times they would bold to It, but the I
banks never refused to turn over;
money that belonged"to me when r
called for It.,
. uNo, the trouble with too unuy of1
us Is .we want the other fellow's1
money uud give him only g promise
to. nay ter it until k suits our con-1
vcutpnee to pay it; and. if we are
forced to make^bc promise, gpod.be-1
fore it. suits our cou\eiiiw?cc, we '
think the world *ud every body else!
la aKaitu>t*us. We too often want to:
show off on Eomie other man's money;
never taWftg. tkute to consider that1
some day .we will be forced to. ijay
principal and intorcst for pur false
show er bo. driven te the walL ,, m
If the cotton Is ou m. wlte is to hin-'
der us from kopping it until wo get
ready to sell? If it belongs to the
other man, why do we want to keep
It? There is only one answer, co-'
veteuspese, m
No, the.,trouble with teo many of;
us is we want tp get rich quickly. We!
arc. living iu a faut age and we let
our mind run wild, building air oas-<
. .lea, and we want the money wtth;
which to construct the cuoUeB, and l&M
we fall, to get it, v.'c set up such a
terrible howl that it often causes ft-1
aancial pcrvpusnes?. If we eU?
would slmsa/er 4to*u and he wtUtes
to live wjthin our income, it would
be worth much more to us than; ell JJ
too warehouse*. It la very seldom
r. man who. lives within hla income
and is strictly honest, pays his debts I
when due, but who can get money
when oc to in need of it , It's the
map who shirks payment and .fools
away his tim? that makes hard times
for h?irso?(f and others. The ware
house will not remedy it cither.
Brother fanner, when you place
your cotton La thp warehouse and they
give you u receipt for it, how. much
better off are you? O. you Say,. I
can draw wonny cm it if I wlalt. You
cannot dVaw as nrach money on it * !
[.you woitld have had provided you had
j sold lustesii of ylEclEg it iu the w/s*s?
house. Then, If you draw . money
.on it, it is no lo.ugcr yours" unlees
you redeem It,.'.the other fcll-rw will
have, a say so iu celling it.
(If you are in debt, either sell bobio
of it and pay yoiir, debt, or
your creditor and have.an under
standing ''"with bim, Tlils 'w *>?
havy of wonting to control Iiis money
as >.'eli as our owp, |* wrong. , He
may huve Tie en of his rcoiicy ?p smcts

ijts feto u iinn wAcniilil pay It. we are
not worthy of ??ei wnfidoncc placed
I hope the, day Is cot far distant
when we'Tarmors r?it bavu..manhood
enough withto. us to bring about our
own independence by- raising our
supplies.at;home, and stop this way
we. have. of. ; running to the njerchant
to get hip* fo. sell us mppiiea tp make
more cotton* te depress-tuo or Ice. and
then grumble because w? do not get
as'm?ch fo;: It as we think'wo should.
Just'as long as we.'can' lean on the
arm of I ho merchant for support,
<1.1. .... inni. will iye ^e little weak
lings. The Bible teaches us the poor
you have with you always; and it we
desire to spend our money, or the
other fellow's money If we can ?et
it, foster than we make it, that to^qur
privil?ge; .but wc should cesse rind
ing fault with the man who saves
hib money us he earus.it. if every
body should spend it faster than they
carp It, wo would all bp In a terr*b,c
fix. The poor should thank God' all
men : were not like vye'ta. The rich
should thank God for blesiMg thdnx,
and show thetr thankfulness by help
ing the. poor that arc unable to help
themselves.
But I have left' my subject, and
took up a side issue. The aillle ?an
afford to pay from Ohe to live dol
lars a bale more for cotton if wc let
them liovc. It. And very often we con
make from one ta ?vu dollar a a.'late
