. "Mr. Kichards has kicked up a

Mr. Slmms said that Oov. Mease

"1 want to assert." said Mr. Kich?
ards, "that though 1 would be proud
to be kin to Senator Tillman. 1 am

u statement from Mr. Sims that he

to ill ick Mr. Kichards on his "re?

"Washington, Aug. I'o.?The problem
of saving the OOtton crop of the South
in the face of the closing of the Ku
I
ropoan cotton market! by war wua
taken up today by a Southern Cotton
congress CommltteCi which met here
in special session. Delegaten represent-1
ing the cotton Slates organised lis?
tened to memberi of congress who
outlined legislative plans for meeting
the cotton crisis, disc Used the situa?
tion and named a committee t<? thresh!
out a plan for saving the 13*600,000
hales of cotton which will soon b<
i
harvested In the cotton states.
Representative Lover of Houvh Car-1
i
ollna and Senator lloke Smith of
(Jeorgia, who have had charge of thol
legislative end of the movement to
provide federal aid to meet the sttua
lion, addressed the congress. They,
w ith Senator Ransdell of Lousiana, |
formulated the scheme which will
prohably be put through. It con?
templates the establishment of stand?
ard cotton grades, government licens?
ed cotton Warehouses and the issue
of BUfflctsnt emergency currency,
ubout $300,000,000 to he loaned on
cotton, to enable the South to hold
the surplus of the crop over until j
market conditions become more near?
ly normal.
I A flood of suggestions and plans
were proposed by delegates to the
congress. They ranged from pro
I posals that the government valorize
cotton or issue currency against it, to
plans for the destruction of half ofj
the crop, to maintain the price. All]
these plans were referred to comlt-l
tees elected by the various State del?
egations.
The congress adopted a resolution
indorsing the amendments to the
emergency currency act proposed by
Senator Ransdell, which would make,
emergency currency available on
warehouse reeipts for cotton as se-J
curity. Senator Ransdell told the eon-i
gress that although the treasury de?
partment had decided such receipts
Would he proper security under the
present law, ho, was anxious to make'
sure of it.
The resolutions committee elected]
was: 11. it. Kindt of South Carolina;
W. L. Lewis, Texas; Hugh MeKae.'
North Carolina; L. Melton, Alabama;
F. L\ l'aten, Virginia Prank Tomlin
son, Arkansas; F. S. Fthcridge. Geor?
gia, and J. Frank Adams, Florida.

Klnnon, North Carolina; Kay ItUSSell,I
Alabama; Chas W. I'cnidy, Virginia;'
Ken K. Well, Arkansas; 11. F. Stock
bridge. Georgia and J. 1 >. Smith,
Florida.
The congress also named ? com?
mittee of two members from each
of the cotton States to confer with
Secretary McAdoo of the treasury as
to the financial aspects of the sltutf-j
lb u.
The congress will meet tomorrow
to thresh out the various plans of re?
lief proposed.
When Commissions] "Watson of
South Carolina. president Of the
Southern Cotton congress, called.
the congress Wito extraordinary
session just before noon today,
he saw before him gathered In
the spacious house caucus room some?
where between 400 and 600 serious
minded, determined looking mer?
chants, bankers and cotton men gath?
ered from all over the cotton growing
States bent on their mission of sav?
ing the cotton crop from going for
a song because of the Kuropean war
situation. It. |s probable that uevtv
before has anv set uf men collie to
Washington more determined to work
Olli some plan that will save them?
selves ami their neighbors from finan?
cial loss and ruin than those who art
here now. They came from each of
the states in the South where the)
Ucee) Staple is grown und were a
most representative body uf prosper?
ous el t Isens.
Alter Mr, Watson had called the
meeting to order Iirigllt Williamson
uf Ihirllngtoii, former president oi tin
Houth Carolina Hankers' association,
moved the adoption of a resolution
prepared at the request of the people
of Huinter on the death of Mrs. Wood
row Wilson, a ferveiil prayer was
offered ami the congress was duly de
elared opened and read) for business.
.\h. Watson th< n made u brief sum
inarj of the cotton .situation since
1011, ul which time there was serious
trouble pending ami declared the rep?
resentatives of tin people in con arcs:
had started the legislative w In el
moving ami I bat it wi s up lo the gov
. linn, nt to oo t h<< rest. a fti r i e
viewtiik Ihe situation and explaining
in^t what tin- present crisis is, Mr
Wat soli said ? SVi iiiiisI make eol
ion ii security rather than a com mod
its We must build something sub
i tu at ia I from the ground up."
Senator lioke Smith of Georgia then
followed Mr. Watson and explained
What the committee of senators and
house members 11a?i been trying to du
since the European war began. He
told liboul the working of tin- Vree
land-Aldrich currency 1 ? i11 and the
new federal reserve law.
Congresman Lever of South Caro?
lina made a timely address dealing
with the agricultural aspects of the
situation and said that he knew little
of the financial and banking side of
the matter inasmuch as he was chair?
man of the house committee which
dealt with making crops and not with
financing them.
"The governors of the various cot?
ton States," Mr. Lever said, "should
convene the legislatures in session
immediately for passing a law thai
will admit of a warehousing plan."
lie then dealt at length with this sub?
ject. He said that a bill for licensing
warehouses would undoubtely be con?
sidered by congress Immediately. He
then referred to his cotton grading
bill and said that at the present time
cotton grading was done in a cure?
less manner and that his bill would
regulate the matter thoroughly.
"With x surplus crop left on hand
this year." Mr. Lever said, "we Will
be faced with the question of cutting
down the acreage next year and tins
la something that must receive atten?
tion now."
Congressman Byrnes of South Caro?
lina discussed the financial side of the
matter and said that there were three
things Which Should be dime. The
people should urge the national banks
to form national currency associa?
tions; State banks should be urged to
come into the federal reserve asso?
ciation and the federal reserve asso?
ciation should be put into operation in
October or November at the latest
At the afternoon sesion Senator
Kansdell of Louisiana addressed the
congresg. lie urged that anything like
a valorization scheme be put out of
mind. He declared that legislation
now pending would make it possible
to obtain all the money neeessar>
through regular channels ami would
permit the holding of cotton on farms
or at least in the community where it
Is raised. Ky making the Vrculand
Aldrich law apply to State banks, to
new banks that have no surplus, anil
to small banks, Senator Kansdell told
tin congress, he felt certain the
greatest obstacle in the present crisis
had been met.
As to warehouses, he said, these
could be constructed by erecting a
platform surrounded by a fence and
tarpaulins could be used for covering
the cotton.
It developed today that the cotton
farmers are now nearer out of debt
than at any time since the war and
would probably have required less
help from the banks this year than
in any previous year had not the war
come on.
South Carolina wan the first of the
States to register at 'the request of
Mr. Watson. Among those present
Were: J. Q. Anderson, Kock Hill;
Alexander Long, Hock Hill; Bernard
Manning, Sumter; E. W. Dabbs, Sum
ter; .1. W. Simpson, Sparlanhurg; T.
K. Thuckston, Bpartunburg; A. u. Cul?

house, Mullilis; M. V. Kichards, land
and industrial agent of the Southern
railway; J. B. Pride of the Seaboard
and others.
In addition to this list there were
perhaps twice as many more present
when Mr. Watson called the congress
to order and the lalmetto State men
were joined at the meeting by all the
South Caroiimi congressmen who are
now Iii' Washington.
It is apparent that while the situa?
tion is a) grave one there is a note of
optimism running through the discus?
sions being had here. "Whul we must
do." Mr. Hlackhouse said, "is to instill
the idea into the minds of the people
that the men they have seid here to
attend to this business for them arc
doing all the) cun and th.it they re
main confident and not become pan?
icky." We are doing all we can. the
congressmen are doing their part ami
the federal government will do ul] n
can to relieve the situation, i am
sure."
<?thers asked to give an expression
of opinion declared with Dr. Black?
house lhat till' people should lud lose
conlhleiice, hut remain optimistic,
hoping for the best results, only In
this way, it wim said, may the best
he had.

From New berry Committee.
i Marion, Aug. 13.?Approximately
2,000 persona heard the .senatorial
candidate! here today. There was no
semblance of disorder, each of I lie!
four speakers being accorded a re?
spectful and attentive hearing. The
meeting was held In the open on the.
court house square with .1. VV. John*
son, county chairman, presiding. The
I meeting was featured by the gov?
ernor's vindictive speech, the bitterest
I
Utterance of the campaign. He had
only come here "to rub it in,' In* re?
iterated time and again. A negro,
. Ocas, had once offered for election to
congress in this district and through?
out his speech again and again the
governor heaped his vituperation on
j the heads of the "Deasltes," as the
j chief executive termed them,
j L. D. Jennings was the first speak?
er. He launched Immediately into an
arraignment of the governor's rec?
ord, which was characterised as tl e
? "dirtiest ever made by a white man
I in any white country." Mr. Jennings
said he had heard of but three men
j who would vote for the governor this
year who didn't support the governor
two years ago. These were an editor
of a Hampton county paper, John 1'.
Grace of Charleston and John U.
I Richards. This candidate dwell much
on that phase of tin- public record
! which tended to prove that the gOV
ernor was always on the side of those
who destroyed womanhood, in criti?
cising the governor for pardoning
; Bmerson, Mr. Jennings said he would
' have signed the petition for Emerson,
too, on the condition that he take the
governor out of the state with him.
I In the discussion of the "mock
'trial" of Dr. Leonora Saunders the
chief executive was charged with
writing the resolution condemning
this woman in advance of the trial.
"What would the people of Marion
I county think of Judge Woods, if he
should come to Marlon to hold court
I with tin' decisions written out in ad?
vance," was asked. Such a record
Mr. Jennings urged, should send the
governor back to Newberry to grease
; harness and wash buggies rather than
serve as a promotion to the United
States senate. The mayor of Sunder
j was liberally applauded w hen he sa'
down.
W. P. Pollock was greeted with a
round of lusty cheers when intro?
duced.
I Mr. Pollock asked if the governor's
'refusal to appoint Democratic party
j nominees to office was strictly in ac?
cord with his principles as evidenced
In his denunciation of Haekelllsm.
j An auditor reminded Mr. Pollock
that Judge Haskell had opposed Sen?
ator Tillman.
"Yes," the CheraW candidate re?
torted, "and II. It. Tillman hopes to
Qod that we defeat Cole L. Please,
and we're going to do it."
j It was pointed out also that one
j of the governor's colonels ran for the
legislature from Marlboro county on
'the mixed Republican ticket in 1880.
! < >n election day, the speaker pleaded,
? the people should k<> to the polls and
I vote like men and not as cattle with
rings in their noses, pulled on by
sonic political machine. Mr. Pollock,
too, ?ot much appausc when he took
his scat.
Senator Smith got a rousing wel?
come from Ihe Marion people here to?
day. They cheered him to the echo
i when Introduced and persistently in-j
Misted thai he keim on speaking when
his time limit had been reached.
i
Farmers had chipped in and pur?
chased a gold-heuded cane for the
i senator. This was presented by Col.
John ('. Beliefs, who said he bad been
I commissioned to say to the senator
that they were proud Lo . ave a farm?
er in tlie IT tilted States senate, ami
that they knew he hail "kept the
faith." I!v far the major portion ol
j the audience today was composed ol'
I farmers. Senator smith's explanation
I of the new currency law , which pro?
vides thai cotton shall he accepted as
Icollateral, has doubtless not fallen on
I more willing ears. Senator Smith ex?
plained that he t'ould probably go to
Washington tonight to assist in the
liuht lor federal relief in the cotton;
, situation. He wanted the nione;
which would enable tin- farmers to
hold their cotton placed in all the
banks, both State and national, ami
,111c COtton to be stored at home, lie
did not favor the plan of having i> |
shipped ;ivv;ty and placed in bonded
warehouses. The senator did not 'M>
lieve in the restriction of immigration
He wanted aliens shut mil altogether.
Tin- speaker >-.tid that he had :i let
ler oi apology from t lie I? ndcr til one
ol the large labor organizations of thej
Slate, in which this officer ackiiowl-J
edued that he had been misinformed!
when ho iirucd that the laborers vote
tiL'ainsl Senator Smith because of hi^
attitude on Immigration.
The uo\. i 11or w ns in I ho most \ in
iliclivc mood i which he has appear*
ot\ during 111 ? * campaign The whole
object of bis \isit here today, he said
wag 'to rub it in."
He began b> reading a letter from
Jos. L. Keltt, county chairman of the
Democratic executive committee of
Xcwberry county, in a'hlch tin- gov?
ernor was cited to appear in N'ew
Iterry next Saturday und show cause
why ins name should not be stricken
From tin club roll of Ward a of New
berry. This, the chief executive ex
idained, would show how fur thie man
whom he I neu tided as a Populist, would
go to injure him He had been a mem?
ber of the Ward 5 club for more than
20 .Sems, the governor went on, and
had represented it in various waya.
.Most "f the governor's speech had to
do with " I'cashes '' those who BUP
I ported a negro for congress from this
district several years ago.
Near the conclusion of his speech
some oiu' asked the chief executive
what Messrs. Jennings and Pollock
were running for. In answer the gov?
ernor said that their names should not
be mentioned in decent company; he
never spoke to them. He had not
heard either of them speak and never
intended to. lie did not even come on
the platform with them, he explained,
lie never noticed blatherskites, who
poured out blackguardism to get into
public oflice, he answered.
The governor got two bunches of
flowers at the conclusion of his
speech.
One of the most interesting features
Of the campaign was noticed here to?
day. Stephen Turner, a white man.
who was sent up for manslaughter
under sentence of ten years in ltli
and pardoned April 0, 1014, was
; standing directly in front of the
I stand, nodding his head in approval
of the governor's every utterance.
i >nly a few feet away were sitting in
In group about 12 Confederate vet
I erans. who volunteered the informa
i
Itlon to the newspaper men that each
I was a Smith supporter.
The meeting tomorrow will be at
Conway, Horry County.
Good Stone,
careful workmen, modern machinery,
fair prices and an everlasting belief in the
