"I am completely disgusted with this
everlasting whining and croaking about
hard times being right ahead!" exclaim
ed a well-known citizen.
“How is that, colonel?" queried the
reporter.
“Well, I'll tell you. A man nowadays
can’t go anywhere or talk with anybody
without having ilred at him tho cry of
‘hard times are coming, and cotton soon
won’t bo worth a cent a pound,’ and ali
that sort of poverty-stricken rubbish
say I am sick of this bosh. How do
these croakers know that tho price of
cotton is going to fall still lower?
W here do they get their information?
Haven't we just as many people in tills
world to clotho and feed as we had fifty
years ago? Are not the wants of the
human family just as numerous as they
ever were?”
“Tlmt’s so,colonel; you're right. But
the fact is, there is a scarcity of money
among tho people. Yon will admit that,
eli, Colonel?" n ihlly suggested the re
porter.
“Xo, sir; I’ll admit nothing of tho
kind. Scarcity of money? Bah! There
never was as much cash in tho country
as there is to-day. The only trouble ap
pears to bo that some poor old dried up
souls, who are as sapless as a squeezed
lemon, have got the idea that there is
going to he another Hood, and that they
must protect themselves against tho
rain by hoarding up a handful of old
greasy hank notes. Now in the name of
all that is decent, what aio these old
grannies going to gain by burying their
money out of sight?”
“Well, colonel, that is the chief rea
son why money is scarce—because many
people are afraid to put it out—to in
vest it."
“Why should any man who has any
claim to bo regarded as human entertain
such idiotic nonsense. What right has
anybody to block the wheels of trade or
Interrupt tho happiness of his fellow
man by hugging the delusion that
when the time of trouble comes he will
escape with tho few dollars that he has
on a little private ark of his own. Are
such men aware that this vast human
family has claims each upon the other?"
“Well, colonel, what would you sug
gest—what is your remedy?”
“Oh, I would stop all this bugaboo
bosh abouthard times; inaugurate anew
era of conlidenco in mankind, and talk
cotton up instead of talking it down.
Isn’t it just as easy to prophesy that times
will bo good as to bo constantly croak
ing about hard times. Why not believe
that nine-tenths of mankind arn straight
and honest—which they are—instead of
suspecting that every man’s a thief or a
confidence operator. Where is all this
boasted Christianity of tho nineteenth
century; all this loving your neighbor as
yourself, and all that sort of thing which
is boing taught in all our churches? Arc
we honest in our professions of being
disciples of tho Nazarone, who never
owned a dollar or a brick; or aro wo liv
ing frauds, who profess to bo Christians,
and yot secretly worship Mammon. Let
us understand cacli other, and quit sail
ing under false colors. We all know
what Is written: “Ho who is not with
mo is against me.” That Is tho kind of
a man I am; and I am not afraid to fling
my banner to the breeze everyday in tlio
week as well as on Sunday. What we
want is Christian honesty and less du
plicity in our dealings with our fellow
men. Let us give up playing a double
game—Christians on Sunday and trying
to get tho best of our noiglibors the
other six days of tho week. For my
part, if I claimed to ho a Christian, l
would stand by tho principles of Christi
anity, and would scorn to be a hypocrite.
And Christianity teaches that we should
do unto others as wo would have others
do unto us. Now, what I want to know
is, Who follows this golden rule?”
COTTON GOING FP.
The Thin! Bale to Arrive Brings Ten Cent*
Per Pound.
“Whoa?’ shouted Anthony Glaze of
Lee county, as he brought up with the
third bale of cotton this season in front
of the warehouse of Johnson & Harrold
yesterday morning.
Although this bale of cotton got only
third place In the race, yet It reached
the top price, having been bought by
Hitt & Co. for 10 cents per pound.
It is worthy of notice that cotton, so
far this season, has a decidedly upward
tendency. The first bale brought in by
Mr. Clay, sold for JJc; the second, by
Mr. Jenkins, Oj; and the third, by Mr.
Glaze, 10. The Times-Recobder re
garda this as a good omen, and hopes
that the prices will be maintained
throughout the season.

Lost evening, at about 0 o'clock, the
first bale of the season was captured by
that energetio warehouseman, Mr. L. G.
Council, who secured the first bale
of cotton last year August 2.
Mr. C. C. Clay Is the planter who land
ed the winning bale.
This much prized first bale was bought
by the well-known firm of Littleton &
Lamar for 0J cents.
These are the cold facts in regard to
an event which is always looked forward
to every season with the greatest Inter
est; but who can tell of the struggle on
tho part of all concerned to come in first
under the wire in this laudable contest.
Planters, warehousemen, brokers, etc.,
are all keenly alive at this time to secure
tile distinguished honor.
The bale which arrived last night
from Mr. Clay’s place was picked, ginn-
jed, packed, weighed, and sold in one
day. This is a remarkable performance
at tliis time of the year, when tho
amount of territory gone over is consid
ered. In tho opinion of good judges,
the time made in landing this bale of
cotton in tho market ’beats the record,
And the fact that this halo was hurried
through to this point by express shows
that nothing was left undone to “got
here” ahead of all competitors.
After the baio which had been care
fully expressed by Mr. Clay to this city
by tho S. A. M. railroad passenger
train which arrived hero about 0 p. m.
and was triumphantly carried to the
warehouse of Mr. L. G. Council, and as
the shades of night were falling fast, a
democratic mule, engineered by
fifteenth amendment from the planta
tion of Mr. B. F. Jonkins in Sumter
county, entered tho city and hauled up,
with the usual “whoa” of the driver.
The bale brought by Mr. Jenkins'
negro was even at this late hour care
fully housed in the warehouse of the
veteran and reliable warehousemen,
Messrs. Council & McGarrah. The bale
weighed 514 pounds. It was sold to
Col. A. S. Cutts for 0j cents per pound.
A singular coincidence is, that both of
these “two first bales” came from the vi
cinity of DeSoto, on tho S. A. M. rail
way. The negro driving Mr. Jenkins'
bale to the dopot missed the freight
train which passed DeSoto an hour or so
before the passenger and express train,
upon which Mr. Clay expressed bis bale.
Mr. Jenkins takes great pleasure in real
izing that, whilst his was the first bale
really ready for shipment, and missed the
train only by a few minutes, he brought it
with his industrious mule, who made
the crop, within a few hours of Mr.
Clay’s, and a much larger bale. The Lg t y 0Ur gQQfl DollaTSlaild VOUr gOOd SeilSD
negro chuckles that he got a better ,
price for his bale. j bring you to the Artesian Corner always.
The generous rivalry between such
progressive and prosperous farmers as
Mr. Clay and Mr. Jenkins is a matter of
congratulation to all. The Times-Ke-
coiideb wishes both success.
