BUY A BALE MOVEMENT
FAVORED BY SOUTHERN.
President Harrison Has Bought
Bale in Each of Cotton
Producing States.
Wa*hiUgtOU, J). C? Xilpt . JJO.-rr The
1 1 1 it i j ii *) ? > ? -i i ( of Southern Kallwav Co.
Is actively t?nc()vinigiti? the "Buy h Hah'
of Cotton Movement" throughout the
South. President Harrison has bought
a halo in each cotton producing state
traversal by Southern railway lines
and hits ncitli r.M'd 1 1 1?> following letter
to the principal officers of Southern
Hallway ami allied lines, suggesting
that they join the movement:
"I commend to your jH>rsonal consid
eration tin* Huy a ; Hale Cotton move
meut now active throughout the South.
While this is a movement' of sentiment,
it Is wholesome sentiment as express*
ing u determination of the Southern
people to help themselves In a time of
emergency, rather than de|>cud on help
from outside or from the government,
Federal or State. If this movement
results In marketing 500,000 ha|es at
10. cents a pound, us is believed to be
possible, It will have a profound ef
fect in encouraging the small farmers
and those who give them credit to hold
for a stable price,
"All of> us derive our livelihood and
thyt of our families in Some measure
from cotton, and so, apart from any
interest of the Company, every one of,
us has a personal interest lit the cotton
market.
"I have myself bought a hale of cot
ton in each of the cotton producing
States. If you feel that you can af
ford It, I reccommehd that you huy at
least one hale for personal account
and Induce as many as possible of your
friends to do likewise. It will be a
safe Investment of the money and a pa
triotic act in a vital emergency."
Speaking of the cotton situation to
day, I*resldent Harrison said:
"There an*, in my opinion, good rea
sons for believing that the market for
cotton will Improve. While there has
been a temporary letting up In manu
facturing, I think that, so far as this
has affected mills In the United States
and England and possibly those of
France, it 1ms been due, In large meas
ure, to the1 disturbed financial situa
tion and to some extent to the difficul
ty In getting dye stuffs. I am encour
aged to believe that as soon as the tl
unnchtl difficulties have been straight
ened out. there will Iw an increased de
mand not only from the mills in the
United States, but, also, from those In
all parts of Europe In which the war
has not shut off access to the sea. Al
ready there are reports of Increasing
shipments of cotton both to Engladd
and to the Continents and it should
be borne In mind tlyit the war itself
will give rise to an Increasing demand
for certain lines of cotton goods. There
has been evidence of this already In
orders for cotton duck for army uses
and enquiries for large supplies of cot
ton underwear for the armies.
"The 'Buy a Bale of Cotton Move
ment' will help materially to bring
about better conditions. It will en
courage farmers to hold for l?etter
prices and will tend to take off of the
market cotton that must be sold. Ev
ery one who participates in this move
ment is i>erforralng a patriotic act In a
vital emergency which will be of great
value to the entire South."

LACK OF LABOR CAUSING
LOSS ON STATK FARMS.
Only About 1,000 Acres of the
2,500 Acres Were Cultivat
ed ThU Year.
The la?-k of sufficient convict lalior
ou ilu* Htate farms In Sumter Mini Ker
shaw counties Is delaying the?gather
lliK of tile cotton, grain aild forage
crops and some loss to the state from
this source will result. It l>?-? am?' known i
from .authoritative sources yesterday.
The lark of convict labor rally 111 ( lit* 4
yeur prevented the cultivation ??f ullght
ly less than half the acreage of the
farms, and of the numlK'r of convicts
working therr, a large |kt rentage of
tlirin air almost physical wrerks, ^ It I
was told.
The iHMil^yitlary authorities claim
ed that they realized this spring the
necessity of reducing cotton acreage
and only ahout 250 a errs was planted I
in this crop. The greater part of the
land cultivated was planted in wheat,
corn and oats. Kv.ery effort is now
being made to gather the grain crops
before they are ruined by the weather.
Katun this week prevented the convicts
picking the cotton, and the crop was
damaged somewhat, it was reported.
With a good number of thee onvlets
preparing the -land for winter grain
crops, the penitentiary authorities ex
|K?ct tob> egln planting a large grain
crop about October lf?. Necessity of I
working these laborers at the plow is
making noticeable the lack of harvest
ers. ' i
? Ojjly about 1,000 acres of the 2,500
acres of the state farms were cultlvat- ?
ed this year, and the remaining laud 11
allowed to grow up in grass, some of I
which will be gathered as a hay crop. I
The authorities told yesterday that at I
least 40 additional laborers could lie II
used to a good advantage on the farms. I
Though only enough cotton was II
planted to pay the fertilizer bills when J
sold, the authorities seemed inclined I
to believe that proceeds from the sale '
of part of the grain crops would be re- I
quired to pay for the fertilizers. A II
few bales of last year's cotton Is now I
held in storage by the penitentiary of- I
flHnittt L ? ? ? r II
Some hesitancy in planting .large I
grain crops for whiter harvesting is I
felt by the isinltentlary authorities who I
recognize the jiosslblllty of the number I
of laborers being materially reduced 11
before the January harvesting time. I
No additional convicts are being re- I
celved now at the state farms and few 1 1
able bodied men are being sent to the I
penitentiary by the counties. Under I
the provisions of the law enacted at I
tile last session of the general assembly .
the various county supervisor#* ure al
lowed to work the convicts on the pub
lic works.
The state farms have been oi?erated
with a considerable profit to the state
under the administration of Superin
tendent Griffith, and despite the ad
verse crop and financial-, conditions this
fall, the authorities exi?ect that somel
profit will be realized from the crops |
now being gathered.
Sufficient grain will 1h> harvested to
meet the requirements of the state and
a considerable numl?er of bushels of
wheat and pats will lie sold as seed.
Requests for seed wheat and oats areii
being received each day by the super- [
intendent of the penitentiary and sales
of a considerable number of bushels
have l>een contracted for.
Though the officials state they real- 1
Ize the possibility of l>elug forced to
hire labor to harvest the fall crops,
every effort will he made to evade such
action. Since Superintendent Griffith
assumed control of the i>enltentlary
about 1 IKK), no free labor has been em
ployed. In the event of a shortage of
convict labor next spring when the har
vest time- for grain crops arrives, the
officials are now contemplating bar- 1
vesting the crops on shares bv free la- J

In every regard the financial condl- J
tlon of the farms Is excellent, It was re
ported.-^- Sunday's Columbia Record.
