“ Thar’s one thing farmers all must do, To keep themselves from goin’ tew Bankruptcy and the devil! “More corn! more corn! Must plant less ground, And mustn’t eat what’s boughten! Next year they’ll do it: reasonin’s sound: (And, cotton will fetch ’bout a dollar a pound) , Tharfore, I’ll plant all cotton!” ↑ Jones County, Georgia, adjoining Bibb County, in which Macon is located. ”
