ana TINS finally resulted in the SEN
satlon of something crawling nm his
throat and kicking and tearing at the
llnlng thereof. After five weeks the
ilzard seemed to have taken on
tremendous growth. Henson couId
plalnly feel its movements in the All
domen and its failure to CRAFTY it's
apparent thirst caused the lizard TO
stampede, rush about the stomach
ana up from it as though irving TO
reach the throat.
"A physician was consulted and re-
peated attempts were made to kill
the reptile with parasite remedies
1t yielded to none, and Henson be-
came of the opinion that he must
die.
Among his confidants was an aged
negro man, and the latter said he
mad heard of such things before, but
OF no one ever getting over it.
henson at length, after much med
ltatlon, determined upon an exDeri-
ment that might result fatally or
might give him relief. He carried
out his plan, which was as follows:
He went to the drinking place at
the springs rivulet and prepared to
spend several hours there. A burn
ing thirst and nausea were then up-
on him, and his plan was to resist
the taking of water until either he
or the reptile died. This required
great fortitude and courage, as he
suffered much when these periods of
thirst were on him When thew
+ reached certain stage he would feel
the frenZied Cavortings of the thing
within him and its rush upward as
though to reach his throat. At
times he would almost choke as the
obstruction would shut off the air
tubes of his lungs
When at length his suffering be-
came almost unbearable he stretched
I himself out on the bank of the rivu-
let with his face over the water in
the position that he had often as
sumed in drinking. He then opened
his mouth wide, and catching hold
OF the root of tree with one hand
for support and of a stone in the
bottom of the creek with the other
hand he prepared to wrestle it out
with the reptile. He was determined
that if in his power one or the other
should succumb there on the bank
of the sparkling spring.
Henson could see his own face
mirrowed in the water, and it was
a hideous picture. At times dis
torted with muscles and veins ex-
tended, with eyes bullying, with
tongue at periods forced from his
mouth as though choked with a
hangman's rope. His face would be-
come discolored and be reflected pur-
plish black during his worst choking
paroxisms. All this he can now re-
member distinctly, although at the
time he made no mental note of it.

Hanson had been in the habit of
drinking from a ripping rivulet that

What Can a Bale of Cotton Buy?

What can a bale of cotton buy?
What can the grower of the
staple obtain in exchange for it?
Considered superficially t h i S
question might seem an easy one
to answer, and theanswer, in the
light of the change from the
starvation prices of cotton in the
last decade of the nineteenth
century to fair prices of the first
decade of the twentieth century,
might lead to a conclusion that
cotton growers are rolling in un.
accustomed wealth. That con-
clusion would hardly square with
facts. 1t would be dominated
by the confusion of arising from
the use of the dollar idea in es.
timating the value of cotton with.
out due regard for the dollar
idea in estimating the value of
things for which cotton is ex-
changed. If there weae no cur
ency, 40 money medium of ex-
change, no metal standard of
value OF varying intrinsic value
itself. the problem of low prices
or of high prices for commodities
would be simplified and the in
dividual producer would meas
ure the value of it's product in
terms of other products that he
might obtain in exchange for it..
How interesting the develop
ments from such a return in. this
latter day to the primitive truck
ing system of exchange might
J be is suggested in a brief consid-
Grafton OF the purchasing power
of 500.pound bale of cotton in a
year of low prices :" such as
Cheraw chronicle. [volume] (Cheraw, S.C.) 1896-2005, 1910-02-24

1898, and in a year of high
prices" such as 1908. The full
revelation would come from knowl-
edge of the wholesale prices re-
ceived by the cotton grower and
the retail prices he must pay for
most of his purchases. But it
is practically impossible to make
the study upon the retail basis,
inasmnch az so many elements
enter into the question of retail
prices as paid by the ultimate
consumer. However a compari-
son of average annual wholesale
prices of certain articles, meas
ured by the dollar, of arbitrarily
fixed value itself, but varying
frequently in purchasing power,
will give one an inkling to the
meaning to the power of cotton
of the advance in prices in the
past 10 years. The average price
of a 50O.pound bale of upland mid
ding cotton in 1893 was $29.66;
the average price of the same
kind of bale in 1908 was a little
less than $52.35. Those were
wholesale prices. What the bales
could buy of other articles at
wholesale prices in the two years

If all cotton growers were able
to live at home, that is, to raise
such food supplies as corn, wheat,
beans, rice. live stock, potatoes,
ETC.; if everyone had his own
granary and smokehouse instead
of drawingupon the West in those
particulars, there would be little
use in comparing the relative
prices of cotton and oLher farm
products. But in view Of the
fact that some cotton growers
pay too little heed to raising
home crops, it is interesting to
note that cotton, in spite OF its
increased price, could buy less
corn, less cornmeal and fewer
beans at wholesale in 1908 than
iu 1898, and that, of course, there
was even a greater difference
when it came to retail prices. Be-
tween 1893 and 1903 the dollar
value of a bale of cotton increas
ed more tnan 76 per cent, but
it's value in exchange for other
direct or indirect farm products
was nothing like as much, the
bale of cotton being able to buy
jim 1908 at wholesale only 90 pei
