?a The Press and Banner ABBEYILL?, S. C. Published Every Wednesday by W. w. Bradley, . W. E. Bradley, President. Vice-President Wednesday Oct. 21,1914 BURNING THE FARMERS' CANDLE AT BOTH ENDS. Cotton goods are selling at the same prices that prevailed when cot ton was 13$ cents, and many of the mills have contracts from six months to twelve months ahead ;"but the mills are buying their cotton at 6$ cents. In other words, if the mills had a profit in their cloth when cot ton was 18? cents, they now have a profit in outstanding contracts of more than 100 per cent. Cotton seed oil is selling now at the same price quoted when cotton seed were 35 to 40 cents per bushel. Now cotton seed are selling from 20 to 22 cents per bushel, or thereabouts. T' it-- -!1 :il~ 1 l ?1+ ..4- Afi 11 uio uii lUiiiD 11 au a jjiuiii/ at -*v cents per bushel, they now have a profit of something like/75 per cent, even granting a reduction in the price of meal and hulls, which can not be used as a human food product. Now, then, the cotton oil mills and the cotton mills are Southern institu tions. All other Southern institu tions, of whatever nature, are ex hausting their energy and thought in the effort to save the Southern cot ton farmer from destruction. Why could not the cotton mills and the cotton oil mills lend a helping hand Jbty sharing their profits with the pro ducer, even in ever so small a de \ gree. They could give a premium on the market price for raw products i liwtMd of becoming parties to agree ments that keep competition out of ibeir territory. For instance, if the cotton mill at this place sees fit to bay eetton away from home, it must send outside Jhe zone of its. agree ment to get the cotton And the same thing is true of cotton seed. This county is .parcelled out to the various , cotton mills, most of it belonging to the .Abbeville Cotton Mill. Due West and Donalds, in this county, . belong to Pelser or did, and no oth er mill will send its buyers into those towns, as the buyers from this town for the mill will not undertake to. bay either in Due'West or Donalds. Of course, export buyers or buyers Tor private account are not governed - by this combination. . If it is not a fact that the entire upper part of South Carolina is par Cdled ont to certain cotton mills, in which.fields two.mills will not com pete, we would be glad far some one welt enough informed to $peak, to deny the fact. The same is true of the .seed business, though in this there is littleoon*petition because of the great monopoly by the Southern Cotton Oil Company. , If hi times of peace these combi nations were deemed necessary, they may have been exensable; bat now . when rain threatens the whole coun ty because of the destruction of prices on raW cotton, It is time for these organizations of capital to lift lite lid juat a little bit and give the fanner just-a -breath of air, For in stance, instead of paying as much fbr cotton in some other State and shipping it itflo this State,fthe trills might pay the added price of freight to the producer. If the mills act in.a bostile way to the producer in his extremity, It is just as certain as fate, that the pro dncer will retaliate when ills inning comes. If, on the other band, the ,*aihs show a real sympathy with the producer by Helping him, out of bis abundant margin of profit, the pro ducer will be more liberal with him whem4O)0 jcgap ? turned. . i '" * ^ ?*. !>*? * i jmmsza to plow.

Who is igofog to stand at bis back to hfigin.another crop, with ther prospect of his raising three to four, bales of cotton? ,Not the merchant' or banker, for they have their load in this year's crop, and they can no.more borrow on a growing grain crop than can the far mer himself. Not the landowner for he has not the means, and not one in ten can borrow from the banks without some cetton as a basis, even in normal times. Then to whom is the tenant to look ? When the leg islature has answered this question satisfactorily it will be time enough to consider reduction of acreage to six acres to the plow. In other words, if the legislature would cut cotton acreage to six . acres to the plow, it should provide funds to lend, to-the farmers on oats and corn, in the growing state, to help make the V'\ V , i*" V I nrfttfanmit i -7. tfrrrTtfr^. . iinTiiCTiw^rr^ crops. Any farmer who is familiar with conditions in South Carolina, knows that the grain crop in the South is the most treacherous of all crops. The very land that produces 25 bushels of oats to the acre this year, may produce ten next year, though all conditions except moist ure may have been the same. And then who is prepared to market a grain crop? It all sounds very well to talk about European demand for grain; but let.it tye remembered that grain is contraband of war and Eu ropean markets will be closed to grain, cnai are not wuseu u> uunou. While we do not believe that ten acres of cotton to the horse would produce over 60 per cent of a normal crop, or even 55 per cent, suppose it did produce 70 per cent. This would reduce the yield to 10,500,000 bales, and with English mills running as they are, and with all other Euro pean markets open to cotton, even in their crippled condition, consump tion will exceed 10,000,000 bales American cotton. Then, again, sup pose there should be a small surplus hext year, the third year, even under war conditions, on a ten acre basis, there would be a shortage, and cot ton would gradually resume a nor mal price. In the meantime far mers could break even if they did not get rich. The average yield of cotton over the cotton belt now is less than six bales /to the horse. Cut off the land planted .to six acres which is a reduc tion of 70 per cent in acreage, and ; all the rains and all the fertilizer that could be showered on the crop would not make the yield exceeding six million bales of cotton or an average of two and a half to three bales to 1 the horse. Take out the cost of fer- ' tilizer and the cost of feeding man 5 and beast, and what have you? Starvation at best; or an absurd and impossible condition that the farmer simply will not submit to. It is unfair for the legislature to base its calculations on a speculative increased yield per acre and it is just as unfair to base them on exceptions. The averaged yield over the belt is "the just basis of calculation, to which may be added a small increased yield per acre under reduced acreage. - Total reduction, or even reduction to six acres, means the stopping of every oil mill in the South, and the i throwing out of employment the hundreds of thousands of people en gaged in th^t business. It means the. running hf cotton mills on half time and .the throwing out of em ployment the hundreds of thousands of people,engaged in that industry. It means pauperizing the tenant far mers, and crippling beyond repair 1 the land owner. It would be rank 1 inillfltim tn ranitol nnrl a nv Smu 1 against labor. ; f > . < NOTICE OF ELECTION. , (Continued from Last Week.) i 4 No. 550. 4 ' A JOINT RESOLUTION to Amend 1 Section 7, Article VIII,, of the Con- ] 1 Btitution, Relating to Municipal j Bonded Indebtedness by Adding .a u Proviso Thereto an to the fHtv nf s Florence. i ]' < - Section 1.
