MR.. CUNINGHAM'S LETTER.

The letter of Mr.. Clarence Cunning
ham of Waterloo, printed in the Her.
aid last week, was full of good, sound
common sense Some of it's express
sions we do not endorse but the general
purport of the letter was we'll calculated
to do good. Fifteen cents cotton alone,
as Mr.. Cunningham says, will not cause
prosperity, the farmers should raise
their horses and mules, particularly
mules, and they should make the farms
self-supporting and learn to take care
Uf themselves, regardless of prices of
commodities raised in the West.
In this connection, we may add that
we hope that Mr.. Cunningham will con-
tinuc to write on the line of his letter
to the Herald. We think he is wrong
in many of his political views but it is
very generally conceded in this county
that THE ADVERTISER is t~ce-totally
wrong in political matters, so Mr.. Gun
ingham's opinions are all the more
valuable. We repeat that we hope that
Mr.. Cunningham will persist in his
preaching. He is a broadly and thor
oughly educated man, a man of uncom-
mon attainments in scholarship, and he
is in a position to do a world of good.
Moreover, he is not afraid to speak out
on any subject and it is worth much to
the farmers and others that they have
a man who no only has information but
is willing to use it for the benefit of his
fellows.

G%reenviIle, May 1O.-Effects of the
recent cold have been far reaching in
this and adjoining counties. All low
land cotton has been either killed or
badly injured in many localities. Farm
ers have already gone to work to pillow
up the damaged crop, and will plant the
land in corn and ONE will replant in
cotton. The terrific hail storm of last
Sunday so injured the crop that it could
not stand the cold and frost following.
Cotton planted on the high lands has
Jared much better, but all has been in
jured to some extent.
