Columbia, October 10:?The Gen- j eral Assembly of South Carolina is "up against" a most serious situation. I have been in touch with the legislative work for twenty-two years and never has it been quite so strikingly illustrated how serious is the burden on a body of less than two hundred men to deal with unusual and unexpected problems. The real fact is that all apparently realize that it is an overwhelming difficulty and one which necessitates, the utmost care and foresight. Of. course, some are trying to play for political position, but the great mass j ika momfuarchin rpnlizinc the I U1 111^ Uivuiw>*w.>.ri . D responsibility, is bent upon doing that which which will be for the best interests of all. For a week the members have been here thinking and working, with utter sincerity, on plans that might result in good for the State as a whole. Hundreds of plans have been proposed, fifty to seventy-five have taken shape in bills, but when the session f will have adjourned not five of the j series will find their way to the j statute books, so carefully will the j weeding out be done. At the moment only one of the series of measures that have been proposed will be enacted, and on this there has not yet been entire agreement. All are apparently agreed that the most important of any Legislation is that for the reduction of the acreage in cotton. There are four schools of thought: One wants a total elimination of the cotton crop for 1915; another wants an acreage reduction ranging from 20 to 50 per cent of the usual crop; fhe third school suggests a tax with a view of limitation, and the fourth, which is not assertive at the time, thinks Legislation unwise and that such problems belong to business and not Legislation. >E D >5,000 1 jsday, 0 ;n on next Wedne mber 7?Sixteen people of William d Children's Shoe; oes cut open in or it Shoes! } several hundred it Shoes to close out ices.

R?*A OUll Lit V I The result will likely be a com j promise. The special committee o: the House now at work framing i bill will submit the proposed bill t< the central committee on Monday but in the meanwhile the centra committee has outlined to Messr Belser, Wyche and Mower that i wants a bill based upon the idei that no farmer shall plant mor< than a third of his total crop in cot ton. The one-third idea will b< coupled with an acreage option The idea is that some farmers migh with a single animal plant thirty acres, while another can only handh eighteen acres, therefore the optior will be six acres of cotton to th< animal. One-third of the acreag< in cotton or six acres of cotton tc the animal is the central idea of th( proposed bill. As to the method of enforcemenl the central committee is not yel agreed, but it will be either by pen alty, which is to be enforced by at taching a lien to the cotton, or bj making over-planting a misdemean or. If any cotton reduction bill i: nac?>H it will be this or something FMWWV -- - closely akin. There is another angle to thi; question that is giving deep concerr to^any thinking Legislators. Tht Assembly will say cut the cottor acreage and then the question will be what are we farmers to do with our lands? What the farmers will want to know is not plant wheat, or plant oats, or grow clover crops for cattle, but how and when and what is to be done with the crops when grown. The farmer will need specific and immediate information and how he is to get it is a collateral problem that Legislators are asking, if they are to "cut out" cotton. Folk need give tnemselves no further worry, if indeed there has been any, about the adoption of a stay law, moratorium or enactment along this line. It will hardly be possible to pass it over first base. The same has already occurred to the suggestion of postponing the time for the payment of taxes. This suggestion was intimately tied up with the Piles Cured in 6 to 14 Days Your druggist will refund money if PAZO OINTMENT fails to cure any case of Itching, Blind. Bleeding or Protruding Piles in 6 to 14 days. The first application gives Ease and Rest. 50c.

The McLaurin warehouse bill is ir ? jeopardy. One trouble is that i . somewhat kindred measure has here t tofore been defeated, and while il r appears in different form, it is en ? cumbered with previous failure. Th( 1 House committee submitted a di i vided report, the majority being un i favorable. The bill will have a hare > time to pass,and if anything be don< ? on a warehouse proposition it will be along the line, of leasing or undert writing, but the State is not going t into the warehouse business at this - time, judging- from the present tern . per of the serious-minded Legisla r ture. The State reserve bank plan sub ; mitted by the Ways and Meanslcom r mittee is the most unexpected legislation proposed. The idea comes 5 from Mr McLeod of Charleston anc i has in the main been accepted by the > committee and a general bill has ! been framed and submitted along i these lines. Whether the proposed i notes to be issued by the State reI serve bank, in the aggregate of sis millions, will be exempt from the 1C per cent Federal tax on notes or ; circulation, other than Federal bank 1 notes,is rot certain. If the notes are to be counted as circulation by national banks they will perhaps be 4... a, 4 ? k,,4 5-P fka,. ova tf, llclUlt? LU tliC La A, UUL IA. vnej MIC IV be cotton notes they will hardly be liable to tne tax, but the question is ' how far they would be available for . deposit in banks. It is a striking . plan that has much merit, but one 1 which can hardly be worked out over-night. In the Federal reserve banking system all national banks must belong to the system. Under the proposed act it is optional with State banks whether they will participate or not. This will not add strength to the State system. >NSTF f Shoes to Satur n I Ctl Aa C o I P I C5[JCLldI 4JHUC ?JUI^. ae Selling.
