TOE SOCTER WATCHMAN, Estabfis Coasolid&tsd Aug. 2,1 C03WPLETE COT TON SURVEY American Consols to Ascertain Probable Consumption In Europe Columbia,' May 17.?A .complete survey of the cotton situation to de termine how much cotton is needed by foreign manufacturers to run' them before "he 1920 crop becomes availa?. ble will be made at once by American consuls, officials of the American Cot ton Association said' here today. This win be done in compliance with a res > ointion offered by Senator Ellison D. i Smith of South Carolina at the re quest of the American Cotton Asso-, ciation and -passed by congress. This resolution, it was stated by - cotton ^association officials here, in- j stroets the^secretary of State of thoj . United States to secure from every1 United States consul abroad, where cotton is manufactured, detailed sta tistical information concerning . cot tan; supplies on hand,.amount thatj will be needed by those manufacturers ! before the 1920 crop becomes availa ble, and use all possible efforts for the purpose of broadening the 'market for American cotton and to recom > mend plans to be adopted for the^pnr pose of opening and broadening the market:? in the. countries where they are located. **Upen the request, of the American Cotton Association." says a statement | issued by the association,."a joint res olution was recently passed which j resulted, in the census department.] making an investigation of the un- j spinnabie cotton at concentration j points: This investigation brought to Tight the startling, fact that the cot ton being shown as spiiinable cotton there was one and a quarter million bales of uhspinnable character. This reduces the visible supply of cotton in America, toxthat extent. 'This investigation which is to be made through American consuls ttb^?ad will bring to light a tremen dous 'additional amount of this cotton and an additional reduction in the world's supply of spinnable, cottomy^l 'Due to the cotton of an unspinna ble 'nature being carried and stiiP cotnrted as ? spinnable cotton, thej amount of cotton discovered by this j jiiy^?tigaTion abroad, added to the; amOUStt already discovered in Amerir I ca wtli bring to light beyond a shadow j of . a doubt the fact that the world is] **f?&ga& an ajbsplute,, cotton :famine.- i Cotton is selling far below affair val-j 'tteVra&$ upon supply and demand and-upon the price of the manufac tured." product, in fact, based upon ev ery known economic law that should j enter into or have the remotest bear ing on affair price for cotton. With supply the shortest in the "history of th;e> cotton industry, compared to the demanct, and 'with the absolute cer tainty of another short cotton crop which crop will be the shortest in the last five years, even with normal con ditions" and seasons from now on, the law of supply and demand is bound to assert itself and thus force the payment of% a fair price to-the pro ducer for his'cotton, which has been the most costly crop ever produced in the history of the cotton industry."

C., SATTJ CAROLINIANS ADOPT PLATFORM Unqualified Approval of Peace j Treaty and League of Na tions Included The Democracy of South Carolina^ ? * ,? ?. . ??? j.i in convention* assembled, reaffirms Its] allegiance to the principles of tje party announced by Jefferson and so ably represented by the leadership of Woodrow Wilson. We extend our congratulations' to the President and to the world .at large, upon his restoration to healtjl, and we wish-for him many years of. happiness and vigor. To him Strie?en down in his splendid efforts to achieve a permanent peace for the worltband the happiness of mankind, we pledge our .minds and resources to -bring about the full fruition of his hopes and magnificent work. In the leader ship of Woodrow Wilson the world has been.given an example of self-sacri fice, unselfish devotion to duty and love of his fellow men never surpass-, ed in the political history of nations. We affirm our unqualified approval of the treaty of Versailles and the league of nations provided for there in, and we condemn as unwise and as unpatriotic the attitude of those sena tors who defeated its ratification either directly or by overwhelming it with reservations that are intended to and will have the effect of nullifying it. The stand of the Republican lead ers in refusing to pc-.nit its ratiflca-1 tion exposes them to the condemnation of America -and. places them in the attitude of having betrayed the honor of theirvcountry before the world. We believe that this treaty, with .the league of nations, is the only means; by which a lasting peace and the lib erties of the weak and oppressed. naV tions of the world can be preserved; The refusal to allow this country to enter into the league of nations means the preservation of militarism, whftfh We regard not Only as ungodly but as absolutely destructive of the commer cial, economic and spiritual welfarte of mankind, and we demand that out representatives in congress use every means'in their power to* defeat such measures as universal and compulsory j military training of - our young men. j We rejoice that in this time of world ! crisis the Democracy, of America has j been able to'give to the United States (and to the world a leader through I whose wisdom and courage there was perfected, a plan which found univet1 sal commendation from men of all parties, including many of the fore most leaders of -the Republican party in the United -States, until a vicious partisanship led them to repudiate the high principles which they, them selves, beforehand had expressed and I indorsed As citizens of America, a country I which in the great war played a part J that will be always viewed by her citizens with just pride, we view with the deepest" humiliation the change of j front on the. part of these men who ; sought to destroy Woodrow Wilson i and detract from the achievements of j the Democratic party and who were willing, not only to repudiate the views which they, themselves, had former ly held but also trifle with the good faith of their country and put at haz ard the destinies of the -world. We commend the action -of. the i South. Carolina and Southern Legion in opposing the bonus and express our approval and declare that we are heartily in favor of the most liberal appropriation to those who were dis abled* and their dependents. Evils of Republican Rale. j When the Democratic party earner into power in 191.*? under the leader ship of Woodrow Wilson, it found the nation in a condition of comparative "tfidustrial and commercial depression, its financial system not functioning, and the banking system of the eoun I try in the hands of a few men at whose j will panics periodically occurred. [Banks, both national and state, failed j.with ominous frequency, causing I bankruptcy and ruin, stopping the ! wheels of industry and deterring en terprise. Farmers were denied rea jisonable ?credit for the prosecution of ! their business by the local banks; spe j cial interests were clamoring for even ; more power than that long exercised by them. These and other ills had ex . ist od for sixteen years under the Re | publican rule, without any relief. During the seven years of Demo | cratic government more constructive legislation has been enacted fbr the ! good of the entire nation than during I the 50 years of Republiean mis- j government. We^rall attention to the. ' following: i The abolition of the robber tariff' 'law that made paupers of our farm-' j ers. I The progessive income tax that. ) made the rich bear a just proportion j of taxes, taking the burden from the1 backs of the producers. The farmers loan act. that enabled: farmers- to obtain cheap money on long! time through non-taxable farm loan j bonds, ihus compelling land mort-: gage banks to lower the rate of in-1 terest.

Brown, who is being tried for murder, | and two prisoners brought from the j Ohio penitentiary, as witnesses, made] a sensational escape from the Otta-j \va jail. borers from the anti-trust act, declar- i mg labor not a commodity. The act for vocational training, giv ing our. soldiers a means for earning! a livelihood. The building of a great merchant j marine carrying our cotton and cotton goods to foreign ports in American ships and opening our Southern ports that were bottled up by Republican magnates. The anti-trust ^.ct, destroying mo nopolies. The Federal Trades Commission to destroy unfair business dealings. The great federal reserve banking act which destroyed the money trusts jmade panics impossible and enabled ius to finance the great war without a [bank failure. [ The world war was fought, financed ! and won without a scandal, and those : who were most able were made to j pay the bill. For all these we are profoundly i grateful, and .have a right to. .expect I all honest, men and women to per petuate the party in power. Then came the encroachment of for eign autocracy interrupting the peace : and progress of remedial legislation, i and our people rose in th,eir might j under the leadership of Woodrow Wil ! son. to the defense of our rights and j to *?ave Democracy for the world. Under Wilson's Leadership, j The.gallant fight made by our sol I'diers at the front, backed by every j loyal American at home won a victory ; for democracy and civilization 'that i gained the admiration, of the civilized j world. We are especially proud of [the mangnifieentj record made by the \ people of South Carolina, and by the i soldiers1* and sailors who went into the [service from this State; this State hav j ing offered over $SO,000,000 for Lib j erty loans, and gave as a free gift 'over $15,000,000 to the Red. Cross, i Y. M. C. A and other welfare organi | zatiohs. She contributed over her j allottmeht of men; the per, centage j of casualties among soldiers from j South Carolina was higher' than the j per centage from any other State; 1 nfore soldiers from South Carolina (' were awarded medal of honor than [from any other State in the Union: j 12 per cent of all the medals of honor ; that were given were won by soldiers , from this commonwealth?a wonder i ful record, which should be a source 'of perpetual pride to our people. We join in the demand of the pul S pits of this country, and of its agri f cultural interests, of labor, and of the ! great business, industrial and commer cial organizations of America, that th<> senate quit playing politics with this sacred question and give to the world the word that America is ready to i make a. trial for universal peace. We i repudiate the inferential suggestion that having joined our associates in' war in cres.ting the conditions that are : now leading them to chaos, we are to withdraw and leave them to merciless | fate in order that we might maintain j a so-called traditional state of '*iso-; lation" that we surrendered when we, went to the defense of our own rights, i and to the ah5 of struggling humanity, j If this is to be our attitude, then the ! 50.000 Americans who now sleep in France gave up their lives in vain,! aild the millions more who willingly; offered their lives for the cause that called us there, have a right to ask for what were they summoned to the colors. Era of Good Feeling. Thex Democracy of South Carolina rejoices in the great prosperity which has come to this State in the last five years, largely through the admirable legislation enacted at Washington, and it suggests the foregoing as one of the measures which should be adopt ed to preserve this prosperity and to pepctuate it. We are especially,pleas ed that along with this era "of pros perity has come an era of unpreceden ted good feeling among the people of this State, with class divisions less ac centuated than ever before in the his tory of the commonwealth, and with a universal support of those measures | which will upbuild, strengthen and ex-1 tend tho social, economic and moral agencies of the commonwealth. The Democracy of South Carolina recog nizes the obligation upon it to take, the lead in South Carolina m the pro-j motion of those measures which would 1 make for better feeling between the 1 nd Truth's." THE TRUE S< NO VOTES FOR WOMEN State Convention Rejects Reso lution Permitting Them to Vote In Primary j Columbia, May 20?The State Dem ocratic convention last night adopted the resolution committee's unfavor able report on the resolution by Sen ator Christensen, of Beaufort, pro posing to enfranchise the women of the State, by a vote of 245 to 68. The convention was polled by counties, the chairman of each delegation giv ing the vote as the name of the coun ty was called. The motion to poll the convention was made by Congress man Dominick after several hours of warm debate. Before making this motion Mr. Dominick had atempted to get the floor to speak a few words for the South Carolina delegation. This privilege was denied in conse quence of the wearied crowd. During the debate a sharp alterca tion took place between Christie Benet of Columbia and W. P. -Pollock, of Cheraw. both' former United States senators from this State and each hav ing voted on opposite sides during his tenure of office on the question. Mr. Benet is uncompromisingly against suffrage, while Mr. Pollock is an ard ent suporter. CAMPAIGN DATE FIXED Office Seekers Start on Tour of State June 22 Columbia, May 20?The executive committee met immediately after the major matters before the convention were concluded.

C, May 20?The Southern Presbyterian General As 1 semhly is meeting here this week. I people of this State, and for a sense j among all people and all classes that 'justice will prevail, and that equal ] opportunity is to be had in all lines of I endeavor. j We realize that the safety of the i republic rests in the education of its ; citizens, and we heartily indorse any and all measures of congress or our i State legislature tending to aid our ? common schools in driving illiteracy from our midst, and giving to our people full and free- education and fit ting them for life. No taxation is burdensome which brings about intel ligence and efficiency among our citi zenship. We View with satisfaction the prog ress which is being made in this State in the building of highways, especial ly permanent highways; and we com mend those acts which have been passed in congress and by our State legislature looking to the extension of this work. Open Southern Ports. We commend the action of the Na tional Shipping Board which seeks to open our South Atlantic and Gulf ports, thus relieving the congestion of the ports in the North, and we de mand that the interstate commerce commission see to it that the railroads of the country shall not return to the old policy of enabling them to bot?e up the pprts of one section of the country and open those of another by the imposition of unjust discrimina tcry rates. The action of. the Inter state Commerce Commission in this respect meets with our hearty approv al. There should be further legisla tion allocating to Southern ports a sufficient number of ships to carry the commerce which naturally grav- j itates to them, giving us rapid com- \ munication with Latin-America and; trans-Atlantic countries. We seek no j sectional advantage, but place our de- j mauds upon the broad ground of giv- j ing to the nation facilities for the! transportation of their produce and: commerce heretofore denied them. In conclusion, with a record that isj unimpeachable, with a guarantee oC honest administration of public af fairs, with its only motive to secure? the happiness of the people, the Dem-; ocratic partly confidently intrusts it* faith to the voters of the country. Let us assemble at San Francisco, proud-i :>f the grandest achievement and rec- j ord in American history, both mi peace and in war. with a united le-' termination to carry the blessings of; the Democratic party to the American: people for the next four years | through t he victory at the polls in No- j .ember.
