TV Appointment of a Committee to
Confer With Other Cotton Producing
States Was Important Matter
Discussed at First.
The special session of the South
Carolina Legislature called to convene
by Governor Blease on account of the
** depressed condition of the cotton
market, convened in Columbia the
first of last week. One of the first
things mentioned in that body was
the early appointment of a special
committee to confer and cooperate
with the law making bodies of other
cotton producing states. The question
of course was: "Of what good to
pass laws curtailing the acreage in
this State, if the other cotton growing
States are not going to cut down
any?"
Aside from organization of the senate
and house, the general assembly
accomplished little.
The governor sent up a message appended
to which were suggestions as
to legislation at the extraordinary
session. This message was received
by both houses in pamphlet form.
In the copy to the senate, pages of the
pamphlet had been stricken out by
the governor, but the copy of the
pamphlet sent as a message to the
house had not been edited. In other
words, the senate received an expurgated
and the house an unexpurgated
edition.
The Upper House.
The senate remained in session approximately
one hour on Tuesday.
This was consumed largely in reading
of the governor's message, two of
which were received. The first contained
some suggestions as to remedial
legislation. Measures suggested
by the Governor were:
s , That a committe he appointed to
confer with similar committees from
other cotton-growing States that uniform
legislation might he procured.
That a "stay law" of one year's duration
be enacted.
That the payment of taxes be postponed.
That the legal rate of interest be
reduced to 6 per cent.
That " careful and serious consideration"
be given the passage of a law
curatiling acreage.
That a warehouse system be similarly
considered.
And that the residents of certain
districts in York and Laurens counties
be relieved of taxes one year in
consequence of hail visitations.
^ "I do not care at this time to express
an opinion as to the constitutionality
of a law for the reduction of
acreage," the governor commented,
Legislators were advised to pass it
and "let the courts take the responsibility
of nullifying your action."
By Wednesday the House of Representatives
got down to work. All of
the bills on the calandar running over
from last session were stricken off
or laid over and the following new
bills, all relating to the cotto nproblem
were introduced for consideration
C. C. Wyche:?To authorize the gov
ernor, State treasurer and comptroller
general to borrow funds to meet the
expenses of the State government dur
ing the year 1915.
C. C. Wyche?To extend the time
for the payment of taxes for the yeai
inu

creating a special commission to confer
with members of other general assemblies
of the cotton-growing States
and setting forth the powers ant:
t * duties of said special commission.
C. C. Wyche?To reduce the acreage
in the planting of cotton in this State
C. C. Wyche?To exempt certain cil

sons from teaching in negro school*
and to prohibit negroes from teaching

l the extension of time for payment oi
taxes levied for the year 1914.

Mr. McQueen?To promote the ag,

, and providing penalties for the viola1
tion of the provisions thereof. '
Messrs. Belser and Epps?To restrict
the cotton acreage to be planted
in the State of South Carolina during
the year 1914.
Mr. Stevenson?To regulate the
storage, grading and marketing of
cotton.
As to Taxes.
Bills extending the time for paying ,
1914 taxes and authorizing the borrowing
of money by the state were un
favorably reported to the House. The
House agreed to October 12 as the
last day that bills could be introduced
except by committees.
Another resolution providing that j
the House shall not consider at this
extra session any bills except those '
relating to measures lor relict ol the
agricultural and commercial interests
was passed.
Down to Real Work. \
Settling down to real work the 1
General Assembly seemed disposed to
get at measures for real relief of the (
farmers. A rule was adopted which j
will give emergency measure preced- ^
ence. Representatives Reiser, Pegues
Atkinson, Blackwell, Rethea, Mower, j'
C. C. Wyche, Welch, Epps, Lee and L
Riley were appointed by Speaker j
Smith as special committee of eleven
i to consider all bills for the reduction
of cotton acreage. Rills were srhed- ^
uled to provide that the question of j
the elimination of all cotton in 1915:
be submitted to the voters of the
State in a special election on Novem- ^
3. Another measure limits the culti- ,
vation to four acres for each work an ^
imal. These measures have been prepared
by the spcial committee of the'
South Carolina branch of the South- ,
ern Cotton Congress. j
In the Senate last week an unfavor- ^
able report was made on the McLaurin
bill or the deferment of the payment
of taxes and another measure j,
to bond the old asylum property for j
$1,500,000. No report has as yet been
made on the warehouse bill.
Serious and Short.
The members seem to realize the sc j
riousness of the situation and the in- <
? durations are that the sesson will be j
i! brought to a close at an early date.
Last week the two bodies did veryI
little except to dispose of preliminary I
work. When the House and Senate j
met last Monday after the members
got back from their homes, they were1
I confronted with the necessity of pos-1
i itive decision between reduction of
acreage in cotton, or total elimination |
of the crop for next year.
This bewildering dilimma gradually
assumed definite form during the clos
ing hours of last week's debates, when
measures not germane to the cotton
i situation had been barred. It is ex
pected that little attention will be dii
rccted toward other relief or mergent
legislation until those particular ques
tions have been disposed of.
In the senate, the radical wing, ad- j
vocating the total elimination pro.
gramme, is championed by J. L. Mc,
Laurin. The Marlboro senator has
already delivered two lengthy speeches
and the question is to be debated
again Tuesday. A determined opposition
is led by Senator Alan John
stone of Newberry. The only question
agitating the acreage reduction fac'
lion is to what extent shall the crop
be cut.
Senator Sullivan of Anderson has
' introduced a hill limiting the crop to
' 2,500 pounds to the plow. A gradu'
ated tax would be laid on the over'
production. Senator Manning of Dillon
is advocating a cut of one-third
of cultivated land in 1915. Senator
McLaurin is the author of the bill
looking toward no cotton in 1915.
i Senator Johnstone argues against
the elimination bill the pre-existcnce
of contracts, leases for rent years in
; advance. A law to eliminate would
I be ex post facto in these cases, he
argues.
The Undertaker a Developer.
: There are in many communities
5 successful business men and farmers
who stand like stumps in the high1
ways of progress and in such a sit
uation the Undertaker is an import5
ant factor in development. Scarcely
a day passes that they do not add a
5 new terror to death by refusing to
join with public spirited citizens in a
- movement for the upbuilding of their
5 community or by their indifference
? snag an industrial enterprise.
It takes live men to build a commun
5 ity and there is no sadder sight in life
5 than a few noble spirited citizens
staggering under a load of dead tim
i ber. The undertaker is often a devcl?
oper.

INEVITABLE.
ARE PANIC STRICKEN
When the People Know They Are Subject
to Annihilation by Huge Monsters
of the Air Dropping Death and
Destruction.
The condition of panic among the
populace in Antwerp was increased
last week by the appearance at 11
s'clock one morning and afternoon of
German air craft which dropped
aombs, destroying seven houses and
\111111jji, a score oi peopie.
After the Zeppelins' successful at:ack
the large avenue leading to the
railroad station quickly became black
with a struggling mass of persons
?ager to escape from the city. It
was a pathetic sight to see the poor
people some carrying on their backs
heir hopelessly mained or idiotic relatives.
I
The situation quickly changed again
While at 2 o'clock even grown men
vcre weeping with terror and fighting
for places around the railway station,
it (> o'clock everybody was again cer;ain
that the forces would be able to ,
lold out against the Germans and
won throw them back across the riv?r
Netho while everybody was telling
lis neighbor how far superior the * *
* guns were to the German heavy artillery.
The Belgian ministers are trying to ;
each Ostond through Flanders and
yia Holland. The Belgian army

caving the guarding of the forts for!
the night to fresh * * * troops.

guns brought to Antwerp by the British).
New Line of Defence.
The unexpected fierceness of the!
German attack on Antwerp, which it j
is reported is being made by live army
corps, has given rise to the opinion
among the higher military officers
here that Germany intends to establish
a second line of defence running
from Antwerp to Brussels, Namur
and Metz, upon which it will be possible
to retreat in case the German

began more quietly and with probably
less confusion than any other in
years. All departments of the institution
are now in full swing.

Three months from Oct. 1st, 1914
the San Diego Exposition will open' t<
the world. On this day occurs th<
formal opening of the Panama Cana
whose completion is to be celebrates
by the two expositions at $an Fran
cisco and San Diego. No other even
has been marked by two celebration;
of this sort, and no other event ha
been of such prime importance to th<
country which is celebrating. Th<
striking feature of the exposition i
that they are celebrations not alon<
of something which is completed am
gone on, but rather of somethinj
which is ahead; they might be consid
ered as heralding the mightier growtl
of the West through presenting to th<
world the opportuities the West of

Europe is today punged in th<
greatest war of all time, and in 1911
will not receive the 500,000 Americai
tourists who have gone there eacl
year. Since these tourists cannot g<
to Europe they are coming beyond i
doubt to the West coast, and hen
they will see sights beside which thos<
of Europe, and Asia, and Africi
amount to little. No other country
in the world has the majestic harmony
of sea and canyons and mountain;

DAIRY NOTES.
Dairying conserves farm fertility
Give each cow a name and alway
speak the name when approachin
her. A cow called "Bess" all the tim
soon learns that "Bess" means hei
This aids surprisingly when drivin
a number of cows.
Never hurry a cow or strike hei
Always treat her kindly. Gaining
cow's afTection has more to do wit
the milk supply than some peopl
think.
Do not neglect to feed a cow we
while she is dry. Her main food dui
ing this period should be roughag*
but not highly carbonaceous rougl
age, such as corn stalks.
It is important to have regula
times for feeding and to stick to thei
strictly. It is also important to mil
at regular times and to have the unnr
ber of hours between milkings a
equal as is possible.
