\ Our good friend Grist of The Yorkville
Enquirer gives us credit for a
most interesting little story on the
" "' garter snake." Reference to the orig.
inal copy shows that credit should
limve been given to The New York
11? *v _ * M
<ouu. me create line navtng been inadvertently
left off when the story was
.feeing put into type.
The Seaboard Air Line, so we are
'lold by The Robesonlan of Lumbermen.
ran an excursion to Wilmington.
Seduced rates were given. "Between
'"Wl and 500 people," says The Rob-4sonlan,
"boarded the train at Lumfeerton.
The local agent sold 300 tickall
he had, and had calls for more
tthan a hundred more. Around 1000
'people were on the train when it
-passed Lumberton and the train was
<dne to stop at Bladenboro. The ten
can were crowded, standing room being
at a premium." A train passed
"Dillon a few nights ago with only
-one passenger. He wa8 a large, fat,
'black, bald-headed bishop, probably
oc his way to some negro conference.
"This may not happen often, but time
-and again for the past few months It
has not been unusual to see trains alrmosl
empty passing through Dillon.j
' Th? reason is not hnr^ fins a I
' day Journey costs four cents and
-a. night journey five cents a milePeople
cannot afford to travel." The
3eaboard offered reduced rates to
Wilmington and left people standing
at the stations. The solution of the
problem is in the hands of the railroads.
Surely they cannot fail to see
it. But isn't it possible that so long
as the government is willing to hand
fout to the railroads the people's monin
lumps of a half billion dollars
;<he railroads will remain blind to the
situation? Of course they will. Human
nature is the same everywhere, and
'
when the railroads began to hold out,
jheir hats they showed they werej
human. 1
A PfiAN TO CORNER THE COTTON'!!
CROP.
I ' - l|
A Williamsburg county farmer, I
writing to The State newspaper, sug-'
s lpffiolollira- Af I
o .^o.o.wiu.vs ? IT |
.several cotton growing states levy a j
out of 20 cents a pound on cotton.^
The idea is to reduce acreage and run I
the price of cotton up to new high I
levels.
We do uot endorse the plan, but it '
is so full of interesting suggestions |
that we cannot resist the temptation
to comment on its possibilities. I'
Before such a law could b0 put on'
V v.he statute books the constitution of |
many if not all the cotton growing,
states would have to be changed, but J
for the sake of argument let that
"Objection be waivedThe
first year a normal crop would
"De made. The consumer would refuse
to Pa>r tax cost plus the pro-J
hucer's profit and the state v?,j'id
take the cotton for tav/es.
The second year/the acreage would
be considerab-^ ?ed an<t the price
would gj to ui^.ieamed of figures.
The state would unload its previous
year's crop at a big profit.
The third year the acreage would
he increased, and once more the price
would fall below the 20 cents level
ain<j once more the state would have
to take over the cotton for the taxes.
But what would become of the
enormous amount of money the state
.
would receive rrom this source of interne?
It would go into schools, pub"ftr
buildings and roads. In a few
years the south would have the best
colleges in the United States. Every
.state and county would have public
buildings of such magnificence that
the slogan, "See the 1 south first,"
would be a familiar phrase in every
language.
The entlre cotton belt would be a
net work of concrete roads and every
rndh of highway in town, village,
hamlet and city would be paved.
"But what would the man who
raises cotton do for a living?" you
^ ask. How could he live when he vrouid
be paying into the state and county
treasuries nearly every dollar be
made on his farm?
The answer is simple: He would
plant about four acres of cotton to
the plow, work it on the intensive
plan, make two or more bales to the
-mare and put the balance of his land
m corn, oats, peas, potatoes and other
'foodstuffs.
The building of concrete highways,
schools, colleges and other public
buildings would require a big army of
skilled and unskilled workmen. The
aouth would draw heavily on the
labor of the north and weet. Those
?M9ls would have to b* fed and the
.

farmer would find a ready market
right at home for all the food he
could raise.
In the meantime the south would
be making the world pay in the form
of a high tax an enormous price
for every pound of cotton it raised.
It would draw heavily on the public
and private treasuries of the world.
In a few years it would be the
richest country in the world.
But now that is a dream. The Williamsburg
farmer's plan has all these
possibilities. It is within the power of
the law-making bodies of the several
states, with the help of the people, to
bring all these things to pass, but it
will not be done- It must come
ithrough another channel?the people
themselves.
The south can achieve in a perfectly
legitimate way the same results
by reducing its cotton acreage, farm
lng on the intens!,rA plan and raising
an abundance of food-stuffs. It may
take a little longer to build our magnificent
schools, colleges,churches and
ccncrete highways, but It can be done
If the south will make up its mind

to plant a limited amount of cotton
and live at home.
And while the Williamsburg farmer's
plan is not feasible,yet we must
J aJmit the results he would obtain
are desirable. But these results
must be obtained in the same manner
all results of a permanent and helpful
nature are obtained?through the
efforts of the people themselves.
