Columbia, S. C., Sept. 25.?Gover>01' Manning and Warehouse Commissioner McLaurin held a lengthy onference in the Governor's office a few days ago, discussing the advanages of the State Warehouse system nd the legislation necessary to perfect the law governing it. No statement was given out after the conference, but it was learned that both Governor Manning and Commissioner McLaurin are agreed that certain delects in the law should be remedied nd that there was a practically complete agreement between the Goverior and the Warehouse Commissioner is to what is best to be done in perfecting this law that means ?o much ;o the cotton producing interests of South Carolina. It is likely that Governor Manning and Commissioner McLaurin will hold frequent confer onces on this matter before the Legislature meets in January and the esults of these conferences will probably be embraced in a message from the Governor to the Legislature during the early part of next session. The following editorial' from the Yorkville Enquirer of Sept. 21st refers to this subject: ' "As a result of a conference between Governor Manning and Warehouse Commissioner ^John L. McLaurin, it develops that Governor Manning is not secretly hostile to the State warehuose system, as was legitimately deduced from published remarks recently attributed to him. It is quite clear that if there should be ( a regulation providing that managers ( ol State warehouses should be absolutely disinterested parties, neither owners of the warehouses nor of the cotton stored therein, there could . .... - i easily develop a situation v?ry dif- , I ierent from that under which all pre- J' ! sent progress has been made. But . j from the reports of the conference . , referred to it appears that th? gover-!, ! ror is most sincerely solicitous of de- j ! veloping the warehouse system ', ' :i?ong lines that will work to the in-! J terest of the producer of the cotton ] i first, and the public generally, se! cond. The conference referred to, | ! we understand, developed thnt there i ! was practically complete agreement ? i between Mr. McLaurin and Mr. Man- ? ! ning as to what shall be done and the < Icutlook is that such recommenda- j! 1 tions as the governor shall see pro' per to make to the general assembly ] ' with regard to improving and' < I strengthening the warehouse system, j . will be made only after complete < J agreement between the governor and i j the warehouse commissioner." * j TEACHERS EXAMINATION.

Carranza by the American nations would bring on anarchy in Mexico, brought sharply to the attention of official Washington the fifrht the Villa element is expected to make on >ny American pacification plan that "oes not include the northern chief'ain's supporters as possible factors. Garza, who was at one time president of the convention, is here to forM'O fVio <\r\ v?l n v? i >? cuu iliv vviiv cimvii JJICIII which the Villa and Zapata elements have accepted at the invitation of the Pan-American conferees. Recognition of Carranza, Garza decares, would result in a situation that would be terrible in its consequences, and he urges that the convention be held to establish a provisional government regardless of Car anza's refusal to participate. He says that Carranza, next to Heurta. is the most hated man in Mexico and Predicts that, if recognized, he would t-rove his incapacity in a month. Garza describes the military situa'ion as a deadlock between the opposing factions and denies Carranza's ^laim to control the greater part of Mexican territory. ' Carranza's delay ir removing to Mexico City, Garza asserts, is due to fear that su<"h a step would be followed by occupation of Vera Cruz by his enemies.
