The following article ig taken from the State: "Concerning an interview appearing from J. Skottowe Wanamaker, chairman of the South Carolina Cotton Association, 1 have been a farmer all of | my life and have been a cotton buyer i for many years past. I am now acM lively engaged in buying eotton and farming. The loss to the cotton farmer and the entire cotton belt on account of manipulation of the market is stupendous. The cotton market several days during the latter part of 1918 was so violently manipulated that it was practically impossible to buy cotton. We, of course, are always compelled to buy at what th< New York exchange bets that the price is. During the same day they often bet it is worth 2 cents less than they bet it was worth a few hours CAi * IV* I have just been furnished with th? following grade differences by one ol the leading firms in the South, and instructed to be guided by same: E.?Strict good middling, % up X.?Good middling, % up. A.?Strict middling, basis. F.?Middling, one cent down. I.?^Strict low middling, 4 cents down. N.?Low middling, 9 cents down. P.?Strict good ordinary, 12 cents down. O.?Good middling tinge, one cent down. Y.?Strict middling tinges, four cents down. S.?Middling tinges, 6 cents down. V K.?Strict low middling, tinges 9 cents down. ,/ U.?Low middling tinges, 12 cent down. " * ?i J -an? At?.0;n0 10 U.?Binci niiauimg ouomo, cents down. G.?Middling strains, 15 cent* down. D.?Low middling strains, 18 cents | down. Q.?Deep rough strains, 20 cen* down. Since January 1 the South hsr been robbed ef $100,000,000 in t*>r matters of grades alone. Two yenr ago the difference in the valu* <%r n strict low middling and middling wup from 25 to 50 points, low middling 75 to 100 points, strict good ordinary 150 to 175. Now when you sell a lot or cotton the value is 200 off on i strict low, 600 on low middling and 800 t0 1,000 on strict good ordinary. ; Why is this? The manufacturer is making the same goods he always made, the price of all classes of goods ! are sky high -and the farmer takes, the loss as usual. Are not the ex- ; changes to blame for this? Is there ' no way that redress may be hadji from these gamblers. It looks to a i man up a tree, like the only thing |i ror tne rarmers 10 uu is iu awy ing cofton until the spinners are wtl- ] ling to give him his share of the i profits. 1 If cotton bought at 35 cents per I pound, basis middling last fall, and if cotton bought since that time on < grade differences referred to above, J does not bring to the manufacturer 1 [fabulous health, why i3 it that he is13 paying the enormous income tax that i < he is? The manufacturers are paying 1 an incotne tax unheard of iD any oth- i er line of business. One factory alone ] in South Carolina, with a capital around $400,000, made a net profit ! of $800,000. The earnings of the | great factories at Fall River and else-! where are so fabulous that it has J. startied the entire business world' and makes the farmers more determined in his desperate struggle to < obtain remunerative prices for his cot- 1 ton by curtailing his acreage and hold 1 ing cotton he now has on hand. ( If the factories of the North, and ' even war-ridden England, and . the ' South, would publish a sworn statement showing their earnings for the ' year 1918 alone, even the farmer. Who has never done anything but make cotton and is not posted or business, would realize mat ne suuuiq have received a far higher price for his cotton; Their attempt to deny to the farmer the right to reduce their cotton acreage brings to - my mind the truth of tjie old adage: "That if a man has his hand in your pocket, he will resist by all means, fair and foul, any attempt to make him take it out." I believe that if the farmers of the South understand the situation thoroughly they would rise "as one tnan and refuse to plant one acre of cotton until these great wrongs were righted. J. M. Holman.

Liberty Loan now that the war is over?" Revenue from taxes will not be sufficient to pay all the bills, so the people will be called upon to provide the money by subscribing to government bonds. This money is goint to pay off the array of producers at home ?the farmers, merchants, manufacturers and others. America had Just begun to light when the Hun decided it was time to quit. Allied leaders expected the war to last another year and the United States government was turning out ship*, arms, ammunition and food to overwLelm Germany in cue big drive. Treasury officials have revealed that in 1919 America would have had a tank at the front for every seventyfive feet of line. We would have had ten tons of mustard gas ready for shipment for every ton Germany could produce. Thousands of batteries of guns would have been in action foi every one America had in 1918. Everything else was being produced in proportion. This gigantic preparation brought an early end to the war ^nd saved thousands of lives. Victory Liberty Bonds will pay for this work which had been contracted for and was be mg delivered wnen me armisuce waa signed. There are other purposes for which money is need. Part of our urmy of 2.000.000 men must be kept in Europe until the peace treaty is signed. These soldiers must be fed, clothed and otherwise maintained. Then they must be brought home. x The sick and wounded must be cared for in hospitals. The army must l>e demobilized. There are thousands of maimed soldiers, heroes of the great war. who must be taught selfpupporting trades and given an opportunity to. earn their living. This reconstruction work at home 1?
