()MaN?ntt on Cotton Situation Inj
Farmery j?u<r DuiloeiM Ml
At the njquffit <4 Uoyernor C*
asking ? meetluj of the farmer*
Int'M tneu in Columbia yesterday, |
X Onion hgrf the following oomoi
the cotton situation :
With a large p^rt ?f the apitftles of |
the wo ili I .Standing idle, a vast njajority
of tli. in working on stuyt time, it ^ab
solutely emtential that the produtBl^p of
<>>tton bo fully reduced in proportion to
tho spindles standing Idla In ordftr that
a fair prfcv. to the producer ofrt'otton
can he had/for /he residue "
crop, and juojre especially fpr
of if tu.
For forty yearn the product of j
ern farms has maintained tho b*\
trade for the Uulted Btatee, and f<
yearn ?fee cotton crop haa been
N*ftatdlesa of-th* cost of pnoductioj
the first' thne In forty years, due^cnti re
ly to four short crop* of cotton mi) not
on account of tho war| the bank^of the
South and the cotton farmer , are in a
iK>?ition -to determine what the price of
ocKtoh'. shall be if we elect to tal ie such
measures an are necessary to briug it
about. While world conditions are dis
turbed an at ltresent It U necessary that
no overproduction of cottou be allowed
if we propose to maintain a living wage
scale for cotton producer**. TliK wage
wale obtaining throughout the cotton pro
duefng districts haa been heretofore the
lowest in existence in the United Statea,
being only equalled by Chinese "coolie"
labor. On account of war conditions the
price of labor has advanced and in order
tli'ut this advance be maintained aud the
South secure their due proportion of the
prosperity of tho n?tion, lt'la fieccessary!
that our cottou crop should bring at leant
.15 cents per pound.
We cannot expect good road*, good
churches and school houues aud an cd- 1
ucated people on the wage scale that has!
formerly existed throughout the cotton,
belt, therefore, let all public spirited jnen [
from every walk or life make it their1,
business to advanco in every way j*>Ksi- !
I?le flic plans being .outlined ih this and |
other statea to redu<*e production of cot- [
tou in 11)10 at least one-third.
The meeting called in Columbia on t-lie |
1.1th is to devise ways and means to this j
end. Let every county in the state be ,
fully represented at this meetii)*,' that;
they uniy present their locul condition* (
and help in an intelligible solution of
the situation.

"Umbrella Regulation*" Will
Live in History.
With the passing of each rainy day i
It becomes Increasingly strange that i
no benefactor of the race has been '
prodded, gouged or spattered into pre- \
paring a "Manual of Umbrellas/' Peo
ple have been carrying some sort of
protection against the rain ever since
anybody can remember, yet the only
thing they havo really learned to do
well Is to lose umbrellas. No two
persons, not even lovers, can walk un- j
der one umbrella without getting wet, j
and raincoats probably were first de- i
vised by a man who tried to carry an i
umbrella over his wife's hat. What j
excuse is there for the person who
goe>? through a crowded street holding j
an umbrella before him in a charge- j
bayonets fashion? An apology does
not exactly meet the requirements
after the tip of an umbrella rib has
been thrust Into - some one's eye.
Folded, the umbrella Is just as dan
gerouH, when some one comes plung
ing along the sidewalk holding the
umbrella at nn angle of about 45 de- i
gree? ahead of him, tripping every j
one but himself. Then there Is the !
person who tucks the handle under i
the arm, so that an innocent person
may become speared on the sharp end
which sticks out like a 60-foot tele
phone pole on a 15-foot truck. Fur
thermore, wet umbrellas never were
Intended as partitions between sea?s,
even at a motion-picture theater.
There is no desire to distract the beat
brains of the country from consider
ation of war problems, but some sort
of umbrella regulations are needed.
