Against Credit.

FARMER FRIENDS Dear brethren,
as the busy season of the year is up
on us-the time for running into
lebt-let's call halt. We have no
assurance of large yield of cotton,
,neither of big price, therefore, let
Jus make our store accounts as small
'as possible. 1t would be better for
'us to live on corn bread, bacon, veg
'etables, sorghum, milk and butter,
land such things as we can produce
;at home, rather than run in debt for
flour, molasses, sugar, coffee, rice
and tobacco, especially the latter,
which is a needless self indulgence
land should not be used in the way
Jour people generally do. And as for
.Gnery, we can do without that splen-
Oddly; lindseys can be paid for, but
keep out the cold silks on credit.
The credit system of trade is an
scvil in our land. 1t breaks ten to
swhcre it builds up one. | have la
.bored hard and sweat profusely
Through June and July to make cot
3ton to pay these long credit store
sbils, and | am tired of it. Not that

ltcn dollars per barrel, and in the

This is what this credit business does
I for the poor farmer. Pay as you go,

man anything but to love one an
sother," is the Bible injunction, and
| it is a good one. l had rather die a
apauper than to die insolvent.
Now, Mr.. Editor, thanking you
land your scribes for the county
snews, promise to write again if |

Jerry Simpson displayed his
shrewdness by declining to take any
part in the recent conference at Gin
cinnad which some misguided people
think launched national political
party. There are men-many of
them-in the ranks of the Farmers
Alliance capable of organizing and
leading areat national political par
ty; but they were conspicuous by
their absence from the Cincinnati
gathering, and should they deem it
wise to form political party at their
convention next February, it is not
probable that they would be willing
to recognize the Dalgetty's of ma
tional notoriety who were showed to
the front at Cincinnati. The Ali
