WYATT MAKEL DECLARED CONGRESS COULD CONDITIONS IN THE SOU JOURNMENT UNTIL THAI Special to The Intelligencer. WASHINGTON. Oct. ii3.~\Vhlle the bill for the relief of financial condi tions in tho South was beforo tho house on Wednesday, representative Wyatt Aiken mado .p. speech setting forth his views. Iio declared that congress could do Gomethlng to re lieve conditions in the South, and he opposed any adjournment until that something waa done. Ho did not 'speak long, but ho had something to say, as ho always does when he gets up to speak, and his romurks attract ed general attention. Ho said: ' Mr. Speaker, I am ono of those who believe thc government can do something for thc relief of Ute people of tho South, who aro facing disaster becauan of tho great drop In tho prli.o of cotton, their principal crop, and J. will* oppose the adjournment of congress until something IB done Ulong this line: The peoplo of tho South aro not risking alms, they aro not asking a gilt of any kimi; they are simply ask ing that tho government perform ita rightful functions.'' They are asking that the government do something for ti great part of tho peoplo and not for any special Interest, One-third of the people of tho United States aro directly interested in the cotton crop. The price of cotton has been cut in half by the war in Europe, and unless something is dono for tho peoplo of Hid South they oro going to havo tho value of their labor , this year cut in half. They can not alford to boar this loss, and lt IS not right that they should have to hear lt. Ia the past tho government has been lavish, with tho public funds. We havo built tho Panama canal at enormous expense, to benefit the whole ?ountry, and during thc loot Bcsslon ot congreaa we appropriated $30,000,000 to build a railroad in Alas ka toJ develop that far-oir terrlotry. The Panama canal will bo ?, of no special) direct benefit to the peoplo of the Interior of the country, nnd tho railroad in Alaska will not benefit ono person in 100,000 in tho United Stntoa proper, I. doubt seriously if wo;, had constitutional authority for the appropriations for the Panama .canal; or for! the railroad,in Alaska, yet there was no great objection to - thefce appropriations. And if wa had authority for, thoBoappropriations we certainly, have , authority for . .emer gency. legiDiatldn now for tho whole people ot tho'fcouUV Then we have spont many millions for i???

South, aro broad-mind ed, and they indorse the proposition *4blt it ls good policy for the govern Tuept ito try;' tb ' develop'.tho' country .??^ev?ry rensonablo and ! proper \Vay. This attitude on their part makes lt Stym.harder for them to undera; and ?HjS^tMe government can : U?E . do eomothing torchent now In 'iba n6nr of their greatest distress. The pbo ,PW'?| tho!

Roulorn was bom 1 PIEDMONT INSUI Any ? I j y'. Brown i DO SOMETHING TO RELIEVE TH, AND OPPOSED AD. f SOMETHING WAS DONE will ncvor concede that we can not do lille. Like many other thinking men, in congro88 and out ot lt. I have my own ideas au to what should be don?, hut my pride of opinion does not carry me so far as to oppose everything olsd If I can not get Just what I want. I believe there is sufficient ability and stotosmanBhip in this con gress to solve the problem that ls before ns, and I will support,any plan that meets tho approval of thc ma jority. I have boen an advocate of a rural credits system and have introduced a bill along this line. I believe- that tho problem of tho South of today would bo solved If wo bad a system by which farmers could borrow mon-1 ey direct from tho government on their farm lands, on long time, and at low rates of interest. If we had that law today, tho larmer who hus cotton could borrow money-not on hts cotton but on MB land-and he I could store his cotton and grow otb or crops until cotton again beenmc profitable. The mechanic in the city or town who finds himself thrown out of employment because of thc ! husinoBs depression could under such n law buy r. little farm and make a living for himself and his family ] whilo he was paying for his homo. Farm land, managed and tilled by an | ambitious man, would be m good se curity for a government loan as government bond itself. I think we might pass such ri law as this and get.it in operation within a short timo .and that it would bc tho salvation of tho. Southland tb ore will probably come times when it would he tho salvation of tho farmers of I other sections of the country. But )f it bo impossible to work nut a rural credits bill now nnd put it In operation, then do something olso. Olve us emergency legislation of j some kind, for there cnn be nd de nying tho fact that tho people of tho South today need bolo as' badly as any pooplo ever needed lt. And I am not yet ready to believe that con gress will adjourn without giving it. I cnn not conclude these remarks. Mr. Speaker, without giving expres sion to a thought that weighs very j heaviiy upon mo. and that in that the i farmers of the South aro thom salvos very largely to blame for tho plight they aro in today. Of. course they had nothing to do with bringing nn tho war. bx Europe and thus cutting i bn tho market for their cotton, but they have boen to blamo for attempt ing, to grow nothing-but cotton. . By doing this they. hayo. put themselves I ?t the-sBfcrcy o' ?ivcp?e und conditions { over, which they , could havo rio con troll Tho r'.imate of tho South isl ideal; its soil is tho mo3t forillo in tho world. Tho people of tho South can grpw successfully any crop thhtl ls grown nnywhoro in the United States. The pooplo of tho South can | tnakp. all tb Mr foodstuffs at homo. And if thoy had boon doing thia, ^ud making cotton as r. ' surplus, they would , riot now be facing disaster and coming hero in desperation and ashing foir help. But while thoy may have contributed to their present condition, they are nono tho.less in sore, straits,;and thoy.. deserve what ever hfdp vre cap give them. And X [ believe tho help .we are asked to give, now. will he simply emergency, help. I bolfovo tho people of tho South Will *.c-?r?i U ?uHchriicc?ea lesson from this experience, and that-from thia year koncefoxth they. will pursue bettor methods. They win. grow on ...thols farms i tho things needed on their farms-grains ; and meats-and that' ln< tho futuro cotton will be a sur plus crop, a money crop, pure and' simple, and not a . food crop. That im tbs tropble bow j many farmers depend on tho salo of their, cotton for actual food for themselves and their families.nod tho:, horses and mules that pul{,their plows.- If they can dot realize money on; their cotton they c*n riat?p?t. This Is an Ugly truth, but it (sf the t?uth ?tfovortncloBs. So we are hske? fori.emergency legisla tion, and the emergency ls very real and pressing. , . , And for thb) reason I am prepared to support almost any l?gislation that meets with the approval ot my I colleagues, arid I am unwilling for j the congress to adjourn until some-j thing ta done..

The follow- j .ng ls the complete letter: To Uuslnesa Mon and Commercial Organizations Interested in Aiding the South In tho "Huy-a-Dalc" Movement: Tho conditions confronting tho cot ton producers, of the South ls a na tional problem. Cotton now in tho Heida represents values that will af fect every phase of business and fi nance and ia juat aa vital to tho bank er and manufacturer. Jobber and wholcsalcr, In tho East and In the' West, as tho South, nnd moro vital! at thia timo to those interests than j to tho producer hluiGoir, as to a great) extent the producer has already re-j eclved the value of tho stap'e in ad vaneo of commodities and money. Tho "Buy-a-Dale" movement has been greatly retarded by tha persis tent rumors that Morgan /and com pany and other large financial insti tutions were arranging to finance adequate loans on 5,000,000 bales of cotton. Thoae rumors have produced deadly results, as business leaders wore of the opinion that tho general purchase of cotton lu small quanti ties would not bo needed as tho sit uation had been fully met. Thc Southern Commercial con gran?, to ar certain the facts, telegraphed to Morgan and company and wa3 au thorized to deny tho rumor. This fact should be knr.wn throughout the United States as tho exigency, more than ever demands tho attention, of all parts of tho country In meeting this national problem. A great niietako bas bcon made by many who have honestly sought to old thc cotton movement. They have placed the funds for ths purchase of cotton at ten cents por pound with business concoma who buy this 'cot ton from themselves, whom they havo thousands -of bales taken in on ac count ?or purchased In tho market' ot the prevailing price. Thia aid. ia'of value .but In thia emergency it does not. reach thc producers for Immed iate use !n financing tho further har vesting! of bis staple 'u tho fields nrd in further liquidating hts accounts' with merchants and which if not done will reach up to every phase of business and finance. Funda-rais ed for tho purchase of .cotton should bo placed with the clearing bouses organized by, commercial organisa tions In .the South. The officials of these bodies will seo that tho mont/ ls placed where it will secure di rect results In aiding the producer himself, and only in such cases whore tho need actually existed.

In the single dis trict of Islington, SOO were discharged the past week by two bottling works, which were forced to close down be cause their supply of bottles from Germany had been cut off. While tho ponderous machinery of Queen Mary's Fund to give work to women is slowly making ready,-the Society of American Women in London has started a small knitting factory of its own in this populous district Mrs. Joseph Wilcox Jenkins started the factory. She walked on? Jay into a labor exchange where SCO women were registered and asked for those who could knit. They were then put to work knitting by hand socks and com forters, aud paid on the' union scalo v of three pence an hour. This insures i I a weekly wage of f 2.G0 for forty hours' work. - . Funds for running the factory aro obtained by the scale of socks, caps and belts, which aro knitted expressly for the soldiers and sailors. Tor pur chaser is expected to present thu tame to. the men at tho front. Other funds are obtained by contributions. One of the employes in the ^neri con factory is a woman with a husband out of work,' a paralyzed sister to care for and seven children ranging In age of three to sixteen years. Her oldest, a girl, earns 60 cents a week-in a shop, and tho war relief, fund - gives seven chillings a week to the family.
