The following important call "to the
cotton growers of South Carolina" has
boon issued:
I have boon requested to call moeting
OF tho cotton growers to meet in COlum-
bia, S. c., on Tuesday, September 20,
1898.
1t is requested that every county in
this State sond delegates to this c0nvon-
tion.
Tho county organizatiOn.in each county
is requested to meet and elect dologates.
Where it is impractcablo to call q mass
meeting, tho county presidents arc ro-
Quosted to SEQ to it that a delegation
comes to tho State convention. Where
thore is no organization those Interested
are most earnestly requested to co-opc-
rate with tho ciork of court of said
to interest Themselves at least to tho
extent of seoing that their counties arc
represented.
This meeting will take steps that will
DO of inestmablo benefit to every cotton
grower in this State.
Tho Hon. Hector d. Lane having died, !,
his successor has beed named, by election
of Col. Maxwell, of Louisiana, to fln said
Office.
At conference in Memphis, a commit
too from each State was appointed to
negotiate for money, whereby liens on
tho present crop would bo takon up and
tho bulk of tho crop of this year hold off
for go or so days, and perhaps longor.
which, it is hoped, will forco prcsont
prices up.
The big crop that is now predicted is
liablo TO doprcss present prices. Tho
producer has tho key to tho situation il

to tho State convention.
Every daily and weekly newspaper in
this State is respectfully requested to
give publicity to this call, and to assist
the cotton growers in this undertaking.
The importance OF doing something to
reliovc tho prosont depressed price is
urged as tho reason for calling tho con-
vention at so carly date. Let every
cotton grower interost himself enough
to SEQ that his sortiOn 10 represented.

Arts Confederation, and 1t will be unvell-
cd on the anniversary of MIR. Hunts birth
In Brattleboro, October 81, 1923.
1t is hitting that this tribute should be
paid to the genius and character of Mr.
Hunt; for he created some of the most
noteworthy structures of his period. In
addition to the Lenox Library he design
ed the pedestal for the Bartholdi sta
tue of Liberty, the Administration
Building at the Columbian EXPOSE
ton in Chicago, the First Presbyterian
hospital, the New York Tribune building,
the famous residence of Mr.. w. X. Van
dcrbilt, the Marquand chapel at Prince
ton and the Scroll and Key building at
Yale University. He is credited with hav-
ing exerted an important influence In the
elevation of American architecture, and
he was largely instrumental in the found
ing of the American Institute of Arch-
tccts. His skill and genius made him fa-
nous on the other side of the Atlantic,
and no received marked honors from
abroad, among them the Queens gold
medal of tho Royal Institute of British
Architects and the cross of the Legion of
Honor. Throughout his successful and
brilliant career he ever remained proud
of his native commonwealth, and tho
State which he did so much to honor will
continue to pay grateful tribute to his
deeds and to his memory.

garding loans in general there would
seem to be good argument for the exemp-
ton of loans on real estate by savings
banks at a rate much lower than the
legal or market rate, as contemplated by
Senator Smiths projected law. Savings
banks now pay to the State a tax of
seven-tenths of one per cent annually
upon the average amount of their de-
posits, including moneys received as
trustee under order of court or other
wise, deducting therefrom the average
amount of capital and accumulatlons in
vested in United State government bonds,
the average amount of the assessed valu-
alton of real estate owned by the cor
poration and also the amount OF indi-
vldual deposits in excess of $500 each
listed in to the depositors in towns Of
this State where such depostors reside.
The exemption of money loaned on real
estate at per cent by savings banks
would, therefore. mean the loss to the
State as u whole of less than seven-
tenths of one per cent on the amount so
loaned. On the other hand 1t would en-
courage savings banks to loan money in
this state, and it would be step I'm the
direction of the cheaper capital which is
ono Of the objects sought by the Vermont
Development organization. This would
mean u large saving TO tho farmers of
the state, who are compelled to borrow
money, and 1t would also encourage new
enterprises
In passing any legislation it is to be
borne in mind that there is u general
downward tendency in rates of interest
throughout the country, and ii hxing the
rate at which money loaned shall he
exempt caution should be used to have
tho amount sufficiently below the legal
or market rate to render the arrange
mcnt an equitable one for ali concerned.
Whether or not the rate of interest now
established by law is too high in view
of the prevalence Of lower rates in other
parts of the country is a question which
will also bear consideration But what
ever method is to be adopted. the fact Is
not to be overlooked that Vermont seri-
ously needs cheaper capital, which means
a lower rate of interest than at present
/ for the borrower.

The biennial report of Adjutant General
Peck Is n brief and succnct document.
The General reports marked Improvement
IN target practice and drill on the part of
the National Guard. and notes the impor-
tant facts relating to Nermonts part
in the war with Spain. He says that no
finer body of men ever left the State than
our Vermont regiment, every man on the
rolls being present for duty when they
departed for Chickamauga. lie recon-
mends that second regiment of eight
companies he organized, the battery to be
changed to infantry and form one OF the
companies; that the money expended by
the Vermont officers and men, on the ex-
petition to Washington. to attend the in
auguratlon of President Mckinley, and
on the trip to New York, to take part in
tho Grant memorial parade, be refunded
to them. The report of Quartermaster
General Gilmore, appended with others to
the adjutant generals report gives the
cost Of the improvements on the permanent
campground, including storehouse, kitch-
ems, fencing and grassing the ground, as
SS4S7; of which amount s2ol5 was received
from private contributions of citizens of
burlington. The expenses of mobolizlng
the First Vermont Regiment for the war
with Spain, he says cannot be reported al
this early date. The current expenses of
the militia, for the two years. amounted
to $l3436,

While, he says, 1t is not assumed that tho
citizen soldiery, comprising the National

The men are hollow-cheeked and miser-
able. Most of them are in rags, took II

foot. They have not received n penny of
pay since their arrival in Porto Rico, so
they cannot even buy food
A volunteer writes the Army and Navy
Journal:
I'VE have $500 sick out of 10,O0o-but
that's nothing. We are in beautiful Por-

pours, where the Porto Rican As cent
