SURVEY OF COTTON
NEEDS TO BE MADE

Columbia, May 19.-A complete
survey of the cotton situation to
determine how much cotton is
needed by foreign manufacturers
to run them before the 1920 crop
becomes available will be made at
once by American consuls, officials
of the American Cotton association
said here today. This will be done
in compliance with a resolution Of
fered by Senator Ellison D. Smith
of South Caroina at the request of
the American cotton and passed by
congress.
This resolution, it was stated by
cotton association officials here, in
structs the secretary of state of the
United States to secure from every
United States consul abroad. where
cotton is manufactured, detailed
statistical information concerning
cotton; supplies on hand, amount
that will be needed by those manu-
facturers before the 1920 crop be-
comes available, and use all pos
sible efforts for the purpose CT
broadening the markets in the
countries where they are located.
upon the request of the A
statement issued Wy the associa-
ton, " joint resolution was re-
Gently passed which resulted in the
ceE2'r. department making an in
veStigation of the unspinnable cot
ton at concentration points and
port and interior points. This in
vestigation brought to light the
startling fact that of the cotton be-
ing shown as splnnable cotton
there was one and a quarter million
bales of unsplnnaole character.
This reduces the visible supply of
cotton in America to that extent.
''Thc investigation which is to be
made through American consuls
abroad will bring to light a tremen-
deus additional amount of this cot
ton and an additional reduction in
the worlds supply of spinnable
cotton.
due to the cotton of an unspin-
nable nature being carried and
still counted as spinnable cotton,

INTEREST IN ROAD
ANDERSON AUGUSTA

The Press and Banner has receiv-
ed a letter from Mr.. Hugh C. Mid
G!eton, who writes in connection
with a road from Anderson, Green
vile, Spar:4nburg, etc, to Angus
ia, Ga.
Mr.. Middleton has drawn small
map showing the relative position
of the cities to be affected by this
read if it were completed. Able
vile would soon undoubtly share in
large part of the tourist travel
from Southern points through the
Piedmont section to Asheville and
other North Carolina summer re-
sorts:
Following is an article which Mr.
Middleton clipped from the Angus
ia Herald:
"From Asheville and westward
there is a magnificent highway to
within 18 miles of Augusta, up the
Savannah river, on the South Caro-
lima side. From Asheville, Green
vile, Greenwood, etc., you can
come sailing to a point within 1S
miles of Augusta-and then-the
jumping off pace.
From that point on there is an
eleven mile gap to Richmond
ceunty's roads, that is all; 5 miles
in South Carolina to old Fury's
ferry and thence miles in Colum-
bia county. That II miles is almost
i'm passable and kills the connec-
ton between these systems"
So spoke of Mr. B. C. Middleton
yesterday. And Ne continued:

Carolina to get to Augusta, togeth-
er with the other important aspects
shown. Mccormick county is try
ing to get the South Carolina
highway commission to adopt the

mately to be paved. But manifestly
it would be an awkward thing to
run a big highway in South Caro-
lina to a jumping off place and
ttoo. f Richmond county, Colum-
bia county and the Georgia high
way commission should take up the
matter of cooperation doubtless an
agreement would be reached to
construct the 11-miie gap. There
would be no highway passing

Mr. Middleton further says:
The Importance of gettin" the

wavs for ultimate paving seems to
me to need no argument. But agita-
ton of tho =.:.;bject is doubtless i'm

the people interested.

Mr.. Pennell state engineer, who
said his grandfather used to haul

state highway commission to adopt
this as one of it's main state high
ways and to get the connection eX-
planned, worked out. To get re-
suits, this cooperation of the coun-
ties named, may be important.

DIVIDED, THE DEMOCRATS FALL. :"

Mr.. William j. Bryan made dramatic entrance
into national politics at the jackson Day dinner in
washington last night He split open the Demo
cratic party. He threw down the gauntlet to Presi
dent Wilson on the proper course for the Demo
cratic party to pursue in the matter of the peace
treaty with the Covenant of the League of Ma.
tons attached.
Mr.. Bryan-the Warwick Of 1912 and thrice can
d1date for President-decared the Democratic
party cannot go before the people on the League
of Nations issue, therefore must accept whatever
compromise is possible.
President Wilson-the recognized head of his
party and the man who fathered and promoted the
League of Nations and who demands its incorpora-
tion In the Treaty Of Peace with no reservations
beyond explanatory-says "the clear and single
way to determine the will Of the people on the
League Of Nations is to make 1t an issue in the
next election
Thus the Democratic party finds itself split in
twain on the one issue created by President Will
son. Two conspicuous figures loom up on the
stage OF Democratic politics Two factions are at
the parting of the ways. Which will prevail?
Nothing could more spectacularly stage the des-
perate condition Of one faction and the no less
desperate condition Of the other President Will
son Is meeting a party foe worthy of his steel
Who will win?

A GOOD TINE TO GO SLOW.

The five Socialist members of the State Assem-
bly, from this city having been suspended by their
associates pending investigation of their loyalty to
American institutions, there is need for a calm
and dispassionate attitude on the part of the pub
lie while these cases being investigated. The
State Bar Association does well to call attention
to the increasing tendency in this country to ride
roughshod over the individual liberties guaranteed
all American citizens under the Constitution of
the United States. These liberties can be safe
guarded without the slightest danger to the ma
tonal safety and doubtless the courts will see
that they are
Meanwhile that element of our population which
becomes almost frenzied at the thought of Boil
shevism the Reds do at the thought of law
and orderly government must curb itself or be
curbed. No truer thing was ever said than the ut
terance Of the State Bar Association concerning
the setting aside of constitutional rights, that
there is danger that this fundamental spirit of in
dividual liberty may be seriously impaired in the
supposed interest of public safety and efficient
administration"
Nobody desires to PREJUDICE the cases of the five
Socialist Assemblymen. Presumably the Republi-
can majority in the Assembly which engineered
their suspension, has something more substantial
behind its action than the mere fact that the men
are Socialists. To disfranchise lawmakers elected
by the people on that ground alone would not only
be infamous but would expose those responsible
for it to deserved ridicule.
Or course there are extreme radicals calling
themselves Socialists who are a genuine menace
TO the community. Here in New York, however
the active organization Socialist has, generally
speaking, been rather noffensive type of citi-
zen. He has weakness for street corner oratory
and passionate writings; in our legislative bodies
he is usually found in opposition to everything
anybody else wants, but he has done no real
harm and sometimes has done some good. II is
TOO bad to confuse the majority of the Socialists
as New York knows them with the bewhiskered
unsanitary maniacs who preach bomb throwing to
callow young men and women Of half-baked men,
talities and insist the topping over of all GOV
ernment.
The Socialists took bad slump in the last cleo
ton. If the Assembly leaders are not careful they
may get new lease Of life from the incident of

Official figures show that in Manhattan during

against about 5000 during 1918 The assessed
value of the properties conveyed last year was
more than s67O,0OO,Oo0 an increase of almost
$500, 100000 compared with 1918. Mortgage money
also was more plentiful. More than sI7O oOOO
was loaned, as against about $50 900 900 during the
preceding year, while the calling of loans was
only spasmodc. In fact, the total for mortgac ce
extension exceeded the previous total by almost
s20O00oo0.
The Bronx likewise showed an increase of moro
than 100 per cent in sales while more tbnn three
times the number Of mortgages were recorded
Approximately the same conditions prevailed I'm
