MR.. WANNAMAKER WRITES OF
DoINGS IN COLUMBIA
The Chesterfield Advertiser,
Chesterfield, s. C.
Dear MIR. Editor.

Chesterfield, s! C.
Dear Mr.. Editor:
! The second week of the Legislative
session has closed with news of no
great Importance to be reported. The
committees are getting to work on
their reports on>various bills referred
to them. The Ways and Means COM
mittee of the House is impressed with
the necessity of reporting out as
quickly as possible the annual appro-
priation bill, and is now meeting regu-
larly at nine-thirty to eleven in the
morning and also at night. The House
generally convenes at eleven IN the
morning and works until two or three
O'Clock in the afternoon, and next
week, or as soon as necessary, will ,.e-
gin night sessions. The Judiciary COM
mlttee meets every afternoon at four
o'clock.
The Senate and House have not vet
agreed on the tax extension proposi-
ton. The Senate has passed a bill
leaving the one. per cent. r .nalty on
for January, and extending the time
without further penalty until April
lst. The House has passed BILL after
very mixed up and complicated dis
cussion, leaving heavier penalty,
(said penalty supposing TO about take
care Of interest charges during the
time the state is without The money!,
but granting little further time be-
fore executions are issued. The matter
will be thrashed out this week when
the Senate bill comes before the
House.
Some of tbs bills, usual and unus-
ual to be taken up by the Legislature
are: To do away with Truant Officers
and let their duties be performed by
County Superintendent of Education
and Trustees of'schools; To punish by
Imprisonment only the violations of
the liquor law; To give the Trustees
of the University of S. C. the power
to decide on fraternities being allow
ed at our University; 20 practically
prohibit pool and billiard rooms; To
give the women the right to vote ss
provided by our Federal Consti;u utiop;
To make more drastic the punishment
for carrying concealed weapons; ard
to change the Constitution by abolish
ing the three mill levy for school pur-
poses ES
T An interesting bill before the Judi
ciary committee last week was one
10 give the sLaAssNord, fin addition to
his prior lien rent which does not have
to be in writing and recorded, a prior
lien for advances even if same is not
in writing nor recorded. The effect of
the bill would be that the merchant
could never do business with the ten
ant except when the Landlord permit
ted it, and would have enabled the
Landlord, (Being without competition)
to charge excessive prices for ed
vances.. This bill is very pernicious,
and would have almost resulted in the
slavery of the tenant, but same. was
reported unfavorably by the commit
tee and subsequently killed on the
floor of the House.
Yours very truly

ONE-THIRD ACREAGE IN
COTTON is THE PLEDGE


which each farmer is being asked ia
sign requires that he mot pl,nt in
cotton more than one-third of the
lands cultivated" by him during the
year 1920 and not that he cat his cot
ton acreage in half according to n
statement issued yesterday by the
South Carolina Division of the Ameri-
can Cotton Association. 1t has been
figured that if all of the farmers will
agree not to plant more than one
third of their cultivated lands in cot
ton the total acreage reduced will
be around SO per cent.
There are many farmers who have
not been planting over one-third of
their cultivated lands i'm cotton for
the past several years, says tire state
ment issued by the asso ,iator. The
pledge, of course, does not require
that they MAKE any further cut in
their cotton acreage unless they de
sire so to do. There are many farmers.
however, who nave been planting
nearly all of their lands in cotton and
the great majority of them have been
planting at least SO per cent. The
committee which considered the mat
ter very carefully found after study
OF the situation that if all farmers
would agree to plant only third of
their lands in cotton that tho reduc-
ton of acreage over the bel. would
aggregate SO per cent.
1--WE are delighted t. report that
the farmers of South Carolina are
signing the pledges unhesitatingly.
They realize the fact that another
large crop would mean finarc al dis
aster to the South and while it might
seem at first blush that to plant only
one-third of their lands in cotton
would entail a hardship Oh them, a
little study of the situation convinced
them that the hardship would not be as
great as to plant more cotton and be
able to get nothing for it me- t fall.
"The following figures which we
been prepared by the cotton acl age
reduction committee at Memphis,
Tenn. will, We believe convince every
one that a drastic acreage reduction
is an absolue necessity.
The ten-year average amount of
American cotton on hand unspun at
the beginning of each fiscal year is
100000 bales.
"At August 1, 1921, beginning
present fiscal year, according to Hes
ter the unspun American cotuoil on
hand was 6,086,00O bales.
"The probable amount of American
cotton on hand unspun on July Fl,
1921. as now indicated, will be more
than 100000 bales or 100000
larger than any amount ever carried
over before.
"The greatest consumption of all
kinds of cotton ever known in single
year was less than 100000 oales.
The greatest consumption Of Am
erican cotton ever known in a single
year was less than 100000 bales.
1.-The ten-year average consumption
of all kinds of cotton Including Am
erican, prior to the great war was
17,560,000 bales.
Consumption Of all kinds of cot
ton 1919-20, United States census
figures, was 1s, $4,000 bales.
An American crop of l3,000,0OO\
bales in 1921 would indicate world
supply of all kinds Of cotton ,includ-
ing American, of 29,000,0O0 bales.
1.-The world carry-over may reach
a total of, or may exceed 100000.
"The world during the presnt fiscal
year is not likely to consume more
than Is, 100000 bales"

failure to develop adequate revenues
the interest upon the city's share Of the
investment in the dual subways which.
