The newspapers have been busy advising the farmers, and the far mers have been busy advising the the newspapers. The fanner’s advice consists' of 6nly three words, more expressive than ele gant, while the newspapers take much more space than that. Both of them accomplish about the same results. The farmer has been the subject of some abuse also. He won’t sell his cotton. He was told at the beginning of his trouble, when cotton was 9 cents p>*r pound, that lie must not sell—hold it. All that was necessary for him was to place it in a warehouse and pu his receipts up as additional col lateral, and then he could “hold it.’ He went the advisiors one bet ter. He kept his cotton at horm. Then he knew it was being held. And now, when cotton is 7 cents per pound, his former advisors are quarreling with him because he won’t sell it. Well whv should he sell it? Same say to help busi ness. Then why not everybody their property liquidate? That would help business also. Bat it would mean ruin at the same time. There is a force higher than any of us working out this prob lem. We can agitate and quarrel, but it won’t make any change in the process, which is slow. If all of the farmers tried to sell their cotton now, it wouldn’t bring any thing. '1 here is some liquidation going on. A little is being sold every day—all that the market will take and not slump. We may he comforted with the theory that this slow liquidation will continue throughout next year, thereby producing a better average for the first nine months of next year than we experienced for the first nine monlhs of this year. But you can’t hurry the farmer. We told him to “hold” it. He’s doing it. —Macon Telegraph. Mrs. T. A. Lifsey and little Tru man are spending the holidavs here as the guests of Mrs. H. L. Carmichael.
