Department Of Agriculture I'rOba bly,
Will Urge Reduction In Cotton
Planting In South.

Washington. Aug. 27.-That the
movement for diversified farming in
the South will bc FASTENED by the sus-
pension Of operations i'm European
cotton mills was the opinion expressed
today by government officials who
took part i'm the recent cotton con-
fcrenccs here. Those who have
studied problems facing the cotton
grower believe the present emergency
most probably will result I'm economic
changes I'm tho South, the sowing of
other crops besides cotton. and expe-
dition into diversified farming and
agricultural development along new
lines.
The government Is expected to aid
the cotton men in every possible way,
but II has been suggested that with a
large part of this years yield destined
for warehouses 1t will be useless for
the planters to plan for full crops next
year. 1t was said today that sugges-
tions would be made to the cotton
growers that they plant cotton only
on part of tho area hitherto devoted
to 1t and to try other crops.
Economists here believe that If this
experiment Is tried 1t may prove OF
great benefit to the South. Up to this
time, they point out, 1t has been al.
most impossible to get cotton growers
to plant other crops, but faced with
the prospect Of no market or q re.
stricted one. the argument for diver.
sifled farming may have added
weight.
AS result of a conference between
members Of the federal reserve board
and Senator'S Owen, Hoke Smith am
Vardaman, a bill has been introduced
In congress to reduce the amount OF
capital necessary to qualify State
bank for membership in the federal
reserve system from $4,000 to $15,.
600. with u proviso the capital stock
must be increased to $4,000 within
nine months.
Senator Overman has introduced a
bill to reduce the tax on emergency
currency during the first three month.

When the new express rates, based

Not for Themselves But for Their
State.
Yours faithfully,
Anne HeatOn Charming

In the golden book of those sons
who have loved and served South
Carolina in late years the names Of
w. 2. Pollock and Langdon ID. Jcn-
ninSs lead all the rest.
'The triumphant cause pleases the
SOds but the vanquished cause
pleases Cato" In a personal sense
these two candidates for the United
States senate were defeated; i'm an
impersonal sense, they were victors.
They lost, but their cause is not lost.
They drove their cleaning sabrcs
full to the hilt in Bleaseism. No
man can estimate how greatly they
contributed to the dethroncment of
Blease.
| Where in the republic today are
there more valiant patriots than
these two men who, realizing that
they had no chance to win, sacritic-
ed themselves that South Carolina
might gain? What finer example of
true courage and noble manhood
have we known in our civil life &?
Their achievement aCCords with the
traditions Of the great South Caro-
linians of the earlier days who put
South Carolina first and themselves;
second. They responded as glorious
ly to the call of their State as did
|
crimson fields, cXclaiming as
they passed under the Palmetto
tlag: 1--WE, who are about to die,
salute thee!'
If there has ever been more
mercilcss exposition of the record Of
Il public servant than the turning of
the scarchlight of fact upon Blcase
and Blcascism by these two patriots
Of today, we do not know of it..
Nothing daunted them; no fear was
in them and to tens of thousands of
the electorate they told the truth,
the whole truth and nothing but
the truth about the BETRAYAL of
the people and the treason of the
now vanishing administration. The
people of South Carolina can be de-
pended upon ultimately to execute
Righteousness when they see the
light and it was these two men who
showed them the way wherein they
must walk and the things that they
must do.
In the name of the people of
Grecnville, we say to these two:
well done. good and faithful SER
wants of South Carolina" In good
time to come the citizenship of the
Palmetto State will accord to w. p.
Pollock and LangdOn ID. Jennings at
the polls due measure of their an
probation for splendid public SER
vice splcndidly rendered. They
nave been vanquished as they knew
full well they would be. but they
snail not be forgotten. They caught
the stirring appeal South Carolina
expects her sons to do their duty"
they did it bravely and effectively.
and South Carolina will yet do its
duty by them. Even if it perchance
should not. what is finer and more
hitting than to go down in defeat
to the end that ones State shall be
redeemed from shame and restored
in honor?
They that be wise shall shine as
the armament and they that turn
men to Righteousness as the stars
forever and ever."-Greenvillc Daily

Rally to Manning.

tully 10 manning.
John q. Richards, candidate for
governor in the second primary
against Richard l. Manning, has one
faint chance Of election and only
one.
He cannot possibly win unless the
friends of Mr.. Manning, the friends of
good government generally in South
Carolina, relax their efforts just as
complete victory is fairly within their
grasp.
There is every reasonabic .xpecta-
tion that Mr.. Manning will win. Most
of those who voted for him last Tues
day did so not only because they be-
lievCd he was the most available cam
didate but for the further reason that
they had confidence in his ability, his
integrity. his judgment and his charac-
ter generally as just and upright
man. They believe in him. They
have every confidence that he will
nakc u splendid governor. They will
vote for him and they will work for
him and they can count confidently
upon being joined in this by the
friends and supporters of Browning
and Clinkscalcs and Cooper and the
two Smiths.
Richards on the other hand, is a
heavy load for the Blease people TO
carry Much Of the vote which he re /.
ccired went to him because it had to
do 30. not. because it wanted to DO so.
IL" never lifted his hand or voice to
help Blcase or Bleascism until after
his own candidacy for governor had
bcen announced and until the very eve
II the campaign in which that candi-
dacy was to be prosecuted. Thous-
ands Of Blease voters have no use for
him and do not trust him. They know
that a. one time or another he has
posed as the friend of nearly every
body and that more than once he has
experienced u change Of heart over
night, so to speak. He has appealed
IN This campaign. ut least by silence,
10 the blind tiger vote and in Charles.
ton at least he received much of that
vote last Tuesday. But while the Ii.
quor people may be expected to SUD.
port MIN again in the second primary
they will probably do so without en-
thusiasm. They remember that cnlv
-FOUR years ago he made the campaigp
ior governor prOclaiming throughout
inc State that he was the arch pro-
mbi'ionist of South Carolina and that
he never expected to give up tho fight
ior prohibition while life lasted.
Inis, we think is Il reasonable view
o1 the situation and it is founded ON
the hard facts. But while it warrants
encouragement and lively hope it
should not betray those who are
weary of Blcaseism and who long for
clean government, political TRANQUILITY

'airs into that inertia which is so
