CUT COTTON PRODUCTION. Strong Address to Fanners Issued by Union Executive Committee. At a meeting of the Slate executive committee of the farmers' Union, held in Columbia last Tuesday, the following address, prepared by Slate President 11 arris, was issued; "Why should the farmers he alarmed over the cotton situation when cotton is scarcer than il has been for 30 years, and there are more people to wear clothes than ever before in the history of the world? There is a cry on every hand that the mills are curtailing their products. Why, bless your heart, the Tnills will have to curtail as there is not enough cotton to go around. There is a shortage of 1,000,000 bales in the world's supply 4,000,000bales less than is actually needed. That means that the mills must curtail 25 per cent, be cause of lack of cotton. Now, don't bo frightened by the curtailment cry. It's from necessity and not choice. "Suppose you have but eight ears of corn to feed to your horse. It would be out of the question for you to feed ten ears. You wouldn't have the corn. You would have to curtail to eight. Tint's the condition of the mills. They lack the cotton to run on full time. "It is a fact that cotton is scarcer now than it has been in 30 years, and it stands to reason that goods will also bo scarcer in proportion. Hp to a few ^months ago the demand for goods was ?u> great that they could not be sup plied. Many milU had sold their output [up to July 1. The mills have had a custom of laying up a large surplus of [goods in warehouses, but at present there is no such surplus. The stock lore is daily diminishing. It is true Hit some mills have stopped, but that invariably done to make repairs on kchinery or to put in new machinery, n'ch is very essential to their future success. Along with the curtailment cry comes the information of new mills being built. "Our mill men are good business men and cannot be blamed for stopping their mills when they cannot make ir profit. It is good business judgment to do so. "The producer should use the same business sense and curtail his produc tion when there is no profit. Every farmer should cut his cotton acreage at least 35 per cent, and plant food crops instead. This will solve the problem and give the farmer a profit. "The holders of spot cotton are urged to bear in mind that the shortage of 1,500,000 bales in the world's- supply in itself means a curtailment of 25 per cent. It also means that cotton goods will be higher than they have been in years. Show your wisdom now by planting at least 25 to 35 per cent, in ocas, as there Umore money in a good pea eTr>p than There is in cotton, no .uralter what the price of either. "In conclusion, let me urge you to hold on for the maximum. Curtail your present crop and raise all your home supplies and success is yours, The maximum is not unreasonable and .should be had.

SEVERAL BUILDINGS ASSURED. $400,000 Appropriation for Federal Buildings in This Slate Likely. Washington, April 23. -While The News and Courier correspondent is not in a position to give exact information regarding what Congress will do when the public buildings bill is reported to morrow for Orangeburg, Alken, New berry, Darlington, Gaffney, I.aureus, Union, Anderson, Sumter, Columbia, Edgefield, Abbeville and Camden in the way of Federal buildings, it is assured that of the places named seven or eight will get direct appropriations. Three will be taken care of to a small extent and the others will not. share in the ex penditure of public money this year. The total amount that will go to those places is said to be a little over $400, 000. This information is believed to be cor rect, but until the bill carrying the dif ferent amounts is formally reported more definite information cannot be given. ? With more than $400,00,0 being ex pended in South Carolina next year for labor and materials of different kinds it should go far towards giving trade and employment to those suffering from the present money depression should it con tinue until that time. It will mean also | that one of the stubbornest lights Speaker Cannon has ever put up against any appropriation bill has been won.?News and Courier. Stop the Strenuous Life Weakens the Tissues ami Lessens Or ganic Vitality. The stress and strain of the strenu ous life in both city and country tends i towards stomach troubles.
