COTTON CONGRESS COMMITTEE,
DRAFTS PROGRAME.
Features Are Warehouse System, Degfs
ferred Taxes, Bonding ot Asy
lum, Acreage Reduction.
A programme of legislation for consideration
by the special session of the
general assembly to relieve the slfuation
in South Carolina was proposed
in an Interview here yesterday by W.
F. Stevenson of the Cheraw bar, who
a member of the house from C!?esterfield
county. Mr. Stevenson left
' yesterday afternoon for Austin.
wnorc he win make an argument before
the general assembly of Texas In
favor of reduction of cotton acreage
In 1915.
The prograine proposed is as follows
:
Estublisjment of a State wnrohouspf
system to store cotton.
Postponement of the collection of
* ; -- taxes. State and county for 1914.
The issuance of $1,500, 000 in bonds
on the asylum property to place the
State on a cash basis to provide for
the running expenses of the State
while the taxes remain unpaid and to
complete a new asylum at State Park.
Reduction of the cotton acreage in
1915. ~
The opinion was expressed by Mr.
Stevenson that the reduction of cotton
acreage should be gone about in a direct
manner. For this reason a law to
require the farmers to reduce the
j acregc will be introduced. He was
of the opinion that it might be well to
pass such a measure regardless of the
action of other cotton producing
States. "Such a law," he said, "would
cause diversification of crops."
Opposes Licensing Scheme
"The only other feasible way," said
Mr. Stevenson, discussing the reduction
of acreage law. "is that suggested
;\ t_ by an occupation tax. My view Is that
the farmer is hearing his just porton
l of the taxes now and once wc lead an
^ occupation tax on him it wilt be hard
tO set U entlrelv iff nnri thai io
B ' mlttedly only endeavoring indirectly
to do what this will do directly and
end ere more likely to suBtein a direct
open efforts to accomplish this purpose
than an Indirect one which is accom"
pllshed by a burden of taxation. The
series of measures, outside of the
warehouse bill, are the result of my
mature personal consideration of the
tfltuatiofn Innd wfctfle not perfect. 1
think can be perfected so as to result
In vast benefit to South Carolina. The
warehouse hill was prepared by John
L. McLaurin, but we agreed throughly
on the whole series as to the nearest
solution of our troubles. We need
qtiick action and in the language of
the Holy Writ, 'The Kind's business
iequlres haste.,,
One of the measures prepared hv
Mr. Stevenson is intended to place the
State of South Caolina on a cash
basis. It is proposed to issue bonds
,-J to the extent of $1,000,000 on the
property of the State Hospital for the
Insane. This step will have to he voted
cn in the general election to he held
I.". ?- jgoveiniber 3 if favorable action is
taken by the general assembly, which
4 has been called by the governor to
meet in Columbia October 6. Of this
?. ... bond issue $500,000 will he used to
place the State government on a cash
bnsis. The remaining $1,000,000 will
be turned Into the State treasury.
J** - Part of this fund, or about $250,000.
t V will he used to reimburse the State for
the fund expended in the development
of State Park. Part of the fund
r would be used to erect new buildings
) for'the patients of the State hospital.
yJL?Discussing the flnances of the coun
tlos, Mr. Stevenson said that action
* on this would have to be taken when
the need of the counties were made
known at the extra session. The need
of the counties, he said, would not be
urgent and the matter might be carried
over to the regular session In
January.
k * To Defer Collection.
[ Following is the joint resolution for
' the postponement of the paymnt of
ss taxes:
. Be enacted by the general assc
nbly of the State of South Carolina:
j "Section 1. That State and county
W---'. taves of 1914 may be paid up to and
i including the 15th of May, 1915, withI
out any penalty being imposed, and
may be paid after May 15, 1915. and
I up to and including October 15, 1915,
I with a penalty of 20 per cent, added.
V an 1 thereafter execution shall issue
fm. o.w.K ..~ ~?i -1

"Sec. 2. TliatJ nny taxpayer hf
South Carolina -Who does not pay his
taxes b> lue 15th of May, 1915, may
procure tho abatement of the penalties
by filing w'th the county auditor his
* affidavit that he has planted no cotton
during the year 1915, or if he has
\ planted any he has not planted more
j than 50 per cent of the amount
V; ' .. planted by him in 1914,
I "Sec. 3. It shall bo perjury for any
,j , ; ore to make false affidavit to proci
re auch abatement."
W. F. StevnBon and John L. McLaurin
were appointed as a committee
from the Southern Cotton congress to
prepare a program? for legislation to
relive the situation in .South Carolina
The committee has made the folI
lowing report:
^ "Wo submit this bill as the basis for
M a State system of finance and storage

Value of Trees.
Since the formation of rocks le ex

priceless value. According to Prof. J
Bowman, many glacial scratches tha
were made on rock during the lust gla
clal period, between 60,000 and 75,001
years ago^are still as fresh as if the:
had been made only yesterday. Yet
since the glaciers thus recorded then]
selves, man has come up from thi
cave and the Btone-hammer. Scvent;
thousand years Is a very short tim<
tor the development of a soil cover
for man it meat s a period so grea
that the' mind can hardly grasp i'
The cutting off .of the trees expose
the soil so that the rain beats upoi
it, and since it ntu lost the protcctloi
that the roots and litter on the grourr
afforded, the soil Is soon washed awaj
