when no one was trying to help them.
especially when cotton was selling in

south does finance the large full crops

second is answered by the fact that the
actual farmer, cotton raiser, has an
actual active monetary interest in the
transaction and deal, which causes him
to act as solid south as he has always
done in politics of national character,
