arotir.d hiin. Now farmer Smith was
rich and fond of ease, so one day ten
ant Jones says, Mr. Smith it' must be
a very troublesome job for you to fur
nish -supplies to all th.se people. So
it is says fanner Smith. Well, says
tenant. Jones, I have a proposition to
offer that will relieve y-u of all trou
ble. W ell, what is it, aks farmer
Snihh. Says tenant .Jones, you just
furnish me the goods in bulk, at say
(c for bacon, 4Jc for liour, 50c for
meal, &c, and I will retail it to these
people at Pic for bacon, 4c for flour
and $1 for meal. Well that is a good
idea. How will you secure me. I,
will give you govd pap -r as collateral.
Very good, says fnrniw Smith. But
theiv is another condition Mr. Smith,
vou must let me have, one half my
laud rent f ee. My, my, says Mr.
Smith. Then theie is still another
condition, says tenant Junes, you
must pay me A per cent, interest on
my collateral. My, my, my, sitvs far
mer Smith. ISutMr. Jones, 1 fear the
tenants will object to taking the goods
from. yu. Oh, just, make me your au
thorized j.gent and tliey will have to
take t hem or starve. l)iit. lur.i Junes.
you will g-t rich and they por, and
they will grumble. I have thought
of all that, says Jones. I have a
riend one. Plausible who clan talk
them into anything. Well, well, says
Smith, it is a bargain. At the 6-nd
of that year Jones bought a tp bug
gy and a silk dres for hi wife and
the other tenants bought l suits for
hrmstlves am calico dresses for their
. t i ' i t i 'ii
wives, nut tliey were numoie minora
fellows and went to work with a will

on next crop. Jjiid of second year
Jones bought a piano for his daughter
and,a brus.e!s carpet ior the parlor.
the -other tenants patched their old
clothes aud their wives worked! out for
i new frock. Tliey began to complain
mt Mr. Plausible came aroujwd and
prophesied better times and tlnjy tried
Flll f If l
agaai. i niru year lound jon's riciier
and the rest poorer and discontented.
Plausible conies around and says, mv
dear fellows you must not blaihe Jones
and farmer Smith for your poverty.
Why don't you know the tariff on
lmts is 50 per cent., and 110 por cent.
on clothing and 111 per cent, on blank
ets? How could you help but be poor.
Now these poor fellows couldn't ex
actly see how the tjiriti was keeping
them down as they never owned an
imported article in their lives, but they
did ii t know much about it ami .-Plausible
was sharp so they swallowed their
discontent and tried again. I Fourth
vear Finds them, rich in debts and
Jones rich in bank notes. Mr. Plausi
ble is again called in, but when lie
commences talking tar. If they all shout,
'blast the tariff and you with it."
They then march up to Farmer Smith's
oflice and say, "Sjo here, Mr. Smith,
we 'can't stand this any longer. We
pay you full rent and serve Tou faith
fully, while Jones pays half rent and
loafs; we are sttirving, he is getting
rich. Now, Mr. Smith, we will give
you our note with security, and you
musti issue the rations direct td us in
stead of through Jones."
Now for the moral.
Mr. Bondholder noes to that vener
able o'.d patriarch, Uncle S tin, and
siys: "See here, you are the oiily con
stituted authority for coining I money
(or printing it, for the supreme court
says it is :dl the same). Now, we
want to relieve you of the job nf issae
ing y) lr money." "Well." says Uncle
Sam, "what is your plan.'1 "We wil
place good paper in your vaults; as se
curity, and you issue us bills at 1 pei
cent. aud we will distribute thejn at 10
per cent, compound interest." tGood,"
says Uncle Sam; ".but -maybe the jxo
pie won't take them." "Oh, hut we
have fixed that. Von must .draw i"
all your greenbacks and make money
scarce -and thev will give ns anvthini'

maybe thoe dull fallows will find out
that your friend politician is something
of a kuavp, amj has been deceiving
them." "Oh, by that time we and our
friends Gould, Vanderbilt" and the
boss carriers will be so rich and the
farmers so poor that if they kick we
will just buy up their leaders and keep
on raking in the shekels.1 "Good,
very good," says Uncle Sam, "bring
along your paper and you shall have
the bills " "But hold on," says Mr.
Bondholder; "there are two conditions
upon which I will take this trouble off
your bonds: Vou. must pay me 4 per
cent on the paper lieaye with you and
you must exempt that paper from tax

that my interest shall be the more
valuable. I must insist that you kelep

Mr. Bondholder,-! do not want to be

not say that Colonel Carr wrote the
poc.n, but it does say that whoever did
write it, he is something of a poet him
self. Th subject, the truth, the meier
and all that which -comprises good
and true poetry gurgles from between
each line. The Globe reproduces th s
and will give Colonel Carr the benefit
of any denial which he may see pro
per to make:
Celebrated as a bruiser, ho htal never been a
loser,
He loul fought a htimlre-1 peojilo and they all
threw up their hands:
He had smashed the brawny Prussian, over
whelmed the giiint Hu-sain,
Lett a trail of blood and haoc o'er his own
and native laudj.
i; v the margin of the Niger, with his fist he
killed a titrer.
And he slew a howling lion in the desert of
the south;
In the frozen regions polar, where the lights
are seldom solar,
He attacked a bear and chewed it from the
fetlocks to the mouth.
There was none like him could rustle, for he
was composed of of musc le.
And his named Was Terror in the region
where dwelled;
It would take a Scott or P.yron to explain how
rods of iron
Would be torn and rent and twisted when
by handled this great Milo!
All the strong men came to meet him but they
never could defeat him,
For his arm was like a lever when it touched
a fo-Mwan's side;
nut one day oh, fatal caper! lie perused Joe
Daniels' paper,
Then he gasped in deadly anguish, heavad a
feeble sigh and died!

are fields on nearly lall farm that have been so hard and dry
that farmers have not been able to get them in condition to
plant; and a great deal that was planted, both grain and
cotton, owing to so little moisture in the ground, has failed
to come up. There was so much rain in March and April
ihat some farmers failed entirely to get an out crop r n.
others only partly. I feajuthat crops are likely to be verv
short. But our wheat prwspects are good in this immeiliate
neighborhood; in fact we never fail with that crop, when
not destroyed by storms, etc.
If you and your readers will excuse me I will do a little
bragging on our Mill Bridge country - that is, part, of
I Steele, Mount Ulla and Atwell townships; and why not
write up the tanner when meritorious as well 4is tte mer-,"
chant, the lawyer and other businessmen ?
First, I will name a few living within a few miles of
here who commenced without any-capital, bought the'r
farms on time, most of whom lrare raised and educated
large fancies, lived well, paid off their indebted nesatoeked
their farms with improved stock, still buying lands and
improving their farms, and have money to loan. J. S.
Shulibt rrier, Columbus Sloop, (J. W. Corriher, Lo-k Shu- ,
ping, Win. Lipe, Jacob Lipe, Caleb Lipe, Alfred Goodman,
Simpson Patterson, and many others. Again I Will men
tion some who have made a success atfarming with verv
small beginnings: Henrv and Jai'nes Goodnight, F.
Baker, Wm. Sloan, J. S. ifall, George Hall, J. F. Stansil,
J. B. Parker, M. A. File, H. . Shoaf, W. I). Grnham.
VV. LT Keistler, Eq., Scott Krider and mother, Ferdinan i
Barrier, Monroe Barrier, II. S. Petrea, Ualvin -Varner, J 0.
Houston, John C. Menius, J. F. Carrigaii and sons, J. L.
Sloan, J. W. Turner, Col. V. A. Ilouck, and a grcaPiva''
others I could mention; and to let the distance extend ;-ix
miles in every direction from here I could mention perhaps
as many more. These men are all of good moral character,
-and I think without an exception are members of Chrictian
churches, not only in name hut. at heart. When not con
venient to have preaching every Sunday tliey meet ai : their
little school houses and have prayers. -
Some may think this over-drawn, but I have lived hero
thirty years and know what I say. They have made it.
their business to make the dollar before spending if, an I -
hen made they know how to spemt it.
Respectfully,- Farmer.

Letter From North Irctlcll.
Mr. Editor: We are all so glaHo get the Watchman'
we can hardly wait for it to come. We arc 'almost like the
uingry boy who could not wait until his mother oaken;
nead. If the Watchman did not come on Friday w.
fould not wait until Saturday. Every issue gets better
Every allianeeman m this part of old Jreilell is truly j-roud
of it. e could not- help but hollow "hurrah for th:
Watchman"' when we read your editorial in the issue or
he 14th mt., in answer to the Luiul mark. .Joe Caldweh
nitikes a good paper. I admire it very much. But he. geN
the track sometimes and needs taking down. hav
een rending the landmark for some time ami could n t
well do without it, biituthere are some things about it .
to not like, and 1 am glad that the Watchman ha
sand enough about it to "lock horns" with ns big a man as
the Isindmarli is when he needs shaking up a little.
This neighborhood has been ami isilo.v pestered with r.n
animal or "varmint" known as the kkI)udish. organ agents."'
(I may have given the wrong nam.'. I am not verswd in
natural historv.) They visit the f armer late in the evenin .
and soon after their arrival start up JJm sweetest mush-.
Th s is to charm the farmer. The music lasts until abo-.r
TO o'clock and if the tanner has any ear at all for music l
is their victim. 1 hcrv are not a blood suckiMg nor a lle.-ii
eating animal. All they want is the tarmers casttyand tliey
rf lease him if he complies witn their terms.
The frost did not damage us yery much. Plenty of
peaches yet.
Wheat is looking. well. Corn did not come up well,
We have had plenty of rain T. B. M.
