Farmers Making General Reduction.
Henderson Mail, April 81

"The farmers in this section of the
State, and the adjoining counties in
Georgia, are certainly reducing their
acreage in cotton this year." said F..
G. Brown, President of the Ander-
son Phosphate and Oil Company, to
a reporter to-day.
"You know that fertilizer people
keep up with this business closer than
most other people. 1t is our business
to do 80. l know from the reports
of our many agents that the farmers
as a rule are reducing their acreage.
This reduction may not amount to
25 per cent, as claimed by some. All
the farmers who belong to the
organization and took the pledge are
carrying out the pledge, but there
are some who do not belong to any
organization and they have not felt
under any )ligations to make any
reduction. Then, there are the negro
tenant farmers to be reckoned with.
/ don't think they are, as a rule,
making any reduction. But the
great mass of the farmers are doing
so, and later on it will be found that
there is material reduction in this
section.
"The sales of our fertilizer plant"
he said, "have been greater this sea-
son that ever before, but this does
not mean that there is an increase in
the cotton acreage. Wehave simply
sold to greater number of custo-
mers than heretofore, as our books
show, and covered larger territory.
All our brands have become very
popular, and if the increase in de-
mand keeps up next year we will
have trouble in supplying our custo-
mers if we do not enlarge our plant.
"Since the first of January we have
shipped out over 10000 tons, and
our full output is engaged. 1t has
been big season with us, and we
owe our success this season to the
loyalty of Anderson county farmers,
who have used our goods and recon-
mended them to others. We have
every reason to feel grateful to the
farmers Of Anderson county, and to
those of the upper part of the State,
for that matter, and we hope we may
be considered sincere when we say
wo are with them in every contest
that affects their welfare"

"Now STAND PAT" SAYS McLAuRlN.
Urges Farmers Not to Neglect Golden Oppor.
tunIty-planter Is Master OF Situation.


Former United States Senator, j.
L. McLaurin, delivered an address to
the farmers at Sumter on the Sd
instant in which he urged them to
"stand pat" holding their cotton for
better prices, and caring for it in
warehouses, until they are prepared
to sell. Referring to the wonderful
development of the South Mr.. Nc
Laurin said that the time had come
for the people of this section to nomi-
nate and elect President of the
United States man who world not
be hampered by standing on "tin-
kered platform. Speaking of the
holding question, Mr.. McLaurin said:
1t is pleasure to me to address a
strictly non-political body of my fell
low-citizens. 1t it good thing for
man or people to look the truth
squarely in the face, see things as
they are, not as pictured by vanity,
ambition or disordered imagination.
When Jesus Christ came on this
earth he did not come with message
to any particular race or religious
creed, but proclaiming the truth to
Jew and Gentle. You cannot get at
truth from partisan standpoint !;
truth is strictly non-partisan; it is
the property of no one political party
or religious creed !; it is there for them
all. We live in day of combina-
tion and organization. Every bust
ness in the United States is organ
lied except the cotton planter, and
now, in self-defense, we are being
forced to act in concert.
Here Mr.. McLaurin went over the
ground covered in his speech in New
Orleans and drew an analogy be-
tween wheat and cotton.
do not believe there is any over
production if there were proper
methods of distribution. The bal
ance of the world is a consumer of
our raw cotton and is therefore COM
bined to get our product as cheap as
possible. You can only meet organi-
zation with organization. All other
industries through combination fix
the price of their products. This
coat that l have on lay on the shelf
of some merchants store until I paid
his price for it. He fixed the price
without consulting me. The beef
trust fl ed the price of my meat, the
coal trust of my fuel, the flour trust
of my bread, the coffee trust of my
coffee, and so on of everything that l
use. | may starve, may freeze or
go naked, bnt | pay their price or go
without. When / bring my product
(cotton) into town to sell, / do not
tell the buyer what l will take as all
these other industries do me. / hum
bly, ask, "What will you give me for
my cotton2"
The buyer says, "Wait until Liver
pool comes in )" then he says l will
give you six cents or whatever some
man in Liverpool says is the price.
Gentlemen, do what all the others
do; put your cotton in warehouse
don't ask anybody what they will
give, but tell the world what you will
take. 1t is in your own hands. All
you have to do is to "stand pat"
Fellow citizens, let us "stand pat''
with the action of the New Orleans
Convention. "Stand pat"
Let it be understood that from now,
henceforth and forever, we, the pro-
ducers of the material that clothes
the world, intend to have a voice in
fixing the price of the products of
our labor

Sugar Refining company. for duties
raid on raw sugars imported from
Cuba in 1903 and upon which the
company contended reduction OF
twenty per cent should have been al
lowed under the then existing treaty.
The facts showed that The presi-
dent was authorized by congress to
grant a reduction OF 90 per cent up
on all merchandise imported from
Cuba to the United States on and af-
ter ten days subsequent to the rati-
fcation by this government OF the
Cuban convention or treaty. This rat
ifcation occurred March 81. 1904.
The importation upon which the test
suit was brought was imported be-
tween July II and September 3.
1903. The collector at that time as
sessed the sugar demanding full du-
ties, there existing ct that time no
law under which the reduction could
have been granted. Subsequently the
convention was ratified and the
American Sugar company appealed
to the general board OF appraisers,
which sustained the collector An
appeal to the United States circuit
court followed.
In his opinion Judge Wheeler de-
cldes that as the ratification went in
to effect while the case was before
the board Of appraisers. the import
crs are entitled to the 20 per cent.
