0ae Fourth Smaller Gotten Acreage Ur-
sed for Next Years crep.
Will SECURE PLEDGES
The Plan Proposed is to Have Paid
Canyassers Secure CurtaiImens
Pledges From the Farmers in EV-
cry Township in the South Of the
Cotton Acreage Next Year.

The executive committee Of the
Southern Cotton congress, which had
been in session at New Orleans tor
several days considering the cotton
question, adjourned Thursday night,
after deciding upon plan to secure
a reduction In the cotton acreage Of
the South to the extent Of ~ per
cent. next year and taking steps to
secure the uniform operation OF the
plan in all the cotton growing States.
The plan adopted is modification
Of the socalled Rock Hill plan"
which was proposed to the commit
tee by J. G. Anderson OF Rock Hill,
S. c., and provides for securing sign
ed pledges from farmers through
State and county organizations. In
the declaration" adopted, 1t Is spec
ifcally stated that the organization
"does not wish 70 do anything which
may be in violation Of the Sherman
antitrust law"
The State organizations are to call
upon bankers and business men to
assist the farmers in securing suff-
cient organization expenses. Each
States organization, headed by su-
perintendent, is to appoint commit
tees in each county and, In turn,
township committees are to be- organ
lied. Paid caDvassers are to be en-
ployed to secure signatures Of farm
ers to the pledges to curtail acreage.
The form Of pledge used by the
Farmers union was approved and
adopted as the form to be employed
in this work.
The reports on acreage reduction
from the various State superiatend-
ents are to be fled with E. J. Wat
Ison, president Of the congress, at CO.
lumbia, S. c., by March /, 1912, and,
after the figures are compiled, they
will be published throughout the
South.
The committee recommended that
farmers rallies, intended to aid In
this movement, be held on January
25 next Ct every school house in the
cotton belt, to be followed en- Janu-
ary 27 by county rallies at the vari-
Gus county seats.
Already, it was stated, State and
county organizations are actively at
work In Texas, Alabama and Missts-
sippi to secure a reduction in cotton
acreage, and great success was re-
ported by the delegates from these
States.
R. D. Bowen Of Paris, Tex, direct
ed attention to a report published In
The Farmers Union Journal at Ar
lington, Tex, over the signature Of
officers OF the Texas State union,
charging that the figures on which
the federal agricultural department
based it's estimate Of the cotton crop
are distorted, to the great injury Of
the cotton planters. This statement
charged that 1,250,000 bales Of cot
ton are virtually counted twice By the
government in making up the esti-
mate of the probable amount OF the
seasons crop.
Gov. Noel of Mississippi suggested
that this was a very serious charge
and should Immediately be brought
to the attention Of Secretary Wilson
at Washington.

Charged with the worst case 0!
neglect Of steerage passengers on re-
cord under the passenger act of 1882
the owners Of the British steame1
Oteric have been fined $500 by Act
ing Secretary Gable of the Depart
nent Of Commerce and Labor.
Among the 1,242 passengers there
we're in the eight weeks of her voy-
age 5S deaths, 81 being children;
the births number Il; the sexes We're
not properly segregated during the
larger part OF the time, the ventila-
ton OF the ship was inadequate and
greatly increased the mortality rate;
the hospital facilities were ill-yenti-
lated and without proper equipment,
while the sanitary conditions Of the
vessel were almost beyond relief.
Acting Secretary Cable, after giving
ample opportunity for the ships
agents to make 6 defense, directed
that the full penalties be imposed.
The case has been pending before
the department since the arrival OF
the Oteric at Honalulu April 13 last,
who're the collector Of customs, who
acrs in behalf Of the bureau OF navi-
cation, Immediately discovered the
unlawful conditions.
The vessel is not regularly engaged
IL the steerage business, but was
specially engaged to carry Portuguese
and Spanish immigrants through
Magellan Straits 70 Honolulu. The
ship was allowed to clear upon de-
posting bond Of $4,000
Owing to the great number Of
deaths the grand jury, which was in
session at the time, went on board
and made an examination OF the YES
sci.
They found the system.of ventila-
ton insufficient; the port holes did
rot admit sufficient air, and notwith-
standing that there was an electric
light plant on board, no electric fans
were provided. They reported that
this lack Of ventilation contributed
to the large mortality during the voy-
age; when severe weather necessitat-
ed closing the portfolios and matches
the rate OF mortality increased.
The hospitals were found wholly
unfit for the purpose foc which they
were provided the ventilation was
poor and the space allotted to them
was too small.
There were IA births on the voy-
age, but the compartments used as
lying in hospitals were wholly mad
equate In every respect, and in some
instances it was found that even or
dinary conveniences were not provid-
ed for the inmates. The laws rela-
tiyes to cleanliness were violated in a
manner which could not be too
strongly condemned.
The master Of the vessel, James
Findlay, attempted to explain the ex-
isting conditions by stating that
about ten days after leaving Gibral-
tar there was riot between the Por-
tugese and Spanish male passengers,
resulting in a pitched battle with
knives, clubs, cleavers and pistols.
To prevent further trouble the Por-
tugese passengers were placed aft,
while the Spanish passengers were
put in the forward part Of the YES
sci. This resulted in the co-ningling
of the sexes.

The Past Year ID the Hay ef Increasing
Our Sn-!i Industries.
SOME FIGURES GIVEN
Report Of Col. E. J. Watson, Conaris-
sioner Of Agriculture, Conn: erce
and Industries, Shows Much Pro-
gress in Nearly AL the Lines OF
Small Industries in the State.

Statistics prepared by E. ]. Wat
son, commissioner Of agriculture,
commerce and industries, indicate
that the amount Invested in industria!
enterprises in South Carolina during
1911 was ss,5s5.o5S in excess Of the
capital invested FOR the same period
IL 1910.
One Of the results Of the tomato
clubs is shown by an increase OF
s131,34O Invested in canneries. The
investments in canneries during 1911
reach s214,1eo for this growing in
dustry.
The manufacture Of clothing IS an
other growing industry, and there
was S359,50O capital invested IN sucn
enterprises in 1911. The figures for
1910 were sS8,S00.
Electrical development in South
Carolina continued during 1911 and
the expenditures for such enterprises
represents s2s,930,32s for the year.
The capital invested during 1910 IN
similar plants was s24,155,147.
Another industry that has attracted
investors in South Carolina is furni-
ture manufacturing. In some !ocali-
ties of the State there is an abundance
OF hardwood timber and other suita-
Bile timber used in the manufacture
of furniture. There was S360,000 in
vested in this enterprise during 1911.
During the year there has been no
abatement by enterprising manufac-
turers in their investments for many
OF the leading industries, among them
being fertilizers, -four and grist mills,
foundries, carriages, bakery products
and brick products.
This table slowing value Of pro-
ducts from these industrial enter
prises for 1911 as compared with
1910, indicates that there has been
Neatly increase in the value OF most
lines.
One Of the notable exceptions is
decrease in the AMOUNT Of cofins and
caskets manufactured in South Caro-
lima during 1911 as compared with
1910. The natural conclusion is that
this condition IS due to a decreased
mortality in this State during 1911.
At any rate, more favorable conoi-
tions are known to exist.
The increase in value Of fertilizer
products over the previous year rep
resents about s2,00o,000. Tie can
ming industry shows an increase Of al
most 100 per cent
South Carolina, as indicated by this
report, is rapidly assuming the posi-
ton the State deserves in its ratio Of
industrial enterprises actively invest
ing and the value OF their manufac-
tured products. The climate Of the
State is particularly adapted for en-
plcyes il manufacturing lines, and
there has been no complaint as to any
considerable scarcity Of Intelligent
and desirable labor.
