to you that there has been at the
very least a reduction Of Is IL per

last year.
In South Carolina. for instance,
Superintendent Anderson's report

acreage is cut in these SO counties as
planted in 1911 a total of 227,624
acres. without taking into considera-
tion the hundreds Of men who have
reduced but without being seen and
asked to sign pledges. The total
acreage for the entire State last year
was 2,800,00 acres. In putting down
h average reduction for the State,
Mr.. Anderson does SO at 10 per cent.
which is undoubtedly too small. and
this 10 per cent is the basis used in
the preparation Of the cotton belt

The most conservative figures for
the lever principal cotton-growing
States show a total reduction Of g.

basis under the direction Of Mr..
C%olQuitt and President Radford. of the
State Farmers Union. Their figures

State under the Rock Hill plan and
the advance in the price Of cotton was
100 points. On December II the price
was $40; on the 10th it was e.65; on
January 20 it was steady at $50, and
on February l it went to $50. The
next day it reached 1000. By Feb
ruary 20 it was 1880, and virtually IL
cent cotton was attained before the
adverse weather conditions were lend
ing assistance.
Fight for Prices.
From the very first the fight for
better prices or at least for maintain
ing the price around 9 cents was
waged with untiring zeal, ever into
township divisions. Che holding
movement was first resorted to for it's
Notwithstanding effect. Then one
move after another had to be re-
sorted to unit n date Of December
II came. this being a crucial date in
circles wherein cotton market man
ipulations are conducted. It was
then hat the opportunity came,
through an offer of fifty millions Of
dollars. made by Eastern capitalists,
whose names were widely known, by
the mere announcements Of hat offer
TO the world. to steady the market
through the crucial period and pre-
vent the almost certain break in price.
It was a fOregone conclusion that the
plan offered would not be accepted,
and the Governors committeeman
and those from the congress did not
recommend acceptance. While the
discussion was at fever heat, the real
danger of a further serious break in
prices passed and the Rock Hil'
plan for securing pledges of reduction
Of acreage was launched to further
steady the market until the real truth
as to the actual size OF the crop could
be made known and to protect the
producer against himself-the danger
Of another large crop in 1912.
Each move made mas served its
purpose in the face of a 16, 1000 0o
ale crop. and while the loss to South
Carolina farmers alone. due to the
conditions which seemed uncontrol-
able. has been. perhaps, some twenty
millions of dollars. the steps taken
and the fight made. has undoubtedly
saved a vast sum that would almost
certainly have been lost otherwise
The educational value of the expert
ence to the former cannOt be cal
culated. Doctrine that he has listened
to from every stump for the past siS
years has been brought home with
shoe-pinching impressiveness.
Under the action taken at New
Orleans the reports were to be made

NATIONAL DRUG LEADERS
 URGE NEW LAWS

The Executive committee of the Ma tional Association of Retail Druggists concluded a weeks session in Chicago, recently.
 The committee decided that import ant work should be done in the fife q of legislation. It supports President law supplementary to the Pure Food and Drugs Act which will prevent false statements concerning drugs and foods being made in the advertising literature of the manufacturer as wei as on the label of the preparation. The committee advocates that the proposed National Incorporation Law include provisions for the organiza- ton of corporations not for profit, so
 that under proper supervision anc
 control they may aid their members
 fn their particular craft or line of business.
 The question of shorter hours an6
 Sunday rest was given consideration
 and an appeal to the public for CO., operation and support of this move
 ment was authorized. In many towns and cities local associations affiliated with thes National Association have an arrangement whereby one or more stores can be kept open on Sunday, and during the night if necessary, Tor the accommodation of the public, the other stores being closed so that the proprietors and clerks may be given that needed rest and recreation so es-
 sential to the highest efficiency. A
 series of placards are used directing
 the people to the particular store that
 is open This extra service is shared in by the stores in the compact. The committee went on record as strongly opposed to the selling of any patent and proprietary medicine by other than qua fled pharmacists, when the same contains alcohol or-any poi sonous or habit-forming drugs. As
 the Supreme court of Illinois has de- cIared that restrictive laws are class Iegis' ation and therefore unconstiu- tional, when no just basis of discIEm- inat:on has been made between the pharmacists and other vendors, the 1 committee decided to urge in conform

that he means what they would mean if they used his same words. His thought moves in formal ways. Theirs runs straight to conclusions.
 Tn the Ballinger case, the Presi- dents postponement of decisive ac- tion could not change the inevitable course of events, but it made bad situation worse until 1t ended as ev- erybody knew it would end. So in the Dr. Wiley case, an unfortunate delay had similarly unfortunate ef- feet. The Secretary of Agriculture, like the former Secretary of the In terior, does not see the logic of events, and the President mistakes a personal loyalty for a public service. Yet the inevitable cannot be prevented by any such mistake. The President does not face difficulties decisively
 'Yet no man has more patriotic in- tentions. The explanation seems to be temperamental-th he ain't one of us
 ''Mr Taft's interview, in which he undertook to explain his work and purposes as President. had the tone of an apology. His aimable person. ality showed in it, as it does in every thing he does or says. But there was the tone, nor only of apology, but of a sort of helplessness. The very illusion of leadership was stripped away in a perfectly commonplace ex- planation that somehow seems to have done an offense to the great office he holds Nothing to stir the imagina- tion. Nothing to rally men - one can hardly help wishing what he had not offered the explanation"

THAT NUTMEG
 BUSINESS
Henry G. Newton Explains
 How Libel Came About

F'rom the Journal-Courier, New Ha- The following is self-explanatory: To The Journal-CouFier:
 I see that Governor Baldwin very properly dislikes calling Connecticut the State of wooden nutrhegs. Is 1t generally known how the term origin ated?
 Here Es the story as told me by my parents some 55 years ago:
 A wholesale grocer was filling an order for a Southern customer In- cluded in the order was a quantity of nutmegs. The goods were packed in boxes. The nutmegs did not f-l the prevent the nutmegs from rattling and being shaken and injured the grocer put in enough shag bark walnuts, otherwise called hickory nuts, so that the whole completely filled the box.
 He gave the full weight of the nut megs ordered and paid for, and charged nothing for the walnuts- The customer had never seen any nick ory nuts, and on receiving the ship see if he had received the whole or der, but took 1t for granted that he was geing cheated and spread the report that the Connecticut Yankees were manufacturing wooden nutmegs, with which to cheat the Southerners. The report travelled faster than the denial
 If there is no other account of the orr gin of the term which any one can and perhaps if there Is any other origin for it some one may make it

ity with this court decision that a model law be drafted which vt des- ignate a basis of discrimina ton that will be logical and proper. Such leg islation should require the printing of names and amounts of such ingred- tents upon the label as are poisonous or habit-forming, including alcohol.
 This will enable the pharmacists through his expert knowledge of dos age to properly advise the public who may wish to buy such patent and p.o- prietary medicines, whereas the non pharmacist wf,l be unable to furnish the pubic with the required and nee essary advice.

Speeding System Not For The U. s.
 Navy MaChinistS
Strike at Norfolk Ends When Government Announces That Effort to Introduce Taylor Plan Will be Abandoned

President William H. Johnston of the International Association of Ma chindsts. has informed the Bridgeport membership of the association that the government has withdrawn the obnoxious time slips which precipitat~ ed a strike in the Norfolk Navy yard This action apparently terminates the effort being made to introduce the Taylor speeding-up system, into navy yard work
 The cards which the men refused to sign were a record of speed and output. The men declare that the Taylor system is merely a method of making the most skilled men speed up the average man, and that it is unjust to the slower workers.
 President Johnston and his fellow officers opposed the introduction of the system. Bridgeport Lodge, No. 30, co-operated in the opposition.
