SAYS GOVERNMENT
WAS HOODWINKED
Commissioner Summers Comments on
Drop in Cotton
REPORT TO LEGISLATURE
Charges That Bitter and Acrimonious
Fight is Being Made on
South.

Columbia, Dec. 15.-Following the
upsetting of labor conditions in the
South by the establishment of mill
tary training camps in this section
and the unprecedented wages paid ar
tisans and common labor, at was par
ticularly cruel and unjust that, at this
moment, the government should have
been hoodwinked by designing persons
who sought to manipulate the cotton
market for personal speculation and
private aggrandizement," will say the
annual report of A. C. Summers, State
Commissioner of Agriculture, Com
merce and Industries, to the General
Assembly.
Tho report charges that the bitter
ard acrimonious fight being made on
the South and the South's staple crop,
cotton, camoufaged under plea Of
administration favoritism to this sec
tion, is but an effort to beat down the
social and industrial fabric of the
Southern section Of the nation and to
cause the South to revert to "a con-
dition Of feudalism and great estates"
This section of the report will say:
"The industrial life of the country
was metamorphosed during the period
Of the war 1t appears to have been
the policy Of the government not to
establish new industrials, but to
convert the on-essentials" to war
purposes and to enlarge eisting
plants. For that reason there was not
a great amount Of Industrial expan-
sion in the South.
"Certain sections of the country
which rallied at the administration at
Washington because military camps
were established in the South, appear
to have been unmindful Of the fact
that the government was very gener-
Gus to the Industries Of other sections
Of the country, and that the South did
not murmur because Of any apparent
sectional favoritism thereby shown
Had the administration been partial
to the South, new industries Of great
magnitude would have been located
here.

GAS it is, the building of military
camps has greatly upset labor cond-
tions in the South. The South's main
industry is agriculture, and removing
from that industry thousands of work.
ers and giving them undreamed of
wages as artisans and mechanics not
only interfered with crop-making and
gathering for the present, but
also has given to a portion of that
class distaste for farm work in the
future.
"This was the fortune of war and
we accept the result as gracefully as
we may, yet it is a fact that is we'll
known and condition which must
be faced, particularly here in South
Carolina. This is indeed crisis in
the agricultural history of the State.
While all branches of trade and indus
try are naturally apprehensive, all
waiting for strong hand strong
head, strong heart to give them
directing, yet the condition in the
agriculture of our State are peculiarly
sensitive at this moment.
"For this reason it was particularly
cruel and unjust that at this moment
the government should have been
hoodwinked by designing persons, who
sought to manipulate the cotton mar
ket for personal speculation and pri-
vate aggrandizement.
"There wat as stake more than the
mere price Of the crop of 1918. The
far-reaching effects of this dastardly
attack upon the South may be OBJ
served at glance when it is under
stood that cotton is the South's in
dustry as we'll as the South's crop.
If the South should be beaten down
and disheartened in this attack, the
South would suffer continuously. The
South's main Industrial would be dis
credited. The fight which leaders Of
Southern thought have been waging
would be doomed to failure and the
South, instead of enjoying industrial
freedom, would revert to q condition
of feudalism and great estates. The
effort Of the State Deartment of Ag-
riculture and of other progressive
agencies for the last fifteen years hos
been to arouse the people of the
South, to cause them to get out of
the rut and to show them that agri-
culture can be made profitable and
enjoyable. The rural South has been
the truest type Of Americanism. To
destroy the opportunities for devel-
oping the South by bringing failure
as the reward Of service would be
very cruel indeed, and yet to those
who try to look into the future this
is the sole conclusion that can be

Norfolk, Va, Dec. 15.-Cheering
Justify as their heels dug once again
into the soil of America, more than
600 officers and enlisted men of the
navy, in the aviation service, all of
whom saw service with the American
fleet operating in the sea war zone
of Europe, landed early this morning
from the American transport Susquc-
hanna, at the Hampton Roads naval
operating base.
Alternating rain and driving mist
banks greeted the men and prevented
a demonstration. With their personal
belongings on their shoulders the men
marched ashore and they were bill
leted at the basse to await further
orders.

PUT TO FLIGHT BY WOMEN
Hostile Demonstration Against For

Amsterdam, Dec. 15.-A crowd of
women recently went to the island of

Crown Prince, who is interncd there,
according to report published by
The Telegraaf.,
Frederick William, it is alleged,
saved himself from the hands of the
women by flight.
"The police force on the island later
took action, which resulted in Ger

leaving the island.
