PROPOSITION TO PAY
THE SOUTH FOR ITS COTTON
Taxed Unlawfully by Federal Govern
meat la the 60s by Giving the
Funds to Confederate
Veterans,
The following papers have been
handed to The Herald ana isews ior
publication. They refer to the cotton
tax collected from Southern farmers
by the federal government in the 03;
which tax the United States supreme
court has declared, in effect if not
directly, was unconstitutional. After
so many years it would be impossible
to locate with any certainty the law
ful claimants to this tax, and so it
has been urged that the amount
should be given to the surviving sol
diers of the Southern Confederacy, or
the widows of Confederate soldiers.
This is a matter to which Capt. M.
M. Euford, of this county, has devoted
a good deal of thought and time, and
it has been largely through his in
fluence that the proposition has reach
ed its present stage.
The bill covering the proposition
was introduced in the house of re
presentatives May 3, 1917, by Jno. N.
Tillman of Arkansas. At the recent;
*? -c votoMne in I

unanimously endorsing Mr. Tillman's
bill.

In the House of Representatives.
May 3, 1917.
Mr. Tillman introduced the follow

Committee on War Claims and or
dered to be printed.

to the widows of Confederate sol
riWc ssofl and $30 ner month dur

Whereas a large amount of money,
approximating $100,000,000, was se
cured and collected from the people
of the South during the Civil war
and the reconstruction period that
followed from the following-named
sources: First, from captured and
abandoned property; second, from
confiscated property; and, third,
from the collection of the cotton tax
from eighteen hundred and sixty
three to eighteen hundred and sixty
eight; and
Whereas what is known as the "cot
ton tax" was illegally collected;.and
Whereas the Soutn prior 10 cue uvu

"that every effort be now made to de
tect and arrest persons subject to re
gistration who have not registered,
and to bring each. case promptly to the
attention of the nearest representa
tive of the Department of Justice."
General G'rowder states that the
Department of Justice has today
sent similar advices to H'nited States
atorneys and marshals, "with instruc
tions to release on tneir own recog
nizances all persons arrested by mar
shals or deputy marshals, or by
> (- ccuntv ani municipal police
officer, and turned over to them,
who promptly register under the
terms of paragraph 40. registration
regulations.''
Acting upon the orders contained In
the telegram. Governor Manning tias
instructed all peace officers in South
Carolina to arrest immediately all who
failed to register under the selective
service act. The law will be vigorous
ly enforced.
The telegram from the provost
marshal general to Governor Manning
is as follows:
"Quotas are to be assigned to the
several states in proportion to their
puymaLlUU <13 UCICI rniucu uy mv. LS JL
reau of census and not in proportion
to the registration. The result is that
every person who has failed to regis
ter is seriously increasing the bur
den of those who have registered.
Ample notice and every opportunity
has now been given and tnere is no
longer any argument upon wftlch the
conduct of nonregistrants can t>e con
doned. The period of leniency re
ferred to in my No. 500 has now pased.
Attention is invited to paragraph 16
of the regulations. It is requested
that everv effort be now made to de
tect and arrest persons subject to re
gistration who have not registered
and to bring each case promptly to
the attention of the nearest represen
tative of the Department of Justice.
Wide publication should be given to
the effect of the nonregistration in
increasing the burden of those who
have registered. Care should be ta
ken that the lists prescribed in para
1 0/\ OTl/J oil
giapn ?5y are {JXUUipLlJ' ^aaLCU, auu an
registrants should be asked to assist
in bringing nonregistrants to ttie at
tention of the pilice.
''Summarization reports of registra
tion from the various boards should
be compared with estimates of census
bureau, and effort should be concen
trated on those districts where dis
crepancy between registration and es
seems greatest. In case of
doubt as to age of persons who have
not registered the tabulated record of
local records should be consulted and
data may be obtained from the bu
reau of the census.
"The purpose of this telegram is to
inaugurate from tomorrow a vigor
ous and aggressive and effective en
forcement of tne penai clauses 01 me
selective service law against all who
have by failure or refusal to register
brought themselves under those pro
visions.
"The Department of Justice is send
ing: todav similar advices to the United I
States attorneys and marshals, with
instructions to release on their own
recognizances all persons arrested
by marshals or deputy marshals, or
by state, county ond municipal police
officers, and turned over to them, who
promptly register under the terms of
paragraph 40, registration regulations.
The secretary of war construes seo
tion 5 of the selective service law as
requiring compulsory registration by
the officer making the arrest of eaeh
arrested person immediately upon his
conviction.
"Please give notice to all who have
any duty enjoined upon them in con
nection with the enforcement of the
ruiTifli cIaiisac the law. and narticu
