I Laughing draws the corners of the b mouth up; crying pulls them down, t iESUME OF SPECIAL LEGISLATIVE SESSION. VHAT EXTRAORDINARY SESSION HAS DON*2 AND LEFT UNDONE. Columbia, November 1:?In less ban a dozen lines of a newspaper olumn is condensed ninety-five per ent of the legislation that will find :s way to the statute books of the tate, as a result of the extraordiary session of the General Assemly now drawing to a close. Here > the crux of the legislation: * "It shall be unlawful for any erson, by himself, his agents or mployees, to plant or cultivate in lis State in any year a greater -^^"f nf lonri in nnttnn Li III ur 1 VI a?,I CO KJ JL iuuu 1U VVVWM 1 ian one-third of the total acreage f land planted and cultivated in all rops by such person in said year, lcluding grain and fall sown crops, lanted the preceding fall or win?r." There is not much to the law in erbiage, but if it be enforced it will lean the agricultural revolution of le State. The enforcement is in ie hands of the farmers themselves; nose who wanted total elimination nd limitations as to how many bales f cotton might be raised to the nimal. The State has simply said nat for every ten acres of cotton ne farmer plants that he must plant ' - - ii _ i*. _ J iventy acres in gram or came iooa r truck. It matters not what the rop i3, but two acres of something Ise must be planted to every acre f cottor If the law be enforced, nd the enforcement be in the hands f the communities, it will mean a ew era in cattle raising, for one hing. Many think the constitutionality f the act is doubtful. Governor llease put this foot-note on the aet, fter he had approved it: "Constiutional or not, we will try it." 'hat is the sentiment of many and ; is regarded as being justifiable in he agricultural crisis of the State. It is to be noted that the act? hrough the suggestion of Mr Belser, i quite plain that only cultivated and is to be counted. The act is now of effect and if the 'armers' Union and other agriculural organizations want to put heir hand to something effective lere is a chance. This acreage reduction act is what rill live in the history of the State, a the overshadowing work of the xtraordinary action of the special ession. The State warehouse plan is not o enthusiastically popular. It bareV "skidded" through the Legislate grind and if it had its course to :o again would not be among the >cts of the special session. It is aleady a "lame duck." Suggestions .re being made that it can be amendd at the regular session of the Genral Assembly to be held in a couple f months, but this is doubtful. If Commissioner McLaurin can pull he system to the front he will deerve much credit. Of course, everyone is keenly inerested in the cotton bond issue. It s a political puzzle. It has been aid that political history as well as i true history of a war should not >e written until the lapse of fifty ears. It would not do quite so oon after the passage of the now amous cotton bond act to write fhat is heard and what may or may lot be the real history of this Legslation. There are many reports nd rumors as to why this or that pas done and all the more reason phy the real history of the Legislaion had better be written when eal patriotism can be separated rom selfish motives; when "playng politics" can be divorced from iublic duty and when the mellowing ffect of time will have had its way; hen someone ought to write the eal history of this most remarkable iece of Legislation, that came as a hock and surprise to the people. Governor Blease called it at first a huge joke." Now he realizes hat whatever may have been its enesis, that it is beyond that stage, have no doubt that many memers were sincere in their purpose o serve their State in proposing and urging the cotton bond issue, | J : hut the chances are that it will never get to the voters. At this writing the chances for the issue to go regularly to the vot; ers are remote, but with the tickets i senc out by direction of the Senate, i in anticipation of the approval or i action of the Governor, there is liable to be much confusion, and it certainly behooves those interested to keep a close watch on what is done at the ballot boxes on Tuesday. It is held that if the Governor holds the act until any time Tuesday without his approval, under his constitutional rights, that there can be no election on the cotton bond question. This is not the first time in Legislation that important measures have ' expired by the operation of time. Many and many a bill has died on the Calendar simply by a fight to keep from acting on it, either affirmatively or negatively. This is perhaps extending the old saying that "All is fair in love and war"?and politics. There is a general demand for a full vote in the election on Tuesday. It is not so important in the matter of the election of State and county officers, but for many reasons it is important that the total vote should be large- and that everyone who can should go to the polls and vote upon the constitutional issues, and that the Federal election tickets should in all instances be cast. There will be in all about forty acts that will go to make up the volume of acts of the special session. More than 75 per cent are strictly and absolutely local matters, the most important of the general matters being cotton reduction, warehouse and the Clifton three-box law.?August Kohl in News and Courier. .*. BENSON BRIEFS. Little Human Interest Stories ol Dally Life Briefly Told. (Received too late for last week's issue). Benson, October 28:?The many friends of Mr Samuel A McCullough regret that he decided to leave his native heath and cast his lot amongst the folk of Aiken county. After selling his place to Mr Dexter Brown, Mr McCullough and his family left for their future home Friday of last week, where Mr McCullough will pursue his vocation of school-master.

It seems that there is another "bumper" cotton crop made this year. Assuming that the European war had not come to pass, we should have been "up against" a low price proposition, anyhow. The plans of diversification, elimination and acreage reduction are time-worn subjects. The attention of the farmers has been repeatedly directed to this very thing that has happened with the price, and now they are face to face with a situation that requires no legislation to regulate, for they are "in the hole," * - 1 * fll J..? ana tnis in liseu win reuutc uca?. year's crop. The fertilizer people, the merchants and the banks could advance safely but little until the present obligations are paid^ With few exceptions we (the farmers) could, beginning to-day, gather enough home-made manures properly sheltered from the rain to spread liberally over our entire cotton crop, then with the addition of acid and kainit.both of which are cheap, we could live on six-cent cotton. All the planters know that the fertilizer bill takes the profit from the industry. Anyway, it appears that way from this angle of observation. WES. Mortuary.
