MORITURI TE SALUTAMUs

Gov. Blcasc evidently classes Mai
Richards rs II rather cheap sort of per
son. or thinks that the Major is des
in need of votes. That /.
about the only way we can figure ou
the governors position on the mora
torlum."
a meeting of the farmers and bus
mess men Of South Carolina was held
in Columbia Tuesday night and DR..

cd president We quote from the re.
port of that meeting:
Governors of ile acvcral cot
ton growing states are to he me-
morializcd by Wade St;Nkhpusr.
n. d.. president of the South
Carolina division, Southern cot
ton congress. to convene their leg
islatures ut once In extraordinary
session, for the purpose OF TAX
ing action toward improvement
OF The cotton situation =.
II was agreed that 1t was ahso-
lutcly vital. as Il means of rclicv-
Ing the present situation. that The
legislatures Of the several cot
ton growing states should enact
such laws as would reduce the ac-
roage to be planted In 1915 by at
least 10 per cent. This action
WAS taken after full discussion
Of conditions.
As we learn from Il letter to this
paper from Jno. G. Richards. w. A.
and James Norton, there was
held in the Office OF tho Governor au-
other convention" on September End
The day following the duly called and
organized cotton convention. This Is
what the governor no doubt would
have called trump conventions: had
L been held Ivy his enemies, but as
IL was held in the governors office we
will speak OF 1t respectfully.
We are informed lin the letter ac-
the resolutions published
in this paper that:
In attendance upon this confer
ence were representatives from
Abbeville, Anderson, Aiken. Barn

7 Goernor Blease, you place a cheap
price on the people OF South Caroli-
,a when you ask them to lay aside
heir honest. frank. expression Mt the
loiis. to drop q man whom they prefer
md to vote for man whom they do
lot want.
There will he no special session of
he general assembly Of South Caro-.
Ina unless the conditions be changed.
The people of South Carolina abso-
utely will not be swerved by any
'uch appeal. Tho friends OF Richard
:, Manning will stick all the closer :.
Ind men VINO hitherto had no choice
:s between the two will now give their
'ote to Mr.. Manning rather than TO
ne he! one who is so admittedly weak in
lis own personality and so deficient in
lis own following that he requires
leroic doses OF gubernatorial digftalis
q keep. his political fortunes alive un-
II next Tuesday.
