TENANT DESTITUTE , ASKS FOR ADVICE Saluda Attorney Receives Moving Letter From Man in Deplorable 4 Condition Saluda Standard. The fallowing letter received Fri day by B. W. Crouch, Esq., is one of the most touching imaginable. It is printed just as written with all names omitted and it is hoped that the publication of it may constrain other land lords from employing the policy revealed in this particular instance. i I The writer of the letter is a white man, has a widowed mother and a sister in bad health. The letter: j Mr. B.Crouch, Dear Sir: I worked a sare croD with Mr. . The bole weavils almost eat up my cotton. I made one light bale. I furnished the horse and la"bor and fed her; he was to furnish the fertilizer. I have not had a thing to eat since July except what I make working out when I could get work and on this'I have gathered the crop. I sold the cotton and give him \ every cent it brought and every cent: of the seed. It brought?my part of 1 + QV?>4 f.-iAs3 t A A and I owed him $45 or $50. fie has not a scratch of a pen on : my crop. Can he take my part of corn on what I owe? I worked bard and my sister* worked sick and we have not got no clothes but rags. We ' are obliged to have bread and the horse is arlmost pershing. He d^n't want me to feed one ear of corn or handle of fodder. I cant be allowed to carry a little to mill for bre?*d. I am a poor boy and want to p'ay my debts but cant.

HUGHES' PROPOSAL GRIPS THE WORLD V , \ While half the world was still wony? ? rm A%* nVt /va A^ITC O C f h A vici.ixi? wucuici ouiu iicwo ao cuc \ Hughes programme could be true,! wondering whether anything in inter- j national relations nowadays could be i so sudden, simple and unselfish. Great i Britain reache-d out to grasp at once | this great opportunity. The an- j nouncement that Mr. Balfour will i "accept in principle" should end any do$bjt that may linger in the mind of a WoTld winch "has been fooled by mir- K agfes so often in the last three years. | Ancf, with Great Britain accepting our ! solution of the armament problem, i there should be no hesitation on the, part of those nations which, in em-: bracing the proposal of the United! States, will give up comparatively! littte Sncf'gain comparatively much, j -When we speak of it as a proposal j <vf the United States we mean that j while it came from the mind and the: lips of Secretary Hughes as the i spdkesman of President Harding'sAdministration, it comes from the j "hefltt <vf this counirv. If there were I an election today upon the question of ratifying the Hughes programme the Opposition would not carry a -single 6tate; probably not a single coun* ty. Fof America, while itself startled for a moment at the splendid audacity of the programme, immediately real ized th&t the Secretary of State had with one bold stroke crystallized what \ had been in the Americanymind and ! heart. Not since the world heard, three ( years ago, that the day and hour of the armistice had been fixed has ^ ther6 been such a sweep of joy. "The optimism in Washington," said a witty diplomat on Sunday, "is terrifying." He couM have found that same optimism in every corner of Ameri ca. He will find it too in every continent of the world when the people of that continent realize that the challenge of the United States must; be taken up by the other powers. Why should not the world be optimistic when it sees America, through Mr. Hughes, accomplishing more in half an hour toward the elimination of bloodshed than has ever been accomplished in all the droning hours of the Hague Tribunal or the League of Nations. With the magnanimity which pro tCCUJ VlllJ 11UU1 KUV ...... | has offered to sacrifice far more in the interest of world peace and economy than it asks the other great soa powers to relinquish. With none o the preliminaries of barter, none o | the waiting- for offers and counte proposals, we have laid on the tabl | a magnificent bid for peace. It is ? ; bid so high that none, we think, wil jask for more; but it is not a bid si ! high that our own people will be ' J.1 l gruage paying 11, ior iney miuw hm its acceptance will mean. i England's acceptance in principle was to be expected.

But they must welcome a programme which would instantly reduce the cost of nationa' defense without reducing their chances in the event of war. And when America says to England, "For every five thousand'tons of ships you scrap we will scrap eight thousand tons'1 there can be no doubt about Briton's answer. The feelings of Continental Europe, once it comes to realize that tie American offer means exactly what it says, may be imagined. Here is the richest of all countries?the nation which can afford, better than any other, to build dreadnoughts by the dozen?^making an offer which is of much greater relative economic advantage to the other powers than it is'to herself.
