Smj Written by Mm Mabel Mc Waters of the Prosperity Hifh School.?-Awarded the Aull ?1*17 Medal. -"There come a aon? that awakes my - so al, It ia the song of yean that are gone They roll before me with their? deeds." Wr So tings every true child of the I new South, through whose veins L. flows the blood of those old heroes J of that wonderful epoch in history I -known as "The Reconstruction." |r Beginning with the colonies and | coming down to Reconstruction " times in its sacred heraldry; in its I glorious insignia the South had gathered and stored chiefly this supreme idea Divine right of liberty in man. At the close of the war the seceded states were in a state of utter exhaustion. We protected our South-, land against federal authority until . * further resistance was impossible and laid down our arms only because i there was no longer any power toj use- them. \ Our financial, political and social! systems were of a very grave nature. I We were bankrupt in our public finances and without private property. We were without governments and not allowed the power to frame governments except by the permission of federal authorities. - Socially we were in a state of an- i " archcy. C " 4 About this time there came into. ? the field to ply their villianous arts, the carpet-bagger, the soulless op pressor from the north and the seal- j lowag, the soulless plunderer from: Rhe south and for nearly ten years j in South Carolina they robbed while 1 they pretended to rule; they plund-j ered while they professed to protect j ?-.4-ii efofa sn Hisnirited Ulltll U1V I7LUW VWV.U.V ww under the heavy weight of such con- j P ditions that it was known as the "Prostrate State." I When the despondent Southerner ers had tried every plan to get relief fm from this wretched condition came the movement of 1876. The result was almost a revolution, k ? President Lincoln issued a procla? mation that set the negroes free and I they were in power. p The State was under military) y rule. Murders were frequent. The homes of the helpless whites were fired upon in the darkness of night. As it were the ignorant negroes -- - - * ^ J were called from tne cotton ami corn fields to stand at the polls and; vote. They were in the legislature ' ^as a law making power, as judges in j our courts and serving as speakers in the house of representatives. * Every section prospered except the South. Here the negroes, guided by i their white leaders formed an association known as the Loyal League for the purpose of keeping the white race under foot. They committed murder and crimes of every description. But out of choas, peace reigned, j There sorung up the organization j known as the Ku Klux Klan. By j spreading terror among the negroes j they hoped to keep enough of them from the polls on election day to enable the whites to regain control of the State governments. This organ- j ization played an important part to ward reconstructing the South. j Her people were again in power. Good government was again established and lives and property were again made safe. i The people went back to work "to rebuild the sunny South. Recon-, structon gave to the negroes an independent church and a right to education ; it gave to both races the public school system; it showed that free labor was better than slave labor; it destroyed the former leaders of the whites and secured peace and justice for all. The first days of reconstruction ' ' A J XI A ??? M were tne aarKess aaya mat <uc iccorded in history. But the darkest night brings out the brightest stars. It took the darkness of reconstruction to bring the northerners and southerners closer together; it took the sufferings of the war to make the bond between the north and south stronger. Now they are as one. In the world war the northern lads and the southern lads fought side by side. Today many of them sleep side by side beneath the poppies in Flanders fields. So we see fulfilled the prophecy of South Carolina's sweet singer, Timrod. Thus he sang concerning the Southland: * * "But let our fear?if fears we have, be still And turn us to the future, Could climb some mighty Alp And view the coming years, The rapturous light would fill ? i i. ft Unr eyes wun noppy (.^us. Once upon a time men were heard to say: "Go West, young man!" But now America is saying: "Go South, young man, God makes it great and rich/' CALLS ON FARMERS * TO HOUSE COTTON. Less From Exposure Would Build Warehouse.?Some Instances Amounts to 100 Pounds toiV. R.U The State, 4th, r W. G. Smith, State warehouse commissioner, yesterday said farmers of the State have lost enough in weather damage to cotton left iq the open this year to pay for substantial warehouses. The average loss he says in damaged cotton and in depreciation of quality of cotton in many instances will amount to 100 pounds to the bale. Mr. Smith sug A- Al? ?I? --J A# TiMvatiAnso ge sis II1C 31SC ttllU j/C VI nckiwivwuv which may be built. He will be glad to furnish further particulars, if called on, or will be glad to call upon farmers who are interested in warehouse building. During the summer months, when cultivation of crops has been finished, he suggests that the farmers engage in building these warehouses. He advises that community warehouses be constructed where the individual crop does not justify a warehouse or the single crop. His appeal to the farmers fol lows "The farmer has h?.d a fine opportunity this year to learn how much it costs him to leave his cotton out in the weather. Many have lost over 100 pounds per bale. This summer, when he has laid by his crop, he should build himself a warehouse and put it in the State warehouse system. "Farmer, you could build, a warehouse 45 feet by 100 feet by 12 feet metal roof, wood sides and ends, dirt or concrete floor for what you have lost this season by leaving your cotton out in the weather. Such a warehouse would hold 500 bales. If you do not raise 500 bales, go in with your neighbor or build a community warehouse. A warehouse of this kind could be used for storing other things when not being used for storing cotton. "The cotton stored in the State ??^+v,q noat cpflson has saved WttlCIIUUOC W11V the farmers of the State millions of dollars, not only by holding, but by keeping it protected from the weather. The mills and buyers give less for cotton left out in the weather than they do for cotton stored and protected from the weather. * Your cotton may iook u&e h u? nwu damaged, but you open it and see. You want to pay more attention to the staple than you have been. You can raise just as much per acre of one inch and one and one-sixteenth inch staple as you can of three-puar ters of an inch. j "The mills of the State are now consuming 1,000,000 bales and while we raise 1,500,000 they are forced to go out of the State to buy cotton, because they can not get enough of one inch and one-sixteenth inch staple in the State. "When our mills spun yarn numbers 12s to 18s the five-eighths to three-parters of an inch staple was all right. Now we have become more skilled in manufacturing and are spinning finer numbers and better and larger staple is required, j "In 1880 our State had only 82,334 spindes. Today she has 4,914,524 spindles. In 1880 we made tfrtee and one-half yard sheetings ' (that is, three and one-half yards of cloth to the pound of cotton); now we are making 1U yard sneeungs, hence the demand for better staple and better cotton. The moral of all this is: Raise better cotton. Take better care of it. Store it in the State warehouse system and get a better price for it." GOVERNOR COOPER APPOINTS HIS STAFF.
