We will buy a pound of Cotton for
every pound of Tobacco we sell
We realize, with all the residents of the South,
the present financial stringency due to the cotton
situation. We realize that the South must sell its
cotton, and we will help in the most practical way
we know—by buying cotton.
For every pound purchased of all of these famous, popular brands of
tobacco and cigarettes (counting 1,000 cigarettes equal to five pounds
of tobacco) we will buy from our dealers a pound of cotton at 10c, in
accordance with our circular to dealers dated Sept. 28.
We have faith in cotton. We know that when the war clouds
roll away, the demand of the manufacturers for cotton throughout the
world will be greater than ever before, and the South will enjoy unpre
cedented prosperity.

MEETS TUESDAY
To Consider Legislation Look
ing to Relief in Cotton Situa
tion. First Extraordinary
Session in Thirty Two Years.
Columbia, S. C. —The South Caro
lina general assembly has been called
by Gov. Cole D. Blease to meet here
Tuesday, for the purpose of enacting
legislation looking to the relief of the
cototn situation brought on by the
European war, to transact “such other
business as they may deem wise.”
A special committee, appointed by
the South Carolina division of the
Southern Cotton Congress, will recom
mend a program of legislation. Among
the plans, which it is said, will be laid
before the state legislature will be the
establishment of a state warehouse
system, postponement of the collec
tion of taxes, and enactment of a law
forbidding the cultivation of cotton on
more than a prescribed acreage, or
the enacting of a graduated occupa
tion tax, designed to curtail produc
tion.
Several of securing reduc
tion are advanced, hut the one most
discussed is that of limiting the num
ber of bales allowed to each work
animal or plow*. The numbers sug
gested range from five to eight bales
per animal.
The session to assemble Tuesday
will be the first extraordinary session
of the South Carolina general assem
bly In thirty-two years and will be
the eighteenth extra session since
South Carolina has been a state.

THE CZAR AND THE JEWS.
To The Herald.
I have taken the clipping below from
the St. Louis Republic and am send
ing It to you believing that it will be
of great interest Just at this time:
A few days ago the czar of Russia
appealed to his "dearly beloved Jews"
to bear arms, telling them that he
adored them, revered them, simply
couldn't sleep nights for thinking
about their happiness, and If shot up
and killed for him he would be so
much obliged that he would guarantee
them religious freedom and equal
rights. Of course, the world smiled.
Now comes an Austrian proclama
tion to the Jews In Poland, offering
'•Justice, freedom and equal rights as
citizens" to all who will Join the In
vading armies of Germany and Aus
tria-Hungary. “Beware of the czar;
he 1s spoofing!" the proclamation says
In effect, and adds: "Remember what
he handed you at Klshlner, Gomel.
Blalystok and Sedlee."
Isn't all this crude? The Virginia
back-country politician, who goes
around kissing the babies and prom
ising more Jobs, bridges, roads, tax
reductions and free schoola than there
are In all the rest of the world, must
smile with recognition when he reads
the respective promises of the two
great countries that so need the Jews.
Whether It'a bullets or rotes, the meth
od of getting them out seems to be
about the same.
The truth la. of course, that neither
Russia nor Austria has the slightest
Intention of wholly keeping any such
extravagant promise to the Jews.
When peace comes and the enlisting
Jew tries to collect, he’ll find him
self In the presence of Marble Heart.
