The Fort Smith Times forcibly
illustrates a point in this unique
manner:
1t was once claimed by certain
zealots, to be a divine act which
transformed the old Ford Theater,
which has been sanctified by the

flee where the blood of other thou

CONDITION OF THE FARMERS

One of our wideawake exchanges
has the following to say respecting
the agricultural situation in the
South;
"One of the greatest drawbacks to
successful farming in the South is
the old style of doing business on
the credit system. The practice
still prevails to a very large extent
of buying on credit and settling up
once a year. As long as this sys-
tenn prevails farming will be I'M
profitable. In the first place, when
the planter buys on credit, he is apt
to buy more largely and use less
economy than when he puts his hand
in his pocket and pays cash for what
he gets; and in the next place, he
pays from % to so per cent. higher
prices than when he pays cash. As
long as this system is pursued the
planter is bound to be in bondage.
His growing crop is mortgaged, and
when it is harvested he must imme-
diately put it on the market, be the
market what it may.
Thus there are three causes which
operate directly and powerfully
against his prosperity. 1t would be
far better for the planter to 90 to
the bank and borrow the money,
making his needs as light as pos
sible, rather than pay the extra
prices charged by the stOrekeeDer
for few months accommodation
The credit system is at the bottom
of the most Of the ills from which
Southern agriculturists have suffer
ed for 10 these many years"
These remarks are just and sen
sible, but are only partially explain
atory of the true condition of af
fairs. The trouble with the South
ern farmer lies in the fact that he
the true system of his
own ayocation and regards himself
as a merchant instead of a farmer |
The true system of farming con /
sists in producing all the necessa-
ries Of life, all the provisions, feed /
and supplies, and selling the sup /
plies. The system practically made
the wealth ofthe ante bellum South.
The modern farmer gives the great
sr part of his time and acres to
products and tries to
Utilize his surplus merely in the
'unning Of his farm. This is the

and about fifty injured Friday by
the collapsing of the doors in the
old Ford theatre at Washington us

had been in a dangerous condition
for years, but the government still
permitted its clerks to work therein,
although valuable relics and rec
ords were removed for fear of an ac-

horror was due to supports giving
