FURTHER DISCUSSION OF COTTON QUESTION.
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.

"Immigration presents a problem

Honest Conviction.
We wish The Anderson Intelli

new editor, Mr. W. W. Smoak.
He evidently realizes the respon-]
sibility which has devolved upon
him as successor to the r'big
hcarted, big-brained William
Hanks, judging from the follow
ing taken from his "Foreword "
' Hut since this duty has been
placed upon me, I shall endeavor
to discharge it with all my soul.
The readers who shall daily scan
these columns may not lind here
many brilliant thoughts clothed
in faultier English, but they will
lind the honest convictions of one
whose every thought shall be for
the upbuilding of a? bigger and
purer city, a richer and happier
county, a prouder and more pat
riotic State. This purpose willi
underlie what shall "here be writ-1
ten, and by it 1 wish to be Judged.
Yes, 1 shall make mistakes-who
does not? I shall fall far short
of my ideals in many things, be
cause 1 am human. You, dear
reader, shall do likewise and for
the same reason. So let us not I
censure each other too severely."
Whatever other characteristics
an editor may have, unless he!
liss "honest convictions," and
dares to express them fearlessly,
his work, however*!aborious will j
ht in vain.-Lancaster Nev,.-.

F< r the best article of three
hundred words or less, written by
any white person, and submitted
to the Intelligencer befoie six
o'clock P. M. Tuesday, Oct, 12th,
a prize of a year's subscription to
tl.2 Daily Intelligencer will be
tovell absolutely free, and the
winners name and essay will be
published in the Intelligencer
Wednesday or Thursday, Oct.
1 1th, or I5th.
This essay should treat of the
loyalty of the home people to
one another in times of stress; of
?he duty of the merchants and
business men generally to assist
the poorer farmers and others in
distress; of the farmers obligations
to the merchants and banks
?vhich they should endeavor to
meet, even though the effort cost
them some sacrifices; of the
moral obligations of the farmers
and other consumers to patronize
the home merchant at this time
?nore than at any other, for the
special reason that it is thc home
merchant that we all call on in
time of stress, and not the mai1
order houses; the "pull together"
spirit of all the people of the
United States, as demonstrated
by the "Ruy a Bate" movemc?i
and other kindred plans for the
amelioration of the suffering
caused by the terrible war now
raging in Europe.
The Intelligencer will ge. some
