WHAT IS TIE MATTER?--The
Florence Times makes the following
pertinent comment upon the condition
of affairs in the local cotton markets of
this State:
If the local cotton mills cared to eX-
tend helping hand to the farmers of
the country. if they would show their
gratitude to those who gave them birth
they could very easily stalt the cotton
market upward. If they showed some
disposition to "stock up" the bear
influences, which they are, apparently,
booking would be routed in no time.
1t has been some time since the South
ern cotton mills lined themselves with
the people who produce the cotton.
They did it once and they made money
by it, but they offended their Now
England and old England friends and
they have not done 1t since. We hear
a lot about how capital helps producers,
but we hardly ever get a sight of that
help except when there is play made
to the gallery. The farmers will get
their relief when they can do with
their cotton as they do with their corn,
raise as much Of it as they need and
take it to the mill, bringing back the
cloth. When the South first began to
build cotton mills we all congratulated
ourselves for it looked as if the pro-
ducer was going to be the manufacture
er, but the controlling interest soon
passed into hands that look very like
hands. The voice is the voice
of Jacob, but the hand is that of Esau.
There's something wrong somewhere.
