More About Seed Cotton.
Editor County Record

Editor c County Record
Allow me space, if you please, in
your paper to say a few words in re-
ply to Mr. Jennings idea about high
license on seed cotton. | don't see
how any farmer could sign any pc
tition to take his rights away on
anything that he grows on his farm.
God gives man his own and allows
him to use it as he sees fit; how can
thinking people sign their rights
away, where given by their Maker,
and become slaves? l think those
petitions would have been better had
they been asking the people to set a
price on their cotton and hold it un-
til the price be paid. Beware, farm
ers, that the petition you are sign
ing is not one to sign your rights,
away by the one that puts the price
on your stuff and his.
We would like to add that buying
seed cotton is not the tap-root OF
liquor selling, as Mr. Jennings stated
Very respectfully,
