Cotton is low and so are the prices now advertised by the merchants. it. is thought -by many that the .law curtailing the acreage to' be planted in cotton is 'unconstitutional and will not be sustained by the courts. This anny be true, but it Is highly probable that should a case come before the courts a determined effort will be mado to show that the law comes un der the head ot "Police Regulations" .and should be sustained. The effort will be made at least to show that the conformance to this law will make it easier to exterminate the boll weevil and army worm and preclude the pos tibiliy of over production, which which brings dilsaster to the entire countrcy.

JOHINSON Proanilnet GreeOnville Man First to An. notulc Himself as in for Congress In 1916. Greenville, Dec. 7.-B. A. Morgan, a well-known attorney of Greenville, has arn .,tunceid his candidacy for the Iositiot as ( ougressman from this dis. tilet in the am a'j'a ign of 1916.

Mor gan is an attorney and president of the Bank of Commerce in this city; In addition he has been engaged in politics and has made a reputation for himself in the state. He was three times a nieiber of the General Assembly each time win Ing with great ease over his conpelti tors. Ii the legislature Mr. Morgan iade a vigorous fight for tihe pas sago of the local option law in place of the old dispensary system. By ills struggle lie succeeded in massing it through the house but it stuck in tile senate. After the tight on the bll, the friends of Mr. Morgan urged hIs candidacy for gubernatorial honors. Ilowever as M. P. Ansel was an an rounced candidate for the position, he .refused. Ills reason 'or doing 11his was because he had once been conilect.ed in a law office with IC:x governor .nsel, who had befriended ili.. The ticket however for which lie stood was successful, which fact made his friends think that he would have had excellent chances at the office. Mr. Morgan announced that ho would 'give out his platform at a later date. It is his intention how ever of standing for those principles which are for the interests of the people. Many of his supporters and friends confidently prediot that he will be an unusually strong contend er for honors in the next congres sional contest. Mr. Morgan is a native of Pickens county. Raised on the farm lie has had to fight his way through the world on his man, lie studied law in thij city in the office of Willis and Orr. He has decided political ideas and undoubtedly will conduct a very vigorous camipaign. Many of his friends in the city are enthusiastle about his candidacy. MAY MOVE 1EliE. lRev. .. 1.
