PRESCRIPTION Mt Home.


Some weak-minded Johnson men
at Brownsville, and the region
round about, have been threatning
to withdraw their patronage from
the Bee, because its editors do not
support Brigadier-General johnson
for Congressman for the State at
large. The way Ivie Westbrook
"goes for' the aforesaid weak-min-
ded brethren, is a caution to all
wcak-minded johnson men. He
tells them in plain English they may
go to Jericho or anywhere else they
want to, for all he cares-that he
does not propose to sell his indepen-
dence of thought and action to eve
ny fool who pays the price of ears
subscription to his paper, and says
he had rather see the "Bee fold her
wings for an eternal sleep, than to
belle her history, her character and
her good name, her fame and hum
BILE reputation by trucking for sup
port, or bending the plant hinges
of the knee that thrift may follow
fawning.'" "Appoint the funeral,
gentlemen, that she may die grace
fully" We only ask the poor privi-
lege Of a few minutes respite.

Last Saturday afternoon the town
of Osceola, Arkansas, was very seri-

many houses being destroyed and
several persons killed.
At Nashville and the country
around, the storm ragged with unus-
ual violence, uprooting trees, I'M
roofing houses, prostrating CHM
neys, and wrenching off doors from
their hinges, breaking winow-glass
and sash in many places. The Cap
itol had several doors and window
sash blown of, damaging the build
ing to the amount of $500.

This provision made to protect
the wives and children of the far
mer in the event of sickness or

would not interfere with it, if 1

to every other labOrer of any kind

able to fall i'll or to die, and when

no reason why the request sho.ld

No reasonable man in view of the
liberal exemption made to other
classes can object 10 making eXemp-
ton from punishment uniform

tons of society. IL may be urged
that the change in the law viii in

chant. If this should happen the re-
sponsibility will rest upon those
who ask for the change. They must

change in the law desired puts the
business of the grocer or merchant
upon a cash basis with the mechan-

the most interest, and therefore
have answered them specifically.
To say more than this is unneces-
sary, except to promise that if cleo
ted to the Legislature, L will not
consider myself the representative

will not seek to favor one class OF
men at the expense of another, OF
to array one class against any other,
but to do uniform justice TO all, GO

would have our neighbors to do IN
to us-that is to give each a fair and
equal showing in the hard struggle
of life.

COTTON AND HONEY.


Ii there was any agreement be-
tween those who have cotton and
those who have money, much could
be saved to our cotton-growing sec
ton.
Let US look at this question in q
business point of view. If the far
mer brings his cotton to market he
must sell it, or, if he does not like
the price, and wishes to raise money
on it, he has to ship it to some of the
centres of capital to procure an ad-
vancement of something like one
half or three-fourths of its value.
By this means the farmer has to pay
interest to some banking institution
out of the State, and to that extent
impose another depreciation upon
the amount realized from his cotton
crop to himself and our section. 1t
will be remembered that in the
great majority of instances the COM
mission merchant in New Orleans,
New York, or elsewhere, to whom
his cotton is consigned, from whom
he receives the advancement, has
not the money himself to advance,
must have "the cotton in hand" be-
fore the Bank will accommodate
him with loans. By this process the
farmer loses sight and control of his
product, submits it to the care and
management of those he never saw,
and of whom he knows but little,
and withal has to pay tribute in the
way of interest, commissions, insu-
rance, etc, ETC., to those outside the
county and State, when, by system
of warehouse receipts" all can be
accommodated at home. Let us see
how this can be done.
Farmer A 3 brings TO Jackson
five bales cotton, stores it with JnO.
NJ. Parker & Co., for which they
give him receipt, stating weight,
condition and class, also that it is
under insurance in - Company.
and that the five bales cotton will
be delivered only to the holder of
thereeeipt. 1t will be remembered
that the New York banker requires
all that is stated in this receipt and
nothing more, for it is not so much
the credit of the merchant that Sc
cures the money of the Bank, as it
is the fact that the cotton is in store
and under insurance in some good
company. Is it not evident to any
one that A B, with such a receipt,
offers to the holder of money the
best security that can be offered, and
that the payment can be made on
the very day that it is promised,
without a possibility of failure ?
Hence the farmer, mechanic or mo-
ney-lender, who has money that he
has use for on given day and for
a specific purpose, need not keep it
locked up and idle, waiting for the
day of use to roll round; but he can
loan it on this kind of receipt, get
his interest, accommodate the far
mer who wishes to hold his cotton,
and at the same time be perfectly
certain that he will have his money
back in hand on the day he has to
pay it out.
Why cannot this plan be adopted
and get money at home, keep our
cotton in sight, pay interest at home,
and, above all, keep from under the
pressure that our commission mer-
chants are often made to bear by
Spectators and Banks, to force cot
ton below its proper value.
