MARKET REPORTS


thing for the producers of the State
In quoting the prices paid each day
on the markets. This will do much
good In equalizing the prices being
paid for the products OF the farm. 1t
ls matter, however. that must be.
handled with great care. TO keep from
discriminating against certain mar
kets. and the reports made will bear
watching, for II Is considered a good
thing for any place to have a good
market. and the highest in the State"
The Intelligencer yesterday had an
editorial stating that Anderson was
one of the leading cotton markets In
the State. This Is borne out by the
quotations from every section OF the
State as published today in the Colum-
bis State. The market in Anderson
did not get into the report, but that
does not prevent our knowing at least
that the price. paid for cotton In An.
aeFson was as high as anywhere in
the State. and higher than In all but
TWO E1arkets, and one of them. Honea
Path, Is in Anderson county. These
reports shoy great disparity in the
prices teing paid for staple products
Evidently In c great many places the
farmers are being deprived Of a reas-
enable and fair price for their pro-
ducts.
This Is the work that the depart
ment Of Commerce and Agriculture
should perform. If Col. Ebbie would
give his attention TO such matters and
not to "hot air" tours of the State,
talking about things not in his Zine"
and of which his real knowledge Is
somewhat limited. the people OF the
State would not be losing confidence
In him and his work. Why has not
this been done? Why was Il left for a
newspaper to see the importance Of
such systematic daily report? We
feel sure that all the papers In the
State would be delighted to carry lust
such Information. and the taxpayers
would not feel at all "sore" IL their
money should be spent In doing lust
this kind OF work. AS II is there seems
% be only one newspaper In the State
mat can get anything from this office.
unless 1t is copied from this favored
newspaper.
