TIE Trouble and the Remedy.


told me that it was now tne Equinox
Mill. l said it appears that they are
working on the mill, and he told me
that it was closed down at present;
that it was fcrmerly known as the Cox
Mill and tat they are changing the
.style of goods they are going to manu-
facture: that the mill "bursted' and
was bought in by the selling agents
for S125, 100000; that the selling agents
didn't nave to pay in any cash 1or
the 1925, 100000 was the amount that
was due the selling agents by the Cox
mill. 'sI have now in my safe, ne
said. 80, 10000 worta Of stock in the
old mill. which l will present to you
with my compliments if you have need
for it, Now, what is my remedy. l
am not trying to stir up class against
class but there should be some remedy
for this crime that is being committed
against our Southern industries. II
we can cut down this commission, 1t
will result in you, Mr., Operatives, re-
ceiving higher wages; it will result
in YOUR receiving more comforts IN
YOUR homes; it will result, Mr.. Minority
Stockholder, in your getting diVl-
dand on vour stock where you are
receiving nothing now, and it will re-
suit, Mr. Farmer, in your receiving
a better price for your cotton, Tor the
cotton mills will have more money to
spend for products.
The United States has throughout
the civilized world its consular agents
and trade agents and it is their duty
TO find out the best manner of market
ing the products and produce Of this
country. The Federal government has
investigated and is investigating the
various trusts and m0nopolies and
coporations in this, country. This
eselling Agent combination is one OF
the greatest trusts and monopoles
and one of the greatest curses that
is now affecting the Southern cotton
manufacturing interests and its en-
ployees.
Aiken's Campaign Manager.
Now, my friends, 1 am in this race
for congress and 1 am going to win.
When I win and get up there, I won't
have, as Mr.. Aiken has now, and mas
admitted on the stump, one Office four
miles from the city OF Washington at
his home and another five hundred
miles from the city Of Washington at
his secretary's home at AbbeT1lle, but
I will keep the Office set apart at the
Office building in Washington. l shall
have a secretary there who will re-
ceiye a salary for the performance OF
MS duties and for looking after the IN
4erests of the people of the third con-
gressional district and the people OF
South Carolina. l shall not allow that
amount to be expended as Wyatt
Aiken is doing by W. w. Bradley who
draws a salary of $4,000 per annum
and instead of going to Washington
and performing his duty, stays at
Abbeville and in the third congres-
sional district his whole duty Delng
10 go around throughout the district
and keep up tee breaks in Wyatt
Aiken's fences. If I nave campaign
manager, 1 shall pay him out of my
own pocket and will not use the FUNDS
of the United States government to
further my own personal and political
interest to the detriment of the people
o. the third congressional district.
Aiken DOdges the Issues.
AS stated before, I am going to be
elected to congress and when | get
there, am going to do as l do in
every matter that comes before me. I
am going to meet t0e issues fair and
square, straight and open. There will
be no lodging. My friend, Aiken, has
stated in a letter that ne mas written
that he could not dodge certain post
Office appointment; that he did not
want to have anything to do with post
Office appointments and wishes that
he could shift it to some one else All
that have to say is that he is going
to have nis wish gratifed; he is not
going to have to dodge many more
of them and the responsibility is going
TO be shifted; that responsibility is
going to be shifted to my shoulders
and on the shoulders Of man who
will not dodge any responsibility that
might come IN during the term TO
