The discupsion on the* editorand
business paggs of The
tericau of the menace to the
ton farmers of The South
m the European war has exid
wide interest and attenThroughout
the South and at
ishington the conditions desbed
in The American ha^ve
akened practical action.
The cotton States Senators in
i Senate with Hoke Smith as
nrman of their Kleccotive
mmittee, and the cotton
Ltes' RepreFentatives in the
use with Oscar Underwood as
Lirman, have organised to
p the Southern farmer
rough the emergency created
I the possible lose of a market
the 4,000,000 bales of cotton
ioh have heretofore gone to
rmany and the nations on the
er side of it with the reduced
naud from England and
>nce.
'he cotton crop of the South
hi enormous Dart of the nan's
wealth. Its 14,000,000
es at about $05 a bale are
rth over $000,000,000 and the
00.000 bales that go to Eu
te makes a trade balance of
more than a half billion dol6
t would hurt the whole counto
have panic and depression
ike the Southern farmer and
ve him rush his great crop to
nket at panic prices for fear
the paralysis of his great
u ket for 4.000.000 bales i.?
iirmany and beyond.
A.nd so the business statesinship
of the entire country
p8 with t'le business, stntesitiship
of the South in piotect%
the great staple from uncessary
depression.
The first efFor^ of^ the cottbo^
ates Congressman . doubtless
11 be to reassure and stiffen
e confidence of the cotton
ai.ter. Be shculd be told that
tton is selling today in Engnd,
in the very face of the

indicates no intention what
rer to shut down its mills or
irow its workmen out of work ;

period, and that the money
iat comes to the Eastern cenHck
will help the South as well
Hr relaxing the pressure of the

finances.

of any surplus cotton will give
it dignity and credit.
~lfthe Southern farmer can
only be assured that the Government
is in full sympathy
with the 8outhorn business man
in the protection of the great industry,
confidence dioold take
place of anpreheution, and the
surplus cotton can be held until
it is evident that there will be
uo surplus of the indispensable
stable.
1 The Southern farmer is reasonably
rich in the recent fat
i years of prosperous cotton behind
him, and should with this
stiffening nt confidence bfc fully
able to hold his surplus bales
above the necessity of sacrifice j
to panic prices.
AMERICAN POPE
MAY BE ELECTED ,
London, Aug. 22.?There is a 1
strong hope in the English 1
Catholic circles that Cardinal ^
O'Connell of Boston Will receive '
a majority of votes for election '
of pope in the sacred college of
cardinals. Be will have the
strong support of the most influx ,
enfcial Uymen at the Vatican,
the Deko of Norfolk.
Cardinal Bonrne left London
today enroute to Rome, knowing
and supporting the wishes of
English Catholics. Though it
has long been thought the pon*
tificate was a monopoly for the
Italians, the present war has
vastly alteredir.he perspective of
Catholics and out of the malstrom
into which the eacred college
has been thrown by the European
crisis and the tierce international
jealousies that have
been aroused, a compromise may
be arrived at by the election of
an American pope.
The most pressing of all considerations
at the Vatican today
is the necessity of finding money
tokeefr the wheels of (fee great'
rhachjae moving. For many
years the Vatican has been
growing poorer and poorer and
the tremendous destruction of
wealth now aroinc on in Kurnne
with the pauperizing of count- (
less thousands will for many j
years to come curtail the contributipns
of Europ -an Catholics (
to the coffers of the Vatican.
Cardinal O'Coimell is believed
to be the one member of 'the
sacred college who can command
the financial resources that the
Vatican needs so desperately.
Furthermore, he has. been rector
of The American church in
Home and is popular among the
Italian cardinals.
America Can Supply Goods
Hitherto Made In Germany.
Loudon, Aug. 22?Harry Gordon
Selfndge, the former Ohicag)
merchant and now one of the
foremost merchants of fiugland,
will preside over the meeting
of the London chamber of commerce
Tuesday which has been
t a i j
caneu 10 ooviso ways ana nu au
to m lintain British trade during
the war.
The first object will be to encourage
British and American
manufacturers to supply an immense
amourjtof goods hitherto
made in Germany and amounting
in value to over $400,000,000
annually.
The British government proclaimed
today that all patents
held by Germans and Austrians
were ho longer valid in England
and that iheir goods, wares and
merchandise might be imitated
by any domeati'c or foreign maker
without peril.
Meat of the drugs and chemicals
used in England havo been
coming from Germanr. America
can anpply most of them
now.

Each Farmer to be Pledged to ;

Colombia, Aug. 20? The farm'
era of Sooth. Carolina shall hold
their cotton for 12 1-2 cants per
pound, nor shall a bale be placed 1
on the market prior to October
1, unless offered 12 cents for it.
8uch is the sense of the meeting
of representatives of the farm
era bankers, merchants, cotton j
seed and mill men, who met in
Oolsmbia today and organised 1
the South Carolina Division of *
Southern Congress, ft is also 1
planned to reduce next year'? 4
cotton acreage by (0 per cent. *
planting eight acres to the mole 1
be exempted.
Dr. Wade Stack house of Dillion,
who wii elected president
?f the South Carolina Division,
introduced the following resolutions,
which were indorsed by
bhe resolutions committed and
unanimously adopted in the following
form:
Resolutions Passed
"Whereas from 8,000,000 to
>,000,000 bales of the cotton crop
is going to be a surplus more
ihan the mills of the world, will
>pin, and will need to be carried
jver; into next year by the farmer
or his friends.
'Resolved, That the Sooth Carolina
Cotton Congress adopt
the following plan, and recou.tiend
it to our sister cotton pro
X nl
aucmg ?tares: )
"We suggest that at tba ear- t
iest possible moment every rot*! e
[on farmer be canvassed and re- r
luested to store ore-third of hi- v
jroy- in a secure warehouse and t
foully insursed so that he can
ibtiin a loan on it. I
"that at the time he is canvassed
he be requested to hold
this part of his crop for a mini- c
mum price of 12 1-2 cent per ^
basis middling and that
pAwf?r of .attorney to x
holder of the warehouse receipt, (
suthorising him to hold the cotton
for a period of ooe year, if ^
necessary, and sell only in the j
event he can get a minimum ^
prioe of 12 1-2 cents. j
"When the canvass of the ^
county is completed, if it be j
foand that as much as one-third (
of this year's crop has not been j
pledged the business men of ,
that county ought to be aeked '
hn itnra annnok

up that county's share. <
"It is agreed and understood .
that if as much as 8,000,000 j
bales are not pledged in the cot- ,
ton States each man's pledge is
to be returned to him."
"We believe if we can get
pledged and put in warehouses
one-third of this year's crop fixed
by potter of attorney, so that
it cannot be sold for less than
12 1-2 cents, that the remaing
two-thirds can be sold by the
farmors themselves, without ard
o finance.
Loan on Cotton.
"In the event we can get
pledge the minimum of 8,000,000
bales proposed above that
we call on merchants, bankers
and other business men to see
that a liberal loat is made on
cotton so placed. At the same
time that the township committee
secure thl pledgu to store
one-third of this crop we recotn
mend tbst each farmer be asked
to sign pladge to reduce hi" acreage
60 per cent, which acreage
witn intensive methods of colti-l
vatioa, will be sufficient enough I
to supply the world's needs
when the amount carried over is I
taken into considi ration. No
one is to be requests n to reduce
his acreage if he plants not more
than eight acres of cotton to the
plough. This pledge to reduce
?creage shall also become null
and void it the canvass fai.s to
retire one-third of this crop foi
rhe minimum price i f 12 1-2
cents."
