THE ENTERPRISE COVINGTON Qa
Plant Corn.
Soon alter the cotton grower’s
convention closed its session in
New Orleans two years ago, I
began to read the speeches and
later on, letters from smart men.
I got down to deep thinking. I
thought that the farmers all over
the cotton belt would not plant
two or three acres to the plow and
use three or four sacks of guano.
I could see a great, future for my¬
self and only wanted one year to
get rich and help all my poor kind.
I thought over my plows until I
could feel my pockets getting
full.
I wanted to give my plan to
some oi.e, but knew not who to
trust. I had no brother conven¬
ient and Mrs. Snip had never
* t rid a goat,” and so I was afraid
to divulge it even to her.
But I had to tell it to some one.
One night we got the children
off to bed a little earlier, ami I
pulled my chair close up to Mrs
Snip and there we sat something
on the order of 20 years ago, and
said I: ‘‘Old lady, that conven¬
tion is over, the people say they
are done with cotton, and no
doubt it will briug 40 cents next
fall, like it did m the ’60’s.
I did not attend it, made none
of the pledges, and therefore feel
no obligations. This will be my
year to make a rise and I am
going to plant all ray land, half
the garden, the wood pile and the
back yard in cotton.” She listen¬
ed to my “plans” and smiled in
approval like she used to do. and
said I was bo thoughtful. I was
following out every line to a let¬
ter until I found out every other
farmer was following my ‘‘plan, > J
and was just as “thoughtful”.
I was then between two fixes un¬
til I could think again.
When I recovered from the
shock—for such it was—I thought
I had better go to doing something
or Sam Snip and heed no more
to flowery letters and big speeches.
I began to widen my rows, and to
use hands to go to dropping corn
and a handful of stable manure
on top of it, and I kept at it, and
repeated it again last year.
When a traveler sees and knows
he is oil the wrong road he would
be a fool to continue his course.
The Cotton Growers Associa¬
tion has done great good and will
continue to do good, but, each far¬
mer must help it, by making an
individual matter in raising suffi
cient, business. amount ot corn to run his j
Cotton may go below the cost
of , production, , .. making , . money ,
matters tight, and leaving debts
unpaid, but no country has ever
suffered with a sufficient amount
of corn, pardon a little self alla
sion, I am only a renting man,
working poor land, but I buy no
corn. So take my advice, plant
corn and you will have nothing to
regret Sam Snip.
Young Smith Fights Railroads.
Young Marion Smith, son of
Governor-elect Hoke Smith, and
a member of the latter’s law firm
is following close in the footsteps
ot his father in the matter of
fighting the railroads. Young
Mr. Smith’s tackling of the
portation problem, however, took
a concrete form. Unable recently
to secure service in a damage suit
against the Mobile and Ohio
roads, young Mr. Smith chained
one of the system’s cars to n
track, and put an armed bailiff
in charge. The railroad tiled in¬
junction proceedings, and the
matter is now in the courts.
Meanwhile the two big trace
chains hold the car, and the bail¬
iff is earning wages as its guard¬
ian.
