I road by t ho county chairman was as follows: It is a matter of deep regret that 1 am unable to he with you today. Hut l'.juu seleeted as x>ue of the Delegates from South Carolina to the. Democratic National Convention at S-an Francisco and felt It lo he* Iny~^duly to represent 1115* State in paft-at a convention of na tional Importance^ rather than to fol low my personal desires and be with you at this time. I would have lifted to appear before you In person and talked with you of the various affairs of 'moment to you and the country which have inaugurated and hi which I (have participated. 1 think I would be able to give you a more Intimate grasp of those measures. But uiy stewardship, of the office which you conferred upon me and the record I have made Is known to ail. I have, given you my t>est efforts and I am proud . of tho'fhings I have iHSen able to accomplish. W'hlle I thiiik that I have had an Imrtruiwnla'C part io the passage of mucl^i, useful and remedial legislation 1 feel that In the next ad ministration I <-au accomplish more <liidrithere are many things which muwt be done.

( * I lnivc de voted a principal part of my time to cotton and the Agricultural Interests. I have devoted a large part of my time to these interests and I was right. 1 believed what .the last few .years has demonstrated, that this l>eiiig the prin cipal source of revenue to the South if we could* secure a price anywhere approximating its instriiwdc value it would beoome the sour<?e of the develop ment of other businesses and other re surees. A prosperous business tun not !?e maintained in a sterile a!nd poor conn try. Merchant and tanker, and profes sional man in the South Imve t>een de pendent upon the same sour<*>s for their im*?me. * What few nuniufactufes Ave had were largely the Investment of outside oirpita'l and the profits which accrued therefrom went elsewhere. The profits that have in the last few years been realized have liquidated old debts, have given opportunity for invest inents, .have stimulated everV "business enterprise in the country by home cap ital and will if we can maintain it ul timately mako u? independent of any one source of revenue. I dp not like to trespass upon your time but will briefly give a resume of those measures which I have originated and had passed or have had a pre eminent part In putting through. Re cognising that the foundation of the prosperity of the South depended largely upon the prosperity of the Ag ricultural interests I addressed mySelf to the problem of the agricultural in terests securing proper credit with wbloh to finance their crops.. There were two things which militated against a higher price for cotton. One 'was the lack of propcT credit and the other was the rules/- and regulations established by the cotton exchanges., Under the old banking and currency law of 1803 the supply of currency was absolutely under the control of a few nixl on account of its Inflexibility the ^HaiaWnn ?ty>h .that thO UJOTfl W? produced the less money per unit Ct production we had. So that when we produced a crop sufficiently large to meet la- sotnc measure the demands of the world? "the less we_ got per unit. When the present administration came Inland1 the new banking and currency law was under consideration I realised that there must be in that bin a: ?*>eclal provision for the farmers.

"One of the chief faults with the Kesbaw County chain gang is the lack Of suitable bedding for the prisoners.

In Kershrtw ramp, however ? the box has no bottom, the xtraw Is scattered ?around very unevenly, and some quirt a ure nsed for covering In stead of having only blankets which are more sanitary becuuse they een1 i>e waahejl without injury.
