Take Your Medicine.

Can it be true? Our information is
that 1900 bales of cotton have been
sold in Clarendon county for future de-
livery, and OF this number about 1000
bales were sold at g. cents, but the bulk
went for 10 cents. The flies of THE
TINES will show that we urged our
farmers not to sell their cotton, taking
the position if those who we're seeking
to make these contracts could afford to
pay men salaries to ride over the coun
trv to solicit future cotton there must
be something IN the way OF big profit
in it for them or they would not spend
their money and time making contracts.
Our advice was not needed by many
and now we have no doubt they regret
their action. We honestly believe if
the farmers had not sold cotton for
future delivery the price, instead Of
being IS, would have been nearer 10
cents. The present prices are being
resisted by the spectators because
they are depending upon the delivery
of cotton bought.
II Clarendon has sold II. 100 bales and
every county has acted similarly fool
ish. the number of bales already bought
is something enormous. Eleven thou
sand bales is 33s per cent. of Claren-
don's crop, and if one-third OF the entire
crop was bought last spring, there IS
every reason TO believe the present,
although the high price. IS not the nat,
ural iull price, but tnat 1t is obtained
under pressure and in spite OF specula-
ton.
Our objection to the future selling
was based upon another thing: we SAD
then it would tend to breed rascalltE
and we say so yet. Already we have
heard of men WHO made contracts Tor
10 cents, who are seeking ways to AVOID
complying, and many Of them Will hna
the way, for it is known that contract
made by one, irresponsible IN law,
amounts to only a matter Of honor and
can not be enforced-there is no blood
in a turnip.
Now that cotton is bringing u cents.
and much Of it was pledged for 10 cents,
there is q disposition on the part OF
some to take advantage of their legal
responsibility to wiggle out and leave
the man they contracted with in the
lurch. They should not do this: if they
made bad bargain they should stick
to it the closer. a man who will not
stand bv his contract is unworthy OF
credit and cannot be regarded an hon.
est man. 1t will not be necessary &c
urge farmers not to sell cotton fol
future delivery next year.

Grit, Gall and GuSh.

There are all manner OF frauds, anu
when one is discovered parading III the
holy vestnents Of the ministry, 1t Is an
ordinary duty to expose it. The news
papers in the West have made special
mention Of the sensational utterances
of Rev. Z. D Bass. of Cairo, III, and
the man seems to be enjoying the no.
toriety he has achieved, but when 1t
becomes known to the people Of Cairo
that their preachers reputation IN his
native State fits him better for the pen
itentiary rock pile than for the pulpit,
perhaps his posing as q moral monitor
will not bear the light Of investigation.
Rev. Bass is Il handsome llau, magnltl-
cient address, fine command OF language
and an eloquent preacher, but his rec
ord is as black as hades He is a NOR
al leper, a menace to society. It was
because of his immortality he was driven
from the pulpit, and for the same cause
he was driven from the presidency OF
an Alabama female College, later he
was up before the courts in Washing
ton and convicted of crime, and now
with grit, gall and gush this wolf COW
cred with sleeps clothing is the bell
weather OF flock of innocents. The
following is recent clipping:

Arms and the Tax.

There are sufficient people In Eng
land and Scotland paying the annual
tax imposed by the inland revenue up
on the use Of armorial bearings to pro-
duce a sum Of S350,00O each year. The
great bulk Of this sum IS paid by peo-
Die who care not an atom either about
their family Of their arms, but pay the
tax regularly simply because they have
carriages or plate heraldically decorat-
ed. The really old families Of the
realm. however, use armorial emblems
for decorative purposes to an extent
almost incredible in the eyes OF those
familiar with them only on note paper,
table silver and carriage panels.

His idea of Scoring.

At a country cricket match in Lam
AYRSHIRE local farmers boy was ap-
pointed scorer, his duties being care
fully explained to him. The first In
ming was not very productive of runs
and soon came to an end, and every
one made a rush for the scorer. Judge
Of their surprise, however, when they
found that not a single mark had been
made In the carefully ruled book that
had been provided
When reproached In somewhat strong
terms the boy was not in the least
Disconnected, but with the most In
eenuous air in the world said:
II was sac eenterested In the sport
that I quite forgot to max the crosses.
But it disna matter-that wee laddie
wi the red face IS the smartest runner
among ye''-London Tit-Bits.
