Tlie onllook is much hrigliter for g- re ul pn s >erity now than it has been in several months. Our roit’rrn financial institutions ■ ent to work and prepared a wav 4o moxe tlie cottm rop i.i spite of the fact that New York and other places had locked up their money Tnd refused to iet us have it. See ing that we were independent and .ere not obliged to have their juoney, they have turned it loose frithrut. premium and that with out our asking and are now pre paring to ship all the money need- Jd to move the cotton crop. To gether with this the markets have xpennd up with a strong (one and xn upward tendency and the plan ters are realizing more than they expected when they planted tlie ■crop. Money is circulating freely and everybody feels better. The mills of all kinds that have . been shut down for several weeks have opened in full blast and given employment to the thousands that ;have bef“n idle. These mills claim- <cd to shut down on account of a ■surplus of manufactured products that they could not sell. This is •denied by the wholesale men who say that the mills cannot fun.idi them goods to supply tlie demand. These mills now have large orders .on hand and there is no danger of their shutting down again soon. The people, consequently, feel, better, turn loose their money freely and having plenty to eat in the cribs and smoke-houses, are letting the cry of hard times go .and the recently prevailing uneas iness is being dissipated. It’s time to feel good after cry ing hard times so long. What wo Read. for cotton. I will confess that I did wrong in not demanding my rights and. , , duty of reading The report.

Take for instance the subject of reading A few years ago the mass of the ■people would rend n (thing of a political or national nature. They took their homo paper for the so- •ciul gossip and county news an 1 -possibly a city weekly to keep up •xvith general topics. They believ ed in the old maxim that, “The Lord helps those who help them selves” and they studied to make their individual business successes. The panic came. They waked up to tlie fact that times were ‘-hard” Would be leaders heralded tveiy- xvhere that tlie whole trouble was tn the government and began to is sue political newspapers to pro pagate their ideas. Many of the people willing tocatcli at an} tiling that promised help eagerly sought after and read these papers. And now after such reading for two or three years they know more (or honestly be.i ive they do) about governmental alfairs than Cleve land, Gordon or Crisp. Many of them claim to be too poor to sub- ■scribc for their home paper and keep posted on local alfairs but they always have a dollar to pay for the paper after their political views and read them avariciously, committing much that pleases them to memory and repeat the statements of their political lead ers as the sacred truth. Well, this is a free country and every man has a perfect'Tight to andJs^UWTirnteed by law the lib- "er<y of his opinions and the ex pression of the same, and we have nr. objection. But we do regret to see that our people are someivhat imbibing J.he socialistic, anarchis tic, and communistic ideas as ad vanced by evil designing leaders and many seeds of discord and dis content are sown that are only evil in their tendency. Let our people be careful what they read, for it is here a little and there a little that sum up the great whole that make up ourhappincss or discontent. Let us not imbibe such doctrines as will make us look at our neighbors with suspi cion and distrust everybody, for they can do us no good They cannot better our condition finan cially, morally or mentally and will only make us discontented and un- liappy. ed of the measures proposed.

I attended the inass meeting held at the court house on the 25th ult. and was requested to state the object of the meeting and deliver an address on the. situation. I stated that I was not prepared to deliver a public address. Tin o’.i xirman had informed me that I would be on the committee to prepare a report to the body, and I thought I could do more good in the committee room than before the audience, as there would be less formality and I would have a better oppportunity to group facts than in a public address without preparation, especially as J had never attempted a public ad dress. I did not state that the object oT the meeting was to devise means of holding our cotton crop I have never withheld my crop nor the proceeds thereof from my credit ors nor encouraged others to do so. I heard nothing that was said ia tlie committee room and stated so to them, but stated my views. I rcgarctod the committeemen as gentlemen and did not thihk that they xvould take such an advan tage of my infirmity, and did not know that there was one among them opposed to tlie farmers unit ing to withstand thejMuahinption with which we have to contend; S a tis{ieil to ?< t- a fair price with his prey, they wish to be numb us and press us for food We did not create the wretched state of finance, but, like the old lady who prayed for bread, we will thank *he Lord for it though the devil brings. For twenty years England and her co-workers have blocked civil ization in their efforts to strangle rival industries. No power has ever succeeded that fought civil ization and never will.' God rules tlie uniyerse and will ever cause the wrath of man to praise Him. The manipulators of finance (not the dispensers, for there are many good men in the banks) are the most inhuman monsters that have ever lived on earth. Their pira cies encompass the globe. They have caused more deaths, more suffering and have robbed their victims of more wealth than all tlie pirates that hax-e infested our casts since America was discov ered. They make a toy of public and private wealth. The enhanced value of gold is hut another name for the depreciation of labor. While all of this is true, and much more might be said, if xve will but combine we are in the most favorable position of any people that have ever lived and can secure all that it is possible for man to procure until the lion and ihe lamb lie down togther and sickness and deatli are banished from the land. But individuals cannot cope wi h the vast combinations xvitli which we have to deal. We fur nish Europe with three-fourths of her cotton. By giving 63 cents per pound for cotton during our war she succeeded in increasing her supplies from other countries 1,390,000 bales, and if she could do as well to-day it would n it last her spindles 49 days. This, with what she now gets, would run her spindles about one third of the year, anil without our cotton gambling carried on in the regular gambling resorts, but people of high standing and respectability gamble. They may not put dowu the money, but they set the exam ple f< r others in playing for prizes and awards. Hi these progressive euchre games these persons play for fine pictures or gold headed canes. Examples are set that are vi ilations of the law and it is ju6t as demoralizing as common gam bling. The conviction of one man in nhc higher cluss is better, as an example, thau the conviction of only ordinary people for common gambling. Dissolution.

Squeeze up a Little Cash and have it In- spimlles would be idle two-thirds of the year. We, Egypt- and the East Indies have not decreased our crop sippe tlie fall in price, while other countries have dropped from 917, 000 to 190,000 20 cents seems to be the low.-st price that will stimulate produc tion, and it is plain to any one that will examine the matter that xve can get anything under that we will work for without materi ally reducing our crop after the cotton reserve that has been held since 1867 has been exhausted, which is about the same to-day as it was then. The holders of t]ie reserve in 1S67 had_p*td $290,817, 640 fi>r_U,-whrctfTs about $100,000, tK)U more than xve are likely to get for our crop unless we try to pro tect ourselves. We have received $2,287,927,979 less for the cotton that we have exported in the last ten.years than it could have been procured for in other countries if they could have made it. No other country stands such a strain. It is not surpris ing that we are poor and that the balance of trade is against us. While the buyer says ’tis naugl t the seller generally tries to get all that he canTor his merchandise. Our labor is not properly clothed nor fed even with the coarsest gooxls, and receive less attention in sickness than a man gives his horse. Our condition is proof that we do not get anything like enougn for our cotton. It would not hurt the consumer to pay us enough to enable us to live and they ought to be forced to do it. The men who try to show that we can make cotton cheap do not count fair. It is only from statis tics that we can arrive at the av erage cost of cotton. None of them give the laborer a living or count land at a fair price. They are emissaries of the consumer or very giddy and seek notoriety, Cotton will never sell for its wortli when there is enough o .1 cotton at the beginning of the year to last the spindles 3 months Noxv if we will all unite and will show from statistics what wo ought to have for our cotton we can in duce capitalists to take it and ad vance us 7 cents per pound and hold it until it brings a fair price and divide tlie profits xvith us, and this would give us over 10 cents for cotton this season and in fu ture anything for it that we want. We can give a bonus of $100, 000,000 if necessary to get it. The average production of cot ton for the last ten years was 176.36-100 and it is probable that we will not need more than 7.000, 000 bales of cotton than xve will have another year. Whatever the amount may b', xvhich can be easily ascertained, divided by the average production will give us the number of acres that we ought to plant ano hr x*a , and it is not to the interest of any man in the south to plant m re if his in ter s s are the profits of his cotton, and all fair minded men xdill be planV, as l ar g e H P‘ r Jv Disc, sanl Col undrunning in aSout - ern direction to Piuia. said district and county, and from Pima near the residence of Nelson Clements, there intersecting the public road leading from Seville and Williford to Abbe ville, Ga.. passing through lands of W. 11.
