Males in Charleston number 32,SK and females 3d,117. Ten vears ago there were 4,000 more women than men, but t<*n years ago women could not vote. A bill providing for the dispensing of three pints of liquor monthly in South Carolina for medicinal purposes, instead of the one quart allow2d under the present law, was introduced by Mr. Sapp, of Richland, and referred to .the committee on judiL-iary. The intoxicants are to be sold under the regulations prescribed by Lire United States Government.

Much interest in the election was manifested by the women, a great niajority of those registering casting their ballots. Hopes of free ranee for cattle and hogs in Georgetown county went Wintering in thc house of representatives, when the members voted 51 to to strike out the enacting words of the measure, which was intended tc exempt Georgetown county from the operations of the state law.

WANNAMAKER WRITES OF DOINGS IN COLUMBIA I The Chesterfield Advertiser, , Chesterfield, S. C. Dear Mr. Editor: The second week of the legislative session has closed with news of no great importance to be reported. The committees art getting to work on thoir rpnnrtc ni^ voeinn- kill- 1 - vw VM ?U1 IVUO UIU."/ I tic ritui to them. The Ways and Moans committee of the House is impressed with* the necessity V>f reporting out as quickly as posible the annual appropriation bill, and is now meeting regularly at nine-thirty to eleven in the morning and also at night. The House generally convenes at eleven in the 1 ( morning and works until two or three t o'clock in the afternoon, and next ! week, or as soon as necessary, will hegin night sessions. The Jud'cia-y committee meets every afternoon at four o'clock. ? The Senate ahd House have not yet agreed on the tax extension proposi- . tion. The Senate has passed a bill leaving the one oer cent. penalty ?n for January, and extending the time | without further penalty until April I 1st. The House has passed a bill, after I a very mixed up and complicated discussion, leaving a heavier penalty, i (said penalty supposing to about take care of interest charges during the time the state is without the money), but granting a little ffirther time before execuions are issued. The matter will be thrashed out. tfiio ?n> >t the Senate bill come? before the House. Some of ths bills, usual and unusual to be taken up by the Legislature are: To do away with Truant Officers and let their dirties be per-formed by County Superintendent of Education and Trustees of schools; To punish by imprisonment only the violations of the liquor law; To give t^vi Trustees of the University of S. C. the power to decide on fraternities being allowed at our University; To practically prohibit pool and billiard rooms; To give the women the right to vote as provided by our Federal Constitution; To make more drastic the punishment for carrying concealed weapons; a^d to change the Constitution by abofishing the three mill levy for school purposes. An interesting bill before the Judiciary committer test week was one *o give the*LalrtJford, 'n addition to his prior lien rent which does not have to be in writing and recorded, a prior lien for advances even if same is not in writing nor recorded. The effect ol the bill would be that the merchant could never do business with the tenant except when the Landlord permitted it, and would have enabled the Landlord,(Being without competition) iu tnaigc cAtcBsivc prices icr iavances..This bill is very pernicious, and would have almost resulted in the slavery of the tenant, but same was reported unfavorably by the committee and subsequently killed on the floor of the House.

Mr. Editor, there is one question I would like to ask and that is this, why is it that cotton seed will not pay as much as they would fifteei> or twenty years ago under our crop. The farm papers all advise the farmer to swap his seed for meal. I do not ask this for an argument, but for information. The Ladies' W. M. U. will meet at at David's Grove on Thursday before me urn sunaqy, being the 3rd day of February. A full attendance is desired. Let all of the members be on hand. The farmers have started their stalk cutters preparing1 for another crop, but not a big cotton crop, we hope.

It has been figured that if all of the farmers will agree not to plant more thnn onethird of their cultivated lands in cotton the total acreage reduced will be around 50 per cent. "There are many farmers who have not been planting over one-third of their cultivated lands in cotton for the past several years," says tre statement issued by the asso;iatioi:. ' The pledge, of course, docs not require that they mak0 any further cut in their cotton acreage unless they do sire so to do. There are many farmers, however, who have been planting nearlv all of thnir hin/la ?> ? ? ...... .?? *.?o in wbtun anu | the great majority of them have been planting at least 50 per cent. The committee which considered the matter very carefully found after a study of the situation that if all farmers would agree to plant only one-third of their lands in cotton that the reduction of acreage over the byl'; would aggregate 50 per cent. "We are delighted to r.'port that the farmers of South Carolina ave signing the pledges unhesitatingly. They realize the fact that another large crop would mean financ'al disaster to the South and while it might seem at lirst blush that to plant only one-third of their lands in eotton would entail a hardship on them, a little study of the situation convinced them that the hardship would not be as great as to plant more cotton and be able to get nothing for it ne/t fall. "The following figures which i -ve been prepared by the cotton acienge reduction committee at Memphis, Tenn.,will, we believe convince every one that a drastic acreage reduction is an absolue necessity. "The ten-year average amount of American cotton on hand unspun at the begginning of each fiscal your is 1,200,000 bales. "At August 1, 1921, beginning present fiscal year, according to Hester ,the unspun American cotton on hand was 0,080,000 bales. "The probable amount of American cotton on hand unspun on July 21, 1921. as now indicated, will be more than 9,000,000 bales or 3 000,000 larger than any amount ever carried over before. "The greatest consumption of all kinds of cotton ever known in a single year was less than 21,000,000 oales. "The greatest consumption of American cotton ever known in a single year was less than 15,000,000 bales. "The ten-year average consumption of all kinds of cotton .including Am erican, prior to the great war was 17,560,000 bales. "Consumption of all kinds of cotton 1919-20, United State5? census figures, was 18,181,000 bales. "An American crop of 13,000,000 bales in 1921 would indicate a world supply of all kinds of cotton ,including American, of 29,000,000 bales. "The world carry-over may reach a total of, or may exceed 13,000,000. "The world during the presr.t fiscal year is not likely to consume more than 15,000.000 bales."
