three or four times as large from
the farmers alone. The advent OF
more money will bring diversified
industries among the farmers and
eventually will attract manufactur-
ers to the market towns.
If there are idle farms in the
county, instead of calling meetings
to secure immigration, call meet
ings to encourage the farmers who
know the country and are loyal to
it, to universally adopt the follow.
ing pan. First, provide their own
food supplies from the farm. Sec
ond, double the average product on
every acre under cultivation and let
each worker on the farm by the use
of better teams and tools, till three
times as many acres as at present,
not in the one crops in variety
of diversified and pl ttable crops.
This would cause an Immediate de-
mand for more land and would
provide the money to pay for it
This makes every man on the farm
more than six times the industrial
power he now is and gives him a
love of the farm. This is better
than to leave him in discouragement
and secure immigrants to come and
buy him out
[ should not speak so positively,
only | have observed for a quarter
of a century that where the South
ern merchants have changed from
an "'advance system to cash
system, they have prospered very
much more than in former years
and the numker of failures is very
much less. OF course, it is not
meant that there should beno cred
its, but practically there should be
little necessity for them until the
crop is actually ready for harvest, !,
{ Ton. Or better still, theffarnier ca
; get his money from the bank an,
pay cash IN all cases, if there is
| lack of ready money.
The advance system bears dowl
upon the cotton farmer with specia
hardship. His crop is either solc
at once or is forced to the gin apt
warehouse so as to secure loans. /
the cotton farmer is not forced Il
sell to raise mouey or to pay debt.
ne VIII store his crop on his farm
and market at his leisure, which is
III the Interests of all parties.
1t appears to me, therefore, that
the farmer will immeasurablv gain
I when he produces what he has hitb.
erto bought IN the way of living
he is not compelled to sell his crov
Immediately upon h harvest.
When he does sell he trades for
cash The grea er amount of money
he has is very helpful to the family
but the stimulus to his self respect
is perhaps the most important item
to be considered. The merchant
prospers by the great volume of
business and by the quick return of
his money. 1t seems to me that
these points should he urged upon
all the people.

ADVANCE SYSTEM
A BAD PRACTICE
FOR BOTH THE MERCHANT and FAR
hER. NO ADVANTAGE.
MERCHANT TAKES CHANCES
Charges High Prices But In
the End Loses. Burden

MERCHANT TAKES CHANCES

For many years it has been the |
custom of many Southern farmers
to make. their crop upon the cad
vance system and while this has
been regarded as an economic error
on the side of the farmer, by many
merchants it has been thought that
it was a very profitable way of
buying cotton.
The farmer realized that as a
matter of safety it was better to
make the food consumed bv his
family and his stock upon the farm,
rather than to purchase it, and es-
pecially when he had to promise
payment out of crop which had
not as yet been made. | have been
watching this phase of country life
IN the South for many years and
have come to the conclusion that
the "advance system is just as
great a mistake oh the part of the
merchant us it is on the part of the
farmer, for the following reasons:
First, the merchant takes great
s, which, OF course, be tries to
ay ancreased charges. But.
- sTsTfffas Oh IRE are -
kfticies Is a high percentage
3 profit will adhere to, and the
merchant is practically trading golo
fora a promise to pay. If the cror

carry and carry and possibly may
ultimately, in thousands of cases
be oblidged to take the farm. for
which he has no use, and under
Doll weevil conditions is difficult TO
handle proftably upon a tenant
system.
Under cash system there will
be great reduction III the sales of
some staple foods such as bacon.
potatoes, beans, lard, vegetables.
canned goods, hay, corn, etc, all
articles that carry low prof,s The
farmer is rarely hoarder of money
and If he saves two hundred dollars
or more by producing all his food
supplies at home he has that much
More to spend when the crop is
made, and it is cash.
Under the cash system the farmer
wall buy with his surplus more drv
goods, clothing, shoes, furniture
ETC., on which there is q much
greater profit for the merchant than
on staple articles of food The
merchant can turn his money in 80
days, instead of year. Ten per
cent clear proht turned monthly is
] better than l20 percent gain re.

FURNACE HEATS TOO WELL
Gets Excessively Hot and Damages
HOuse q Extent of over

An overhested furnace started a serious
fire al the house of G. N. Barnes. 1873
South Twenty-eighth street. just before
noon Tuesday while the family Was not at
home and only a washwoman was at the
house. Following the pipes, the fire ex-
tended to practically all parts Of the house
and did damage at about half
the value Of the structure, or from u.0o to
a,bO0
Howard over, the l5-yeRr-old son Of r
r. over. who lives next door north from
the Barnes residence. discovered the fire
m the cellar and on the roof and turned in
the alarm. The high wind prevented the
best of results from the work OF the fire
department.. but thu blaze was eztinguished
in a short time after It's arrival.
Most OF the furniture and other loose
property in the house WAS removed and
saved from being burned by the neighbors,
and hot coffee was served TO the firemen
and, volunteer workers by the over family
after the fire was put out
Mr.. Barnes Is a travelling optician and
is not in the city at this time. When
the fire occurred Mrs. Barnes was down
town shopping and could nos be located
while the daughter, Annie. had not re-
turned from Park school. II is not known
whether or not any insurance was carried
on the house. but the affirmative Is thought
