WILL WORK FOR LIVE STOCK.
R. H. Raw 1 (Vxning to South Caro
lina Soon.
H. H. Rowl, chief of the dairy divi
sion of the department of agriculture,
left Washington Weonesday after
noon to take up with Col. J. A. Banks
and others interested at St. Matthews
on Thursday the matter of the organ-
iration of a co-operative association
for live stock raising in South Caro
lina. This will be the first attempt
of the department of agriculture to
encourage, in a substantial way. the
live stock industry of the State.
ly after the election be a^^re\ave to
say concerning the matter.” I beg
that you do not let that be all you
have to say, but continue to agitate
the matter and educate the people up
To t£eir duties.
I have heard.so much that sadden
ed me and caused me to blush with
shame about the corruption and brib
ery ia the last Congressional race in
your district that I have been forced
to concludle that there must have
been fearful demoralization. If there
had been a contest for Mr Whaley s
seat by one, the facts would all have
been broaght out under oath As it
is. nothing was done or can be done
that I know of. at least not by me.
Very sincerely.you m.

ago providing for warehouse* to store
co’ton in. but which was declared un
constitutional by the Sta’e Supretne
Court, were enacted into law. it
would, under a rational and safe
management, be of untold benefit to
•he people of South Carolina I hope
sincerely that the plan will not be
given up entirely and that a bill
properly safeguarded will be prepar
ed and enacted into law at the very
next session of-the Legislature ”
Sena'or E D Smith said: “Of
course. I am in favor of the currency
plan now being advocated by Mr.
Henry, of Texas, or something like it.
This is no new thing The farmers
have been advocating it for years. I
made speeches along this line before
I came to the Senate. There is no
reason why a safe and practicable
plan can not be worked out. The as
sess of the farmers should be as good
for barfking purposes as any mercan
tile paper In use to-day. I will never
be satisfied until the farmers get this
and I re;oice that the way seems to
be opening for them to get it.”
These utterances were made public
before Secretary McAdoo’s plan for
lending $5D.*0h.h0rt became known.
It is still important, however, that
Congress take care of the farmers, al-
•hough the action taken by the treas
ury department will help them ma
terially.
