senate committee on education.

senate cOmmlttee on eQucdIloH
One ofthe bills appropriates $4,000
year to promote vocational training
in agriculture, trades and industries
and home economics, this amount en-
abling the. State to qualify under the
act of congress providing federal aid
for this purpose.
The other appropriates s125,00o to
enable every school voting an eight
mill levy for current expenses to CON
tinue in session full seven months
term.
! This second bill also provides for a
maximum wage for teachers. Prin-
cipaisSof one or two teacher school
the first year is to receive not more
than IS a month; three teacher
school principal the first year is not
to receive salary in excess of 80
a month; four teacher principal not
more than $105, and five teacher
principal not more than $120. An ad-
ditional 5 month is to be allowed
the second year and another SIS a
month the third year.
AS to Finances.
|, The amount ofthe general appropri-
lation bill will have to be determined,
as usual in free conference commit
tee, unless, of course, the house should
agree to all the increases made by
the senate-which is never done. For
instance, the senate has increased
some salaries inthe judiciary depart
iment, and the house had heretofore
agreed to. a partial increase. There
may be other increases by the sen
ate. The house cut the measure al
most to the bone.

Governor Cooper Issues Proclamation
Urging One.Third Acreage Reduc-
tion-Calls on Growers to Meet in
Every County and Sign Pledges
February 2sth, Acreage Reduction
Day.

Governor Cooper issued a proclama
ttion Thursday night in which he
designated Saturday, February 2S
Cotton Acreage Reduction Day"
cut Of one-third Of the. acreage Gus
ltoniarily planted is urged and also a
reduction in the supply of fertilizer
used.
The governor calls on the farmers
ito assemble in each county that day
to discuss and agree upon plans look
ing to the holding o fthe present crop
Ito the protection of this cotton
against damages incident to exposure
to the weather, to the curtailment OF
the yield of the 1919 crop, and to sign
the reduction pledges presented. I'm.
less this be done, we may expect
poverty while others enjoy wealth.
the governor warns. The full procla.
nation reads:
Whereas, an extraordinary situation
exists in the cotton growing States,
due to the low price cotton is bring.
ing, (which situation threatens dire
financial distress and suffering to
these States, because the existing
market prices do not allow any mar.
gin of profit to the producers of cot.
ton. and
: Whereas, this situation is caused by
the fact that the available supply OF
raw cotton is in excess of the demand
which condition. will continue il ths
1918 CROP should be a Large one; and
Whereas. the only piausibIe solu
ton for the Situation that presents II

: New, therefore, I, Robert A. Cooper
governor of South Carolina, do de
clare Saturday, February 2S, 1919, tt
be Cotton Acreage Reduction Day, and
do call upon the cotton planters Of
South Carolina to pledge themselves
upon that day to reduce the acreage
ordinarily planted in cotton by one
third, and to, curtail the use of com
merciaT fertilizers.
Cotton growers today have on hant
more than one-third Of the 1918 crop
which they cannot sell at prevailing
prices without sustaining great loss
It is matter of common knowledge
that the ratio of supply to demand de
termines prices, and should the sup
ply of raw cotton, already too large
be greatly augmented by large crol
in 1919, the result would be tremen
dously disastrous to the individuals o1
the South, to the States, and to the
South at large. The prudent merchan,
who is overstocked with q line o,
wares does not procure more of those
wares before he has sold that which
he has on hand, and has paid 4 for
Southern cotton growers must operate
on this same principle. Unity Of pur
pose and concert of action will save
us from calamity, and give to us ou1

other sections of the nation arc en-

Slaves in Abvssinia

The inhabitants of the Gemira
country in Abyssinia are pagans. They

the Wah of the Galla-and also in
secondary genii dwelling on the earth.
Slavery is not officially recognized, but
it exists in fact, though with some ex
tenuation in form. The slave is not
free to change his master; he is put
in chains if suspected of an intention
of escaping; he is beaten if he does
not work or march at the will Of his
master, and he receives no pay. On
the other hand, if he can be present

must be designated gabare (''subject'o

Will Require Many Experts.

There will have to be mixed arbi-
trial tribunal established between each
of the allied and associated powers on
the one hand and Germany on the
other within three months after the
ratification of the treaty. Each of these
tribunals is to consist of three men,
bers. The United States will, in case
Der of the tribunal which is to repre-
sent it, Germany will appoint one mem
Der, and the two thus appointed will
choose the third. There will also have
to be created a permanent commission
which will advise the council of the
League of Nations on military, naval
and air questions 1t will also be nee
essary for the United States to name
members of more than q score of other
commissions that are to deal with
problems growing out of the war.
A typical commission is the one pro-
vided for to deal with the Saar basin.
This commission, it will be recalled, is
to consist of five members chosen by
the council of the League of Nations
and will include one citizen of France,
one native inhabitant of the Saar ba-
sin, not a citizen of France, and three
members belonging to three countries
other than France or Germany. In
this particular case the treaty does not
say specifically that the United States
must be represented, but it is taken for
granted that 1t will be. In nearly %v-
cry other case in which a commission
is provided for the United States is
mentioned as one of the countries that
must be represented.
Congress will also have to deal with
the manufactures. If, as is generally
understood, this government agrees to
look after the Armenians, congress
will have to say how the government
shall go about this. There is also pro-
vision in the League of Nations COW
enant for permanent commission
which is to receive and examine all
the annual reports of the manufactures
provided for under the treaty, and
the United States is to be represent
ed on this commission
