he asks how much they will pay Tor
! it. This time, fortunately, the small
farmer sold his cotton for fair price
as fast as he got it out, and made
some meat and a fair crop OF corn,
and is in the best shape he has been
in since the war. The large farmer
sold a good lot OF his cotton early IN
the fall for fair price and he is
able to hold the balance till some
BODY wants it worse than he does;
at least, this is the case in this part
of Greenville county. There are great
cribs of corn in this county that have
not vet been opened and cotton
plenty to keep.
Let the men who make that which
the world lives on demand a ta1r
remuneration for their care and toll
and assert their rights at least to
price their products. There are plenty
of farmers up here who say they are
going to reduce the acreage and hold
on to the present part OF unsold crop.
When cotton brings 10 ! cents the
men who have it will turn it loose
and then the merchants will sell their
goods. The farmer will be in a cheer
full mood, because he will feel like ne
is being rewarded for his toll.
