PREPARES TO PAY 10 CENTS.
Liverpool Expects Fanners to Act as
Usual.
"Liverpool is expecting to buy the
1919 crop of cotton at ten cents per
pound," said Commissioner Harris
Saturday. "Believing that the South
will plant a large crop or at least a
normal one this year, Liverpool,
which is one of the largest markets
in the world is counting on a very
low price. This information * is reported
by a Liverpool dealer who
has just come from England. And
this is just exactly what will happen
if the cotton planters of the South
do not heed the warnings of those
who know conditions.
"Time and again it has been proved
clearly that a 10,000,000 bale
crop has brought more money than
a 15,000,000 bale crop. Why should
the farmer raise 5,000,000 bales of
cotton for nothing? Just look at the
waste of time and energy and of
money, too.
"In 1918 the government urged
the farmers to plant a large acreage
in food crops. It was necessary in
order to win the war. In spite of
this * great opportunity and disregarding
the appeal of the government,
the farmers of the South planted
the largest acreage in cotton that
they ever had; and if the good Lord
had not cut the bales the South
would have been ruined. It has been
well said that He has a special providence
over children, drunkards and
fools.
"I hope the farmers will do the
right thing this year. Our farmers
have been warned of the disaster
that will befall them if they do not
give heed to the advice of those who
hate been watching the ebb and flow
of conditions for many years. Now,
what is the right thing for the farmer
to do? Here is the advice of the
combined thought of the leaders of
the South.
"Hold your 1918 crop until the
price reaches 35 cents and even then
sell sparingly. Cut your acreage
33 1-3 per cent.; and reduce your
fertilizer under cotton 3^' 1-3 to 50
per cent. If this is done, we will
win the fight and save the South
* -. from bankruptcy and slavery.
/ "Investigation shows plainly what
the South has been losing annually
by the slipshod method it has had
for selling cotton. The South has
been losing annually $180,000,000. I
can prove this and may do so at
another time when ^pace permits.
Can this system of selling be changled?
It can. How? By organization
and cooperation of the farmers,
bankers and business men of all
classes.
"Have we ever had over production
of cotton? I would answer
'no,' but we have had under-consumption,
as I will prove. There
has been no over-production so long
as our people in the South have not
enough clothing when the weather
is cold and bad. It was not overproduction
of cotton that caused the
price to be low?but under consumptioa
of cotton goods. It is a fact,
strange as it may seem, that the farmers
who produce the cotton and
the labor that spins and weaves it
into cloth are the most poorly clad
people in the country, as a rule.
There has not been one family in 500
that could not have used three times
as much cotton goods if their real
needs could have been met, but the
.
price of cotton was so low, the product
selling at cost of production,
i that no money was left to purchase
clothes. I have known many a far
mer to not have enough money left to
buy even one garment apiece for his
family after he had sold his last
bale.
"When is the system of cotton going
to be changed? It is starting in
now, in 1919, and in 1920, the fartiti
11 Vinvr/\ f V? /\ 1 P r?o tt
HI ci will nave tnc yiivncsti ui oajing
to the world, 'You will give me
my price.' How is this going to be
brought about? By the organization
and cooperation which I have pointed
out, and by sticking to it.
"I will say to the farmers, when
this is done, you will break the Hindenburg
line. The bear speculator,
or the Hun, is about ready to sign
the armistice, as he must have cotton
to deliver to the spinner who is
calling for cotton as the supply of
the mills is very, very low and they
cannot spin wind contracts into
thread and cloth. Now when he puts
cotton up a little bit, don't take the
bait. Sit steady in the boat. Have
patience and determination and it
will come out all right."
< IDI ?
Millions of What?
"My boy," said the minister, "do
you know the 'meaning of energy
and enterprise?"
"No, sir," answered Freddy, "I
don't believe I do."
"Well, I'll tell you. One of the
richest men in the world came to this
city without a shirt to his back, and
now he has millions."
Freddy gazed at the clergyman in
open-eyed amazement. "Millions?"
he asked. "Why how many of them
can he wear at one time?"

SOLDIER SECURES SEPARATION
Couple Marries in Columbia ant
Nuptial Ties Are Annulled.
Columbia, March 17.?Legal pro
ceeding taken in Charleston recentlj
to secure a separation between mar
and wife is of some local interest af
the marriage was solemnized in Co
lumbia. It seems that a soldier sta
tioned at Camp Jackson secured i
marriage license and was married ii
the county court house on July 13
191$. Later he applied before th<
master of Charleston county for th<
marriage, to be annulled. The cast
was heard and the contracting par
ties were freed from their nuptia
ties.
Legal separation is easy in Soutl
Carolina according to the report o
the proceedings. G. D. Bellinger
judge of probate, said yesterday tha
no one had inspected the license tc
ascertain if the hand writing appear
ed to be that of a man laboring in i
half conscious condition or stupor
The instrument was not used in tin

ed the ceremony was not summoned
to testify. The judge of probate die
not perform the ceremony ,as th<
record shows.
The soldier applied for separatior
on the ground that he was dopec
while out riding in an automobih
and when he regained possession o:
his mental faculties he was being in
troduced as husband of the womar
he had taken to ride. After discov
eries led him to seek separation.
Just what evidence was introduced
at the hearing at Charleston is
not known, but it is plainly evidenl
that the office of the judge of probate
where the marriage license was
issued on July 13, 1918, wTas noi
considered in the proceedings, neither
was any testimony sought from
officiating notary public.
The license issued to Sidney Prager
and Lois Huggins, the parties
named in the Charleston case, was

Ringgold, Ga.? Mrs. Chas. Gaston,

; Also in my mother's home, when I

a dose of Black-Draught, which would

I we would soon be up and around
