Listen to- the siren 1 annir nf 13 rfinfB." hjivh K. .Ti. WataoH. ' commissioner of agriculture of South * Carolina and- president of. tlie South- ' ern Cotton congress in air address to * the farmers of the South,. Issued re- * cently, In which he urges a reduction 1 of cotton acreage during the coming * season. ( "The cotton growers ftf tlie South," 2 savs tho commissioner, "havo passed J through two of the most trying years in tho history of cottoiu At this time * last year those who have been- in the 4 forefront of the fight to maintain a 1 living price for cotton against abnor- ( mal conditions, imsde possible by 1 American and foreign market moth- ( ods, which as yet are permitted to exist, were lending every energy to 1 briug about a reduction of acreage or at least to prevent an increase of 1 acreage. Conditions following the huge crop of 1911, and hard work , made this possible. The price on the crop just harvested was kept, steady. "A more serious situation confronts you nowsand hence this word of warning. With the price of the 1912 crop remaining fairly good and steady all the season through the argument of tho manipulators will be that the cotton farmer of .the South will yield to temptation and.do as he has done hundreds of times befQjro? plant more acreage to cotton, onj-the assumption that the price will stay up. This expectation you have justified in the past and it will be used from the start. Under present laws and established methods, though tho world demand be for a crop possibly larger than 14,500,000 bales, I want to say to you it will be suicidal to Increase your acreage. It Is more im? ' portant to hold yourself and your ac1 reage in check this year than ever be' fore. To yield to the temptation ot | an increased price this season will be equivalent to proving yourself devoid * of even common sense. "The planting season is upon us 1 now. Stop and think for a day or I two before you listen to the siren : song of 13 cents. The danger of you ? and yours is greater by far than last 3 year. If you must have a larger 1 acreage on your farm, put the in" crease in corn and other food crops. * As one who has striven to aid you in ^ the hour of need, and has been faith3 ful to the trust imposed in him, let ? mo entreat you to hold your acreage down and provo to the world that - you are not obliged to rush in and " do what every cotton broker in Now " York, Liverpool and elsewhere ex" pect you to do for your own undoing t and the enrichment of others. > "In this State I have endeavored to ^ get the general assembly to enact a " simple cotton statistics-gathering law ? that will force facts on the world * when they should be there?not when 3 it is too late; this measure, which would aid in some degree, is not yet a law. Oklahoma already has it, and "uir organizations have all asked for *? every cotton State. -ain let me beg of you to watch ?age, and let good sense ink of judgment guide you of your crop this year, will face in the fall * be the most se^ced.

T?e News andl Courier, says CJl>tfe Rente,, the 13-y<mr old bo?> who shod from his home at LaJwlancf, 5n iflwiuary 2 3,. and for witom sinoo .hat. date a fruiciess search* has bean maintained by fois relatives in this State and in Florida, has been f-ouitd m a; farm sev^ai miles from Tiim nonsville. Mr. Pic Purvi-i*, a plaiti)r of; that secthm came tc- the a sstsanca1 of the little lad a& he was iboutt to be put: off a train, in LJeor?ia, and taking the lost youngster loma with him, has cared for him 3ver since. An,account iru The Ne;vs md Courier concerning the disappearance of the boy was . the means 5f the discovery of the tad by his 'elatives after they had almost j^iv3ii up hope ofr seeing him again. Clyde Rent? is the son of Mr.. D. P. Rentz, o I Lakelaud, Florida. When Clydti; was two lays old; his mother died and he was sent to> live with his grandparents,. Mr. and) Mrs. Jacob G. iientz, wh<i reside near RranchvilSe,. in this county. He remained with his grand parents till las: suntnei, when he went ' n .Va father's, home in Florida. hffe disappeared from Lakeland on January 2 3 and since that date all efforts to find him have been? vain.. The first clue to where- the boy went when her vanished w.as reported in The News and Courier Tuesr day. A Charleston raaa, travelling 1 on a north-bouad Coast Line train . from Jacksonville to Charleston on i January 2 3, saw on the train a lirtLe I lad who gave his name as Clyde Rentz, and who stated that he. had lost his father in Jacksonville and had boarded the train, thinking that IllS lamer was HI OIIU ui me w*?.v;uva. The Charlestonlan stated that the conductor had put the lad off the train at Folkston, Ga. It now appears that Mr. Pic Purvis, a farmer of the Timmonsville section who was also on the train at the time, paid the boy's fare in order to prevent the conductor from putting him off, and then took the lad with him to his home. On Mr. Purvis' farm, seven miles from Timmonsville, Clyde Rentz has been living happily ever since. Mr. Purvis bought him a suit of clothes and some books and started him at school, and the lad seemed perfectly happy. Although diligent search was made for the lad from the time of his disappearance, the case was not reported to the newspapers until about a week ago. Then an article was published in The News and Courier narrating the circumstances of the lad's disappearance, and this was followed by several other articles of the same general sort. One of these articles in The News and Courier was seen by i.Mr. Purvis and he at once communicated with Clyde's grandfather at Branchville. An uncle of Clyde's, Mr. Peter Rentz, immediately went to Mr. Purvis' farm to get the youngster. Among those who aided in the searrch for the little fellow was the Rev. E. A. McDowell, of Ehrhardt: The following letter from Clyde's grandfather to the Rev. M. McDowell speaks eloquently of the gladness which the discovery of the boy has brought to one South Carolina home: "The Rev. E. A. McDowell, Ehrhardt, S.

Washington correspondent o.f The News and Courier: UI am watching the Legislature of South Carolina and hoping and pray- v ing that It will pass some reasonable /T railroad bill. It ought to pass a bill ^ requiring every railroad selling mileage books to sell one good for any number of persons to go anywhere on the system, just as they do all over the North, east of the arid prairies. "The requirement that holders of mileage books shall exchange mileage for tickets is a nuisance and an abomination, and the requirement that a member of his family buy a separate book for each member of his family is a robbery that ought not to be permitted. "I don't see why the railroads in South Carolina can't treat us like white people as they do in the North, Instead of like cattle. Only 'cussing* will do the subject justice. These nuisances ought to be abated, and the Legislature can do It." a ? Astronomer Garrett P. Serviss predicts a terrible smashup between the earth and the sun.
