Ten cents cotton and good prices
for tobacco has knocked Col Brv>

cooked hat. When farmers are
getting good prices for their
products there is no use TALKING
to them about all sorts of fool
schemes. Darlington News.
Some people think that these
high prices are only political
trick aad that as soon as the cleo
ton Of Mckinley is secured the
farmers noses will again be
showed to the grinding stone. But
the truth is in our opinion, that
Mckinley and Bryan have nothing
to do with it, and "ten cent cot

will make our farmers no less the
