Elsewhere in these columns appears , a proclamation of the governor of this State calling the Legislature into extra session to consider and try to remedy the situation now facing the farm ers and other interests owing to the European war. He later gave out a statement stating his views on the subject, and this appeared in the News and Courier of a few days ago as follows: "I stated to the News and Courier correspondent last night, when I gave him the proclamation calling for an extra sesion of the legislature, that I did not have the opportunity then to prepare a statement of my views in reference to the extra session, but that I would give them to him this morning. I did make a few remarks to him as he states, among them that I was not inclined to agree that a stay law of some kind or form could . not be legally enacted. My reasons for calling the extra session of the general assembly are clearly and fully set forth in the proclamation. I shall, of course, when the legislature is convened send them a short message giving to them such suggestions as I think are proper, and then leave it with them to enact such laws as they deem wise. I think, however, that one of the very first things that they should do would be to appoint a non-factional committee to confer with a similar committee from the legislatures of other cotton-growing States, as to what is best to do in reference to the cotton fiitlitttinn sn ?? to trnf fr?omtVinv upon a proper and uniform law, that the benefits derived from it will be given to all of the cotton-growing people and approved by the governors of the cotton-growing States. "Now, individually, I am of the opinion that they should pass laws that would prevent the poor of the State from being imposed upon by the foreclosure of either personal or real estate mortgages during this panic. I am satisfied that such a law can be passed, as will meet every constitutional requirement. They may not call it a stay law, but it most assuredly can be termed a law for the protection of the majority of the citizens of the State. Reduce Interest Rates "I also think that they should pass a law to reduce the rate of interest in this State, and to make it a felony, punishable by a long term of imprisonment, without the alternative of a fine, for any person, association or corporation, to charge any money borrower, either by discount or otherwise, any greater rate of interest than that fixed in the bill, so as to stop the usury, or, you might more properly say robbery, of the man who is compelled to have a little money. "I think they should also take up and give their most careful and seIM Alio i/lr.no f .? Ot ,.i ? 1- ? i u/uo v,\/hoivici di/iuii *i omi(i Wei rcnouso systom?cither such a bill as was introdueed at the last session, or such bill as will give the farmers proper relief. "And, yet, the most important of all matters to be considered, as I see it, is to make arrangements to linance the State during this crisis, without issuing- executions against, the property of the individual citizen who wih I not bo able to meet his tax obligations ! this fall. The present administration borrowed all the money it wanted this I v i year? sufficient amount to run it at '12 per cent., in the face of all the cursing-, abuse and villiucation and the lies that have been told on the present governor, and with the bankerg, money interests, all fighting- him md trying to hamper his adrninistra- , j tion in order to cause his defeat. It certainly would seem then that the | incoming administration, with a very, : very wealthy .hank president at its head, indorsed by all the money interests of the Stale, including capitalists bankers, railroad officials, cotton mill presidents and others, surely should [Uk "A-plenty I do either right Any time any of my cat- I hi lie better to tie oet anvthine wrnno I 1, or to make With them 1 give them a I ew dOSCS of? few doses of Bee Dee STOCK MEDICINE.

I - I be able to borrow money as cheaply, I if not;much cheaper, than the retiring I administration?and in view of this I fact I heartily favor the extension of I the time for the payment of taxes in 1 order to protect the property of the I poor and helpless. '' I A Part of State. I "Thes people are the State and each I individual, however poor he may be, I is as much a part of his State as I the wealthiest man in it, and should I receive the same protection from its I laws. In my opinion., it is a great deal 1 better for the State as a whole to I be in debt than it is for the individual I to have every little thing he has I i? \ - - - - - iorccci upon tne martct his wife and children turned out of home; and as the State has borowed this year all the money sh^ wn^ts at ft'/fc per cent, and no individual can borrow money at all, or it so, lor not less than 8 or 10 per cent., therefore it is better for alt of the individuals, as one, called the State, to borrow money to run the government on until April 1. at 3& per cent., or even, at 5 per cent., than to force the orco individual citizen to mortgage all he has to borrow money at 8 or 10 per cent., in order to pay his pro rata share of the running expenses of the government, of which government he is one. 1 have repeatedly called the attention of the legislature to the fact that extravagant appropriations made extravagant levies, and if the legislature had listened to me at its last session, and sustained all nvy vetoes, the levy this year could have 'been much less than it is. However, it is too late now to discuss that situation. We must discuss the one that faces us. There is many a poor man who will not be able to pay his taxes this fall?in fact, he will not be able to pay for what he and his family have already necessarily had to consume in order to sustain life, ami will have .. 1 1 A J A 1- * - 1 u nuiu time iv inane arrangements to continue to get the necessities of life under the present financial panic; and it most assuredly would be unjust, unfair and tyrannical for the whole to say to one, we will take your property and force it on the market and force your wife and children out in the street, if you do not pay your taxes by a certain date, particularly when the whole knows that it is imr possible for the one, the individual, to make such arrangements or if he does make it, to do so by the payment of an exorbitant profit to the moneylender. m?)'I Jf'itj An Illustration. "To illustrate: Suppose a corporation is composed of ten men and they owe $100,000?each being repaired to pay in $10,000. If the corporation could borrow the amount needed at 3 Vis per cent., and no individual could borrow his $10,000 for less than 10 per cent, by mortgaging all ho had, would it not be better for the. corporation, as a whole, to borrow the $100,000 than for each individual v to be forced to borrow his $10 000? Any one will answer " 4Yes,"' for the individuals make the corporation. Just so with the State; it is much cheaper for the State, as a whole, to borrow the amount needed to run the government than it is to force each individual to pay an exorbitant rate 4. I i- * *1 * 1 ui interest, uy mortgaging all oi. nis property to pay his pro rate share; and, as with the corporation, the individual makes the great corporation?namely, the State. "As I stated in my inaugural address, in 1010, which I repeat now?it is rar better to have a poor government and a wealthy people, than it is to have a wealthy government and a poor people. "If our legislature had listened to me then, ami acted upon that presumption, which is absolutely true, our people would not be as closely pinched as we are in the present crisis; but the legislature, being overwhelmingly opposed to me, carried out its usual policies and showed to the world that anti-Hlcaseis.m was the oppression of the poor, while Bleascism was then, as it is today, the refuse of the pooi and the oppressed," Mold Colon Until t e Trills Need If. The greatest good that can be done now is for everyone ' > talk of the value of cotton, and to strain evor> tierve evdP to the poin. of discomfort, to hold on to this valuable product of our soil and until ihe woi id calls of it again. We will fin I th. t when peace is declared cotton will be in such demand that all the r u p is we may be holding will be in dc and at prices that will make us ski; if we have let it get into the hands of the specula tors. Many have asked me what good have those meetings done? My answer is they are restoring confidence, they are showing our people the absolute folly of panic. And in the meantime before cotton comes in much volume the plants will he ma tured to retire all that the spinners will not take at a profit. We cannot do our country greater harm than by repeating and dwelling on low price talk; and next to the open market, we cannot do greater good than to I***1: and speak cheerful and hold a stiff upper lip.
