FACES FIGHT IN PARTY,
WAR REVENUE LEGISLATION Is
STUMBLING BLOCK.
Leadcr Underwood Will Ask President
Wilson to Make Open Espousal of
the Tax.

washington, Sept. 13.---War revenue
legislation faces a fight within Dem
ocratic ranks this week that NAV rival
the Panama tolls struggle. Revolt
against proposed 8 per cent. on
freight transportation charges con-
tinues to grow and party caucus has
been demanded.
So strong were protests last week
that administration leaders decided to
await the return of President Wilson
before introducing the revenue bill.
Majority Leader Underwood plans to
see the president on his arrival from
New Hampshire and ask an open
espousal of the tax. Officials close to
the president have said he unhcsita-
tingly would support the freight tax,
while others believe he will advise the
committee to make third attempt
TO provide means for increasing the
revenue without precipitating party
strife.
Several Democrats including men,
bers Of the ways and means committee
already are preparing substitutes for
the committee bill. Some insist that
stamp tax still will have to be ac-
cepted.
Another source Of trouble is the
failure of the senate committee On
commerce in it's readjustment of the
rivers and harbors appropriation bill
to satisfy Republican members fill

Oh thls excess cotton, it will avert

The Buy-a-Balc Movement.

The "buy q bale Of cotton move
ment" is not a charity proposition"
That ought to be obvious to cverv-
body.
The people Of this community who
are asked to join in the movement arc
not asked to give money away. They
are asked to make an investment
which so far rs one can see now, will
probably turn out to be a good invest
ment for them from a business point
of view. If they lose anything ut all,
it will certainly be very little and
they are more likely to break even or
come out ahead
That is undoubtedly the fact. Even
If the fact were otherwise, even if the
investor faced Il certain money loss
the buy bale movement could not be
regarded as in any true sense a char
ity proposition. 1t is primarily an ef-
fort to save the farmers of the South
from q tremendous loss. If they suf-
fer that loss, not only the farmers
but every one of us will feel the cf-
fects. The loss will fall upon all Of
us-and the loss might amount to
$3.50, 100000. The buy bale move
mcnt is, therefore, not only an effort
to help the farmer. 1t is an effort to
help every one of us in the South, to
save every one of us i'm the South
from IL great calamity the burden Of
which, If it comes, we shall all have
bear.
The cotton crop this year will bc
one of the biggest and best ever grown.

Today's market was a pleasant sur
prise to everyone. advancing IA and
closing strong late this afternoon at s
cent basis. This advance is due to a
combination of causes.
In the first place. the newspaper
Buy Bale" movement coupled with
the tenacious holding by the farmer
has removed so much cotton from the
market that the offerings are very
little. In the second place, the short
interest continues to cover and in the
third place. upper Carolina mills who
had figured very closely or how far
their supplies would last. have now
reached the middle of September at
which time they expected to buy cot
ton In large volume locally off wagons
Tho farmer in the upper part Of
South Carolina Is not selling any
more cotton than the farmer in other
section and these mills are now seeking
cotton everywhere. In the present
temper We think the rally will go fur
ther in spite Of the fact that money
is still 'unobtainable on cotton in any
volume whatever.
Yours very truly.
