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
