In doing; J zo he issued a statement which he de- j ! clared that it is "incumbent upon the j j cotton states to take intelligent cog-j , nizance of the situation with refer- j j ence to r?w cotton and see to it that j j the market does not remain glutted throughout another season." In calling upon the South Carolinians to devote their best thought on January A to meeting the situation which at present they find themselves \in, the governor was complying with a request made by the South Carolina Division of the American Cotton association. Similar action has been taken by the governors of the other cotton growing states of the nation. The proclamation issued by the governor follows: <4The South Carolina Division of the American Cotton association has requested that I designate the first Monday in January as 'cotton acreage reduction day* in South Carolina. I gladly comply .with this Tequest. For the time being, the markets of the world are not absorbing raw cotton, and one can not tell how long it will be before the staple will again bring a profitable price to the grower. It is certain that a large supply of cotton will be carried over from the present crop if, 1921 there is added to this carry over another ioWito viold rvrip.A will aerain be '"'bk ?* * J *- - w distressingly low. It is, therefore, as a matter of economic self-preservation, incumbent upon the cotton states to take , intelligent cognizance of the situation with reference to raw cotton and see to it that the market ^ does not remain-glutted-throughout p- another season. k "Our escape from the unhappy ' <* ' 1 -i-T. predicament m wmcn we now iuiu y ourselves lies in the production of ) greater'quantities of food and feed ^ crops. Mere reduction of cotton acreage, by itself, is not a thorough J solution?it is but half of the proccss; necessary to liberate us from the ..one ^ corp bondage. "In the light of the situation as - - ? .? /* i k! suggested above, I proclaim tne nrsti } Monday in January, 1921, as cotton, acreage reduction day for thhr state, j ' j amj I ur^c that'upon that day aHj * I vSouth Carolinians devote their best. j thought to the situation, and resolve '; | to meet it,, and to. prevent a repiicaj i of it. by united intelligent action.

There wiO'W no opportunity to include other arti cles by amendments. 'J ' The bill was denounced in the A house today as "special legislation", by Representative Madden, Republican, Illinois, who declared that its 1 ' "unwisdom must be manifest to everybody." The purpose of the measure, Mr. Madden said, was to legislate on a, few articles and' to -j| eliminate from consideration many other article sin hands ol thousands of dealers. The only other reference to it on the floor was by Representative Longworth, Republican, Ohio, who said it w&s needed to saye important agricultural -interests "from stark and ' Wide difference'of opinio^!*dcveloped amoKg Southern, tentative DommWKi iKjmocrat, aauw Carolina, are flatly opposed to the bill in its present stag& pail^ conferences are being held in an effort to reach an agreement as to actiorv. upon that section trhich places a tariff of seven cents ? pound Oil fong staple cotton. While some members are of the opinion thaf the bill would ' ; prpbably give temporary relief for Ions staple cotton producers, they fear a Republican 4<tflck" to put the mon record as favoring a high tariff.
