Of FARmNG-Planters and farmers il thil
N section are busily engaged in preparing tn,
T ground for seed, but we are sorry to sa,
ut that, from present indications, too 1nuel
be- space Will be devoted to cotton, and ne
or enough to cereals. just here we wish L
o. suppose case that Is not at all improbeble
Il Every sensible man must know that GU
wv 60 Eernment is unstable and exfremel
es shakey, many expect, and know one know
ct how soon clash VIII come-everything ma
al tional in its features seems pregnant wit
bitterness and strife. If the Impeachment
r. ofAndrcw johnson does not produce blood
5n shed, the chances are three to one that tn
st, November election wiz Now suppose on
ga people persist in eultiyating large fields {
ms cotton and stinted patches of corn an
ne wheat, at the same time negieeting to Sc
as. that their stock increases Trouble ensdei
a We have plenty Of cotton but no provision
tic A repetition of the direful times of 60 az
I'm 63 will follow as sure as fate Suppos
,ut again, that only a small amount of cotto
to and pleptiful supply of provisions to /
at the resulted farm labor this year and til,
ty. no disturbance takes place Nothing vi
m have been lost, but everything adyantageor
set to our people viii be gained. The scarcit
he OF cotton produces high prices afail an
ed ample supply Of provisions induces chea
.ds labor-the real wealth of any countr
re- Facts are stubborn and our people shouI
.ss look them squarely in the face, and NJ
he ponder to hurtful custom simply becaus
7er that custom has been life long custom. L,
an cotton alone; become selfsustaining frs
I'VE then go into the markets with your SUI
bic plus--cotton--an demand your own pric
.ue Common sense points this outas the road
it follow. VIII our people do it?
