reliance and sclf-respect.
And had It not been for the negro
tenant system conducted and foster
Cd for the most part by the large
merchant-farmcr class, agriculture
would have become far more profta-
be and prosperous. This system
ruined the farm negro labor, and
more than half Of the negro race to-
day in South Carolina are entirely
worthless fo- farm labor. and are to-
tally unproductive so far as agricul- |
turc is concerned This condition.
with the large influx Of the poorer |
class Of white people from the rural |
districts 10 the cotton mills. leaves |
many sections Of the State very
scarce Of farm labor. The reduc- |
tion Of the cotton acreage is a fore
gone conclusion so far as South |
Carolina is concerned, pledge or no
pledge, unless labor Is imported from
outside the State.
I have been watching this organi-
zation TO hold cotton and reduce the
acreage and fertilizers for 1905.
What does it mean, and why is it that
the very class Of men who fought the
Alliance with all their powers Of
head and heart are tapping in with
the farmers to whip the bears of
Lombard and Wall Streets? I see
in it the declaration that the farm
crs Of the South are a great big
army of boobies, a very large aggre-
cation Of natural-born idiots. that
need guardians, some mentors to tell
them when to sell ami how much to
plant.
Some years ago cotton fell to five
cents for middling. We heard no ad-
vice from merchants and bankers to
hold 1t then for ten cents. And why?
Because as a general rule the farm
crs were in debt to the merchants for
the years supply, and had largely
failed In corn crop, and were IN
no condition to hold their cotton. and
got no encouragement from any
quarter to do so. But l notice that
all farmers who were out of debt.
and were making a living at home.

he has sense enough to keep out OF
the insane asylum, knows that ne
cannot raise cotton at seven, or even
eight cents. 10 buy food and cloth
ing for his family and feed for his
stock.
Is il not possible that scores and
hundreds Of our so-called business
men Of the South have been caught
with large lots Of spot cotton on
hand. and large deliveries Of high
priced future cotton to be met, and
are wanting help from the farmers
10 raise the price for the staple (.
Be that as It may. it Is 10 be hoped
that the cotton crop and the price
Of 1904 will be an object lesson to the
farmers Of the South, and an expert
ence that they viii not soon forget.
Every farm ought TO be selfsupport-
ing so far as everything in the way
Of fOod-stuffs for man and beast IS
concerned. l trust that the present
movement will be successful in rails
ing the price Of cotton and in teach
ing the farmers the necessity Of
striving to be independent Of the
price Of cotton. 4 few days ago /
heard one farmer say that he was
not going TO plant any cotton this
year, as he had a lot Of it on hand
that he was not obliged to sell. and
that he was satisfied he could buy it
next fall cheaper than he could raise
it.
/ want to ask all thoughtful farm
ers if this movement to combine the
whole body of cotton planters in the
South to reduce acreage is success
full in raising cotton to ten cents,
how long will it last and how long
will you be able to hold down the
acreage and hold up the price? Is
the principle a good one, and are
not the cotton planters doing in
this organization exactly what we
have been cOndemning IL other lines
of business for many years in the
past! All the trusts and combines
either curtail the output of goods, or
get control of the goods and die
tate the price. The corn and wheat
growers can work the same game,
and so can the men who are raising
cattle and hogs and tobacco for the
market. Are the cotton planters by
going into this combine destroying
all the force of the ammunition they
have been using on all gigantic trusts
that have been preying on the con-
sumers of this country! If not, why
not?
1t seems to me that this whole
matter resolves itself into this propo-
sition.

they may, for me and my house, we

Robert b. Mantell, the noted actor
and his fine company, headed by Miss
Marie Booth Russell, will appear at
the Colonial Theatre on Friday and
Saturday, January and Z, in a re-
vival of Richelieu." the we'll known
historical play by Edward Bulwer,
Lord Lytton, and an excellent perfor-
nance may be looked for. The story
OF the play is most interesting one,
set in a picturesque period and sur
rounded with all accessories which
please the eye and ear. The character
of Cardinal Richelieu is difficult
one, for it is full of complex emotions
and sudden changes from tragedy TO
comedy-from the priest and states
man to the man-but Mr. Mantell,
who is master of his art presents it
in q ruly artistic manner, from his
first appearance pouring over his pa
pers and writing verses in his study,
up TO the final curtain when his nigh
ty intellect triumphs over all his enc
mics, there is not moment that he
does not realize to the full his oppor-
tunities and make the most of them.
He is supported by good company,
who follow the example of their star
in hard and artistic work. Miss Marie
Booth Russell, an actress of ability,
is his leading lady and in this play
will be seen in the role of Julia de
Mortmar.

Washington, ID. O., Jan. 5.-The
third day of the American Forest Con-
gress opened this morning with dis
cussion of forests and their relation to
railroad supplies. Officials of many
of the largest railway systems of the
United States participated in the dis
cussions. They discussed among
other things the tremendous demands
of the railroads upon the forests for
ties and other supplies and considered
means of solving this increasingly
serious problem. In the same connec-
ton officials of the Bureau of Forestry
explained to the congress what is be-
ing done in the way of extending the
life of timber by preservative treat
ment. This afternoon the congress met
in the Lafayette Theatre, which was
crowded to the doors with an audience
that included many persons of promi
nence. President Roose velt was in
troduced BY Secretary of Agriculture
Wilson and delivered brief address,
in which he told of the active inter
eat the Government is taking in the
problem of forest preservation. Other
speakers included several members of
Congress and representatives of the
