CoLCMBIA, 8. c.. Sept. There will probably
be moro mortgages and notes paid of by South

greatly increased the condition OF the crop was
never better. and the yield will be rs. 900 bales
greater than In any previous year. But the cot.
ton was not the only crop planted. The low
prices OF two years ago taught the farmers

Cotton has been produced cheaper than ever
before. Tho cost has not been so low. per.
haps. as in Texas. but much lower than
1t has been in the Southeastern States.
Planters who several years ago could not pro
ducr cotton for less than = cents can now put 1t
on the market at an expense OF from 37s to 1
cents. Then the general run OF farmers are
econom!zing ln living. making few new debts.
and giving the lien merchant less hold on their
prospective crops. Further TO strengthen them.
