Cotton Acreage Reduction.

News and Courier
The movement to bring about re-
ducton Of the cotton acreage has the
endorsement Of the strongest leader
ship the farmers of this section have
We do not think that the sCundness
of such a policy can be successfully
attacked. All the conditions cry a
warning against the production of a
big cotton crop this year. The South
cannot disregard this warning with
out paying dearly for the experience
Of course the effectiveness of what
was done at Columbia on Thursday
must depend upon what is done also
in the other cotton growing States.
The acreage-reduction movement
must be general if it Is to accomplish
results. It can be made general and
the promise is that it is going to
be. Campaigns similar to that just
initiated for South Carolina already
are under way or in contemplation
for o.her Cotton States likewise.
The energy and the earnestness
with which the movement is pushed
will tell the story. In the past eff
forts to put through a campat n of
this kind have failed first Of all be-
cause the farmers themselves did not
have faith in the movement. Over and
?boYe that, the bankers and mer-
chants who were behind the farmers
rsbelieved in it also. They were
ready enough to grant dit on a
prospective cotton crop regardless Of
the price outlook. They were. not
ready to grant credit on anything else
the farmers could offer.
The bankers and the merchants and
the farmers have all learned a thing
or two in the past four years. 1t has
been proved that organized effort Is
possible and that organized effort
does count. It has been discovered
that it does pay to raise other things
along with cotton. Credit CO dit ons
are in all respects healthier. Finally,
the labor situation is such as to con-
stitute powerful argument in favcr
of a reduced cotton acreage inst al
of an argument ag int it as was the
case up 10 three years ago.
The influence which a big cotton
acreage would have on cot n pr ccs
is enough of itself to ntrol the CO.
ton growers. 1t is only one Cf num-
bnr of powerful reas"ns why thy
should cut thn cotton acr age. Tu' if
this is to BE- the program l. should be
pvt tito OperH ton t r md widN and
in the most thoroughgoing fashion.
That cln only he ne by means Of
an effcc'i i've organization and much
hard work.

Earl Hayes, Dillon County Boy, Win
ner in the Boys State Corn Club

of a letter from Supt. l.. l.. Baker
stating that Earl Hayes, a Dillon
county boy, is winner of the second

short term course at Clemson College
during the summer Of 1918. The
scholarship was given by the college
and the banks of the county contrib
uted the money for his travelling eX-
penses. As a boy he is not allowed
to attend the short course more than
once and last year the county banks
furnished the money to buy him
SIS watch. Last year Earl made
951h bushels of corn at a cost Of ~
cents pc bushel.
The state prize winners have been
invited to Charleston by the Charles
ton Chamber of Commerce when
dinner will be given in their honor.

own action leads them into distress.
But remember that there is . good
way. Look in the bulletin. Food plus
cotton equals prosperity. Full pro
duction of the food for our people
and the feed for our growing live
stock industry in the south should be
the first and most important consid-
Grafton. Safe farming demands eau
ton this time. Supply your own needs
first as a sound measure Of protee-
ton, then hold your cotton acreage
down to a moderate figure, less than
in 1918, in order that we may safe
guard the production and not destroy
our prosperity by deliberately over
producing. 1t is up to the south to
play a safe game. Safety first de-
mands that every cotton farmer, big
and little, shall cooperate in holding
down the cotton acreage.
Yours very truly,
BRADFORD KNAPP,
NJ Chief.

SUES NEWSPAPER FOR 100000.
Former Lieutenant Governor Bcthea
Asks Heavy Damages from
Columbia Record.

Andrew J. Bethea, former lieuten-
ant-governor, has brought an action
against the Columbia Evening Record
for 100000. Gov. Bethea alleges
malicious slander. In view of the fact
that Dillon is the native home OF
Lieut. Gov. Bethea much local inter-
est is felt in the proceeding.
Lieut.Gov. Bethea went to an Of
ficers training camp in the New Eng
land states early last fall and receiv-
ed a captains commission. Shortly
after returning home he was advanc-
ed to the rank Of major. He still held
his commission as lieutenant-govern-
or and presided over the senate until
his successor was sworn in. He was
wearing his uniform while presiding
over the senate, and it is alleged that
the Columbia newspaper made slight
ing remarks Of the incident, calling
attention to the fact that the lieut.
enant-governor had no right to wear
his uniform because he was not in
active service. Later the Columbia
paper published an article under the
caption, 'Licut-Governor Disrobes," "
or something to that effect in which
it is alleged that Mr.. Bethea was
held up to ridicule. Following the
publication of the last article Mr.. Be-
thea brought suit against the news
paper for 100000, alleging mali
cious SANDER.

corning the indianapolis boom.
Lockwood has told friends that his
business interests at this time would
preclude his being a candidate for any
office, but that was before Will H.

had definitely withdrawn from the
race. It is known that Lockwood, If
be decides to enter the race, will have

American Oil Interests
Want Intervention, Claim

NEW YORK. Aug. 7-American oil
interests are charged with manufac-
turing States into war with Mexico
in a report on the Mexican situation,
made public here today by the board
Of foreign missions of the Presbyter-
ian church, The report was prepared
by Samuel G. Inman, executive sec
rotary Of the American section Of the
committee on cooperation in Latin
America, representing the American
and Canadian mission boards.
Mr.. Inman charges that the Ameri-
can people are being deceived by in
spired propaganda and that Inter
vention in Mexico is coming just as
fast as certain interests can possibly
force it." The oil men whom Mr.. In
man accuses are declared to have
large Offices in Washington and New
York and unlimited supplies Of money.
Intervention, Mr.. 1nman maintains,
would mean the destruction Of all
American mission work in Mexico.
