farmer six cents for cotton. We asked hin
how it was that he paid that price when ths
market was considerably less. His reply
was that stop must be put to people car
rying their cotton to other markets. II
looking around We found disposition
among the merchants to lend helping
hand to the farmers.

We desire it to be understood that the
names of our correspondents are not public
property. and further it will be useless fo,
persons to make inquiries Of US to find on
who wrote this or that communication. i
our Silver correspondent has. by stating
facts, caused some people to wish to know
who he is, they should be sufficiently i'm
pressed by his statement to heed what ht
said and not give the people of his section
cause to make complaints.

Land rents are higher to-day than they
were when cotton was bringing twice as

merchant and farmer both suffer. The
farmer suffers because he is forced to raist
cotton to pay debts. The merchant suffer:
because the farmer cannot realize enough
for his cotton to pay his debts.

Some who are disposed to injure the
Times are trying to create the false i'm
preston that we have been trying to array
the country people against the town. We
think this not only unfair, but unjust, be-
cause the Times has always endeavored tc
help our town, and is anxious to do what.
ever it can for the towns interest, It twould
be the heighth of folly for Us to work
against the interest of the town. because
what little we have is in the town, and
were We to do ANYTHING to the injury o.
Manning it would be injuring US.

Last Mondsy in conversation with Q

be told US that he pays si1ty-6ye dollars
rent for the land that he plants; that he
made about four bales of cotton and it took
nearly three bales to pay the rent: the bal
snce went towards his other indebtedness
which left him in debt and with nothing
to 90 on this fall. We asked him how he
was going to manage to be run next sum
mer, and his reply was with deep sigh
that he reckoned be would have to get Ell
bert Davis to run him with his hounds.

for advantages to his immense business
All during the past summer while Congress
was debating the tariff question Mr.. Lev
allowed his stock to run down until when

tariff, and the effect was being felt in The
markets, he went into the markets and tool
