OTTON WAREHOUSE LAW
TO BE PERFECTED.
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

ANARCHY IN MEXICO 1
IF CARRANZA RECOGNIZED
Washington, Sept. 23.--Publica- 1
tion today of a warning by Roque :
Gonzales Garza that recognit'on of
Gen. 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.

)CTOBER 8 NAMED ",FIRE
PREVENTION DAY" FOR STATE ,
i
Columbia Record.
Gov. Manning today signe-1 a proc- (
i'mation designating Friday, Oct. S,
i? "Fire Prevention Day. It is estinated
that the fire loss in the United
?tates and Canada in 1914 was more
han $235,000,000, and in crder to
educe this enormous waste of re;ources
of our country, it >3 the cusom
of the governors of the various
;Lates in the Union to designate a day 1
r*Y +Vu* Hicf?n55inn nf this inmoratnt '
;ubject. The governor believes that f
the people of South Carolina will
neet together on this date and discuss
imong themselves the best methods
>t preventing fires, and at the same
ime have the teachers in the public
ehools impress upon the minds of the
children the danger of carelessness
in the handling of inflammables, it
will result in a great saving of life
wd property. It is expected that
(he city and county officials, as well
us the fire chiefs, will arrange public
meetings on this date for che purpose
of interesting the people in this
work.
The text of the proclamation follows
:
"Whereas, one of the common
forms of economic waste, as well as
loss of life, is through the destruction
cf property by fire; and the significant
thing about this is that so much
of it is so unnecessary and preventable;
and
"Whereas, our people should use
constant care, individually, officially
and collectively, to avoid and prevent
fire-breeding conditions, as well as to
be alert and efficient in controlling
i>nd extinguishing fires when started,
and in order to promote such general
watchfulness:
