CONFERE*
HELD
Senator Smith Thinks Continu,Ion of
Present Pri?es Would Work Disas
ter?Analyzes Situation of Politi
cal Differences.
Columbia. August 1.?Senator E. D.
Smltb, who paaaed through the city
tonight gave out the following state
ment, calling for a cotton conference
if there 1b a war, in. Europe.
The appaling fall in -the price of
cotton that has taken place within the
last few days as the result of .the
threatened war in Europe should give
concern and anxiety to every person
of the South. If the price now Indi
cated should be maintalued through
the next few months the disaster to
the South would be beyond calcula
tion. .,.It'_ would go even further than
that, because the United States looks
to the South to furnish cotton to Eu
rope in uu tile lent quantities to turn
the balance of trade to America.
"Without our cotton crop the bal
ance of "trade every year would go
against us in favor of Europe. The
matter Is therefore of nation wide im
portance and it behooves the people
of the South not enly to. take action
to protect themselves but to protect
th? entire United States, That some-:;
thing muBt Le done is plainly appar
ent. ? .
"Th? war coming ?s It may at this
time, the bulk of cotton to he marketed'
the situation .is filled with the great
est gravity. It Is hardly possible that i
such a war could last more than threo
months, but that would be long j
enough to br(ng disaster upon every
Southern cotton planter.
A Conference Suggested.

next few days, a conference be called
at Columbia of. the farmers, bankers,
merchants and other business men
of the State with a view to providing
means for holding off the' market the
cctton that will soon be forced upon
'"I have heretofore attempted te
point out to the farmers the dlsasn;
trous effect or: the entire crop of thisj
"distress" cotton. Tho Federal gov
ernment is keenly alive to the situa
tion.. I am eure wo can count on the!
hearty cooperation of President Wil
son and Secretary McAdoo in any plan 1
that will avert this appuling disaster |
to the . South and to tho Nation.
."This mutter has glren me consid
erable concern, and I felt a desire to
direct the attention of the people to
this threatened disaster,, but in view
of the fact that .We are in the midst
of a heated campaign, I bave refrain
ed. But I' now lcel that this is a
sufficient reason to restrain me no
longer. A Jew.,day* ago the newspa
pers reported that in view of the grave
crisis which confronted England, her
people. had forgotten their , political
differences which were acute.
"Let U3 follow their example, and in
this giavo crisis'which confronts th*
indusirail welfare of the people, let
us fo1* our political differences and
give i best thoughts to some plan
by, Which .those, who. produce cotton,
and those who are dependent upon it
may ..receive a proper return for. their
labor.
"1 would greatly appreciate if those
in the State who are interested, in
this movement would write to Colum
bia, giving mo the benefit of their sug
gestions, bo that a meeting may be
caiiea and plans outlined which may
bo promulgated throughout the cottoa
