Wc do not wish to bc tiresome lo our readers ?ii discussing thc matter of cotton, bul it seems to be the all important subject up tor discussion just now, and if further justification were needed it may he found in the fact that the legislature of a great State after being in ce si?n for five days decided that '.he two qustions worthy considera don are: 1. The elimination of the cotton crop. '1. Thc elimination of the cotton crop. The idea seems to prevail that no matter what the present Igisla iurc does the next session in January can undo it. This is proceeding al.MU? rather untenable grounds. How do we know that the next leg .-luture will "kill" anything the present sfSsion docs? Thc person nel <>f the legislature meeting in January will be different ; a new gov ernor will occupy the position of Chief Executive of the State, and dangerous or unsafe legislation should not be passed at this session my more than at any other session. We like the suggestion made in the current issue of the Neu ber ry Observer, which is as follows: lt strikes us that the best this legislature can do is lo ' indicate the prohibition-or the restriction it thinks wisest to make, put the matter in the hands of a committee of wisc and influential and well-informed citizens with instructions to ?o as far toward reducing the acreage as the other cotton States will agree to go, and let that committee, in collaboration with committees from other States, work the problem out and get the answer; and when the regular ses sion of the legislature meets, next January, the matter can be taken up and a law can be passed without delay, the details having already been arranged by the committee. This would .uive ample notice, and farmers could govern t11 e : : : s e 1 v e s accordingly. It would not be the part of wisdom for South Caro lina to pass any law on the subject of curtailing of the cot ton crop without reference to what other cotton States will do. lt is true the next legislature at the regular January session could icpeal what the special session does; but it would be better not to do anything that stands so little chance of being adopted by other cotton States as the total prohibition of cotton planting for toi 5. The fact is, the State is not readv to act, for the simple reason that it does not know what other States will do. and there is no way of finding out before the present legislature will have to ad jour. The Intelligencer holds to its opinion that it is not wise to at empt to curtail the acreage of cotton by legislation at this time. The -lan suggested above by the Newberry'Observer strikes us as being he better plan. The war may be over by January, or oilier conditions nay arise that will make it inexpedient to have such legislation en icted into law. Better trust the next legislature to pass thc law if it ;3 needed, rather than to repeal it if it is not needed. Of course we ealize that there arc many thoughtful farmers? and students of thc Mesnt condition of affairs, who think otherwise, and they are back d up with some splendid arguments, too. Of course the acreage of he cotton crop should he reduced. But. our contention is that it hould be done by an appeal to the intelligence md common sense if the farmer and business man of the South, who can be trusted to lo thc right thing. A few years ago cotton sold for less than it is ?clting for now, and we did not ivar anything of a law forbidding the Manting of more than a certain number of bales per plow. And yet he juice went up. America can consume much more cotton now than formerly, and t may be that this "Cotton Goods Movement" v ; :m is gaining such .;reat momentum will mean the home consun iptii of much of the ^resent surplus of colton. If adding an inch tlx tail ot the China nan's shirt would take care of our surplus, i?v n -ich easier to .tandie it by making thc d;esses for our own wo/lien folk of the tapie, and we might suggest widening their skirts. Seriously speaking, however, we cannot favor the wholesale cur ailing of the cotton crop, nor can we see the wisdom of passing a law it this time ri, tailing the crop. So let the legislature adjourn and go ionic. BRING OUT HIDDEN MONEY. The minds of all the people of the country are engaged in try ng to fathom out means for bettering the condition of affairs. Many .chemes are being nut forward, and among tlsmi many have merit. Jue of these is proposed by the Charlotte Observer, and is as fol !ows: The Observer's little homily on the cutting out of ex travagances seems to have met with some approbation as giving encouragement to a tendency in the right direc tion. In endojsjfinent of it, a business man in Charlotte whose station brings him in touch with community needs, suggests as another move that would furnish comforta ble results would be for those of our people who have small sums of money at home-sumr> of from S loo un to S?,ooo-to take it to the banks with instruction to lend it out-put it in cirtWtion. This would enable many de serving people to secure needed loans and at the same time thc farmer. Secretary McAdoo is endeavoring to bring out the tied-up money of the Nation. The starting of this would be bringing interest. The bringing of money oui of hiding would do as much toward relieving the situation ol the city people as the "buy-a-bale" movement is doing for the farmer. Secretary McAdoo's ndeavoring to bring out the tied-up money of the Nation. The starting of this movement at home would bring great things to pass.
