PROGRESSIVE PROGRAM FOR
SOUTH CAROLINA OUTLINED

Columbia, July AT u meeting of
the board of directors of the South
Carolina Cotton Association last
Thursday, J. Skottowe Wannamaker,
ID. M. Crosson, 7. H. Tuten, G. L..
Toole and w. o. Tatum were appoint
ed a committee to prepare an address
to the. people of South Carolina on the
situation as it effects cotton today.
This committee has issued the follow
ing address.
To the People of South Carolina:
AL meeting of the board of di-
rectors OF the South Carolina Division
OF the American Cotton Association
on July 1, a request was read from
the great commercial paper Of Eng
land, the Manchester Guardian, that
detailed statement be sent covering
the production Of cotton in America
and the various matters bearing there
on, and the ability of America to
furnish sufficient increase of cotton to
I'LL the wants of the world war, it
being plainly stated that the world

ply OF American cotf on; and that
every legitimate line OF the cotton in
dustryI 8 intensely uneasy, following
five consecutive crops with the GER
tainty of short crop this year. The
statement issued by the census bureau
OF the agricultural department shows
during the present year there has been
an enormous decrease in the available
supply Of cotton, the demands for
raw cotton exceeding the supply to
a greater extent than at any time in
the last so years, plainly pointing
out the certainty Of a cotton famine.
we believe that the time is at
hand for the farmer to take stock and
find where he is as to his present
holdings of cotton and the crop that
is soon to be gathered. With five sue
CeS&.ve short crops and with the GER
taint;- Of another short crop in 1920
1t IS unthinkable to the average man
that manipulators and gamblers in
cotton can depress the price two and
three cents Il pound per week. but
such are the facts
The enormous increased cost in
PRODUCTION of cotton received serious
consideration of the board. it being
clearly shown that the present crop
Will be by far the most costly crop
produced and that cotton for future
delivery is being sold on the New
York exchange far below the cost OF
production. which will result in fore
ing higher prices when the mills de-
mand this cotton
Tho matter of agricultural labor is
a most serious concern to the entire
agricultural and commercial life OF
America. Two million negroes have
moved from the cotton producing sec
tions alone since 1914 Statistics
show the certainty hereafter of an

houses will be erected in each and
every county in the state sufficient.to
warehouse the cotton and other ag-
ricultural products produced there
In. Under these plans the state
warehouse commissioner reports
over 100 already in9 course of erec-
ton. That graders will be secured
for cotton markets in every county
and organizations formed to market
cotton and other agricultural crops
in time to open cooperative marketing
in all of the counties of the state
and the membership of the American
Cotton Association in this state will be
increased by 10000 members.
1t was shown that mutual fire in
surance companies were no longer ex-
periments but wonderfully beneficial,
safe and sound and it was decided to
take steps for the organization Of the
same in the various counties Of the
state. Special attention Of the |busi-
ness men was called to the advantage
Of organizing such companies. The or
ganization' Of a statewide mutual fire
insurance company is under consider
alton to obtain a low rate of insur-
ance.
Save Farmers Money.
Orangeburg county is a concrete
example of what is now being done
in many counties in South Carolina.
The American Cotton Association OF
Crangeburg county, along with the
Farmers union and Cotton Marketing
Association has established a market
at Orangeburg that has brought that
market from being the poorest In
lower Carolina to one of the best. It
brought more cotton to that market
the first seven months of its opera
ton than had been handled there for
the IL months previous and saved to
the farmers who patronized it from
SIS to $50 per bale at a cost of 80 cents
per bale. Already Aiken, Calhoun
and many other counties are ready
to follow Orangeburg's example with
the 1920 cotton crop.
I'VE earnestly call on every pres
ent member of the association to get
active and enlist the sympathy and
enroll as members every fellow far
mer. merchant, banker, business and
professional man and all the good
women interested in liberating our
fair land from the enslaving influ-
ences of those who would keep the
Southern farmer in industrial slavery"

BIG SCHOOL SCRAP
At BASEBALL PARK

November "a should be a red let

considerable backing and nliing the
authorities have decided to play the
annual Tech-central football BATHS
In American League Park.
1t il expected that a banner crowd
will be on hand on account OF the
fact that the teams are considered
well matched. Central and Tech
have both had In and out records
but when the big clash comes all
this will be forgotten in the mad
rush to watch proceedings.
When the schedule was made MP
last year Tech reserved the right to
name tho grounds. Central volun-
teered to play Tech in Potomac
Park on Techs own field. The fact
that six or seven thousand fans
would be there apparently made NO
difference to the Centralites.
It was finally left to a committee
Of three principals composed of Mr..
Charles Hart OF Eastern; Mr.. Allen
Davis, Of Business, and. DR.. Elmer

selected American League Park and

HEISMAN ISSUES DENIAL

Penn's Football Coach Say.
Whole Story Is incorrect.

PHILADELPHIA. Nov. 6.-John
Heisman. coach Of the Pennsylvania
football eleven, denies the story sent
out from this city Thursday that DR..
Charles M. Wharton, has. been re-
leased as line coach and superseded
by Gus Ziegler. -
There IL not q word OF truth in
these Stories" says Heisman. 1T is
true that Messrs. Ziegler and Piekar-
ski have been invited back to help
with the coaching at their alma mater.
but this Is merely in line with the
policy pursued every year of trying
to get more old men back to help
out with tho team as the Thanksgiv-
ing Day game draws near.
II may say here that there IL not
and never has been one particle Of
friction between DR.. Wharton and
myself. We are, and have been as
long as we have known each other,
the warmest Of friends. and there
has never been one inharmonious word
between NJ.
