had been said was all right, but this
was not the time for it. The farm
crs had gathered to devise ways of
securing help now and it must come
through federal legislation. He be-
licved that the federal government
could buy cotton to help the farmers,
as well as it could buy ships to aid
the shipping trust, and that it could
send money to the south to aid the
farmers who saw starvation and
bankruptcy staring them in the face
as we'll as it could send millions of
dollars to Europe to prevent a few
tourists from suffering the pangs of
hunger.
The government did not realize tho
dire need of the farmers of the South
and it would not act until the de-
mands for action from the people
made themselves felt and made it
necessary for the government to act.

big New York banks were opposing
it. The South must demand that it
be put into immediate operation.
Mr.. j. II. Clifton heartily endorsed
what Mr.. Dabbs had said. If the ma
tional government did Not give us aid
the state could and would if the
people demanded it. A way could be
found by which action could be made
constitutional. This was not a time
for divcrsiication, but for action in
behalf of the farmer. who in this in
stance was "downtrOdden."
The Manning and Dabhs resolutions
were both passed at this point and
the reports from the various school
districts rs to what action they had
taken i'm getting pledges signed were
received.

Scheme to Aid Farmers by Wide
Spread Purchase.

Charleston, Sept. 10.-"Buy a bale
it million" This is the
slogan that has been adopted by the
Chamber Of Commerce, where a
movement has been launched of pro-
portions calculated to cover the cot
ton belt to promote the "buy "a bale"
idea. Secretary Smell has sent out
letters to the principal commercial
organizations Of the South, urging
that meetings similar to the one plan
ned to be held in Columbia next
Monday he called at once for state
wide action, the cotton belt sover-
eighties joining together to purchase
100000 bales of cotton now and so
bring temporary relief to the per-
picked and distressed farmers.
Charleston will at once take up
the idea. An executive committee
has been appointed by President Har-

MAY CAUSE FIRES.
Insurance Commissioner McMastcr
Warns Agents to BE Careful i'm In
Suring Property.

To the Company or Agent Addressed:
The question has been put to the
Insurance Commissioner as to wheth:
er or not the acceptance of cotton on
ten cent basis in payment of prem
iums or premium notes would be in
violation of the law.
The opinion of the Insurance Com
missioner is that the insurance COM
panics and insurance agents are justi-
fed in accepting cotton on a ten cent
basis in payment of insurance prem
iums or premium notes.
This is based both upon the public
welfare and also upon the fact that
the general concensus of opinion is
that at least ten cents should be paid
for cotton. Certainly it has that much
value to the farmers

MAY HELP COTTON RAISERS.
May Make Arrangements for Insur-
ing Cotton.

In statement given out 10 the pub
lie, Commissioner Nc Master of the
State insurance department shows
how mutual companies may aid the
farmers:
There are eleven mutual fire insur-
ance companies doing business in the
following counties Of the state: OCon-
ce, Anderson, Abbevillc- Greenwood,
Notwithstanding, York-Lancas-
ter. Chester. Fairfield, Union, Ncwber-
ry, Darlington and Marlboro. These
companies insure farm dwellings,
tenant houses and household furni-
ture. Commissioner McMaster is urg-
ing them, either separately or by
union Of their forces, to provide for
the insuring of cotton. To observe
the equities cotton should be put in
q special class and subject to special
rates Furthermore, the companies
should require that it be stored in a
particular manner in order that the
equities among tho various pOlicyhold-
cr3 may be observed.
These mutual companies have been
insuring farm property heretofore at
rates varying from about 25c to so
cents per hundred dollars. These
rates are very much less than those
charged by the stock companies and
the Commissioners feels that if these
companies would organize to insure
the cotton of their policyholdcrs. that
they would be of great benefit to tho
farmers.

WILSON RESPONDS TO PLEA.
Hcctls Appeal Of Railroads for Sympa.
thctic Attitude.

NshSSAS <ASulusWs
Washington. Sept. 1O.-President
Wilson responded today to the request
OF several railroad executives that he
call to the attention Of the country
the imperative need that railway cred
Its be sustained and that the roads
be helped wherever feasible by gov
crnment agencies or by private CO.
operative effort.
The president outlined his views for
the country In letter to Frank Trum-
bull, chairman OF the Chesapeake IL
Ohio board. who acted as spokesman
for the railroad presidents who saw
Mr. Wilson Wednesday.
Discus sing his action with callers
today. the president said he was
greatly impressed with the reaso~a-
bic attitude Of the railroad men. JIc
added they had not displayed any
feeling of questionable kind nor
criticised the Interstate commerce
commission.
Although the president docs not ne
licve nc should advise other govern.
mental agencies having to do with the
railroads as to their action. he de.
clarcd nc would be glad to confer
with eny one who wanted to see him.
Various reports have said the call
of the railroad men on the presid ant
was preliminary to Il request for an
increase In freight rates.
President Wilson's letter to Mr..
Trumbull reflected his confidence in
the integrity and soundness Of the
American railroads and his view that
they should not be the subject for
agitation.
