There is no way of ascertaining how
this episode would have ended had it
been permitted to continue its natural
course. Perhaps it had already ended.
AS far as this irate young lady was
concerned, perhaps it was all over
with Tom, and he was properly brand

that may be. right at this juncture
there came an interruption sufficiently
startling to jolt both of them from
even so absorbing a situation as the
present one.
From somewhere forward, without
the slightest warning, there broke
forth noise of scufling and of a man
cursing. The intent behind the tumult
was so sinister and so wickedly pur-
poseful, that. in terror, the girl in

What is to be the outcome for the farmers?
The reduction IN the price of cotton has resulted
in doubling the debts that were contracted to
make this years crop. How is the farmer ever
to pay out? Already there is a sentiment being
expressed that cotton will be left in the field
ungathered, the price will not Justify the ten
ant and cr0pper to do the work Of harvesting.
In a trip from .GroVetown TO near Little River q
few days ago by one~of the thoughtful and rep
resentatiVe planters of this section he says that
he saw not more than four or five hands picking
cotton along the entire route and that he heard
much talk about leaving the crop in the field.
The talk is that there is no chance to pay out
with the products Of the farm at present prices
and that it will be cheaper to turn the crop over
to the creditors in the field than to work for
nothing to gather it and then still be in debt
The argument is that if all that is mOrtgaged be
turned over to the creditors and the debts thus
cancelled, at least the work and worry and loss of
time gathering will be saved. Already there have
been q few to desert their crops and move away.
I know Of two such cases.

We arc likewise informed that Hoke Smith

If the President bought Be. and Smith

Senator Hoke Smith and Woodrow Wilson
and ". t. Anderson will attend to all this.
The Presidents salary is more than 5000
a day, besides the amount given him to buy
grub with.
He has already telegraphed to Atlanta to
have Several bales of cotton bought on his
account"
The several bales may possibly consume
one whole day salary.
What more could you expect of the Presi-
dent who was claimed to be "a Southern
man?'
He inhenced the Government to give 49,
OOO,000 for the purchase Of the product Of the
silver miners.
He Influenced Congress to appropriate 3d.
100000 to insure the vessels of the American
Ship Trust.
He set the printing machines going and
gave the Wall Street bankers Thousand MIL
lion dollars, on their rotten stocks and bonds.
He heartily favored the paying out OF mil
lions of your money, to bring home the
American globe-trotters who were having q
good time in Europe.
He gave the National Banks another $780,
100000 on paper collateral, under the Aid
rich Vreeland act which the vile Republicans
passed.
