G. Hastings n Atlanta, Ga.?(Special.)?The cred- jj It system under which tjhe agricultu- jjj ral south works and stays poor is an- 5J alyzed in a striking way by H. G. J# Hastings of Atlanta, chairman of the jj agricultural committee of the Cham- 3 ber of Commerce, and a niember of "J the executive council of tne South- B eastern Fair. He does not mince 3 ivords in talking about the situation, * "Every season during the last fifty D pears," he says, "there has been trou- 3 ble in the cotton belt whenever the Jf cr?p was large and the price low, or U the crop short. Each time the cry of ff hard times goes up, and the reason "J back of it is that the farmers cannot U get enough money to pay their debts K out of their so-called casn crop?coi- 3ton. It is disheartening because it is ftf 30 absolutely unnecessary. n "A cotton farmer's debts are large- Jf ly for food and grain, charged up Q against hini on the merchants' books R at two to three times the price that those same items could be produced U on his own acres, and usually without A serious interference with a crop of cot- Jf ton as large as he now makes. *] "The trouble is that most cotton Jjfl farmers owe their crop instead of ||j awning it when made. 13] "The credit way looks the easy way, but it strangles most farmers before they get through life. | "I have said repeatedly in public f iddresses that no state or section of my country can be prosperous that | is regularly dependent on another f section for its food supplies. What is true of a state or section is true U jf the individual farmer. n "The great exhibits of grain, hay ind food products shown at the South-: Q eastern Fair held in Atlanta in No- ff irember, give the lie to the statement Jff that these things cannot be grown D here at home successfully and prof- R itably. # "A good big home garden kept Q planted and rightly tended through n the season will produce half of the S living besides furnishing an abund- U ance lor canning or aryji:.g Hum tut; | surplus. "When we make our food and grain we will have few or no debts at the store; we will own instead of owe our crops when made, and farm wealth will accumulate in the south instead of farm and crop mortgages." WHISKEY LAWS OF SOUTH CAROLINA (Continued from Page One) aras enacted which permitted county jption as between dispensaries and prohibition, and very soon the dispensaries were voted out of numbers jf counties especially in the Pied- * nont section. This was the begin- ~ ning of the downfall of the State w dispensary. ' u In 1905 and 1906 an investigation J of the system was undertaken by a v committee of the Legislature and it reulted in unearthing far-reaching ( scandals and frauds- in the State's li- f quor business, long suspected and al- 5 leged but not hitherto proved. En- I deavors were made to tighten the ? law and eliminate possibilities of fraud, but the Legislature did not I succeed. In 1906 M. F. Ansel, of J Greenville, was elected governor on f an anti-State dispensary platform J and a General Assembly in sympathy ( with this idea was elected with him.11 The Legislature in 1907 abolished the State dispensary and substituted I county dispensary system by what ? is known as i;he "Carey-Cothran" | law. In August, 1909, the 21 coun-il ties having dispensaries, by order of [ the Legislature, held referendums as p to their abolition or retention and all i J the counties except six voted "dry.";| Since then about nine counties have j J voted ir. county dispensaries. |" The action of the Legislature of I 1915 submitted a Statewide prohibi- F tion law to a State referendum j which resulted in an election in Sep-11 tember, 1916, in accepting the law. fl The Statewide prohibition of the' 3 liquor traffic which begins today is, Jj in accordance wun inat act anu r?i- y erendum.
