Farmers Send Delegation TO Co.
lumbia to Urge Such Law.

A meeting of the Williamsbur g
branch of the Southern Cotton con-
gress was held here last Saturday
afternoon. The gathering was COM
posed of representative business
men and farmers of the county. A
resolution was adopted instructing
the county delegation to advocate
and urge during the special session
of the Legislature the passage of an
act to eliminate the raising of a
cotton crop in 1915. A committee
of representative citizens was also
appointed to go to Columbia Monday
with instructions to work for the
passage of such a measure. Those
appointed were: Messrs w 0 Cam

Houston, Texas.-ln an interesting
letter from this city, Mrs. S. c. Burton
writes as follows: 81 think II is my duty
to tell you what your medicine, Cardui,
the woman's tonic, has done for me.
Twas down sick with womanly trouble,
and my mother advised several different
treatments, but they didn't seem to do
me any good. | fingered along for three
or four months, and for three weeks, J
was in bed, so sick | couldn't bear for
any one to walk across the floor.
MY husband advised me to try Cardui,
the wonlan's tonic. | have taken two
bottles of Cardui, am feeling fine, gained
Is pounds and do all of my houSework.
Friends hardly know me, am so well"
If you suffer from any of the ailments
so common to women, don't allow the
trouble to become chronic. Begin taking
Cardui to-day. 1t is purely vegetable,
its ingredients acting in gentle, natural

The result will likely be a COM
promise. The special committee Of
the House now at work framing a
bill will submit the proposed bill to
the central committee on Monday,
but in the meanwhile the central
committee has outlined to Messrs
Belser, Wyche and Mower that it
wants a bill based upon the idea
that no farmer shall plant more
than a third of his total crop in cot
ton. The one-third idea will be
coupled with an acreage option.
The idea is that some farmers might
with a single animal plant thirty
acres, while another can only handle
eighteen acres, therefore the option
will be six acres of cotton to the
animal. One-third of the acreage
in cotton or six acres of cotton to
the animal is the central idea of the
proposed bill.
AS to the method of enforcement
the central committee is not yet
agreed, but it will be either by pen
atty, which is to be enforced by at
taching lien to the cotton, or by
making over-planting a misdemean-
or. If any cotton reduction bill is
passed it will be this or something
closely akin.
There is another angle to this
question that is giving deep concern
to many thinking Legislators. The
Assembly will say cut the cotton
acreage and then the question will
be what are we farmers to do with
our lands? What the farmers will
want to know is not plant wheat, or
plant oats, or grow clover crops for
cattle, but how and when and what
is to be done with the crops when
grown. The farmer will need specl-
fc and immediate information and
how he is to get it is a collateral
problem that Legislators are asking,
if they are to cut OUT cotton.
Folk need give themselves no fur
ther worry, if indeed there has been
any, about the adoption OF a stay
law, moratorium or enactment along
this line. 1t will hardly be possible
to pass it over first base. The same
has already occurred to the sugges-
ton of postponing the time for the
payment of taxes. This suggestion
was intimately tied up with the

SERIOUS SITUATION
FACING ASSEMBLY.
PROBABLY THE MOST IMPORT
ANT OF ALL PROPOSED LEGISLA-
TON BEFORE BOTH HOUSES.

Columbia, October l0:-The Gen.
eral Assembly of South Carolina is
up against" a most serious situa-
tIon. | have been in touch with the
legislative work for twenty-five
wears and never has it been quite so
strikingly illustrated how serious is
the burden on a body of less than
two hundred men to deal with un-
usual and unexpected problems. The
real fact is that all apparently re-
alize that it is an overwhelming diff
ficulty and one which necessitates
the utmost care and foresight. Of
course, some are trying to play for
political position, but the great mass
of the membership, realizing the
responsibility, is bent upon doing
that which which will be for the
best interests of all. For week
the members have been here think
ing and working, with utter sin
cerity, on plans that might result in
good for the State as whole. Hun
dreds of plans have been proposed,
fifty to seventy-fve have taken
shape in bills, but when the session
will have adjourned not five of the
series will find their way to the
statute books, so carefully will the
wedding out be done.
At the moment only one of the
series of measures that have been
proposed will be enacted, and on
this there has not yet been entire
agreement. All are apparently
eorced that the most important of
-anv Legislation is that for the re-
5uction of the acreage in cotton.
There are four schools of thought:
One wants a total elimination of the
cotton crop for 1915; another wants
an acreage reduction ranging from
20 to 50 per cent of the usual crop;
the third school suggests a tax with
:, view of limitation, and the fourth,
which is not assertive at the time,
thinks Legislation unwise and that
spch problems belong to business
and not Legislation.
The county record. [volume] (Kingstree, S.C.) 1885-1975, 1914-10-15

necessary money for the running OF
the schools and for funds with which
to operate the various counties.
The State may have been able to
borrow money with which to run
the Government, but many of the
counties had reached their borrow
ing limit and without taxes coming
in soon the county affairs would
have been paralyzed.
The McLaurin warehouse bill is in
jeopardy. One trouble is that a
somewhat kindred measure has here
tofore been defeated, and while it
appears in different form, it is en-
numbered with previous failure. The
House committee submitted a d.
vided report, the majority being un-
favorable. The bill will have hard
time to pass, and if anything be done
on a warehouse proposition it will be
along the line. of leasing or under
writing. but the State is not going
into the warehouse business at this
time, judging from the present tenn
per cf the serious-minded Legisla-
ture.
The State reserve bank plan SUBJ
mitted by the Ways and Meansicom-
mittee is the most unexpected legis-
lation proposed. The idea comes
from Mr. Mcleod of Charleston and
has in the main heen accepted by the
committee and a general bill has
been framed and submitted along
these lines. Whether the proposed
notes to be issued by the State re-
serve bank, in the aggregate Of six
millions, will be exempt from the 10
per cent Federal tax on notes or
circulation, other than Federal bank
notes,is rot certain. If the notes are
to be counted as circulation by ma
tional banks they will perhaps be
liable to the tax, but if they are to
be cotton notes they will hardly be
liable to the tax, but the question is
how far they would be available for
deposit in banks. 1t is striking
plan that has much merit, but one
which can hardly be worked out
overnight. In the Federal reserve
banking system all national banks
must belong to the system. Under
the proposed act it is optional with
State banks whether they will par
ticipate or not. This will not add
strength to the State system.
