\ f" yiiHiinniiiiHi iin 11 UNFAIR TO THK SOUTH. Charleston News anil Courier. Says The New York Times: the South has raised too much ?n?U? this year, then the South wern and aavlsed as it has been, shou blame itself. It couM have rais< more of oth?v things in place cotton." This is the kind of armchair >,e eralizatlon which causes thoughtf readers to discount, us tlioy <1 newspaper statements. The Tinu without any practical know ledg? what it is writing about, has ovider ly followed the general discussion the cotton situation in a vagu 4 ai desultory sort of way. has lea in broadly to a conclusion, and ;u makes a sweeping allegation whe is not in accord with the fac ts ai which is damaging to a section of tl country which has had V> 'near nun more of its share of the hardshi which the Kuropean war lias inflict npon neutrals. It is quite true that in tlv pa the South has grown more eottc than it should have grown. Its pe T pie have not devoted as much atle tion as they should have to the uti zation of their incidental resource They were especially unfortunate at in a sense blameworthy in that t outbreak of the war found them wl the largest cotton crop they hi ever raised on their hands. Th had to get rid of it as best th could and in their agitation and d! tress they were betrayed into a nui ber of errors, some of them serioi But the masses of the Southern pe pie accepted their punishment ai no section of the country has mai tained a finer attitude toward t larger issues which have been rals by the world war now in progrei With the single exception of Ho Smith, The Times cannot name Southern congressman or a Sout ern senator who has tried to ma capital for himself out of the exh ing situation. It is in poor taste, then, for T Times, which ought to know bett* to slander the South as it does in t editorial from which we have quote The reduction in the size of tl year's cotton crop is quite as lar as. in all the circumstances, w economically practicable. This nev j.-. paper never expected that a larg reduction in acreage would be < feeted. Again and again last fi and winter when proposals were u der consideration for the redueti of the cotton acreage by law, T News and Courier opposed such ; tion first because it was wrong principle and second upon the grou that it was not feasible in view the fact that the South's labor sc ply is made up of negroes, who wi brought here originally for the ? nress nnri>n?i> of riillivutini> ooii# and who are absolutely dependf upon the cultivation of cotton for livelihood. To have made any turtli cut in the cotfon acreage than w accomplished would have men throwing great numbers of th< poor helpless creatures out of e ployment with no possible char that they would be able to seer employment. Cotton is the oi crop with the cultivation of whi most of them are familiar. If t cotton acreage had been cut in Ir as many urged, thousands of tin undoubtedly would have faced actt starvation. The only right thing and the 01 practicable thing for the South y have done, was the thing which ( South did do. It has eliminated useless expenditures. It has i down wastage. It has grown t present crop of cotton more cheat than any crop hits been grown I years past. It has accomplished great deal, a very great deal wh everything is considered, in the w of meeting its own needs in the mi ter of corn and wheat and oats a hogs. It has made a beginning developing a runic industry. T whites of the South have done th best to take core of themselves a to take rare of the blacks who ti dependent upon them. They lui worked liuril and they have i whimpered. The caricatures of hi Cotton as a beggar which have pi voked much ridicule at the Not have done the masses of the Soul ern people a gross Injustice. It Is unfortunate for tlic Sor that the outbreak of the war fou them unprepared for such conditio as were brought about. (t Is r wholly their fault, however, that t agriculture of th" Hoitlh was up such an unsound basis. The Sou In the past has continued f > gr, too much cotton becauso the ban I financed from New York, enrourag and compelled It. F The cotton crop which has be frown this year is not In excess the world's needs.
