J. S. WANXAMAKER v SUGGESTS CHANGES Columbia. Jan. 24.?The general assembly of South Carolina is urged in a statement issued last night by J. Skottowe Wannamaker, president of the American Cotton Association, to mjake certain amendments in the South Carolina Warehouse act. Mr. Wanamaker urges that a commission of seven, one from each congressional rvn or-of) fori cn-nnpratp with the warehouse commissioner and that the commissioner be given authority to license warehouses. "The South Carolina legislature," said Mr. Wannamaker. "by makingcertain amendments to the warehouse act can make an act that will furnish model warehouses for the entire cotton belt. "The present act has many admirable features. At the annual convention of the South Carolina division of the American Cotton Association, however, it was decided to urge the General Assembly to amend this act to permit the state warehouse commissioner to issue licenses for wareTiniisps , ( "The cotton industry is gradually being put upon an economic basis. A bale of cotton should have the grade stencilled upon it; we should have licensed graders, men whb have taken a thorough course in grading, stapling and fibering of cotton. The time is fast approaching when our colleges will put on courses on the business side of agricuture. Europe has been for years past spending vast sums in this way, the gerat universities turning out men thoroughly equipped for the business side Of life. As an example, j Oxford University, England, with A Prof. Todd at the head of a depart- j ment of economics, teaches its young j men in addition to a regular commer- j cial training, every phase of the cot- | ton industry.
