TOTAL ELIMINATION"

Here Is the case of a York county
land. raises his own supplies, has
something TO sell every time he goes
to town and raises in addition. about
six or seven bales of cotton.
What is the legislature going tc
do?' he asked.
They are talking Of reducing the
to the plow, and some of them are
talking of prohibiting the planting of
any cotton at all next year"
"Aint going to let us plant none?'
THAT is what the total elimination
people say--cut it out entirely"
They ought to let us plant a lit
tle"
What is the use Of planting any,
if you can't sell it. Looks like a man
like you, who has his own supplies
can better afford to carry what you
have until it gets to be worth some
thing, than go about planting more to
make what you have worth less"
This farmer, though a hard work
ing man who always manages to get
along if anybody else can, but who
knows little about statistics as they
apply to production. consumption
surplus, etc, was not at all convinced
by argument He replied again:
Looks like they ought to let us
plant little"

The Censorship.

We have been surprised at the mum :
ber of individuals we have come in
contact with, who seem to have no
appreciation Of the real significance Of
the censorship of the dispatches by the
French, English and Russian military
authorities.
The daily papers are printing COL
umn after column Of war news every
day, and the unsophisticated reader
takes it all in as though he were alb
sorbing the gospel truth, while as a
matter Of fact he has absolutely no
guarantee that what he is reading is
even approximately correct.
No dispatch can come to America
except it first passes under the eye Of
the censors of the British war office,
and they are not letting pass anything
that would give the Americans or the
outside world generally, more than an
approximately correct idea Of what is
going on.
The dispatches from Berlin, while
maybe not made out of the whole cloth
by the British war office, are so revis-
ed and changed after they reach Eng
land that such truth as may be left
in them is hardly recognizable.
A French paper is quoted as saying
that this censorship is keeping the
truth from everybody but the Ger
mans, and this is probably true.

What is coming to be known as the
Wade cotton syndicate plan or under
taking. is one of the most significant
of the many plans that have yet been
proposed in connection with the IL
nancing of the cotton crop. Just as
most of the other plans looking to the
unfolding of the price of cotton,
have been primarily the plans of cot
ton producers having for their object
the saving of the farmers from loss as
much as possible, the Wade plan Is a
plan of the bankers to the same end.
There is nothing the matter with the
fairness or the legitimacy OF the plan.
1t is coldblooded business IL IN
wolves a certain amount of risk; but
it grows out of necessity. The theory
of il is this: The credit structure
based upon the production of the cot
ton crop, permeates every line OF BUS
mess in the south and extends TO the
northeast and west. st. Louis ana
Chicago, for instance, are carrying
Texas and neighboring cotton grow
ing states as extensively as New
York and Boston are carrying the
south, and helping to carry the other
cotton states. At the bottom the load
rests upon the banks Ordinarily, or
under almost any conceivable condl-
ton other than that which now pre-
walls, the banks would be perfectly
secure. But generally this year cotton
credits are based on something ike
or s cents a pound or over. Under
present conditions. there Is nothing
left to support cotton values. me
banks are carrying cotton mills and
producers and stand to lose from
both. The only thing that promises
to save them is the maintainance or
the value of the collateral securities,
both of the mills and the cotton pro-
ducers. This st. Louis plan is franz
ed with that idea. 1t attempts to
guarantee q value of 6 cents to cot
ton; but does not care to establish
higher value, for reasons that are very
well sustained by the logic of the
situation. If the plan is carried out
in full it will take about 5,OOO,OOO
bales absolutely off the market. The
prices of the balance of the crop Will
depend largely upon the strength and
tenacity of the holders.

IS up to $1,000, and the same amount
in cotton certificates in denominations
of from 81 up. Both notes and GER
tificates are TO remain in the hands OF
the state treasurer, subject to the call
of the bank reserve board, which
shall have "a right to receive them in
exchange for warehouse certificates
and notes Of cotton owners. These
cotton certificates are to be loaned to
owners of South Carolina raised cot
ton at IL per cent, the loans to be
made by member banks of the central
institution. The loans are to be made
for six months, with conditions for
extending TO nine months. AS TO
whether the cotton certificates are to
be used for circulation and subject to
the 10 per cent tax, does not appear.
1t is provided that the state shall not
be responsible for any loss that may
occur in the transaction. this falling
entirely on the loaning bank, or II II
is unable to make good on all the
banks of the association. This phi
appears to have been prepared with
considerable care by men who have
thorough understanding of banking;
but it is evident that it will need con-
siderable doctoring before 1t can be
put into practical effect.

Great Britain, with the dominating
arrogance that is characteristic of her
has recently been giving out intima
tions to the effect that she will assume
the right to sieze as contraband, neu-
tral goods in neutral bottoms, If she
has reason to believe that such goods
have Germany for their ultimate des-
tination. She takes the position that
even raw cotton may be considered con-
traband under certain conditions. A
Washington dispatch of yesterday
says the president has given assurance
to American merchants engaged in the
foreign trade, that all legal rights will
be protected by the United States.

The Washington correspondent of
the News and Courier says that dem
agogues having inspired false hopes OF
Federal financial legislation for the
benefit of the distressed cotton farm
ers, have created a situation that
makes a majority of the southern
congressman afraid to go home.
The idea is that there have been in
troduced a number of foolish, impos-
sible bills that nobody ever expected to
get through, that the congress would
not think of allowing to go through.
Yet. now that these fool breaks have
been made. it is up to the members to
try to explain the matter to their con-
Stituents as best they can. Accord
ing to the correspondent a number OF
southern members have announced
their intention to fight adjournment,

ity of the members are ready TO ad-
