I Often The Kidneys Are Weakened hy (fter-Work. Unhealthy Kidneys Make Impure Blood.

March 7.?About 400 or 500 farmers from different counties of the Fee Dee section were here today to tear President Harvie Jordan and Ml-. F H. Hjatt speak. Nearly every county in the Pee Dee section was represented. Mr. F. H. Hjatt, of the Southern Cotton association, made a very -interesting talk. He urged the farmeas to cut their acreage and laid great stress on the necessity of the farmavo vaisinn thaip ciirinliao The? 1 Gfc L JLU Ci O bUVIi OU A uv j would never do anything as long as their smoke bouses and corn cribs were in the West. Tbey could dictate terms of their sale if they had their own supplies. Mr. Hyatt received applause. President Harvie Jordan was next introduced. He was received witb great applause. He had been anxious to come to South Carolina and get in touch with her people and get some of their enthusiasm. This State was to be congratulated on her Btand in the movement and class of officers she had elected. He said be proposed to discuss but one or two of tne features of the cotton association. Thirst. h? to mi M difip.nsH nrnductinn. It bad been said tbere was scarcity of labor. There was no scarcity of labor in production of cotton so ioDg as we make more than the world wants. Don't talk about scarcity of labor in cotton production, but put the labor to raising food supplies. What we should learn is how to market our crop of cotton after it is produced. The pleasure of profit of business comes when you put money in your pocket. Uoless we run cur business so as to make profit our life is a failure. Our people know how to produce cotton but not a thing about its consumption. The federal government is spending hundreds of thousands of dollars every year to find out and tell us everything about its production from the time it is in the 6eed until it leaves the hand of the producer, but not one word after that. They tell us nothing about its consumption. They do this for the epinner, but what do they give us? The government is doiDg but half of its duty. It is treating us only half fair. He said he had just returned from WaehiDgtoD, where be had been before the investigating committee and he urged the importance of this and believed we would soon get it. He illustrated what the manufacturer made out of dur cotton when we bought it back by a handkerchief. Ordinary cotton handkerchief cost him 10 cents and it takes 25 to weigh a pound, which equals $2 50 a pound, while the farmer gets about 10 cents. The manufacturer gets $1,250 for what be buys for $50. It is our duty to study the question and find out where this $1,200 is absorbedr The same is true of thread. J. and P. Coats buy long staple cotton at 15 cents per pound, make 8 dozen spools to the pound and sell it 50 cents a dozen. They get $22 80 for what they buy for 75 cents. That is too much margin for cost of manufacturer and dividend* What is the result? J. and P. Coats are multimillionaires and the producers are beggars. Cotton has only four competitors in the world?wool, silk, flax and Iodian cotton. Wool sells for 30 cents per pound, flax 40 to 50 cents, silk $1 and Indian cotton 15 cents per pound. So our cotton stands today without a competitor up to 15 cents per pound. Why do we ever sell a pound for less than 15 cents? It is due to two main reasons. First, by reason f<y over production our cotton comoptes against itself in the markets, jsecond, it is due to the fact that ^e have no system of mart-_L._ _ ttt_ . i i . ~ *euug. >? e viuiaie me legitimate laws of supply and demand; rush it all on the market in a few months. Those who violate that law?the farmers?have to pay for it. _ It is the one monopoly controlled by a certain class of people. We control it absolutely and yet by that system of marketing we are yet slaves to the rest of the world. We have got to use more braios and lees muscle; they must b)th work. A man who depends on muscle alone will be a factor in the world. We must bring the whole South together. How? By building warehouses and put an expert cotton man in charge, who can grade it and with receipts for it deal direct with spinners. We must do away with the middle man. The middle man is an expert usually and the farmer knows DothiDg about it. The farmer simply has to stand and see him cut his cotton on the street and take what he gives or beg him to give 11C more. He used as illustration to show what the warehouse system would do the graiuaries in the Northwest Before these were built farmers were getting 30 to 40 cents for their wheat and now they are getting from 8C cents to $1, and that country is flourishing, Prosperity is general. How is it with us? We And our people here in Dixie, who are the best people in the world, bending their knee and taking 1-16 more. The men who are pricing cottor today are Dot producers, not the spinners, but a email coerie of gamblers. How loDg is the South to wear the jckt"? The South has suffered loDg enough and we must put a stop to it Let's nui produce too mucb. Let's regulate the supply to suit the demand. Mr. Jordan said be waDted to talk for a few minutes about a matter which be had been greatly criticised for, but did Dot care how much he was criticised unless it came from the South. The committee of the association met last year and agreed on 11 cents for this crop. The trade regarded that fair. About that time began the movement of the crop. The consuming worjd knows we had debts to pay and would have to rush our coltou to market. They said the minimum of 11 cents is o. k., but we will get it for less. We can take advantage of that. And as it came foiward by hundreds of thousands ol bales, the consuming world hammered it, and hammered it, till it. went to 9 cents. Njw it is but fair that we put it at a prife that will pay us back for*what they took from us and tbey will be careful before they treat us that way again. Another reason, at the prevailing price of cotton goods every sp'oner could afford to pay at least ll? cents for this year's whole crop lr all the cotton South today should kpU at 15 ceDta it would not average 11| cents for the whole crop. He Baid his fight was for the whole South. Let the farmers prosper and the merchants and bankers would prosper. Its the duty of every American ciiiztn to protect the price of cotton. It is a national issue. He who tries to drag the price of cotton down !9 on eut-my to the United States. We export. 65 per cent, of our crop and if it were not for this the balance of trade would not be in favor of the United States as it i9 He said he hated to have to ask the farmer to reduce acreage but we must regulate the quantity. You farmers are the arbiters of your own fate, you have 60 days to decide it in. Don't think that cur reduction last year did it ail for us Providence came to our rescue. There ought to be a clean horizontal cut of 10 per cent, this year. If you cut 15 per cent, last year, make it a total of 25 per cent, this year. If you cut 25 per cent., make it 10 per cent, more this year. Increase your food supply crop. We must make our own supplies. Go borne tonight and around your fireside with your family circle take a 6olemn oatb to make your farm selfsustainiDg if you baven'c already done it. Mr. H. S. R088 arose in the audience at this point and asked what he thought of the ptesent prospects for 15 cents for balance of lest year's crop. ? Mr. Jordan gave some very interesting statistics showing that if the farmers would continue to hold as they are. it would have to reach that point. He said that mills had paper contracts for April and May and the farmer had the cotton, and;7 if he would keep his backbone and hold to it, the mills would find themselves in the predicament of trying to manufacture cotton goods out of paper contracts. Tortus By Savages. "Speaking of the torture to which some of the savage tribes in the Philippines subject their captives reminds me of the intense suffering I endured for three months from inflammation of the kidneys," says W.
