SaQaestlOns 10 Farmers

Editor of the Star Herald
Please admit me space for a few
scattering thoughts OF the times
aud conditions Of the present day.
There Is something radically wrong
aud who is to blame. Reasons too
numerous to mention. But first is
the credit system. The farmers
are in debt. The county Is in debt
S26, 900, the state is IN debt over
$1,000, 600. The farmers OF the
United States owe to European
Capitalists for loans on farms lands
IS, 900, 900, 600.
: The above conditions will apply
TO most of the Southern states.
The Capitalists are growing rich.
er and the laboungmen are growing
poorer. We are drifting like the
sands OF the sea shore. The time
has come and nov, is for careful
thought. We have to meet the
above conditions, yet after the
dreadful drouth, and the awful
European war, makes the burdens
more heavy to bear, but remember
the darkest hour comes just before
day. We can and will get out Of
debt and yet be independent, if we
will, but every farmer will have to
depend on his own resources, in
stead of the capitalist and the credit
merchants. a. per cent of the
farmers and laboring men are sup
porting aud feeding all The balance
Of the people.
