COTTON MEN MEET IN 1 CAPITOL TO DAY: ? 1 ,-r ] REPRESENTATIVES FROM NEAR- < LY ALL OF THE COUNTIES < EXPECTED. ( OPEN TO THE PUBLIC ! ( f 1 Meeting Called by Wade Staekhouse, | President of the South Carolina Division of the Southern Cotton ' Congress. "I hereby call a meeting of the South Carolina division of the Southern Cotton Congress to meet at the Jefferson hotel in Columbia at 8 p. m., Thursday, September 24. The presi-i a- -r 1- - ~? i... Ko 1 oenv U1 t'UCIl CVUIIty IS rtarwtvi vw ^ present and in event he can not come, he is asked to name an alternate to ^ represent him. Those counties not ^ having an organization are urged to send a representative, as we hope that each of the 44 counties in South Caro- ' litia. will be represented. We shall be glad to have from each county as many representatives as they see fit j to send. Our meetings are open to the public and any one interested in the cotton situation is invited to be ' present. "On Thursday, October 1, a meet- ' ing is called at the court house, 11 a, m., in each county in the State to consider what our request, if any, shall 1 be to the special session of the legislature called to meet October G. "I wish to urge that our friends in every county in South Carolina will push our organization work. We need expense money and hope that | every citizen of the State who is able ' will join us by buying one of our badges at .$1 and show by wearing it ' that he is willing to help us boost the price of cotton. If you can not afford to pay the $1, come to our meetings anyway and show by your presence that your heart and good wishes are with us. If you work a one-horse farm or a 50-horse farm, if you make one bale or 500 bales; rich or poor, whitp or black, we nopd vonr influ- ! ence. We stand for the poor man as well as the rich in asking that our j creditors will take that what we have ?a cotton warehouse receipt?and withhold collecting his notes and ac- j counts as long as he possibly can in order that we may obtain cost or 1 above for this cotton crop. We wish the cooperation of the farmers, merchants, bankers, fertilizer companies < and all other persons doing business in the South. We wish to thank the many friends of cotton for the support they are giving us. They "buy-a bale' plan has done good. Our patriotic women are going to help us by wearing cotton clothes. Some of our colleges are taking cotton or warehouse receipts for tuition and board. Some of the big insurance companies ' have received the permission in Washington of investing a part of their income in cotton just as they have been investing in bonds and mortgages. It is even possible that some of the socalled heartless trusts i like Standard Oil and International < Harvester company and others may 1 come in to help us bear the burden, i The national government has tried to help us. The regional banking law is < the only star of hope when we look to < the future; except and most important i of all reduction of cotton acreage in ] 1915. Our friends in Washington say they have done for us all they can 1 and if we expect further government i aid it must be from our State govern- i ments. Our South Carolina farmers have a bull dog grip on this cotton i crop and I believe if the other States , \1M 1 1 n ?t.?v ...*11 ? -C ^ A TI ut OV1V.IV IU US V*'f Will Will (JUL. teuton is now 1 cent per pound higher than ten days ago, due, I believe, to the small receipts. One cent per pound means to the South $75,000,on this cotton crop. Mr. Farmer, how ever' small, you are helping to play a game of chance and the stake is the paltry sum of hundreds of millions of dollars. Are you going to stand and take some hardships like a true soldier, or are you going to take to your heels, sell your cotton on a declining market and help to make yourself, your neighbor and your country poorer. I urge that every farmer in South Carolina be asked to sign our pledge during September. First, we ask that if possible, you sell no cotton during the month of September. We kno"w there is no demand for cotton at present and this will sustain the price. Second, we ask you to hold One-third; * ' of your crop till September 1915, unless you get 12 cents per pound at an e&rlier date. We believje this a ffc&r ' and reasonable request. Five million bales of this crop can not be spun by the mills of . the worljl. j If force the mills to tnUo r; ono ono ... vnto U)VVA/(V/W surplus, cotton will go down to 6 cents. If the farmer and his friends will hold' tjhis surptyst |we Irnay del^ the other 10,000,000 bale's at about 10 * cents. It is fair for every one to hold [ Dne-third of his crop and borrow all the money you can on it to pay your * debts. If you can not borrow money I an it, better take the receipt and pa%V same of your bills with it for a year. If you can not hold the third of your crop, beg or almost force one of your j creditors to hold it for you for one year. When yur county is canvassed, it should show that one-third j of last year's crop is going to be held , for one year, unless the. minimum price, 12 cents, is obtained for it. If you hold one-third of this crop, the Dther two-thirds, slowly fed to the mills, as your necessities demand, will bring more money than all the crop ( forced on the market with no demand. Third, sign the pledge to reduce acreage (cotton) next year 50 per cent. Crop reduction 50 per cent, is the * most essential thing to give value to the present crop?to your 1915 crop and even to the 191G crop. "At our Staie meeting we are go- ^ ing to consider two plans by which , the legislature can help us. First, , we hope to have a State warehouse ^ bill in working shape to present the { legislature on October 6. Second, we ^ will take up the discussion of State control of acreage. I "The European war will be a great benefaction to us if we can work out , a plan to curtail acreage when we have made a surplus. If we can do this, we have a monopoly crop almost as permanent as real estate and which will in time make the South the rich- j est agricultural country on the face < of the earth." j j IMPORTANT TO ALL WOMEN < READERS OF THIS PAPER. Thousands upon thousands of women have kidney or bladder trouble \ and never suspect it. ^ Women's complaints often prove to be nothing else but kidney trouble, or * the result of kidney or bladder disease i If the kidneys are not in a healthy ' 1!a* . i 1 * * * condition, tney may cause the other organs to become diseased. You may suffer a great deal with pain in the back, bearing down feelings, headaches and loss of ambition. . Poor health makes you nervous, ir- ^ ritable and may be despondent; it makes any one so. 1 But hundreds of women claim that ] Dr. Kilmer's Swamp Root, by restor- \ ing health to the kidneys, proved to be just the remedy needed to overcome such condtions. A good kidney medicine, possessing real healing and curative value, should be a blessing to the thousands of ner- ] vous, over-worked women. c Many send for a sample bottle to j see what Swamp Root, the great Kidney, Liver and Bladder Remedy will * do for them.

THE MIDDLE OF LAST WEEK * SAW TERRIBLE SLAUGHTER OF HUMAN LIFE. A correspondent writing from Par- f is to the New York American the mid j :llo of last week described the condi- { tions and the great loss of life to the r German army af follows: r "Judging from the things seen ev- f sry day in this city of Paris, and oth- ( 21' nearby points, the battle now go- c ing on day by day between the Ger- > mans on one side and the French and i English armies on the other, it ex- . tremely violent and terrible beyond t [lescription. Hundrends of wounded passed around Paris during the night. Persons arriving on these trains say that both the opposing armies ( are fighting desperately. Neither j has any marked advatage as yet. ( A correspondent of La Partrie ( states that the Germans left 5,000 dead in the region between Meaux, Chambry, Barcy and Varreddes during the last few days of the fighting. "Within an entrenched zone of a circumference of about three miles," he said, "I could not find ten yards of ground clear of corpses." Senator Leon Bourgeois, accompa nied by Dr. Pechadre, has just returned from a tour of Champaigne, where he collected evidence of German atrocities. Everywhere he says he found traces of "savagery." The invaders, he declares, burned,l pillaged and devastated everything! in sight. German soldiers who were finding plenty of champaigne in ever? cellar in that district, sayS' Senator Bourgeois, got druhk. In many cases hundreds of them lwere found in a hopeless condition by French troops,# frhd, Wtfrie; 'decimated or taken prisoners. ..

HUSBAND RESCUED DESPAIRING WIFE After Four Years of Discouraging Conditions, Mrs. Bullock Gave Up in Despair. Husband Came to Rescue* \ Catron, Ky.?In an interesting letter from this place, Mrs. Bettie Bullock writes as follows: "I suffered for four years, with womanly troubles, and during . this time, I could only sit up for a little while, and could not walk anywhere at I all. At times, 1 would have severe pains in my left side. The doctor was called in, and his treatment relieved me for a while, but I was soon confined to my bed again. After that, nothing seemed to do me any good. I had gotten so weak I could not stand, and I gave up in despair. At last, my husband got me a bottle ol Cardui, the woman's tonic, and I commenced taking it. Rrom the very first dose, 1 could tell it was helping me. 1 can now walk two miles without its tiring me, and am doing my work." If you are all run down from womanly troubles, don't give up in despair. Try Cardui, the woman's tonic. It nas helped more than a million women, in its 50 years of wonderful success, and should surely help you, too. Your druggist has 9cld Cardui for years. He knows what it will do. Ask him. He will recommend it. Begin taking Cardui today. Write to: Chattanooga Medicine Co., Ladles' Advisory Dept.. Chattanooga.
