Man Jsit Beck From Alabama Says

Mr. L. L. Pond returned early in
the week from a visit to his old home
near Rockford, Ala. He says he
wishes he could see every farmer in
Tift and adjoining counties before
next planting tome and warn him
against planting cotton next year.
Mr. Pond has $160 due him for
rent on his farm near Rockford this
year. His tenant had fifteen acres
in cotton from which he may get 500
pounds of cotton in the seed. He
had forty bushels of corn which he
offered Mr. Pond on the rent, but
was told to keep it.
About the best cotton crop that
will be had on a two.horse farm in
that section is one bale. Mr. Pond
has two brothers in the mercantile
business at Rockford, and these have

About sixty per cent of the crop
in Tift county is estimated as being
in, which would indicate that the
yield in this county will be high this
year, and indications are that the
price will go still higher than quoted
this morning.
The farmers of this section arc
finishing the gathering of their cot
ton crop for 1910. With plenty of
meat, corn nnd potatoes for next
year, all debts paid and enough
money left in their pockets to make
a merry little jingle, they seem to
feel that the world is not as bad as
they were thinking it was. They arc
like the village blacksmith,
"They can look the whole world in
the face,
For they owe not any man.”
Mr. nnd Mrs. Virgil McDaniel are
being congratulated over the arrival
of a pretty little girl at their home.
