The paper follows:
the Press of the State:
"There is no better way to learn the
wishes, of the farmers of tho State
upon * matter affecting their interests
than discussion In tho papors. There
fore I am sending to the press a copy
of aletten to Senator E. D. Smith,
and would ask you to publish Bume,
and -would ask for such farmers as
are informed on the 8irbject to pub
lish their *'opinions. Especially dp I
ask the delegates and visitors to the
State meeting of tho Farmer's union
next week to study this question of
taxing future contracts with a vlow to
giving our senators and representa
tives light upon the subject My let
ter follows:
" 'Mayesvlllo, July 10, 1913.
V"Doar Senator Smith: Your favor
With Senator Clarke's bill for taxing
cotton contracts received. I have not
1)3&en able to discuss this matter with
tjjie farmers of the State, but will lay
1| before the State Farmor's union
n*Xt week at Charleston. Mr. Mc
Eldorry of Talladega, Ala., writes me
sad Incloses a copy of a letter he wrote
tlio New Orleans cotton exchange
stronjtly indorsing tlio measure.
" 'Without having heard tho argu
ments for the bill I must ask, Why
single out cotton? Why not grain,
coffee, cotton oil, steel rails, etc., etc.,
ad -libitum? Stocks, bonds, etc., in
fact everything- tradedV In any vol
ume in the exchanges of the country?
'I think you boat stick closo to
your bill to require the grade to be
named. In the contract, according to
standard grades, and let the govern
ment, establish tho standard of grades,
just as it does tho fineness of gold
and sliver and w.eights and measures.
Then not allow anything to be ten
dered but tho grade contracted for or
one 'better at the difference in price.
" T think Senator Clarke in his
i? zeal to make tho cotton exchnnges be
have as they should will do harm,
k With fair rules I can not see any
L thing wrong in sales for futuro de
1 livery, but when things are Juggled as
A we think they aro it is a most
1 iniquitous business. The question is
how to regulate it in tho Interest of
legitimate trading. I ought to al
lowed a freo right to trado In the
products of my labor as in my labor
ltsolf, and no ouo would attempt to
prevent mo from contracting to labor
for another at a stipulated wage for
a stipulated time?except to prevent
abuses and the oppression of the igno
rant. I think labor contracts aro
limited to one year, or the calendar
year. We see another exception in
labor unions and their employers fix
ing a labor scale for a term of years.
" 'It tho exchange are so bad that
they should be abolished, do so by di
rect act under tho general welfare
clause of the constitution. For tho
above roasons, I con not, without
more light, aprove the measure. 1
am giving out this letter that the peo
ple of the State may discuss the sub
ject. Yours truly,
" *E. W. Dabbs,
" 'President South Carolina State
Farmer's Union.'
"Mr. Eldorry, who was appointed
by the National Farmers' Union con
ference in Columbia in January to
secure the enactment of legislation
that will imake effective the standardi
zation of cotton grades, writ03 a strong
letter, ip flavor of the Smith bill, son-j

ter to, the Now Orleans cotton ex-1
change referred to above, he said, If
you would do as much to correct
abuses as you do to provoht' leglsla-j
tlon, we would not need to legislate,'
and he indorses the Clarke bill as I
understand it only as a last resort.
"I wish space would permit the pub

The Meetings at the Oespel Tent In?
teresttng Subjects Discussed Each
Night.
The meetings at the Oespel Tent,
corner of Irby and Earle streets, are
still continuing, and the Interest is
Increasing nightfly. On Tuesday
night the subject presented 'Was the
Sabbath question. Evangelist Achen
bach remarked that it was a Question
that Is being discussed everywhere
throughout the religious world, and
that it deserves a fair Investigation.
In the beginning of His remarks be
said that lu the days of the apostles
when the gospel was preached in Its
purity, it was necessary to admonish
the churches to adhere strictly to
what the bible taught. Paul in writ
ing to Timothy said "Preach the
Word". He said that the same ad
monition applies at tho present time,
and that in dealing with this question
wo want to confine ourselves simply
to what the bible toaches.
Tho speaker said in part, 'The first
test tbat calls our attention to the
Sabbath Is found In the second chap
ter of Genesis, the first three verses.
After tho Lord had finished the works
of creation, ho instituted tho Sabbath
as a memorial of creation. There are
three steps mentioned which made
tho seventh day tho Sabbath. First,
God rested. This made it God's rest
day. The next step was to bless the
seventh day. It was a particular day
that God blessed, and not every day,
and that day was the sevenUt day. The
third act was to sanctify the seventh
day, or this day that he blessed. To
sanctify is to sot apart for a holy
use. Jesus said that 'the Sabbath was
made for man.' It was set apart for
tho good of mankind. TheBe scrip
tures plainly reveal tho fact that on
ly one day in tho wook has God's bless
ing resting upon it, and that this par
ticular day God has set apart for a
religious use. It would not be ia
harmony with the bible if I were to
contend that every day was holy, be
cause God only sanctified and blessed
the one day, and that was the seventh
day."
.Many authorities were quoted in
tended to show that there is no scrip
tural authority for observing the first
day of the week.
in closing his remarks he stated
that although he was observing the
seventh day, yet he wished it under
stood that he did not regard those
differing with him In this respect as
unchristian, but that he believed that
there were good and honest men and
women in all denominations; Chris
tians who were living up to all the
light they had. But that ho believed
that when additional light comes it
brings additional obligations.
Next Sunday night the Change of
tho Sabbath will be discussed from
a bible as "well as a historical stand
point.
