DelOIc u Woulu SSS eiS
back industrially to where we were
in 1914. If we do, it IS because we
arc too cowardly or too ignorant to
stand up and maintain our rights.
There is no relief for us that I see
except for the governors of the
Southern setaes to step to the front
like men and become the champions
Of their people.
We are oppressed by official finar-
cial power directed by shrewd Eng
lish domination. The whole plan was
worked up when Sir George Paish
visited this country last winter. Why
should America graciously lower and
defer payment of interest on foreign
debts due us, and simultaneously in
crease interest and close credits down
OH cotton? Are we to pauperize the
South, in order to rehabilitate Eng
land? I know it to be- a fact, that
Germany will do anything in her
power to get two million bales of cot
ton. She wants it from America,
ndt as a re-purchase from England.
Germany has the men, women ana
machinery to manufacture it and re-
turn payment in goods. Why not re-
turn for Il time to barter and escape
the tyranny Of manipulated foreign
exchange rates?
Are the present leaders in the
South going to allow our cotton TO be
squeezed out of our hands by the
English board Of commerce: which
was in session all during the war to
devise ways for their own post war
interests? This board actually pub
lished after the armisticc, that crude
products must be withheld from Ger
mary until England, France and Bel
gium could rebuild their factories
and virtually control the commcrc:
Of the world at the expense of the
producers of America,
The recent arbitrary action OF the
federal reserve bank only empha-
sizes English power, through Wall
street, to pauperize our people, to
enable Wall street to collect its Eng
lish debts.
No honest man wants to escape his
lust share toward paying the cost OF
the war, but it seems that only labor
and the products of labor are to pay.
What arc We going to do? Lock the
stable after the horse is gone? Kun
off after some impossible export COM
pany, founded on voluntary contrlou'
tions? l say no, let us use our state
governments to- the limit. 1t is the
only way to get united action. Take
all the law will give us, bring into
play every power left and absolutely
decline to be led off into the wilder
ness after an ignis factuus.
Let US develop our state banking
system and keep our resources where
they can not be manipulated to throt-
tie us. With a state banking system
and state warehouse, let US tell Hard
ing and Houston if they can get or
without the proceeds Of our cotton
crop, we will in the future keep 1t al
home and finance ourselves.
Remember first. that this loss OF
nearly billion dollars will be borne
by the cotton states.
Remember second, that it Will be
borne entirely by the produceESs OF
; cotton.
The banks, lawyers, doctors an(
merchants will insist upon their pa!
in full.
! Remember third, that it fall:
heaviest on the poorest planters with
out personal credit. Tell me that

should contract and expand as the
business needs of the country ex-
pands and contracts. Last spring fed
eral reserve banks were freely dis
counting paper on cotton as high as
35 cents pound. This of course en-
couraged a large acreage and extrav-
aigance.. The time to contract credits
would have been then if regard was
to be had to the true spirit of the law,
but no, Wall street was cunning for
the South. There was "a "joker" in
the federal reserve act;ijust as there
was in 1873. Some Republican sena-
tor stuck in clause amending the
house bill SO as to compel 40 per
cent. geld reserve to maintained

believe this is the real reason why
Mr.. McAdoo resigned and also why
he did not desire to be- candidate
for president. l wish he were in
there now, for / am sure he would
answer Wall street in the only way
it can be answered, flood this coun-
try with credits and put prices up so
that the debts can be repaid in the
same kind of money in which they
were contracted 1t is the only
square, honest thing to do. There is
no hope with Houston and Harding.
The first is Il common man risen to
power, a social climber currying ia
vor. and Harding hasn't got backbone
Of Il guinea pig. 1t is easy to see
what John Shelton Williams, The real
man, would do if he had the power.
We all know what would be Nc
AGoo' policy. In fact if McAdoo
were in there, that Wall street bunch
would never have dared attempt this
bold robbery of our entire people.
Now failing in that, what is our
best policy? l can say this: The
governor Of any Southern state who
does not exercise every constitutional
power to protect his people is either
a coward, d weakling or fool.
If l were governor of South Caro-
lima I would Immediately call the leg
islaturc together as we did in 1914,
and / would put the whole power of
this state behind the cotton crop. The
very notice that I attended to do it
would intimidate men, who know that
it is an unjust and cruel attack they
are making on the producers of this
state.
AS long as they refuse to accept a
warehouse receipt as collateral,
there is no advantage in having ware
house receipts. would by proclama-
tion call upon every farmer not to
gin bale of cotton, nor sell bale,

pass a moratorium which would pro-

ing still. l would warn every man
that we were proceeding strictly
within the law and | would see to it
that the law was enforced every
where to both rich and poor.
! If banks in 1907 could declare a
! moratorium without law, why can we
not declare one with law? It will be
too late after our cotton is sold far
below cost of production. For my
self, l would freely sacrifice my life

Everybody was told that we must
maintain the gold reserve, and the
first thing man did in the morning
was to look at the paper and see
whether the gold reserve was up or
down. Wall street would gather up
currency and send it down and get
gold. The treasury would issue more
currency and Wall street would re-
peat the performance. 1t is TOOL
thing to look at now, but it put cot
ton to FIVE cents a pound, wheat %

in nv life. The great paic of 1873
following the Civil War, was brought
about by an amendment to curren-

This seemingly harmless amendment
was construed to mean that currency
should be retired and silver coinage
limited, and that all money, lnclud-
ing silver, should be redeemed IN
gold. 1t was known as "Black FIJI
day." The panic that followed dld
not hurt the South much because we
had nothing left to lose. 1t made
over night the monicd class twice as
rich and doubled the debts OF the
,, country. These conditions kept up
more or less until 1898, when Cleve-
+ land undertook to repeal the entire
purchasing clause in the Sherman

Avoid the Rusty" Mind.

Many women in the so called COM
Portable classes who lead rather
purposeless existences are frequent
ly the victims of nervous disorders
difficult to catalogue and hard to
cure. The rich woman who is as ousy
with her committees, boards. etc, as
is the wage-earning woman at her
daily task, will not be found in this
class. 1t Is rather the wives of sal
aried men whose households are not
enough to occupy their time and
whose diversions do not require any
amount of concentration.
DR.. Bernard Hollander. who is a
nerve specialist, says: Loss Of will
power and mental energy is rare
among women whose thinking is
productive and fertile; but it is a
common thing among those who let
life conquer them. 1t is common
among inactive women of meditative
but non-productive brain, and among
those who do not work consecutive
ly but in fits and starts. The one
thing that is really trying Is the set
ting in motion. II we do not work
regularly we are constantly obliged
to renew the setting in motion to
compel our brains to becon-s atten-
tive. to constrain to a given task by
command, and this even the most
gifted find fatiguing."
The thing that is vital to keep
ourselves mentally. nervousiy and
physically At is to have sufficient in

Daily Horoscope

This Is rather a doubtful day In
its cumulative planetary influences.
according to astrology. While
Uranus and Saturn are in benefic
aspect in the early morning. Nep-
tune is strongly adverse during the
hours OF business. In the evening
Jupiter is friendly. 49,
Distortion OF view on public
questions is held to be encouraged
by the malign power Of Neptune
which clouds the mind and encour-
ages belief In evil.
Deceit and treachery are sup
posed to be much easier to practice
while this confguration prevails.
The tendency toward untruthful-
ness and exaggeration may be en-
phasized during this sway.
The hours after sundown are
most propitious for the good for
tune OF men in the learned profess
sions, especially for lawyers.
Entertainments of every sort AT
which speeches are made. especial
ly banquets, are supposed to be
lucky tonight.
Music again will benefit from the
position of the stars which will m
spire popular interest in concerts
and operas.
Reforms that lead to simpler
modes of life will be much preasn-
ed during the next few months.
Much association in clubs and
organizations is foretold for men
for there will be many schisms.
Stars that make for separations
and feuds are powerful.
One of the seers who has gaineo
great credence prophesies that dis
coveries- regarding the thinking
powers of the lower animals will
feeling against their slaughter.
While the aspects that encour-
aged psychic investigation are less
patent in their effects than for
merly, science will take up investi-
cations that will prove many facts
regarding the occult world.
Again attention is called to the
aspect of Saturn near the cusp Of
the second in square to Mars.
which is read as foreshadowing a
panic in Wall Street some time in
the autumn.
Persons whose birthdate IT Is

year which will bring losses IL any
risks are taken.
Children born on this day will
probably be more interested in the
