On. More I'm Of tn. Wheel.

KELroN, March l27.-It has been some
time since wrote & letter to the TIMEs. l
have b hso busythat could not spare the
time from the farm Sbut will now endeayor
to turn the wheel again.
We have had q hard winter, but spring
time has come sgasn and hope We will have
better weather from this op. Two weeks of
good sunshine put the farmers in heart, aud
they put in full time preparing their laud
fear there will Be- too much cotton D ant
ed for the good Of ftAe South. Brother farm
ers, take the wsfntng Of J. z. George and
don't plant more Ssaton than is necessary to
raise ali inc Sslr You s9sas e.a ana corr. and
course there arc sonis men compelled 10
plant largely OF cotton to meet their obliga.
tions; but farmers who are in better circum-
stances and continue the all-cottsn practice,
will see their folly when it is too late.
All indications show very plaiu that we
will get low price for cotton next fall, If
a large crop is made this year.
We can't understand our friends logic in
assuming that farmers In debt must raise a
''largs crop Of cotton to meet their obliga-
tions," while it Will be folly for those out Of
bebt to do SO. 1t seems to us that if q small
crop, costing less to produce 1t, will bring as
much cash as q larger one, costing more to
produce it, the farmers having obligations to
meet in the fall, ars the very ones to adopt
the small crop system. The "other fsllows''
oan stand sslliug cotton at just what IL cost
to raise it, or can sfford to hold it for better
prices; but he Wild dsxpeots to got out Of debt
by raising cotton Ind selling it at what il
cost, or less, will Atsrtaioly ..sss his folly"
in the fall, when he is called on to to meet
his obligations out Of large and improbable
crop Of cotton. Our friends proposition is,
very evidently, that all the farmers who are
out OF debt should plant only small crops Of
cotton to keep up the prices, and those who
are in debt should plan: large crops to keep
down the price. Now II is well known that
large majority Of the farmers are 10 debt,
and we think they always will be il they
accept our friend rs ad,ioe.-ED.1
Mr.. A. d. Sweat and Miss Ramath Hart
were married yesterday at Mt. Joy church
by Rev. W. Z. G.. Humphries.
Mrs. Charlie Kid, Of Glendale, was on
visit to her friends and relatives, on the
Ridge, last week.
Well, Mr.. Editor, IL remember Alright
the people did have something to say about
whom they wanted for Governor last wear.
The field was open TO whoever would run for
Gubernaturiai honors aud only two stumped
the State: that was Tillman and Shepherd
and Tiltnan was elected. Mr.. Editor, there
was nothing truer than the charge
male by the reform candidate, that, under
the former STATE organization, the people
had NO choice in selecting a candidate Tor
Governor. 1t is also true that it was cut
and dried for them ny the Columbia ring.
Now, MIR. Editor, I will try to answer your
question, "How Is it now?" The psopl.
have their choice. II We would look at our
own faults we would not see so much Of
others. KELroN WurrI q,
