Farmers In The Saddle.
From the Sumter Item.

Il
: The anxiety Of the cotton mill
, men to help the Southern Cotton
Growers Association in fixing
the price Of cotton is the most
significant tiibute to the strength
of the Associations position that
the organization has vet received.
| Heretofore the spinncrs and oper-
ators arrogatcd to themselves full
power to fix the price Of cotton
from day to day, and they never
once permitted the cotton grow
crs to enter into their considera-
tons. The cotton growers had to
accept the price they offered for
their cotton or not sell it at all.
Last year this time the cotton
splnners and the spectators, Of
whom Mr.. Theodore H. Price is
leading figure, were laughing
at the farmers and their proposed
Association to regulate the price
Of cotton. But the demonstrated
power of the Association has
brought about a wonderful change
in their attitude in the brief space
Of twelve months. The farmers
are in the saddle now and if thev
will stick together and use their
power wisely they can continue
to fix the price of cotton for years
to come. The whole secret lies
in not producing sufficient to glut
the market Of the world and in
not marketing the entire crop
within ninety days to four months
from the. time the harvest season
opens.

more taxes per annum in Lancas-
ter county now than we paid the
year before the dispensary was
established. In addition TO this
the county gets So 900. or more
from the dispensary profits.
WHERE THE SCHOOL MONEY
COMES FROM.
There IS hue and cry as to
what will become Of the public
schools when the dispcnsary is
voted out Of Lancaster county.
Inquiry of Mr.. Rowcll, the ex-
Supt. OF Education, elicits the
fact that the amount received last
year from the dispcnsary fund by
the schools Of this county was
sixty cents per scholar. How
many schools in the county will
close or shorten their terms for
the loss OF 90 cents per scholar?
Where does the money come
from which supports the schools
now? A glance at the figures
above will show. In 1901 the
total taxes for all school purposes
amounted to $6,324.Io. Last
year the total taxes for school
purposes were $I5,ooI.o3-near-
ly $4,000. more than in 1901. 1t
is the special levies being made
in school districts throughout the
county that is building up good
schools all over the county and
not the pitiful sum of6o cents per
annum per scholar that is doing
it. The sober. intelligent, pro-
grcssivc citizens Of our country
communities are doing what they
can to build up healthy moral
and religious sentiment in the
minds and hearts Of the young by
supporting good schools and
churches in their midst. 1t is
these progressive men who by
special tax levies and individual
help, and not the 90 cents per
scholar which comes from the
dispensary that gives you full
school terms.
We have said enough. All we
desire is that you study the fig
ures and facts and reach your
own conclusions.

FIGURES AND FACTS

how much abolishing the dispen-
sary will increase the taxes Of the
taxpayers Of Lancaster county.
Much has also been said as to the
effect it would have on the terms
OF the public schools. The un-
thinking man can perhaps be
duped into voting to retain an in
stitution in our county which is
taking the bread out Of the
mouths Of helpless mothers and
children, that is placing the great
est temptation before our men
and boys, in short, that is the
greatest agency the devil has on
earth, but the calculating man
will not gulp down any and every
statement he hears. If he be a
Christian or a processing Chris
tan, interested in the elevation of
his tellowman, in the building up
OF Christian citizenship, then
figures one way or the other, will
have no weight with him. Dol
lars cannot sway such a one from
the plain path of his Christian
duty. Bribes or graft in the way
Of reduction Of his taxes will
weigh nausht with such a man.
But, there is 4 calculating class
men who count the cost, and it
is this class to which we submit
the following comparison of fig
ures taken from the tax duplicates
Of 1891, the year before the dis
pensory was established, and
1904, the year just ended, from
which it will be seen that taxes
were much lower before the ad-
vent of the dispensary than they
are now. The questions for these
calculating men to consider are,
we're not affairs more economical
ly administered then, than now?
Does revenue derived from the
sale Of whiskey promote economy
or encourage extravaganza in the
administration Of public affairs?
Perhaps these figures will aid him
in reaching conclusions:
