Strlbllog, Pendleton, 8. C. Three Best ia Five In Favor of the Cotton Grower. We doff our hat to the cotton grow ers. Immediately after the drop in the price of cotton last fall Theo. Price and many other cotton bears said they would have the remainder of thia crop for 5 cents, and the farmer said he wanted 10 cents or OJ couta at his home market. Who wont The glow er has averaged a little over 9 out of the 5 cents at stake between thc grow er and the speculator. This placea the farmer on record aa winning the game against tremendous odds. The fanners7 organisations are in their infancy. They ere hardly re coned as being anything like thorough ly organised, whilo the cotton bean nave been at it and thoroughly. organ-, ized for many years. The farmer is new at thia game: He baa bat little training, bat he has shown nu im mense amount of platte, grit and good sense in tola the first tussle of the cam paign for fairness. While the cotton bears have all the advantage of years of experience nod training tho cotton grower bas posses sion of tho coveted product and possess eight-tenths of the soil that is recog nized fra tho natural homo of the cot ton plant? Beside these natural advantages the cotton grower has it in his power to re*, .dace the acreage and absolutely con trol tho situation of things and choose his own battl? field ana position for theconte?t. The cotton grower has all the natural advantage, while the cotton bears have ready cash and a large stock of strategy on his side for the coming campaign over our next cotton crop; the farmers have about five month? from nov? until the next crop comes in to complete their organizations and train their forces in business matters. Tho cotton grower has ten times the amount of capital in bis business that the cotton speculator has, and if the cotton grower will concentrate a very small amount of this capital in bonded warebousea he will fortify bia position and be able tcTtake care nt the weaksr growers as well as others, in order to control prices the stronger and better fortified cotton growers mast provide protection for their less fortunate neighbors. The better class of grow ers must take care of the cotton of the weaker growers in order to protect his own cotton'interest. Eating Yow Pie and Still Have lt. This thing of eating pie and still having it is ono of themcoted questions, bot hy tho South Car*nina lien law systern we know many cotton grow ers who eat their plo before that pie is made. The warehouse system enables thia same cia sss of cotton growers-as well as other classes-to . obtain largo ad vancements on their cotton and still hold control of the sale of that cotton until be can realize a profitable price for it, when without this privilege tho farmer is forced to take what ia otter ed when the cotton is ready for sale whether current prices are profitable or ruinous. If this warehouse systoru does pot the grower who owns a small minority- of interest in the cotton in control of property, the major part of which he does not own, there is as much fairness in this as there is in giv ing the tenant the right under the lien law system to control the pro ducts of lands that he does not own. Cotton is a world-wide necessity on the market, and consequently the nest collateral in the whole vorld of ma terial things? South Carolina cotton wnrehouse certificates gotten out by the correct system should be about as good in England as in South Carolina. When the farmer stoics a bale of cotton in a warehouse that is con trolled by himself and others mutual ly interested, he has in reality entered into a kind of banking business that may bo as good or better than the or diosry banking business, for the sim ?lo reason that the cotton grower here as tho power to hold his producta off the market until profitable price? can be had. In China the pawnbrokers are the bankers of the people, and one may say that all articles of invested capital is need and utilized after the fashion of the "three-ball gun." When the time comes to don the summer suit tho China man pawns his winter's suit, and with the proceeds, supplemented by a little oasb be redeems his previous summer snit. Even such artioles of precarious vaines aa arms may be seen on parade with the small pawn-ticket dangling from each rifle. The foregoing is an illustration of a system of Dusinesa in successful use for centuries by the heathen that ought to make tho Chris tianized South ashamed. Our cotton is a real legal tender on the markets of the world and yet we are just now beginning to think about utilizing tho great commercial power that is vested ra cotton. Rockefeller's Gifts.

Philadelphia Record. Notes From Denver. The lOth of April, 1009, has broken the record as tho coldest day of that day since 1840. The fruit is all killed or injured so that it will drop off, and nearly all early vegetables aro destroy ed. Ik*iv'ethe heavy frost on Mon day morctug there was a freeze and ice an eighth o? an inch thick was seen. A heavy frost again this morning (Tuesday) completed the work of de struction. Many say the wheat crop is injured to some extent, and all the early corn ia out down. There will be much extra vc; ic for farmers and gar deners to do. Those who planted cot ton early will have to replant, as the seed has rotted in the ground, and every plant that was above ground ia killed. There is a great soaroity of sweet potatoes in this section. So many rotted in the banks and those that were bedded out have rotted sinco. There is a croat demand for sweet potato plants, and they are hard to find. The man who could discover a method of putting up sweet potatoes so they would keep sound every wiuter would deserve a patent or a life time ponoion.
