I think I can with pro prh;ty now stale publicly my attitude and the reasons therefor. I have felt a strong pressure to line the press and In my speeches to Join the agitation against the action of England in reference to her order in couucll of March II, hut I reeognlijld the fact that the Democratic Admin istration wan charged with all of the re*[K>nslbtllty attaching to the circum stances. I did' Hot think it Wise to hunt my NiipjMU t to what seemed to he a harsh and damaging criticism of the Admin istration; for the public at largo to clamor for a tliliiK to he done hy their officials, the function of whose olllce Is to do thin thing, 1* tantamount to saying that there Is a dereliction upon the part of those so charged. I believed that President Wilson and his Cabinet were doing all In their power to discharge the duties imposed upon them for the best interest \>t the Amor* lean people. I thought, however, It was my duty to write to theju, signifying my appre ciation of the gravo responsibility that was upon them, and to call their af tentlou to the gravity of the cotton situation growing out of the order in council of England of March 11. I did not hesitate, under other circum stances, to use both press and plat form In the agitation for better prices ami better marketing facilities for Cot ton. Under those circumstances wo were dealing with a condition where public sentiment pro|H?rly directed might ultimately force the proper leg islation.' The problems then imposed the responsibility of their solution upon' the public, and the public had a right to express its sentiments, looking to proper legislation,, through Its repre sentatives In a word, the situation A WONDERFUL NEW SSSCTIW The Treasurehouse and Won derland of Eastern America. A wonderful Itailroad through a won derful country! Such is the exclama tion of suy>rise and delight with which visitors view tho beauty and grandeur of the Appalachian Wonderland from trains of the Carolina, Clinchfleld ?fc Ohio Iiailway.

These are but a few of tho superlatives with which naturo has en dowed this hitherto inaccessible region whose beauties and treasures are now unlocked by modern transportation fa cilities.

There was also it graver qucMtlon, perhaps, growing out of the attitude of GeriuuujMn her submarine warfare, Unit was in progress ?>f dual deteruil i in t ion. lJ|K>n the projier settlement of 1 1 1 1 h question, In my opinion, dciiended largely Hie satisfactory settlement of the cotton question with England. I felt tliHt tin* efforts of the Admin Ititro t Ion to maintain Jieuce were com mendable and Hhould receive the sup |H?rt of every American to maintain jM'are. of course, with national self-re h|m>< ( and without Ioxh of any national rights, without the Iohh of any of our commercial rights, or the personal rights of any of our citizens going to ii nil fro ahroad. While the Administration was grap pling with thin grave situation, I re frained from giving utterance to any vh *ws or opinloiiH that might add in the slightest decree to the dlfflcultleK that already beset the Administration. Hut now, that the question with (Jer many has been brought to this last stage, I' think it proper that certain communicatlonH that I have had with the President and with the Secretary of State would he known in substance. On the 14th of July, I wrote Secretary of State Lansing as follows: "1 Miring the last session of Congress, a Committee was appointed to investi gate the matter of export cotton. "The altitude of certain Powers now engaged In war Is to close neutral i?orts and seize certain ships having Amer ican cotton destined for other coun tries than the one making the seizure. The new crop of cotton is now about to be placed upon the market. It Is absolutely essential that the growers and shippers of this all Important ar ticle. shodld know as accurate as may be, what Is to be England's attitude In reference to cotton shipped through neutral ports and on certain classes of vessels. The embarrassment last year, caused by her attitude, was large ly responsible for the failure of cotton to go higher than It did. "I desire to urge upon you, as you are thoroughly acquainted with all of the facts, to take such immediate ac tion us will give relief from the pres ? eiit Intolerable condition. I lx?g you to use every effort freely through all neu tral ports and through all jKirts that International law permits.". f Puder date of July '20, the Secretary of State, in reply to my letter, said : "1 have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your letter dated July 14, 1915. In regard to the difficulties being experienced in making shipments of cotton to Europe at this time. "There are enclosed copies of the Itrltlsh order in council of March the 11th IP 15, and the department's reply thereto. The Itrltlsh order In council Is still the subject of diplomatic dis cussion between this Government and the Government. of Great Britain.' "The department keenly appreciates the difficulties surrounding the expor ta t Ion of cotton from this country and is endeavoring to do all that It proper ty can to relieve the situation. "While It Is not possible to outline Mio exact methods to be pursued by the department. you may rest assured that , troim representations looking toward the protection of the Interests of this important commodity and those con nected with it arc being and will be made. Farther than this assurance, the department would not care to Indl6 rate the method at this time. "Ueall/.ing tiie limitations of the market for cotton arising from the war situation, the department has from time to time called for reports of the market for cotton foreign countries from its consular officers stationed abroad with a view to - indicate any possible openings for cotton that ml^lit relieve the situation due to the de creased ex port at ions to Europe." (Mi July the 14th 1 also addressed the following letter to President Wilson: "My Dear Mr. President: I fully ajv preciate the crisis that is now uj?on v<m as the head of the nation and the .nave responsibility that rests upon *?>u. I. therefore, hesitate even in the ?>'. i-'htest degree to add to your bur den. and if the matter was not of such v it m I importance to the South ami the nation at larce, 1 would not do it. "1 call your attention to the atti tude (.f England in the matter of cot ton c\|xirts. it is now practically the hegiuninu of harvest time. The new i-vop will s?x?n be coming to market. It is, therefore, very essential that we have a clear understanding as to Eng land's attitude in reference to closing neutral port* and her famous order in council of March last.

"My J>ear Senator: I have your let ter of July J I and would HHy in reply t hat I hojK* you will never Ijealfate to write luo about anything that you think Important, no matter how Imsy or preoccupied I may he. "And 1 want to tell you that, though we have said very little about It 111 public, nothing 1mh l>een omitted to bring the inatterH you write about very completely and In their right light to the attention of the Government of (ireat Britain, and nothing will be omitted that can be done. Cordially and sincerely youra, ( Signed) "VVoodrow Wilson" Of course, I was greatly gratified to he conilrmed in uiy belief that our Democratic Administration was taking care of the situation. It is reassuring trTli^ve this statement from head quarters, It is also gratifying to me to hoc the utterances in the press from the Fed jeral reserve hoard In reference to the financing of the cotton crop. There [was some disappointment In the op<ra tlons of the new hanking and currency law last fall. I took occasion to speak j to those charged with its administra tion about that disappointment. I was l very frankly informed that the prime reason for this disappointment was he-' ! cause they were not prepared to put so enormous and radical a movement into i - , ;? practical operation in so short a time. It was a stupendous thing to change so radically from the old order to the new. Now, however, the intervening time has given opportunity to the of. flcials to familiarize themselves with the working of the new system, and It is gratifying to hear that it is pro posed to use it in relieving the very conditions for which It was created. It Is especially gratifying to me that the particular section of the law that I makes It possible for the officials to relieve the cotton situation was writ ten by myself : or at least, that part of the section that refers to the length of time that a loan can be -'.Obtained on farm products as collateral. This is the section of the AetfHhat makes it possible for the Federal reserve board to take the action contemplated in their public utterances. So, summing up the situation, the outlook is more cheerful, vastly more hopeful, than a year ago. The atti tude of the President and the Secretary of State In regard to our rights as neu trals, and the attitude of our Fedbral reserve board in reference to financing the cotton crop, is certainly reassuring. I have done, and am doing, all in my power to aid the cotton producers to realize a just price for cotton. I have tried to do It wisely and dis creetly, and if so, effectually.

Kershaw Era. Kembert News Notes. ltembert, Aug. 11th.? Fino Fains have fallen In this section which have great ly heli>e(l the crops. Old corn and cotton are injured by the extreme heat, so there will not be a full crop of either made. Fodder pulling will soon commence whether It nurts the corn or not. There is not enough rough feed without it. Possibly enough will l>e made in the near future so it can stay on the stalk. As fall approaches trade is reviving some. Some of the merchants liere dre laying in fall stocks. A good deal of wheat has been rais ed through here, and is being ground. We need more threshers and mills if the planting continues on. One acre of good wheat will supply a small family and oats are the cheapest feed raised. As soon as cotton gets off the brain, agriculture will come to the front to stay. ( News is scarce through here. Most of people have no money to"trayel on, so there is not much along that line. \Ve hear of no marriages in the near future. If people would contract to start lift' as their grandpa rents did ? start at the foot and work up, and not ait the top and no down it would he greatly to their benefit.

"SOW OATS AND WHEAT* WILL AGAIN BE ADVICE Clemson's Extension Forces To Urge Sowing of Winter Grain Again. i'leni^on College, Aug. 10. -"How outs uikI wheat" will once more be the ad vice urged upon the farmer* of South (Carolina for their fall practise. On the theory tluit general conditions this fall will la? very similar to those of last fall, CKiwdally insofar an need for economizing, and for diversification Is concerned, the extension forces of (fleiuson (College will devoid themselves, as last year, Jio urging the sowing of he winter grain cro{M. The Hxtenslon Division Is Issuing two (Mjsters which will he distributed about the state. One poster gives ad vice for the seeding of oats and wheat. The other urges farmers to take "The Stolid Step Livestock." These post ers will he placed conspicuously. This will be the first act of the full ciiiii palgu, Clemsoii College . urges farmers to now large areas to oats this fall. To this advice is added the warning that farmers should get their oats In the ground early and not wall nntll late, as so many did last year. The seed ing of oats should begin about the end of September, Farmers are advised to bow enough wheat for home consumption. The state has every reason to feel .satisfied with the wheat experiment of last fall. Today there are probably more flour mills in. South Carolina than ever be fore and the railroad* have granted very favorable shipping rates. South Carolina is now lit a position to raise enough wWat for her own bread and this is what should l>e done. The college will also urge upon far mers the Importance of giving close at tention to fall and winter gardens and to poultry. These things are money savers that are "i>ossible to every far mer. Although conditions are enough like. tliose of last year to warrant, advising the same farm practise, the general ag ricultural situation Is expected to be far brighter this fall and it is not :^v that there will be anything like the demorlllzatlou and discouragement of 1014. Economy lias been the watch word oit South Carolina farms this year and farmers will benefit accord ingly. ' Long1 Trip For Lad. Patrick, Aug. 7. ?
