Waahingtou, Feb.? Tlio anti
prohibition ists bad their inning
today when representatives of
> the National German American
?Uiance appeared before the
house committee ou judiciary to
oppose in general the 16 bills in
troduced at this scssiou for the
Suppression of liquor traffic, and
In particularly the Littletield
bill which proposed federul aid
la the euforcemeut of local op
. tion excise laws. Anion# those
who spolte against the bills was
Attorney Theo. Sutro of New
York, presideut of the New
York branch of the alliance uud
former commissioner of taxes.
A running exchange of thrusts
between Mr. Sutro uud Repre
sentative Littletield, who is a
member of the committee, en
livened the hearing.
Araoug those in attendance
pere several members of the
Women's Christum Temperance
union and half a dozen clergy
men from as many cities.
Mr. Sulro assumed the familiar |
ground that "you cum uob legis
late morality into tho people,"
?n4 he flung into Mr. Littlefield's
tfgurative teeth the assertion
I hut Maiue Mr. Littlelield's
IS lute, exemplified iu a great
measure the soundness ol the
claim that "prohibition does uot
prohibit."
"Then," suid Mr. Liittlefield,
''do I understand your argu
ment to be that morality can not
be iuculcated into the people by
legislation? Do you staud on
'that? Answer me directly,
please."
'?J stand on that, yes," said
}Mr. Sutro, ?'but I want my moan
ing understood by this commit
tee. What X stand on is this:
The only way to make temperate
pien and women is to teach them
moderation as they grow up I
|rom boyhood and girlhood, and
the ouly genuine, constitutional
way to keep them temperate
)vheu they have grown up, if
ihey are not strong enough of
themselves to bo moderate, is to
pake over-indulgence ? drunken
ness ? a crime, a misdemeanor.
Aud that is the province of
{State, not of the central govern
pent. I' the central law cao
Hay to a man 'thou shalt not take
It sip of wine or beer or whiskey
pr brandy, ' it can by the same
Huthority say to him 'thou shall
not take a mouthful of mince
l>ie and a tumbler of ice wutcr.'
(jrentleiqen of the committee,
pver indulgence in iutoxicants is
not the pniy excess conducive to
prlmo in this country. I give it
H* my firm belief that us inuny
murders have been committed by
dyspeptics rpade dyspeptic by
$p<y much mince pie und ice
Waler as by men inflamed to vio

Mr. Sutro returning to the

In order to facilitate the busi

and to turn in as much money
into the treasury as possible at
once for the purpose of pushing
organizers out all over the state
immediately; our executive com
mittee recommends all locals to
pay iu all dues for the year at
once instead 61 quarterly as has
been the custom.
We need about fifty or more
good organizers of the hustling
kind to tuke the field for work
at once. All applicants for the
position of organizers will be re
quired to produce an endorse

Well boys, here we are up and
at it again. In our little scrim
mug^ at that tubulent stream
that threatened to cut our far
mers off. from the promised land
some of u? were wounded, but
we trust that none of these
wounds will be so severe that we
will not be long in getting over
it and all join in again in one
solid compact in both rank and
tile to possess the lands of our
fathers. Our Farmers' Union of
S. C. has crossed over the bridge
that spanned the treacherous
stream and we have burned the
bridge behind us and woe unto
tljem that stands up to obstruct
our march onward toward the
time and peace of pleuty.
"If thy right hand offend thee
cut it off" is the command of the
good book ? well then if you nre
in trouble about your cotton, cut
the cotton off down to the place
where you will raise only so
much cotton as will belong to
yourself. It is better to raise
five bales of cotton for yourself
and family than to raise twenty
live bales for somebody else.

Uses of Cotton Seed Products
Cotton seed are noted for their
wide and various uses. Many
tliiDgs are made of them which
are very useful, and are known
in many parts of the world.
First, is cotton seed oil, which
is used by nearly everybody.
In cooking it is very often used
in the place of other lards, and all
other lards have been very often
refused for it. We use it in the
muring of biscuits, uud in fry
ing tisli, chicken, batter cakes
aud many other things. It is
also used in salads. Aud every
body relishes it to a high ex
tent.
Cotton seed oil is very useful
in medicines und machinery. It
is used in making salves and
liuiments which are .two im
portant kinds of medicines, and
I do uot think it would be very
easy to get along without them.
Cotton seed oil is used in greusf
ing vehicles, such as buggies,
wagons, carriages and working
machinery. Everybody should I
keep this wouderful oil in the
house iu case of sickness.
Cotton seed hulls are impor
tant also. They are used for
feeding cattle. We mix the hulls
with cotton seed meal, aud use
it for feed. Nearly all farmers
feed their milking cows on them,
and they make the butter rich
and nice.
The hulls are used for milking
beds for stook. They are very
good to pack lhitig9 with, such
as glass and china, only they are
so heavy.
The third thing is colton seed
meal. It is used by nearly
everybody for feeding cattle as
I have just told you. It is also
used for fertilizer. We use it in
fields and gardens. In gardens
when the rows have been laid
off, a man puts it dowu with a
drill made for the purpose, and it
is surprising to see how it makes
tho the dear little plants grow
and flourish. From all of these
things of which 1 have told you
you can know how useful cotton
is. The cotton furnishes the
seed and the seed furnishes all
of these wonderful products.
