_s / ilLS BOND ISSUE / j AND TAX EXTENSION / Senate Makes Short Work of / McLaurin Joint Resolution. DEBATE ON ACREAGE. John Ij. >l<l,aurin for Total Kliitiination. With Alan Johnstone Opposing. Columbia Special to Charleston wews ana courier, oct. 7.?Debate on the substitute motion offered by Senator McLaurin providing for total elimination of cotton cultivation next year occupied the entire time of the Senate tonight, and had not been concluded when at a late hour adjournment was taken until tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock. The substitute was offered for the Clifton resolution, declaring it to be the sense of the Senate that not more than seven acres to the plough should be planted in 1915, which had been amended by Senator Manning to provide for cultivation in 1915 of only one-third of the land planted in cotton this year In a speech, which showed his thorough understanding of the cotton problem. Senator John L. McLaurin urged the total elimination of the cotton planting next year. He said it was largely a matter of financing the present crop and quoted figures to show the great surplus of cotton on nana, senator Aian jonnstone, in his raasteriy way, raised his voice in warning against enacting a law which would not be constitutional and which he said, might force the poor white men to emigrate. While willing and anxious far a measure to reduce cotton acreagfe. which would reduce surplusage (he Newberry Senator vigorously opposed total elimination. NO OPPOSITION TO REDUCTION. The debate attracted great interest, many members of the lions? and visitors crowding the Senate chamber to listen to the discussion. Not a voice was raised in opposition to reduction of the cotton acreage. Some favored limiting the planting to three bales to the plough, others five, still others seven. All amendments were ordered printed in the Journal and the senate will take up again in the morning the threshing out of all ideas and evolving the sense of the majority on what kind of a reduction measure to enact. Favorable reports were made by the committees to the senaTe on the McLaurin warehouse bill and on the Hackerman occupation license tax bill to ?educe cotton acreage, it port u-ithmit rcn mmenriatini whk re turned on the Sullivan hill restricting the acieage to 2 50 lint pounds of cotton to the plough. The report of the judiciary r?mm it tee affirming the right v>f S mator Patterson ef Barnwell to retain tils ?eai was adopted. SENATE KILLS BILL. The senate this morning killed the McLaurin joint resolution provinding for extension of time for payment of taxes and proposed a $1,500,000 bond issue to put the state on a cash basis, and complete the removal of the asylum. The fight on these two measures was opened by Chairman Hardin of the finance committee. Senator Sinkler thought the measures unwise and would tend to dislocate the county government. Senator Sullivan denounced the measures as unwise and "could not understand" how Senator McLaurin backed by Representative Stevenson could propose them. Senator Nicholson thought prompt action in rejecting the measures was necessary to state the policy of the state to the counties and help extend the credit of the counties and the state by promptly killing the measures. Senator Carlisle showed how the greater, or major part of the taxes were paid by corporations and to extend the payment would work serious hardship on the eouiities. Senator McLaurin defended the measures but the senate promptly rejected them overwhelmingly. NO ELECTION OP JUDGE. Prior to this the house concurrent resolution fixing today as Hie date for the joint assembly to elect a judge for the fifth circuit and a trustee of the Citadel was killed in the senate, the fight on the resolution having been led by Senator Clifton. Tfis motion to table prevailing 24 to 13. The upper body made clear its determination to act instantly on the emergency legislation for the relief of the cotton situation and not to allow other things to interfere. In order to get the sense of the senate as to what form of cotton acreage reduction for next year should be in Senator Clifton offered a resolution declaring it to he the sense of the upper chamber that the cotton acreage next year be resricted to seven acres of cotton to the plow, conditioned on one-half of the cotton states passing a similar law. The Sumter senator said he wanted to get the sense of the senate so as to facilitate the passing of an acreage reduction act and get through with the session. Debate on the O'tfton resolution was postponed until tonight at 8:15, the senate receding from business until 8 p. m. $5 PER DAY AND MILEAGE.
