It is probable that a IL cent stamp
will be issued for domestic use, as at
present two s cent stamps, or a 10 cent
and a 2 cent stamp are sold for the
ordinary registered letter, where one 10

The new fee is in line with the desire
of Postmaster General Hitchcock to
overcome the deficit in the postof-

Mr.. Davis enjoyed an advantage at
the outbreak of the war. He enjoyed
the universal confidence of the peo-

he was a trained military man helped.
Mr.. Lincoln did not enjoy the con-

or of congress or even of his cabinet.
This want of confidence in the begin

this difficulty testifies to his remark

Now Abe Lincoln was not only a
statesman but a politician. He was
the author of the phrase "A govern

to his words the better government

We will say that South Carolina
will make in 1908 approximately l.
100000 bales of cotton, valued at $46
per bale. This makes a total of $780,
100000. So we have $55,2OO,OOO
worth Of cotton money to pay $751;
100000 with. Deduct our cotton crop
from the indetedness and we are still
in debt $24,1O0,000. Farmers, stop,
consider and think and apply the re-
medy. Organization, cooperation and
diversification Of crops. Every bale
Of cotton that has been sold Of the
1908 crop has been sold below its ac-
tual value $40 per bale. Therefore we
have lost on the 1908 crop $24,OOO,OOO,
which would have about brought us
out even and paid our Indebtedness.
Why haven't we got the $40 per bale
we ought to have had? Is it because
conditions did not warrant it? No.
The cause is that the farmer who pro-
duced it did not cooperate and use
good business judgment in selling 1t,
and also in producing it. Now, let
us turn this old COW around. We
have been feeding her and the other
fellow has been getting the milk. Now,
it is time we farmers have the milk
end of her and make the other fellow
feed her, and conditions will begin
at once to change. With conditions
staring Us in the face as they do to-
day, what is our first and greatest
duties as farmers? It is to cut the
acreage of cotton at least 30 per
cent, plant in food crops, and also
cut fertilizer bills at least 35 per cent.
So this is the first step to take in
setting the price for the 1909 crop,
and if it is done it will not fail to
make a remunerative price for the
grower. How can any farmer pros
per when he buys corn for 81 per
bushel while he could raise it him
self for 35 cents? He buys bacon at
10 cents per pound when he can grow
it from to cents per pound. Why
should he pay 1925 to $3.50 for horses
and mules when he can raise just as
nice ones for 800? And why should
farmer buy hay for $25 per ton
when he can raise it and put it in his
barn for IS per ton. Now, is there
any business pr common sense IN
the above mentioned? IF your bank
er was to 90 North and borrow mon
ey for + per cent. and bring it here
and loan it to YOU for per cent,
how long would he be in the banking
business? If your merchant bought
shoes for $1.25 and sold them to You
for 81, how long would he be in the
merchant business? It would only
be a short time until he would fail. |
want to urge every farmer to educate
himself to be business man. There

than farmin" if business methods are
applied to it. I hope that every far
mcr will read the report Of the coun-
try life commission and adopt the
