THE PRICE OF PROVISIONS.
The steady advance in the price
of the necessaries of life, in this
section, has now become a serious
matter.
Corn at $1.00 per bushel, and
meat at 10 to 12 cents per pound,
are rare prices for meat aud bread
in this community, and with other
articles#>f food at proportionate
prices, they begin to make the sit¬
uation look somewhat gloomy for
those who have to buy all they
consume.
If our people were producing
these articles here at home, it would
he all right ; but the trouble is, we
are sending the money to other sec
turns for them, aud are paying for
them with 7-eents cotto n
The corn crop was a partial fail
ure aU over the country the past
year, a d that is what makes it es
F hard on our section, as we
h tiling with which to but
c - ., our cheap cotton.
,ie Star has always advocated
th raising of corn in this section,
am ; those who have followed that
jvl tn, aud have raised their own
corn and meat, are now in good
shape to pull through she summer,
until a uew crop can be raised.
The co: n crop \ as very sh< rt in
this section, the past year, and but
f.w farmers raised a full crop. This
is unfortunate for them, as well as
for the whole community. It is to
be hoped that such a failure will
not happen again in years, lint
the risk ought fo be taken, and I
enough corn to insure a suffieiency
for home consumption, under ordi¬
nary conditions, should always Ic
jl .- tcd. No farmer can afford
raise cotton, at the present price, 1
to buy his meat and bread, even at
lower prices than these articles
now command in this market, and
are even likely to rise higher be
fore :
another crop can be raised. |
Experience teaches a dear lesson, j
and it may be that the present con
dition of affairs in Newton county,
may yet prove a blessing in dis
guise. \ e t.iii a i .tn. lope <a
it will. Hut, it is a fact beyond
dispute, that , the farmers . ot tins , .
section have had ample 1 experience 1
in the past, and they ought to have
profited by it to a greater extent
than they did.
We can at least hope that every
| farmer, who can do so, will in the
future make a more strenuous ef
| f or t to raise his own meat and bread
at home, and not depend no liity
ing them with cheap and uncertain
cotton.
When all can do that, we are
I sure we will have a brighter pros
pect for prosperity than we now
have in this section.
Good Roads Convention.
A good roads convention will be
held in Augusta from the 20th to
the 25th inst.
It is attracting unusual atten
tion, and the people of Augusta
are preparing . to make 1 it a great ____.
success.
The business men of that sec
tion are taking a lively interest
in the movement, which means it
will be made a success..
The railroads, we understand,
will give reduced xates to those who
wish to attend.

! They Endorse Col. Ml,
On Thursday, Jan. 2 1902, the
j p ct aii Merchants’ Association of
.Savannah, which practically com¬
prises all of the retail merchants of
hat city, adopted a
strong ] y endorsing Col. J. H.
till for governor.
The Retail Merchants’ Associa
tion is a very strong organization,
^j le j r endorsement of Col.
till’s candidacy for governor speaks
well for him, and will have a wide
influence in its effect over the state.
The resolution is as follows :
“Resolved, That this asso
j ciatiou fully recognizes and
thoroughly appreciates theabil
itv, worth, and individuality
> of Col. J. H. Estill, and de¬
clares confidence in his ability
to fill the high office, of gov¬
i < ernor, not only with honor to
himself, but v.’ith credit, wis¬ i
dom, justice and moderation
to all classes of citizens of this
j great commonwealth.
The resolution concludes by
calliug upon all who have the
interest of the state at heart to
vote for Colonel Estill.
