BdffIeShip South Carolina.

President Roosevelt and the Sec
rotary of the navy got together not
long since and decided to name one
OF the new battleships South Caro-
lima, the building of which was au-
thorizcd and provided by the last
congress. This ship is to be the
largest, finest and fastest ship in
the United States navy. To Hon.

Reign of Hing Cotton.
BY W. NJ. FOSTER.


King Cotton is sovereign bold,
Iias relgned supreme since days of old
Lately traders of base design.
Are trying his reign to undermine.
His products sold before they're made,
BY future dealers, now called trade;
Low gambling is better name,
Much more legitimate and sane.
His subjects to his rescue come,
Like angry bees about their gun:
Breast works OF cotton now they make,
In solid phlanax watch and wait.
Without his staple mills stand still,
Nor any future orders fill;
Nations are fed and clothed by him,
Eyes that cannot sec this are dim.
Wake up, farmers, together cling,
You cannot do better thing;
United you'll stand, divided you'll fall i,
Act in concert, tits best for all.
Farmers, don't fail to heed advice,
Ra,sc corn, vegetables and rice;
Potatoes, ycrything you use,
This is right none should refuse.
Raise sugar cane and all your meat,
Prosperity your heart will greet;
Independence will be your own,
AS free people as ever known.
Lessen the crop of the fleecy king.
And this will greater profit bring;
Greed fills the world with ev'ry ill,
For avaricc is hard to fill.
Farmers, don't fail to back your king.
To his altar sweet incense bring:
To counsel good always heed,
Clothe the naked, the hungry feed
The highway to success below,
Is trust in God wherc'cr you go;
Without His aid our aims arc lost,
Pray think awhile, and count the cost

FARrfERS MASS MEETING.
Hold to Your Cotton and Re-
duce Acreage the Watch
word.

president of the Union County Cot
ton Growers Association there was
a meeting held in each township
last Saturday and delegates. elected
to meet in convention ut the court
house on Monday.
Monday at IL o'clock President
A. G. Lyles called the convention
to order and the secretary proceeded
to call the roll of delegates. The
court room was full of enthusiastic
and eager citizens, both white and
colored. The president announced
that the constitution and bylaws
which were to be by this conven-
tion today ratified had not been
reached, but that the organization
was complete without this, because
each township through it's execu-
tive COMMITTEES could ratify the
bylaws and constitution. The
president then introduced Mr.. f.
ID. Smith, president of the State
Cotton Growers Association. Mr..
Smith repeated his former address
adding thereto many points of in
tcrcst that he had gathered in his
tour through the cotton states and
in New York. He says that whcu
you read the reports of the selling
OF cotton by Texas, Georgia, Ala
bama and other cotton states and
the immense shipments of cotton
to foreign manufacturers, Just put
it down as false, because he knows
that the farmers arc not selling and
therefore there can be no shipments;
that the only shipments which arc
being made are to the compress and
then to the warehouses to be stored.
That the cotton buyers, spectators
and manufacturers stand aghast at
the situation made possible by the
farmers holding their cotton, that
this little territory the southern
states holds monopoly of the cot
ton trade of the world, without q
competitor in the growing of cotton,
this being the case, all that the
farmers had to do was to stand pat,
and the time was near at hand
when the farmer could do with his
cotton as the merchants do with
their goods-put price on it and
get it. He says some of the New
England mill men thought that the
farmers of the south were obliged
to sell their cotton or starve. He
told them, you can't starve those
people, as long as they could raise
one OF these old razor-backcd hogs
and log-lcg collards they could live.
That the southern people were
patriotic and believed in a princi-
pie and you could not whip them
into any osher belief, now that they
, were organized. 1t is a fact that
cannot be disputed, that whenever
there is surplus of anything, the
price must of necessity go down,
that is whenever you make a crop
OF corn, wheat, potatoes or cotton
which exceeds the demand or in
other words more than is really
needed for consumption less price
is the natural result, and there can
be no possible way to put the spccu-
lator out of business, other than
that supply and demand regulate
the price of every commodity of
trade.
The meeting Monday was the
largest and most enthusiastic that
has yet been held and the farmers
seem fully awake to the practical
importance of reducing acreage and
holding to their cotton until they
get their price for it. All the
farmers have to do is to stand firm,
and raise what they need at home.
