It takes a high order of courage to face such conditions, and begin life over but many a man has done it, and a condition in which he could look the world in the face and begin life over again. Such men have the courage to struggle and wait. The Charlotte Chronicle in a strong editorial advocates tho repeal of the crop lien law. It says the custom of mortgaging a crop before it is planted done more to dis- satisfy the farmer with farm life than any other one For a few years after the war tho lien may have served a good purpose, and so did the homestead exemption, but this cannot now be said of either of them.

He seems to have incurred less of personal antagonism, and his part in the war provoked adverse criticism than that of any of his associates. The feeling toward him in the North, since the subsidence of war passions may be truly described as one of kindly admiration.

Cotton Tobacco. farmer who has tobacco would rather see higher prices than to hear the promise of the Greenville Reflector. The high price of cotton this year all the more emphasizes the crime of the tobacco trust in taking the tobacco crop at a song. If the cotton crop could be controlled by a trust, the tobacco crop, the cotton farm- would be as much the low grounds as the tobacco are. The tendency, since the inflow or gold from Alaska, has been for everything to go up in price. Cot ton had hardly felt that upward ten- until this year. A small of the increase may be to the general upward tendency in prices, but it is chiefly due to the increased demand and the supply. The tobacco crop this year short probably proportionately shorter than the crop. The law of supply and demand, if it works with tobacco as with cotton, would give tobacco a higher price. What prevents higher greed of the trust, which controls the tobacco crop, is alone responsible for the starvation prices being paid for tobacco.
