has declined to issue call for an ex-

The Governor addressed letter to
Mr.. J. ]. Evans. OF Marlboro, in re-
gard TO this matter. The letter ex-
plains the position OF the Governor,
giving his reason for refusing to call
tn, extra session The letter follows:
Mr.. ]. ]. Evans, Bennettsville. South
Carolina-Dear Sir: Your Wire re-
ceived.
presume you are aware OF the
fact that when the general assembly
raised their salaries, and in order to
do so ATTEMPTED to eyade the consti-
tuition, that they provided that for
each session of the general assembly
the members shall receive 5000 each.
fought this very vigorously, be-
ing member of the general assem-
bly, at the time, because | believed
that it was violation OF the constl.
tuition to raise the salaries, and, fur
thermore, because under the Act
members would receive the same pay
for an extra session, even though 1t
only lasted one or more days, that
they receive for the regular sessions.
thought then was right, still think
| was right, and your telegram con-
yinces me beyond doubt that l was
right, because were to call an extra
session of the general assembly now,
under this Act, each member would
be entitled to 5000, even though they
only remained in session but for
very short period.

Reduction of Acreage Is Best Plan.

Reduction Of Acreage Is Best Plan.
Reduction of acreage and establish

best method of fighting low cotton
prices, according to the opinion OF
J. G. Anderson, founder and president
of the Rock Hill Buggy Company,
who for rs years has had an intimate
acquaintance with cotton movements.
Mr.. Anderson is inclined to look on
the cotton holding movement as a
delusion and snare. When cotton
prices rose, as result OF holding,
the temptation to produce big crop
would prove too great, and the next
