Numerous ideas were [ndvanced and discussed hut this seem ed to be the only feasible plan and when the question was put tho resolu tion was unanimously adopted. When it became krfhwn that there would be an extra session of the gen eral assembly, to bo convened on Oc tober 6. for tho purpose of considering the cotton question, every member o t)ie Anderson delegation was visited hy numerous planters and business men and suggcytlons ? -were offered Ss to what' legislation should bc on icted. and accordingly, in order to se the views of all tho farmer? and. b'ujsl ness mon of tho county. Senator G. W. Sullivan, issued the call for a mas; meeting to bo held In Anderson. Tho meeting convened yesterday morning at ll o'clock with about 30' farmers in attendance. F. M. Cary was elected chairman and Porter A. Whaley was elected secretary, follow ing which the chairman stated the pur pose of the meeting and asked that - general discussion of the question bc legun. Capt. . W. Sullivan spoke at.some length on the subject'. ? He told b' hearers that tills was one subject in which ho was vitally intereated and' raid that he felt as though every min in .South Carolina, regardless of wheth er he was a farmer or not, should fee an interest in'the. problem with, which the farmers aro face.to face, : Heathen read the following bill which he had drafted and which- bo bad Under con sldemtlon at thc special meeting o the legislature: lie it-en\ctc* b? tue general assem bly of South Carolina. .

Cely and Leon L. Rice .and then M. N. Patterson took the view that since thc regular session of,the,general assem bly will be held in January that the proposed law requiring a reduction ot the cotton crop could easily he repeal ed nt, the regular session, provided it was unsafe and unsound and he urged that some action b? taken r.t once, Since t*>o farmer cannot walt much longer for aid. A. J. Smith, a farmer, himself, introduced a now point of v|ow when ho r-ijj tha*-it'was hardly necessary to onact any legislation to prc ve fit. tho farmers from planting so much cot ton next year, because there would be very few with means enough to plant cotton. He added that every man with common sense would reduce bte cotton^crop and speaking for h'raaclf, J he said that ho did not expect to ralaa r?oro than bait the cotton next year that he produced thin year.

He point ed out that legislation adopted by thlf Stute might rudically differ from that of tho other states. M. N.

The resolution was was unanimously adopted und then be gan the dlscu.-sion of how fur thc re duction should exist. Mr. Patterson then Introduced a re so'utlon which asks tue general as sembly to pass a law prohibiting any farmer from planting moro than eight acres to the horse and mule for the Beacon of 1915, the stock during the year 1915 not to be increased over 1714. The resolution was adopted. Some, discussion was pngaged ir. when Senator Sullivan asked for an expression of opinion on the question ot the McLaurin warehouse bill. Sher iff Ashley and several others npoko in favor of a state warehouse and then Mr. Ashley introduced a resolution favoring the creation of a fund for'ft state hank to loan money to the far mers and the formation of u State warehouse commission. The resolu tion waB adopted. Thc following resolution introduced by W. H.
