ADVICE TO COTTON GROWERS.
MIR. ID. X. COkcr Discusses the Bag-
ging and Tie Question.

(From the IIartsville MessengerD
The last Legislature passed an Act
making ii illegal for buyers of cotton
to make any deduction from the
weight or price of any bale of cotton
on account Of bagging and ties, pro-
vided they are not over per cent Of
the gross weight of the bale.
I learned "A short time ago that one
of the largest and strongest firms Of
exporters doing business in this sec
tion would instruct their buyers not
to purchase any cotton that carried
n gre9t2r amount of bagging and ties
than was formerly allowablc-i O..

Timely Observations.

DuVall is the logical candidate for
the local optionists to support for
lieutenant governor, as his opponent.
Smith, IS for prohibition. Both are
apparently good men for the place
they seek.
Many voters do not think seriously
enough when it comes to selecting
their candidate for lieutenant COVER
nor. 1t should be remembered that
the man who fills this office may some
day be governor, in case of any mis-
fortune Detailing the chief executive
of the State. Again, the lieutenant
governor is presiding officer of the
Senate and should be a man of sound
judgment and dignity in this posi-
ton.
If voter is a conscientious local
optionist and will vote for either
Mcleod or Blease, then he should
vote for Duvall, if for no other rea-
son. Mcleod or Blease ballot
Dr. Ray, in his speech, impresses

He should be given credit, though, for

The prohibitionists seem to be get
ting more and more split I'D. The
Brunson-Featherston controversy will
undoubtedly have it's effect one way or
another and cause still more dissen-
sion in the ranks. This party will
hardly see victory this year, and
should not expect it under the cir
cumstances
What is the matter with the Con-
federate Home in Columbia? One Of
the county candidates mentioned some
thing about a coming investigation
in his speech a few days ago. When
shall investigations cease?
Eenator Clifton's declaration that
the women and the business men can
do more to put down the evils of
whiskey drinking than legislation is
undoubtedly true, and these classes
are working in that direction and
have been for some time. No true
woman and no sane business man
will encourage the drinking of in
toXicants.

RENfBERT.

Rem0ert. Aug. 22.-We lave had
so many heavy rains during the past
week. that our cotton, on all lands
Except bottom lands), is failing and
shedding.
The farmers, as rule, are having
tough time trying to save their fod-
der and a great deal of il. if saved
at all, will be damaged. 1t is most
time for the humming of the cotton
gin, the happy song of the darky
with his sack on, the smile of the
store clerk as he deals out cheese and
crackers, and many will be glad that
1t is harvest time, while others with
short crops will be sorry because ii
is pay time.
There is some sickness in our COM
munity. and we fear that unless we
have more sunshine there will
be a great deal of sickness.
The meeting at McLeod's Chapel
was indeed good one, and while we
do not know the name of the preach
er, who assisted the pastor, still let
us say that he is an able preacher,
and labored hard for the upbuilding
of the church, and for the salvation
of lost souls.
Our public roads are in a very bad
condition, but no wonder; for if you
should repair them one day, they are
likely to be washed away the next,
and no man can do anything under
such conditions as these. I've trust
ed, however, that our worthy supervis-
or will try by some means or other to
do something for the road leading
from Dinkins mill to the public road
near Borden's. This road is in an
awful fix, and has been for twelve
months. A stranger could not tell
by travelling it, that it was a public
road. Some people along this road
don't seem to understand that it is,
or was, a public road, for they plow
and plant in 1t.
I've noticed that those of this sec
ton who have been attending the
teachers summer school in Sumter
have returned home, except our
friend (Hagood, why, what is the
matter old boy, that you can't get
out too? We hope you haven't been
kept in for disobedience. If YOU
have. whistle softly and we will say

"Cnfavorable reports come from

NO shedding is reported except in

checked over a limited and scattered
territory. composed mainly Of the
lower Pan Handle, northern and ex-

1t heavily In price.

II heavily In price.
After looking into the matter most
carefully / have come to the conclu-
sion that it will not be to the far
mer's interest to change the weight
OF covering on his cotton, but that
he should continue to use the amount
Of bagging and ties heretofore al
lowable. My reasons for this conclu-
sion are
1st Because the law cannot force
any one to buy something he does
not want.
2nd. The law cannot force mill
and exporter to offer more for anv
bale or lot of cotton than they choose
to offer.
3rd. Experience teaches that the
best way to secure a maximum price
for any product Is to put it up in the
shape in which it is desired by the
greatest number. This stimulates
competition and active competition
tends to enhance prices.
There are, I think, several reasons
why this market has usually been
able to pay comparatively high prices
for cotton. The principal reason tor
this is that buyers want Hartsville
cotton, and want it badly. They want
it because it is of good grade, be-
cause it is billed at correct weights
and correct grades and because car
ries no more bagging and ties l..an
they wish.
If ] could find sale for cotton with
ten yards of bagging as readily and
at as good price as for that carrying
only six yards, l would certainly ad-
wise the farmers to use the greater
amount, for it would be to their ad-
vantage to do so. / do not believe,
however, notwithstanding the recent
ly passed law, that there is any prac-
ticabe way to force the cotton mills
and exporters to accept cotton with
large amount of bagging, on the
same terms as that having a smaller
amount. Such an attempt would un-
doubetedly injure the reputation of
this market, cause much friction and
hard feeling and would not, I be-
lieve, result in any good to the farm
er.
The good reputation of this market
has unquestionably been of benefit to
the farmer in the past and l ask the
cooperation of all FARMERS and gin
ners in keeping that reputation at it's
form high standard, promising my
continued efforts to that end.
Whatever the individual farmer
may decide to do he cannot help
realize that no buyer can handle in
large quantity and at full market
prices any product for which there
is not a ready demand, and this will
undoubtedly be the case with refer
ence to cotton with per cent. of
covering unless some of the cotton
firms doing business in this terri
tory recede from the position they
nave taken. David r. Cocker.
