At a meeting of the cotton growers held in tbe city of Columbia on the 26.h day of October, 1904, we, the undersigned, were appointed a com mittee to prepare an ad iress to tbe cotton growers of South Carolina. We desire to state most emphatically that tbis Isa bu-inos organization pure an 1 simple, that there Is nothing a secret or hidden in reference to its b islnt-ss; Its sole and single object is to secure fur cotton growers such uni form prices as will properiy cum pen s be them for th 3 labor and capital 11 vested.

One cannot dwell with tbe circle of home without being morally responsible for tbe discharge of special duties tbat owe their origin to the home relation. The first duty of borne in tbe order of development, since it is developed as scon as the home Is established is the duty of buaband and wife to each other. Men too often forget tbat they owe any special duties to their wives, and yet there is no man who has a worthy wife but owes her a debt be can never pay. She has given him what fortune cannot purchase, a human heart. She has paid him the. highest compliment thatone human being can pay to an other. She has told him by actions that cannot lle lbat be is morelo her than all tbe associations of her life; more than tbe sweet playmate of ber girlhood; more than her sister’s ca rees and brother’s pride; more than the love and tenderness of parents; more than her dear old home. She leaves all these for him, although ber heart strlrgw cannot be unwound from any of them, but be broken and torn away. Does humara life present a more touching spectacle than that of a young bride suppressing her tears and forcing a smile while she kisses her mother and father and brother and sister farewell? How hard heart ed, how unworthy of ber, bow even beastly must be the man, if we may give him that (itle, who does not under these clrcikmlances feel his knees bend a with tbe insane live impulse of adoration. The hus band can discharge the duties which he owes to bis wife only, by keeping perpetually In bis mind that he owes her a debt to pay which, it will be necessary to take advantage of every passing opportunity. ft ft ft - SHALL WE BEAD NOVELS. Last week we promised to give you our opinion of novel reading.^ As tbis opinion costs nothing you cannot severely complain should it ‘ differ from your own. Standing as we do, chin-deep In fictitious literature,-the question is naturally asked by tbe young people “Shall we read novels”? ST-#' ^ There are novels that are pure, good, elevating to the heart and ennobling to the life, but while this is true we have to confess that in our bumble opinion ninety out 01 every hundred novels In tbis day are baleful and de structive in tbe last degree. A pure etorork of fiction is history and poetry o,r thablned. It is a history of things which nd us, with tbe licenses and tbe ammo t, names of poetry. Tbe world al m* n In the State. We further re- cognlz* the fact tbat tbe cotton manufacturers are desirous of main- la n ng a stable price fur cotton, and we b&leve that this organization will promote the interests of tbe cotton manufacturers of the south. This is an age of combination and organiza tion; other agricultural organizations have been able to fix and maintain stable price for tbe commodities to tbe mutual benefit of producer and consumer and have succts-sfuily eliini sated the demor&lizlpg infiuetca of tbe violent fluctuations consequent upon reckless speculation, wbica has proved as disastrous to the manufac turers as it is to tbe producer. We declare it to be a necessity for tbe welfare of tbe cotton growers of the South to organize for the purpose of protecting tbe raw material. We wish to Impress upon tbe cotton growers tbe fact that they put upon the mar ket within 90 days the bulk of their crop and desire tbe commercial world to take it at its full value; to take tbe risk of storing, tbe expense of Insur ing, tbe loss of Interest for nine months without compensation to the purchaser, whereas common sense would teach them that in order to realiz* the highest price they must carry these risks themselves and place upon the market their cotton as the trade n quires it; in other words, in stead of selling their cotton from Sep timber to December, we protest tbat it is common sensa and business to perfect a plan by which we may sell it from September to September. To this unfortunate custom of dumping our ootton on the market In so short a time regardless of demand or price is largely due the unremunerative prices to the producer. Wbat is tbe remedy ? Milhous of dollars are wait log profitable Investment in good se- QuritigL The world knows and con ceives that there is no better security than cotton. Hence a plan by ahicb tbe cotton can be retained Jn -the bands of tbe producer and used as & collateral upon which he can secure money at a reasonable rate of interest to meerweMinjr aebta, Bnabnng~nTm thereby to place his cotton upon tbe market at such time and in such quantity as tbe price justifies is most ceslrabte^— _gt To this end we ask ttie cotton pro ducers in every county in South Caro lina to meet at once and organize for tbe purpose of sending delegates to a meeting in Columbia for the purpise of formulating a specific plan to car^y out the ideas ab ive suggested and to perfect an qiganlzatlon which will maintain cotton at such price as will properly compensate the grower. We congratulate the cotton growers of tbli State that other cotton produc ing States are organizing for this pur pose and tbe future is bright with promise for a national organization to maintain a stable and remunerative price for cotton. With this end in view we suggest that in each county ttaejxjtton gias^rs iSiftaableAndjend voters. Tnere are States represented on a basis "of population in which less than two per cent of the population votes, while the average vote in others is anywhere from fifteen to twenty five per cent. Before the war these States were allowtd to count three-fifths of their non-voting slave population; now ,tbey count the whole of tbeir non voting free population. Is this equality?— There is a district in Mississippi In which one-half of one per cent of the population votes; In another only one person in 133 votes; and votes for John Sharp Williams, who is protesting against government without represen tation in tbe Philippines. One vote in Mississippi equals from seven to twen ty-live In any Northern State.” Judge Parker says he objic'eto government by ae ohgarehv. Where do you think tbe Oligarchy is in this,,country, and whit do you want to do about it? Tbe accompanying tables show th' number of votes received by tbe win ning candidate in eaoh district, tbe whole number of votes oast in tbe dls trios, its popu’ation and tbe propor tion of tbe voters to the population. It will be observed tbat in many of tbe Southern States .the successful candidate ran without opposition pol ling -th* entire vote cast in his dls trlct; while in N >rthern States the op position, devided among several par ties, frequently oast more votes than were cast for tbe winner of tbe elec tion. If a healthy opposition is a sign of wholesome political life, this fact Is certainly significant. Compare the First South Carolina district, which takes in the city of C larleston and has a population of 196 390, with IheF.ftb Pennsylvania, which Includes a part of Puiladelpbia, population 196 315 Mr. Legate of South Carolina received 3,749 votes out of a total of 3.924; Mr. Morrell of Pennsylvania, 25,358 out of 25,640, both candidates having practically no opposition. Mr. Legare received the votes of one fiftienth of tbe popula tion of his district. Mr. Morrell the votes of one-seventh thef population of his. One voter in South Carolina equals seven in Pennsylvania. Compare the Sixth South Carolina district, population 201,577, with the First Matsicbusetta, population 201,- 378. In tbe one Mr. Scarborough gets 3 981 votes, with no oppts tion; in tbe other Mr. Laurence gets 14,093 votes against an opposition of 12,009. In Mr. Scarborough’s district one only person inAO vcted; in Mr. Lawrence’s the proportion was one In seven.. One South Carolina vote equals seven In Massachusetts. Compare the Seventh South Caro lina district, population 183,753, with the Nineteenth New York, population 183,375. In one the successful Demo cratic candidate was elected by a vote of 4,220 against an opposition of 167 Republican; in tbe other tbe«Republi- can candidate got 17,878 votes agaihst 17,338 Democratic and 1,529 divided among three other factions, the total vote polled being one fifth of the pop ulatton, as against one-forty-second of the population of the Seventh South Carolina. One voter in South Carolina equals eight in New York, and doesn't b&ve to work so bard to elect his man. "John Sharp Williams, tbe Demo cratic leader of the House,- is much troubled In mind about the rights of _ the Filipinos, *ha are deprived of booh". proper representation. So long as here ate 132 people in his own district wbo are not voting to one wbo is it seems as if the Mhsissipplan might look nean r borne. He was elected to tbe present Congress by the total vote of bin district, 1,433, and there are 190,* 885 peoplo ln that district. One in 133 of them voted. In the Eighth New Jersey district Mr. WiJey received 18,814 votes—more than ten times as many as Mr. Wil liams received in the Eighth Missis slppi. The Democrat who ran against him got 12,006—more than eight t ma as many as Mr.* Williams, and he was defeated, at tbit.
