who owe debts that they cannot pay on the very day they are due be? cause there is no market lor cotton and the consequent demoralisation of the South's business and financial sys? tem, to worry but there does not ap? pear to be any disposition on the par; l'Oll S.M.1-:?000 bushels Appier seed oats; also bushels fullghum seed (?als, latter 1 ?"> days earlier than other varieties.
