p- g - O' COTTON CONGRESS WILL MEET IN ALL COUNTIEJ Saturday, November 14, th< Date Set. TO MEET IN COURT HOUSE AcljtisUtiK "l K?*uts u> VcronRO l-a\ ao<l I'lantiiii; of Small (ifalu to In* !?isi ussi'il. To the Kdltor oi The News: l call <>ii the < dton congress i' every county in South Caroline t meet at the co: rt house at 1 1 o'c!o< 1 Saturilay. November It. to discus two subjects. First: The plant inj of small grains, and second, adjust ing the rent contract to the acreagi reduction law. I request that the denionstratiot agent of each county, the merchants bankers and business men will meel with the farmers and will devitu ways and means of providing seed tc plant oats, wheat, rye and rape It is now seed time, and while out merchants and bankers feel disoourraged over poor collections, it will be short sighted policy for them not to provide ample seed to plant onethird of th ?cultivated land in South Carolina in small grains. Some oi our people seem to fear there will i>. no demand nor sale for small grain next summer. I believe this fear is groundless and that any surplus oats, wheat and rye will find ready sale at high prices. The future May oats market quoted yesterday in Chicago at 53 cents per bushel, would indicate that oats in South Carolina should bring that price pins freight to the seaboard. Ship loads of wheat have recently sold at $1.23 per bushel. We can put our oats and wheat on the market at least 60 days before the Western farmer can deliver his. 1 suggest that the county president of each county congress select two or more 8[?eakcrs to discuss (lie host moth od of preparing the hind and see" ing to small grains. o-ts should have heen planted, hut even now ii immediate prej arn; :<? i- ;n: that m." i ill - !> ; * I hope all persons now re i cotton or rash rent will rii j' rent contract providing t t 01 half rent can ho paid in ottts, wheat corn or hay. I suggest \ iimpart of tho cotton rent at in routs per pound, and in place of it to t:.k' oats at r.n cents per hushol or corn at ?1 |?er linshcl, both deliverc 1 in bags at the railroad station; or hay at $2n per ton in halo* dolivorod . t the station. This will guarantee tenants a fair price for grain and hay. and will relieve their fears of not being able to handle grain and hay crops. This change in rent c ontract I feel may reduce the South Carolina crop next year 200,000 bales Hear In mind that fully 5,000,000 bales of cotton now made will have to be carried in the South until September, 1915, and that the value of every hale carried over will be lessened by every acre of cotton planted. If you plan to carry over any cotton, use your best efforts to get at least one-third of the cultivated land in South Carolina planted in small grains. I request county papers to publish this call, and urged a large attendance at the meetings next Saturday. 1 hope every editor of the county papers i nthe state will editorially and otherwise urge the planting of small grain immediately.

I Prof. Thomas W. Lingle of Davld6 son College, In The Charlotte Obser' ver, says: "In view of the fact that we get nearly all our war news ami views through reports and press of the allies ^ anil very little of the German point o1 view ever reaches us, it occurs to mo tha' the readers of Tlte Oberver tn 11 ht enjoy read in;? tlte enclose:! letter. The writer and his wife have been warm friends of mine for 11'? years, ovr friendship dating from ntv student days at the I'uiversity of Leipsic, when we were young folks together.

We hope and trust that ere this you have safely reached home ; and found all well with your loved | ones. Considering circumstances, all goes well with us. To be sure, our manufacturing business has suffered greatly. owing to the fact that we deal exclusively in articles of luxury.

Would the English and French have permitted tliis and allowed thousands of their men to be | destroyed for the sake of protect- 1 ing a historic monument? No one believes such a thing possible, least i of all the practical and unsentimental Englishman. Rut in spite of the bombardment, thanks to the remarkable skill of our artillerymen, the cathedral suffered .only slight injury. The observation station behind the white flag on the cathedral was desoryed by means of wellalmed sharpnel, and the Injuries to the historic church can easily he repaired in a short time. Nothing at all would have happened to the * church if the French themselves had _ not been the cause. Residua, the C question may properly he raitiol: i Did the French in times past, when j in Germany, spare our historic tnon- ' uments from destruction? I call to your remembrance ^Melac's march through lie Palatinate and his destruction of the Heidelberg castle, f one of our most famous architec-'s tural marvels. Do you recall what j Napoleon. Bonaparte did? Did he spare works of art in Germany and i Italy? What the French in those ^ iimes aid not destroy tney stole.
