In line with what A C. J. said
in The EAGLE a week or two
ago, Is The following from . coz
respondent in tie last number
Of the Southern Cultiyator:
Somewhere about 1886 or
ls47 I paid a large debt with
cotton that brought from three
TO four cents. | did u by rails
ing all my food supplies, and
using economy. and applyisg all
my cotton money to NV dsbts.
At that time some planters who
we're also Ia debt failed. and
others sold some oftheir slaves
to release them frofn debt. for
the reason they planted large
crops Of cotton in hopes Of pay
ing them ont of debt, and so
curtailed their provision crops
that they had TO buy their pro.
visions, and having TO buy their
provisions, they we're unable to
pay their debts. But all Who
raised their provisions were en-
ablsd TO apply all their cotton
money to their debts, aud BIZ
scaling their debts down in that
way by Induigences received
got out Of their troubles"
