Til K SPKAKKH3 Senator Laney dwelt at length upon the importance of the farmers' familiarizing themselves with the needs of the noil, and fertilizer formulas intended to fill that want. If the highest efficiency is realized, he said, the farmer will find it necessary to mix his own fertilizer. His entire speech was meaty and manifested a tlx iwugh mastery of the subject. The Advertiser will have more to say along this line at another tinic. Mr. Stevenson is well versed in the cotton situation and the efforts being made to effect a remedy. He commenced hip remarks with a review of the conditions that developed in the South at the breaking out of the war last August. The situation, said the speaker, was one which 5 called lor courageous action on 6 the part of the chief executive, I ill Gov. hlease had the cour uge to call an extra session of the general assembly. He said that the extra session resulted ' in the passage of the State 1 Warehouse Law,which law alone I justifies the action of the gover. tinr in r?nl li OCT ovlrn nAonl/v? r uv/t iii VMIIM'6 i no c ,\i i n rconiun . j tie said that the warehouse bill . was passed in the face of the . most powerful opposition from the cotton buyers, the banks, and the cotton mills, who saw the possibility of so much of the profit they arc now getting out of the handling of the cotton crop being paved to the producers. Mr. Stevenson reviewed the State bond proposition, which received so much attention at the ban/* of the general assembly and was discussed through> out the State last October, lie t, gave full oredit for the i lea to I J. K. Henry, of Chester. He explained how the bond proposition provided a means ' whereby the State undertook to lend the farmers 9 cents a i pound on cotton which was then ) bringing only a little more than r (? cents, and how it was intended to use the credit of the State to ' help the farmers out of their dif lieu 11 y He told how the bankf ors of the State turned againt the bill and set tho daily papers to fighting it. when it was decided that, the bonds should be loaned directlv to tho r?whpm r?f cotton in ft way thac would give preference to tlie smaller grow crs and renters. lie showed that if the hill had become a law, all of the $24,000,000 worth of bonds could have been retired on the legitimate market in May with the farmers of South Carolina 3 having about $8,000,000 profit to k their credit. , Mr. Stevenson insisted that the feasibility of the whole plan " had been proved beyond quest tion. lie discussed at some length the controversy between a tho United States and England j as to cotton, lie said he did not believe in this war business but ? he did believe in this country 4 protecting its rights, r TilK 0AMK8 * Oheraw and Chesterfield crossed bats in two games on tms day, one in the forenoon and one in , the forenoon.
