i LEGISLATURE HAS ADJOURNED. J Konnte Would Have Roniained in Sea? sion, Hut House Went Home. Columbia, March I.-,-Tho Senate at 4.32 p. m. Thursday adjourned sine die, thus bringing to an end the most unusual session tho Genera] As sembly has held in many years. The House adjourned sine dio at 3.05 p. m., while tho Sonato was taking a . recess. Adjournment of the Senate follow ed a- stormy and bitter session, dur ing which for five hours tho Blouse and anti-Blease forces fought, the nntl-Bleaseltes having the majority and forcing through their program, not, however, until the friends of tho Governor had exhausted every par liamentary device. Roll calls were forced on almost every motion. The session was featured by a stror''? arraignment and denuncia tion >f the position Governor Bleaso too); in Snoring the Senate's resolu tion asking for the Hst of appointees to varions county positions. The ???'.e^obou \vr ?< *varin iii terms and ranked all the way from mild objec tion to talk of impeachment. The Senate "remembered ?sst year * and used all the known means in their power tc force the hands of the Governor, and so tie him up thnt he either must appoint those recom mended by ibo various conney dele gations or n pool nt no one, and that ls what was done. The Senate, lcd hy Senator Clifton, had rescinded their agreement to the final adjournment ideav for to-day, and. exhausted hy five hours of bHter wrangling, had agreed to a truce for dinner and were to reassemble at 4.30 to "light it out." but the House blocked this by adjourning sine die. When the Senate reassembled thoo was nothing else for them to do but follow suit, and accordingly, without a contest, they adopted the sine die resolution and dispersed. A Kitting Climax. There were no signs of the inorn , ing's conflict In the closing moments in what, was tho most remarkable day of the most remarkable session or the Legislature In many a year. It was a history-making day and a fitting cli max to the session. Tho program of the Senate major ity was to take a recess and come back the latter part of March, but the House leaders refused to agree to this program--partly because they were woru out and wanted to go home, and partly because of the re fusal of the Senate to concur in the House resolution for a recess until May, which passed the lower body some two weeks ago. The House thought, eight weeks was enough and broke up tho Senate's plans by promptly adjourning and going home, leaving the Upper House nothing tc do but to follow suit. Senator Clifton lead the fight foi rescinding of the final adjournment and was assisted by Senators Alan Johnstone; Carlisle, Hardin and oth ers.

There was considerable bit terness displayed and par lin montar; tactics were exhausted by Se?alo Appelt and his followers in an er'or to get final adjournment. Angered by Blouse's Action. Several executive sessions of tin Senate were held, so strained was th< situation. The fight arose over Hu refusal of the Governor to send t< the Senate the list of appointment to positions in various counties, a called for in a resolution yesterday He disregarded the matter entirely and this angered the Senate to fcucl an extent that they refused to ad journ. Senator Waller opened the fight b: roundly denouncing the position o the Governor in the matter of ap polntmcnts, and told of the fight ii Greenwood, when the Governor dis regarded the recommendation of lh< delegation and appointed his owl friends to office. Tho situation aros' after the committee, consisting o Senators Appelt, Wharton am Hough, had waited on the Governo and he had Informed them that h had nothing more for thom. "Th Governor says that he has anti March 16th to make the appoint ments, and ho proposes to assert hi constitutional rights," said Senato Wharton, one of the committee. II then Informed the Senate that th Governor had nothing moro for then Waller Scores Blense. This opened Mho fireworks. Sena tor Waller arraigned and denounce the Governor for the position he ha taken in this matter, and called al tentlon to tho disregarding of th recommendations which had bee made to him by the Greenwood deb gatton. He called attention to tba provision in the constiutlon whlc says that the Governor shall appoin "hy and with the advice and consol of tho Senate." and to that part < the Code which calls Oil the (?overlie to make the appointments which ai recommended to him by the Senat while tho body is in session.

Senator Waller, who was a Con federate soldier, stated that ho had fought once and lived on cowpeas, and he could do the same again. He said this was a crisis and called on every one to stand up for the weifdre of Hie State and assert tho rights of tho Senate. He denounced "a man who attempted to rise to greatness at j the cost of his country's ruin," plaln I ly referring to the Governor. The venerable Senator displayed much fooling and spoke plainly and to the point. At one point in the speech Senator .

Senator Waller closed hy calling on tho Senate to assert its preference and "put ourselves on record, and let future history know where we stand."

During the past two or three years tl?er? has been a lot printed in the papers about the number of automo bll?S owned by farmers in States like Iowa, Kansas and Nebraska, the so called "Corn States," if you please, lt's a fact that no one can honestly dispute that t'hese lowa-rvansas far- : mers' automobiles were bought and i are kept running by money paid for their corn by Southern cotton grow ers. If there ever was a time when the ! agricultural Interests of tho South needed to stop and look a situation ? squarely In the fnce, It is NOW. ) Most people aro blue about tho cot- j ! ton situation, eapol??llj tho inuit] rio tr j lou I'.rMwr who ?.TOY* s littjiuoi uotb- ' lin??, V".se.

You can't, hear the chains rattle, but the j farmer who depends on that one crop j ls a slave to lt just the same. As a section of country, wc are buying corn by the hundreds of mil lions of dollars direct. Our meat bill, largely a product of corn, adds other tens upon tens of millions. Other hundreds of millions go for oats, hay, dairy and poultry pro ducts. As a plain matter of fact, the cotton-growing States are spending the entire cotton crop each and every year, and sometimes more, for these farm products that can all he grown in our own territory, and at one third what wo are now paying. There isn't one of these crops tin we buy that, If we handle them In telligently, can't he grown at a profit of from 100 to 200 per cent. Is there any "all-cotton" grower who reads this that will have the nerve to stand up and say that ho can make such profit on oven 15-cent cotton? We havo heard hundreds of times tho statement: "I can't afford to grow corn." lt's a mighty sorry far mer who can't, for if the Lord over made a country naturally adapted to corn-growing, lt is tho South. We have watched this boys' corn club work with lots of interest. These boys have had to keep books on their crop, and know what it costs. We went over a Hst of their reports the other day. Costs ranged from 10 cents to 42 cents per bushel. Let's take 4 2 cents, the high cost, for a starter. How many of you cotton-growing, corn-buying farmers aro getting any 4 2-cent corn from your supply mer chant? Isn't, it oftener 85 cents to a dollar cash, or $1.25 credit? These prices are facts that you have to face at "settling up" time. Is lt any won der that you have liltlo or nothing left after paying your debts-those debts being made largely for corn and corn products, such as mont and menl? It's truo that fertilizer bills make aomo "distress" cotton, but lt's moro true that tho debts you owe your merchant for corn and corn products are a whole lot moro "dis tressing." It isn't often that we can go back ? fifty or moro years to progress, but that's whore wo now stand.

It was all pro duced at home on the farms and plantations, and we have now got to get bael? lo those "before the war" days if our agricultural South is to he permanently prosperous. If tho SoUth will produce Ils own food crops, you will never see a conven tion hold over the price of cotton. Let's get back to these automobile riding, corn-growing farmers. We've got nothing against them. We know personally, quite a number of them, and they are fine people. There are a lot of them who have come to Geor gia and are growing corn, oats, and hay, which they sell to their cotton growing neighbors at a big profit. Wo j can't for Hie life of us see where we j of the South have got. any call to j furnish thc Iowa-Kansas corn-grow- , lng farmer a market so that ho can ? take our cotton dollars to buy auto- I mobilen with and kee)) thorn running "Don't you think H.'" aben; tl ?ic lo, . ii.il paying I'ht'ir g.;' billie biW-r? lt takes gasol'm: io mn a?ibinO bilc?. liiyory timo you buy a bushel j of corn, a pound of meat, a bale of hay, you are helping pay gasoline bills. .Most of you don't own an au tomobile. Why? You spend all the summer sweating over a cotton patch so that you can get money to pay for corn -and wi two to three times the price you could have made it yourself, What the South needs In lilli! more than anything else is a good old-time corn-growing "revival." There isn't any "mourner's bench" at this revival, but there ls a "corn bench" that it's time for every corn buying farmer to come up to, repent of his evil ways, and start to travel tho road of real farm prosperity in the South; tho road that has the cot ton field on one side (halo per aero or better) and the heavy laden Holds of forty bushels per acre or more of corn on the other. That's tho real practical, useful farm religion, so to speak, that needs reviving, and must be revived on hundreds of thousands of Southern farms before tho South can be permanently prosperous. We say the South. That means every single Individual farmer in thc South who is buying corn or meal, meat or hay. This revival has got to begin on your farm as well as on ?our neighbor's; on Alabama farms as well as In South Carolinn. Down on the Hastings Farm there is corn and oats and hay sufficient to feed every head of stock on tho place for a year or moro. There are hun dreds of acres of oats growing now. There aro several Hundred tons of hay, surplus to sell In addition to the nearly OOO bales of cotton made. Xot a dollar of Hastings Farm money will bo spent for hay and grain. We can't afford lo help pay tho Kansas farmer's gasoline bill, and we know YOU can't. We would no moro at tempt to run the Hastings Farm as an "all-cotton" farm than we would attempt to cut'off an arm or leg. lt would mean In the course of a mighty few years bankruptcy. It means tho same to you. It's Hmo to got out of the rut of all-cotton farming or nenr all-cotton farming, unless you have no higher ambition In lifo than to helji keep the Iowa-Kansas farmer's automobile running. Let's all get into a revival of this practical, common-sense farm relig ion If wo may call lt that-in 1912. Cures baby's croup.
