.HARD TsSRss TALg.

The tendency to cry ''hard times" %
leading to the use Of some choice Ian.
guage. and it Is hard to imagine any
particular evil that ia not either here
now or coming at an early date. 1t is
decidedly fashionable" to cry hard
times, and some of the correspondents
Of The Intelligencer can play 1t up In
good style. A clipping from an article
sent in recently from Anderson county
gives such q doleful picture that we
reproduce there. 1t Is decidedly of
different tone from the logic OF the
conversation quoted In Thursdays
paper, In which the hopeful young far
mer said: "Others need blamed
sight more sympathy than the farmer.
In six months he will have another
crop to harvest, and anyway he can
live at home" Yes, we must be optim-
istic. Things are never so bad that
they could not be worse. However. we
feel that they cannot get much worse
in the section described by our cor
respondent He says:
''The farmers OF this section are
very much depressed with cotton 6 3-4
cents per pound and only making
about half a crop and half OF what
we thought we'd make 10 roting and
the army worms are here too. So what
Is to become Of the farmer?'

"I BUY AT HOME,

Recently The Intelligencer publish

persons were kind enough to say that
1t was timely expression of warnine
that IL needed would keep much mon.
sy at home that is now being sent
away for merchandise that could as
well be purchased at home. and much
more safely. In reading recently we
came across the following reasons
why one should buy at home, an6
these are also so much to the point
that we have decided to give the
readers oe The Intelligencer the bene-
it OF these good reasons, as given out
by Ed De Camp in The Gaffney Led
ger:
Because my interests.
Because the community that Is good
enough for me to live in is good
enough for me to buy In.
Because believe in transacting
business with my friends.
Because I want to see the goods.
Because want to get what / buy
when I lay for 1t.
Because every dollar spend at
home stays at home and works for
tbs welfare os my town.
Because the man / buy from stands
Jack of the goods.
Because I sell what / produce here
at home.
Because the man I buy from helps
support my school, my church. my
lodge, my home.
Because, when Ill luck. misfortune,
or bereavement comes. the man I.
buy from is here with his kindly
greetings. his word of cheer. and his
pocketbook, IL need be.
