TWO PROPOSITIONS
The Cotton Market Situation In a
Nutshell

There is no more important pro,
blem before the South today than
that Of getting fair prices for thu
South's cotton crop. The prosperity
of our merchants, bankers, and pro-
fessional men, as we'll as the pros
perity of our farmers depend upon
the right solution of this problem
and all should interest themselves IN
it.
Of two propositions there seems
to be no reason for doubt:
(1) Conditions are such that hold
ers of spot cotton should not sell at
present prices.
(2) Conditions are such that the
1919 crop acreage should be sharp
ly cuff possible, as much as SO 1-3
per cent.
In other words, u) the present
crop being 50 short, must surely
bring higher prices than now pre-
vail; but (2) planting the same
acreage we planted last year might
easily produce a crop so large as to
make disastrously low prices next
fall.
This is the situation in a nutshell.
Last year the South produced
only 156 pounds of lint cotton per
acre. In 1914 we made 209 pounds
per acre, or exactly one-third more
per acre than last year-which
means that if last years acre yield
had been as good as in 1914, our
crop would have been 15,600,000
bales instead of 100000.
Or it means that if we plant last
years acreage this year and the
yield is as good as in 1914, we will
have 15,600,000 bales to market in
stead of 100000 as in the case Of
the present crop.
We must insist on fair prices for
our 100000 bale crop-and We
are confident we shall get better
prices than now obtain-but we can't
afford to risk a 100000 bale crop'
To hold to the present crop and
reduce the next crop is manifestly
therefore the one way to relieve the
present cotton situation; but We
hope the present emergency will set
US to thinking about ways to per-
manently increase the price of cot
ton. Progressive Farmer.

BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF UNI.
VERSITY TO MEET TO-DAY

The board of trustees of the Uni
versity of South Carolina has been
called to meet today by Governor
Cooper, exofficial chairman of the
board, to investigate the cause un-
derlying the petition of 116 students
of the institution, filed with the
board at it's regular meeting in
March, asking for the removal of
DR.. William Spenser Currell. presi-
dent Of the university.
Just what course Of procedure
will be taken by the board of trus-
tees is not known, but in a state
ment to the public, and in a letter to
the student body shortly after the
filing of the petition, Governor
Cooper stated that through inves-
tigation of the whole matter will be
made by theb oard.
While the students in their peti-
ton gave high commentator to the
integrity and the scholarship of
President Currell, they alleged that
he was temperamentally untitled to
continue as president of the univer-
sity, and they requested that he be
removed for the good Of the institu-
ton, which, they cliamed, could not
continue to grow and expand under
his administration.
Neither DR.. Currell nor the board
of trustees have given out a state
ment other than that by Governor
Cooper, ,on the petition. Since the Pc
tition the students have held sever
al meetings at the university, prin-
cipally for the purpose Of placing
the responsibility Of giving copies
of their petition to the press.
1t is believed by the friends Of
the university that a thorough probe
into the conditions will be made by
the board today.

The Negro and Cotton Prices

Now let US get back to the Negro.
In this matter of cotton prices, we
can't have one rule for the white
man and another for the Negro.
If the Negro cotton farmer pros
pers, the white cotton farmer Will
prosper. If the Negro laborer must
accept a low wage-scale, the white
laborer must accept a low wage
scale-and the white farm owner
who works his land must accept the
same low wage-scale in the form OF
lower prices for his products.
Moreover, if the Negro farmer
keeps his children out of school and
in the cotton field, must not the
white farmer do the same thing 70
meet this Negro competition?
The South must come to the point
where it will be glad to see the Ne
gro get a high wage for his labor
Does it not mean higher wages for
the white man also? And therefore
higher prices for what the South
sells. And therefore more dollars
for our merchants, bankers, and all
our business men? And even If q
temporary scarcity Of labor Is
necessary in order to bring up the
South's wage-scale to that Of other
sections, may it not prove bless
ing in the long run?-The Progress
sive Farmer.

ITALY CANT HAVE FIUME
Italians, Delegation to Leave Paris

Paris, April 23.-(By the Associ-
ated Press.)-President Wilson's
emphatic declaration that he will
not yield on the .Adiatic question
has created the most profound SEN
sation in the peace conference. He
has thrown down the guantlet to the
supporters Of secret treaties in a
manner which almost took away the
breath of the delegates who have
been urging compromise on points
covered by many secret documents
and at variance With the President :
fourteen points.
President Wilson's sweeping de-
claration while aimed directly at the
Adriatic problem, also reaches the
Kiau Chau controversy, in which
Japan relies on secret agreements
made with Great Britain, France
and Italy in 1917 to support her in
her claim to the concessions held BY
Germany IN Shanturg.
Paris. April o. O.; the Asso-
c,ated PreSs).-After q conference
held by the Italian delegation to he
n-aco conference this afternoon i
was announced that the delegates
would leave Paris tomorrow.
Premier Orlando, of Italy, this
crering addressed an official COM
mun;cat;on TO Premier Clemenceau
president of the peace conference
saying that as a result of the de,
claration by President Wilson, the
Italians had decided to leave Paris
