Hence, we deem it unadvisable TO
promise or to urge fixed reduction
OF any given percentage of cotton pro-
duction."
The second clause produced con
siderable debate
Mr.. A. G. Paxton offered to amend
as follows:
Resolved, That we hold ourselves
IN readiness to pledge and accomplish
a reduction of our cotton acreage
whenever we have assurance that a
sufficient reduction can be accomplish
ed to effect a control of the price; but
until such assurance is given we make
no pledge nor recommendation there
on except as follows, towit:
1--WE recommend that all planters
sh; Il grow upon the plantation all
corn, hay and other feed stuffs neces-
sary to sustain the labor and work
animals thereon, which supplies have
heretofore been purchased elsewhere
AS this substitute was practically
embraced in the first clause of the re-
solution, to which there was no OBJ
lection, tia was withdrawn by Mr..
Paxton after some debate
Mr.. nL.Hebron moved to strike
out the second clause of the resolu-
ton, which was carried. The first
clause Of the resolution was then
adopted unanimously The question
OF organizing an Independent county
association was brought up, and de
liberated at length, many of those

No permanent independent organi-

POORER CLASS SUFFERS MOST
Cooks Strike, a Coal Famine Nearly
Happened and Everybody and
Everything Was Up Against 1t

The difficulty OF hauling or de-
livering groceries over the frozen
ground was one Of the most serious
and troublesome features Of the long
continued cold weather For many
days, heavy hauling, except on the
paved streets, was impracticable, and
grocery stores in many cases were
forced TO use wheelbarrows and por-
tiers on foot to supply their custo-
mers. Added to this was the misfor
tune Of coal famine, caused by the
impossibiity of hauling coal to the
city. With one exception the I'VE
coal yards were empty at the same
time. and the company that did not
run ont entirely had only limited
quantity.
Very many of the citizens and house
holders are in the habit Of LAYING III
only a small supply, a ton or half ton
at a time. and among these and the
poorer class there was real suffer

THE KINGS

An Institution of Which the City Of
Greenville is Proud
THEY WORK EARLY AND LATE
And in All Conditions of Weather to
Relieve Sugering Humanity
The Order is Growing

Grcenville has no institution which
IS more deserving of public sympa-
thy and support than the hospital
Of the Kings Daughters.
There is no enterprise among its
citizens which has displayed so
much of self sacrificing devotion, CON
stancy OF purpose, untiring energy,
and successful management and to
the honor of the citizens Of town and
county be it said, the worthiness of
the cause and its public benefit is full
ly appreciated.
The hand OF 10 man or BODY OF
men worthy of the name of good citi-
zenship has ever been withheld at
the appeal of the Kings Daughters.
Better than this. it has not often
been necessary for them to make the
appeal Voluntary subscriptions, gen
erous and constant. have been made
to their cause, until they themselves
have expressed wonder at the char
ity and Openhandedness Gotten most

been extended to their cause.
The history OF the society in Green

trust in human nature and sense
Of gratitude that there IS so much Of
good in the world
Like most noble and charitable en-
erprises, it arose from very small be
ginnings; and the founders OF the

Mrs. McLaurin's Address

Mrs. r. L. McLaurin, district secre-
tary Of the Mississippi Branch Of
the Kings Daughters, addressed a
large assemblage of ladies at the
Methodist Church last Thursday al
ternOOn.
The exercises Of the Afternoon were
opened by prayer offered by Rev. w.
A. Weaver al the Christian Church,
which was. followed by a song render
ed by the church choir.
Mrs. Noy Hunt, accompanied by
Mrs. McLaurin then ascended the
rostrum Mrs. Hunt in a few we'll
selected words introduced the King S
Daughters secretary to the audience
In a clever soft voice the speaker
then proceeded to give a short his
tory of how the grand and noble or
der Of Kings Daughters first started
IA years ago in the home of New
York woman, and how by the noble
acts of charity and good it has done
and the teachings it has sent out to
the world it has since that time en-
listed under its banner over seven
hundred thousand members.
She then showed the relation the
order bore to the church and remark
ed that the better the church member
the better the Kings Daughters the
order has.
She was glad to know that the sons
were admitted to the organization and
hoped to see their membership doub-
led before another year.
That she thought the members, both
sons and daughters should wear the
cross more and wear it where It could
be seen, so that those in need could
approach you for aid
This she followed with a talk on
the duty of parents towards their
children and how to make home hap
py. These were gospel truths and
should have been heard by every
mother and father OF the city.
In conclusion she thanked all Tor
their presence and appreciated her
visit 10 the circle and city.
After the address the choir again
rendered another beautiful song. Most
all present, before leaving the church
went forward and met Mrs. McLaurlr
and expressed to her their apprecl-
alton of her entertaining and instruc
/ tive address.

meeting in favor of Investigation of
crops, and making of plantation self

alfalfa and other forabe crops, with
hogs; and drew striking and convln-

oerience. He proposed that planters
shotld pledge themselves TO raise
in addition to cotton, whatever was
needed to make each plantation self

ed on Mr. R v Garner for an ex-

duction and Investigation Mr.. Gar

proceeded to give a number Of eX-

He cited the case of a Deck Creek

operation, finding it impossible to
dispose of it except at a great loss.
