pound, basis middling, was fair
price for cotton; that the investigation
be made for the purpose Of ascertain
ing who made this statement, who
was responsible for the issuance of
same to the press; who was responsi-
BILE for the long delay in correcting
sane,7 and; further, that they take all
necessary steps that lie, within their
power for such punishment as can be
legally meted out to the party who
was responsible for said statement.
Cotton Seed Situation.
The price of cotton seed was set at
per ton for less than carload lots. AS
matter of patriotism the farmer was
urged to hold his cotton seed and
market them slowly, which he did.
When the price of cotton seed was
first set it was far below prevailing
prices. AS result of the producer
holding his seed today there is in the
cotton belt vast amount of seed un-
sold. The mills are offering to receive.
these seed on storage, carrying them
until such time as they get ready to
buy same. The producer having en-
dorsed every effort for what he con-
| siders square deal is today using his
seed for fertilizing purposes-an ex-
tremely expensive operation. Cotton
seed oil was largely replaced by i'm
ported, cheap grade oil, which oil
practically knocked out the sale of
cottonseed oil, and off grade, inferior
oil was used for adulterating lard
This resulted in vast amount of un-
salable cottonseed oil and greatly
added to the ovcrbrrdened condition
of the South.
Be it, therefore, resolved, That the
officials in charge of the price fixing
and handling of cotton seed and cot
tonseed oil be, and are hereby, re-
quested as matter Of simple justice
to the farmers and all partise con-
cerned to use such means and take
such steps as will result in at least
slightly remedying the serious situa-
tion which has been brought about as
result of these conditions, and that
they take necessary steps at once and
issue instruction to have cotton seed
bought by the mills. Any delay on
their part simply means that cotton
seed will go on the ground as fer
tilizer, regardless of the tremendous
sacrifice and loss to the farmer, who
justly feels that under these condi-
tions he is without a friend, and that
it is a useless matter for him to longer
rely on promises.
The congressman and senators from
South Carolina are further urged and
requested to use every. effort to have
the cottonseed situation relieved, so
as to save the producer from this un-
necessary and unjust loss.

Further, that the delegation, includ-
ing the senators and congressman
meet, elect chairman and secretary,
organize and take all the necessary
steps for the purpose outlined herein
and such additional purposes as they
will feel will be of practical benefit to
the cotton belt.
Further, that they are hereby re-

United States senators and congress

States, urging that they take similar

Government Estimates.
A checking Of cotton planted in the
various counties of the cotton belt
shows that acreage planted in cotton
in 1913 and previous years by the
United States department of agricul-
ture, bureau Of crop estimates is in
correct. A house TO house canvass Of
every farmer living in certain coun-
ties, together with the checking Of
every piece Of land planted in cotton

ton of doubt that the method en-
ployed by the United States depart
nent of agriculture Of estimating cot
ton acreage production is crude and
| Incorrect, and often results in injus-
tice and unfairness to the South.
Therefore, be it resolved, That the
methods employed by the government
, of taking cot-on crop reports is in
adequate 20 meet present needs; that
the methods now adopted by the gov
ernment fail TO meet the necessities of
, :he occasion, and are even inaccurate

and incorrect. There other methods
should be adopted: The method em-
ployed in securing cotton acreage is
crude, and more in the form Of an
estimate than complete and correct
statement Of acreage.
Would Change Method.
We, therefore, urge. chat the, con
gressional and senatorial committees
referred to above be requested to use
their best efforts to induce the govern
ment to recheck their acreage figures
for the years 1917 and 1918 in ample
time to permit them TO issue correct
acreage figures for 1919. That, after
rechecking same, they issue state
ment correcting such errors as maybe
found therein. Furthermore, that they
be urged and requested to employ
methods that will insure the correct
ness of these reports in the future.
Probe War Industries.
Whereas, on the basis of the manu-
factured product, cotton should have
sold for rs cents per pound, basis
middling, in the early fall of 1913,
and whereas, upon the price set by
the war industrial board cotton was
worth GO cents, basis middling, and
after the price was reduced by the
war industrial board for the manufac-
tured product, cotton was worth 40
cents, basis middling, and whereas
there is d deep feeling Of dissatisfac-
tion and well grounded suspicion
throughout the length and breadth of
the cotton belt, and in other sections
of the country that cotton was not
permitted to move on it's own merits;
that the cotton farmer did not receive
square Geal. Whereas, it was re-
ported throughout the leading press
during the time the price fixing of
cotton was agitated that one of the
leading officials of the government
had issued statement to the press
that 25 cents, basis middling, was a
fair and reasonable price for cotton
and whereas this statement was not
corrected for days, and as a result
brought tremendous loss to the
South.
Therefore, be it resolved, That each
and every one of the congressman
from South Carolina and each of the
senator's from South Carolina are
hereby urgently petitioned to use
every effort in their power to have an
investigation made of the war indus
trial boards activities and works
especially as to such activities, acts
deeds and works affecting the price of
cotton, what steps they took, if any
either collectively, as a board or in
dividually directly or indirectly, that
bore on the price of cotton, to have
a thorough investigation of said mat
ter made and the public furnished
with full and detailed information.
Furthermore, that each and every
one Of the congressman from South
Carolina and each of the senators

gently requested and petitioned to in

Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion Of the ear.
There is only one way to cure ca
tarrhal deafness, and that is by con-
stitutional remedy. Catarrhal Deaf
ness is caused by an inhaned condi-
tion Of the mucous lining Of the Eusta-
chian Tube. When this tube is in
famed you have rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed, Deafness is the result.
Unless the inflammation can be re-
duced and this tube, restored to it's
normal condition, hearing will be de-
stroyed forever. Many cases Of deaf
ness are caused by catarrh, which is
an inhamed condition of the mucous
surfaces. Halls Catarrh Medicine
acts thru the blood on the mucous
surfaces Of the system.

The Childrcn's Bureau of Delaware is
going To and the State Board of Education,
In seeing that every child brought INTO

There has been much talk and some agi-

"child slaves" Of Delaware, the same
meaning children imported into the State

between two and three hundred children
who are brought here and put at work.
The matter of looking up these children
and keeping trace of them will be quite
