A Question Of Privilege.

When a man holds cotton because he
has good reasons to believe that the
price will go higher he has diseased
or hopes that it will go higher and has
no other reason for doing so except that
he does not need the money, he is exer-
cising privilege that no one has any
right to blame him for.
In our judgement all speculation Is
unsafe business. If a man owes money
and has anything to sell it is best to
sell it and apply to the debt. 1t re-
leaves the other man and makes things
easier all round. II he does not owe
any money it does not matter. You
are pretty safe so long as you are out
of debt.
AS to the advisabllity of selling cot
ton at the present prices we have no
suggestions to make. We have never
sesn any one whose opinion was not
oftener wrong than right, the only
trouble is how TO tell when it is the one
Street are more often wrong than the
one horse farmer because they often
change their minds with every tick of
the wire and the man who Is bull to-
day may be bear tomorrow.
The evidences are that there Is very
little cotton being put on the market
just now, which indicates that the low
price has not demoralized the farmers
or the banks and we trust that reac.
tion will take place and we may yet get
a fair price for our cotton. But 1t will
be wiee to remember that 1t is good
business to sell commodity when you
can realize good margin above the
cost.

letter is as follows:
DR.. A. j. McKelway, Assistant Secre-

tion. Charlotte, N. o.:
My Dear Mr.. McKelway: 1 am in
receipt OF your letter of the goth ulti-
mo, which reached my office during
my absence, and this is the frs. oppor-
tunity have had to give it my atten-
tion. 1t Is needless for me to tell you
that 1 have read your communication
with great interest. The phases Fl
the subject you discuss are of serious
import to the Southland especially is
this true Of South Caroline, where
the magnitude OF our cotton mill inter.
ests Is greater than that of any other
Southern State.
For several years the question of
child labor In the cotton mills was se-
rlously discussed by the people OF our
State and the consideration given to
the subject showed that its importance
was fully realized. In my campaign
for governor two years ago advocated
the settlement Of this question by the
passing of law known as "the Mar
shall bill," this law prohibiting, the
first year, all children under ten years
of age from working in the cotton
mills, with similar restrictions, respec.
lively, the second and third years for
children under eleven and twelve
years of age.
AT the annual session of our general
assembly in 1908, such law was en-.
acted and has been effective from that
time. This law is giving general sat
isfaction alike to mill owners aud to
the operatives, and no complaints
from any source regarding it's admins.

every reason to believe that satisfac-
tion with this law in our State will
continue, aud cannot but think that
it would be unwise to disturb existing
conditions by increasing the age limit
from twelve to fourteen years. as is
suggested in your letter.
While these are my convictions re.
garding this law, must admit that
the educational aspect of your pro.
posed plan appeals to me most strongly
Should any change be made, however,
it is my belief that such changes
should include our entire educational

LAURENs. &. c.. Dec. IA, 1904.
The Plat. Bill.

Senator Platt OF New York has in
troduced Bill In Congress to reduce
the number Of Southern members Of
the House OF Representatives. The
ground taken is that the disfrauchised
citizens should not be counted in ap
portioning members of Congress to
population. This Is plainly absurd.
When the apportionment is made each
ten years, after the census has been
made, the women and children are In
cluded. Never has the law been to
apportion to State number of Con-
gressmen according to the number OF
the States voters.
However, we do know that the South
would suffer materially even IL de-
prived of 10 or 20 members Of Con-
gress. Under present conditions the
South is always in minority and in
large affairs the Congress of the Uni
ted States legIslates towards the South
quite as though it were foreign but
tributary province. Congress fings TO
of appropriations but the great fiscal
laws, such as the tariff schedules, are
devised for the purpose Of extracting
an unfair share Of revenue from the
Southern people. One Of the reasons
that pension appropriations are main
tained at SO high figure is that the
money is nearly all distributed in the
North. The extravagant pension sys-
tenn Is grounded on no especial love
for the Yankee veteran. The North
understands that it offers an easy and
smooth device for transferring money
from the South to Northern pockets.
Should the Plstt Bill become law,
which is not at all likely, the remain-
ing Southern Congressman would have
each little more territory to look after.
South Carolina member would be ex-
pected to beg at the departments for
rural routes for larger number of
counties and he would be expected to
distribute seeds over a larger area.
1t may be further remarked that
many II not most OF the Southern Con-
gressmen we have would not be missed
save by some of the people in their own
QlSGrlCGS.
OF course member of congress
should be a legislator for the United
States and not q miserable beggar for
free rural routes and appropriations. At
ten'ion to such district affairs should
be his duty but not his main duty. Yet
most of our congressman amount to
nothing except as mendicants and, it
must be confessed, the people seem
to like them in that capacity. II We
had half dozen of the John
Sharp Williams kind in congress from
this State the cutting down of repre-
senation would mean much more. But
1t has been long time since South
Carolina sent such man to Congress.
Meanwhile il John Sharp Williams
were living in this State today any
''good fellow" with an aptitude for
Misunderstanding and remembering faces
could beat him for Congress.
