EXIT COTTON EXCHANGE
SAY HONEST DEMOCRATS

The cotton exchanges of New
York and New Orleans are nearer
determination today than they
have been since the crusade
against cotton gambling" be-
gan several years ago, saws a
Washington dispatch to the Char
lotte Observer.
The Democrats of the Senate
have approved an amendment to
the Underwood Simmons tariff
bill which levies tax of one
tenth OF a cent pound upon all
cotton represented in future"
contracts, or the kind usually
dealt in on the exchanges. On
purely speculative sales this tax
will be prohibitive. The tax
must be paid by stamps affixed
to the contract. When delivery
is actually made the amount of
the tax will be refunded. Some
times during the speculative
season, sales of future contracts
on the New York Cotton EX.
change total 1000, 900 bales. At
$50 a bale this would mean
$500, 600 in taxes to the govern
ment.
The speculator who puts In
only 81 or So to carry a baHsG
cotton could not afford to ~
the SO cents tax. But the actual
purchaser of the $50 bale could
not be taxed at all.
FIR ends of the exchange insist
that the purely speculative
business is necessary to its
existence. They also claim that
a large part of the apparent
speculation is really legitimate
hedging by men engaged in buy
ing and selling cot .Gn. If specu-
lation is barred, they say the
exchanges that furnish a con-
slant market for cotton and one
that steadies prices, must 60
under.
But the Democrats of the
Senate have already approved
the tax, and the House has at
various times passed measures
to prohibit these short sales
commonly termed gambling in
cotton.

ENCAMPMENTS OF MILITIA
NOW seem A CERTAINTY

What appears to have been a
satisfactory settlement of the
militia squabble in this State
was reached the last week when
the following correspondence
passed between Governor Blease
and the war department at
Washington:
The Hon. L. M. Garrison,
the Secretary of War, Washing
ton, D. C.-Sir: On June 28.
certain military officers of South
Carolina, including the brigadier
general and the three colonels
commanding respectively the
three regiments of the National
Guard of South Carolina, met
and forwarded to me a COM
munication, copy of which is
attached to this letter, and
marked Exhibit A.
/ thereupon wrote a letter to
each of the members from South
Carolina in the national house of
representatives, copy of which
letter is herewith attached and
marked Exhibit B.
/ also wrote a letter to Gen.
Willie Jones and Col. julius E.
Cogswell, copy of which is
attached to this letter and marked
Exhibit c.
l presume, therefore, from
their letter, and from your COM
munication to the representa-
tives from this State, that you
are willing to do the following
as stated by you in said COM
munication:
The militia of South Caro-
lima will have it's transportation
paid to the extent that Federal
aid is used for that purpose to
the various encampments this
summer. They will have sub
sistence will there, paid under
similar conditions. The COM
panies which passed the last
inspection will have their pay
paid under similar conditions.
The pay for the deficient COM
panies will be retained. The
deficient companies will be given
another opportunity to measure
up to the test, at an inspection
to be held at least three months
from this date. If at that time
they pass the inspection they
will then receive their retained
pay
This is all | have been ask
ing, and it is entirely satisfactory
to Inc. Very respectfully,
(Signed) Cole L. Blease,
Governor"
1t is believed that Governor
Blease's letter Secretary of War
Garrison is the last word in an
incident which has been of
national interest.

BIG INCREASE IS SHOWN
IN ACREAGE OF COTTON

An increase of $4,000 acres
IN the area planted to cotton this
year and an Improvement of 81
per cent. in the condition of the
crop over May 25 were the
features of the department. Of
agriculture's July cotton report
issued Thursday which gave the
first official estimate of the
acreage this year and the con-
dition on June 25. With the
increased acreage and a better
condition by IA per cent. over
last year and 1.6 per cent. over
the 1O-year average on June Is,
indications point to larger crop
than the big crop of 1912.
Texas reported an increase of
342, 600 acres in area planted and
the condition of the plant there
improved two points over Nav.
Georgia reported slight de-
crease In acreage, but the con-
dition improved 5 per cent. from
May to June. Increases in
acreage also were reported from
Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana,
tennessee, Arkansas, Missouri,
Oklahoma and Virginia.
A total area of 35, ,622, 900
acres of cotton is in cultivation
in the United States, according
to the preliminary estimate Of
the bureau of statistics.
