Columbia, April 14.-The South Carolina Cotton Association has re ceived a copy of a telegram sent by Governor Allen, of Kansas, to Attor ney General A. Mitchell Palmer at Washington, charging that tho move ment among Southern planters ls in violation of the Federal law, and of fering to furnish the Attorney Gene ral ?with definite citations. The copy of the telegram has been given to tho press by tho South Carolina As sociation. The message from the Kansas Governor to the Attorney General follows in full: " 1 have expressed the view In a telegram to Hon. J, S. Wannamaker, [chairman of the South Carolina Cot ' ton Association, that the combina tion for acreage reduction Of cotton and tho holding of the present supply now being organized in many States of the South, is In violation of Fede ral laws. "From circulars sent out by the or ganization supporting this combina tion, I learn that the original is com posed, not alone of cotton growers, but bankers, cotton speculators and business men. Their purpose is to raise the price of cotton which they are now holding, and also to perma nently raise the price of cotton in the future. This is definitely expected in their circulars, and appears to bo not alone in the interest of the Southern farmers, but of all persons who are holding and possibly secur ing a 'corner' in the cotton now on bund against the time of the lifting of the embargo. "You, of course, know of the anti monopoly act of July 2, 1890, which declares that 'Every contract or com bination, in the form of trust or otherwise, or conspiracy in restraint tic I RECORD BREAK ri ES OF THE WC ir-Sherman's March to h Before the War--Th?

Seed situation Improved. There has boon a marked improve ment in the situation as regards cot ton seed, according to a statement issued to-dny by the South Carolina Cotton Association, which has boon working- on tho seed situation for some time. The statement urges tho farmers not to make use of their seed for fertilizer purposes, ns the mills will make direct purchases. Tho statement Issued by tho asso ciation follows, in full: "The South Carolina Cotton Asso ciation has had up the question of the cotton seed situation for quito some time. They have been trying to get relief for the seed situation through every known source, and aro very much gratified to Inform the public that tho seed situation is be ing relieved to a marked extent. The Federal Reservo Board has rendered every assistance possible In bringing relief to tho seed situation. The Fedoral Reserve Board has backed up the movement with tho United States Food Administration and tho Division of Collateral Commodities of the United States Food Adminis tration in every way possible. "While some oil has moved, still the mills have been badly blocked. Information now brings to light the fact that orders are being issued to milln to buy seed, and the situation will be reliovod as fast as possible. "Farmers are urged not to uso their seed for fertilizer purposes, as the mills will make direct purchases. The proposition to store seed, and tho proposition to sell seed and ac cept a certain amount of hulls for the same are not in line with tho straight-out purchase of cotton seed whioh will certainly be made by the mills. This should be a great relief to the farmers, as they have already boen caused a tremendous loss on account of not being able to dispose of their seed." Europe's Needs ns Factor. , That Europe lacks money and credit with which to buy cotton, and that if tho South plants a full cotton acreage and . makes a .normal, crop,, conditions, in this section .vAYiJ^oV Avofie^nWtft the beglnhinr'oVttte world war in 1914, is the opinion of former Governor Manning, of South Carolina, who is now in Franco. A letter received by tho chairman of the South Carolina Cotton Asso ciation from the former Governor, and given out recently, sounds a very strong note of warning to the plant ers of tho South, hi bis letter Gover nor Manning said : , "I spent some time in New York and Northern points for the purpose of making a personal study of the cotton situation nt first hand. The information gathered at those points was a revelation to mo. Tho situa tion is just this: Europe needs food; Europo needs dollies. She can post pone buying clothes, but she cannot postpone buying food. Europe lacks both money and credit with which to buy. Speculators will, of course, buy cotton as cheaply as possible. Com petition will bo lacking, there belnp; no funds for credit for competitors. The%big syndicates will have an open field. If the South plants a full cot ton acreage, and makes even a nor mal crop, she will reap a whirlwind. It means eight or ton cents for cot ton, and possibly even lower prices. It certainly moans far worse prices and conditions than prevailed in the South Just after tho commencement of tho world war in 1914." IiOCAIi NEWS ABOUT SENECA.
