(Contributed.) Mr. Kdltor: Will you allow me apace in your columns to express my views along some lines of what the ? farmers are going to do this year in regard to the reducing the acreage I planted in cotton. In the first place . I do not believe there will be any cat in my community, in what I see and hear, not that some will not cut ' for they will, but others will increase hoping to gain at the expense of others and crying aloud for a big reduc' tlon, trying to deceive his neighbors and profit thereby. Now let me say to all such, you are going to be deceived, because the people are not all fools, for wise farmers are going to raise something beside cotton and if conditions are favorable this year, ' and make a good crop of ootton and the price low, which it will most surely be, they will have something he siae coiton to go on. Any rarmer who will act the hypocrit to deceive hla brother farmer 1b a worse traitor to the farming interest of the South than Benedict Arnold was to his country. Farmers If you want to increase or decrease your acreage in cotton this year say so and don't pretend to do what you are not going to do. I have looked over the names of those published in The Union Times who have signed pledges and I fear that we will find out later that there is as many liars as Clough Wallace said there was In North Pacolet after the ballots had been counted In a certain i election when he was a candidate for i an office. I hate to believe this statement but I fear from what I see of the names and figures given to the canvassers in my community that it will be true for a good way to judge other sections is by your own, while ' this is not always true:" Let me say to the merchants and all other men who are doing a business on a credit: You had better go slow for another large cotton crop , (not such a one as 1911) and the . South will be bankrupt. Just look at conditions to day, after two years of 16c cotton and then one year of 9 and 10c cotton, which is not so low. The ' most of the farmers are buying their supplies on time, and that at a high ptlce. All provisions are going up continually. I do think that we, the , people of the South, are the biggest , fools in any . civilized country on Srth. We publish to the world all we ow and sometimes that we do not | know. The two years that we prac1*4 got 15 cents for our cotton, , which is the money-crop of the South, wfe heralded it to all the world how rlbh, we, the South, were getting. s T? ?ee what every little one gallowe? n?mp%per with all the hlg dallies, w*h" every little cross-roads correi sftndent, you would believe that Wall L sfleet had moved down In Dixie. >t FWeen cents is not too much for cotta|ft) if the farmer Is to get any profit 01* Qf it. j Jlf.
