TWU
PLANS FOR COMMUNITY
WAREHOUSES FOR STATE
Columbia, June 23.?Fully alive to
protection State Warehouses afford
against loss on their cotton by weather
damage or by fire, a number of
farmers are planning to build plantation
or community warehouses which
*-* ' * H -?rr.4- r,w?
Will be taicen in tne aian; system.
W. G. Smith, State Warehouse Commissioner,
who is anxious to see
enough warehouses built and put in
the State warehouse system to take
care af at least an additional 500,000
bales of cotton, said yesterday
that he would send from his office
in Columbia the necessary plans and
specifications free of charge td farmers
who would build warehouses
this summer to be units in the State
System.
According to one estimate, "country
damage,'" alone cost the farmers
of South Carolina $14,175,000 on the
1918 crop of cotton. For this sum,
the State's entire 1918 crop could i
have ben housed for over 15 months 1
in the State warehouse system had :
warehouses been available.
Commissioner Smith said yester- -1
day that there was no "red tape" i
about getting a paoperly built ware-j
bouse into the State system.
"First, build the warehouse," said
Commissioner Smith "Then apply
for its admission into the State system.
Then the State Warehouse
Commissioner will lease the ware- j1
house for $1.00 a year and issue toi*
the owner or owners a license to op- 1
erate it as a unit in the State system.1
on payment of a fee of $2.00. Next *
the law authorizes the Commissioner, J
to name a suitable person as ware-jJ
houseman and to bond him for from 1
$1,000 to $5,000, according to theh
size of the warehouse. As soon as1;
the warehouse is ready for business'*
the Commissioner keeps its contents.e
fully covered by insurance against c
fire. The warehouseman issues re- ] *
ceipts for each bale of cotton stored, j c

A cotton warehouse with a capa<
ity of 200 to 500 bales can be bui
at a cost of a little over a dollar
bale and a 1,000 bale warehouse ca
be built for less than a dollar a bal
if farmers will adopt Commissiom
Smith's suggestion and use the
field hands on the construction du:
ing wet spells.
The fire underwriters have lai
rfnwn the following directions f<
warehouse building which must I
followed:
For a warehouse to hold 500 bale
the buildnig must be 100 feet Ion
by 45 feet wide by 11 feet high ?

signB must be displayed and a bam

l" TURNS TO POLITICS

^ Washington, D. C., June 21.?De1-1
h?te on thi* lpatnip of nations aViiftpH
a to political ground again today in the
' Senate with a resulting flurry of party
feling which ended in an admonid
tion by the chair that Senate rules
e must be observed. * .
n The flare up started when Senator
r Williams, of Mississippi, a Democratic
member of the foreign relations
committee, charged that the representations
had "stacked the commitj
tee against the league. Senator Moses,
of New Hampshire, a Republican
member made a spirited denial and
e Senator McCormack representative,
1 of Illinois, declared the Paris peace
e mission had been "stacked" with the
- Democrats."
s Called to Order.
3 Other Senators quickly got into
1 the discussion and Senators were
* asking recognition when Vice Presi1
dent Marshall called a halt, ruling
? that the discussion which had inter3
rupted a speech by Senator Thomas,
t Democrat of Colorado, was out of orJ
der.

the peace treaty without the league
of nations, covenant in-corporated.
Senator William's charge followed
one by Senator Thomas that the Republicans
had first put the league into
politics by the celebrated round
robin of the last session and now
were condemning Democratic support
of the league as partisan.
No Definite Stand.
Mr. Thomas is one of the Democratic
Senators who have no definite
stand regarding the league, but
in his speech today he read many
extracts from historical works to
show that in the past beneficial proposals
often had the same arguments
as now confront the league covenant.
The Knox resolution opposed as
improper, in that it would overstep
the power of the Senate in the treaty
making and would be interpreted as
a presumptive effort to dictate to the
peace conference.
Answering the plea that the people
should have more time to consider
the league proposed he asserted
there already had been wide discussion
of the subject for several
years.
BOARD TRAINS MEN
NEAR OWN HOMES
i
wasnmgxon, u. u.,?rne reaerai*
Board of Vocational Education .is
training men in'four lines of work?
agriculture, industry, commerce and
the professions. The belief of the
Board is that disabled men should go
back to their own states for their
training, if possible.
The Board is using private commercial
colleges for the commercial
education of disabled men, because
they are accustomed to dealing with
individual students with different degrees
of education who enter the
course at irregular intervals. Land
grant colleges are being used for
agricultural training and whenever
practical for engineering courses as
well. Industrial trade schools and
shops and plants of all kinds in many

is to keep the men contented during

that whatever ' size ' congress
fixed would remain in effect only
until a permanent military policy
had been established.

adopted the item of i $230,000,000 for
army transportation, a decrease of
$5,000,000 for the house appropriation.
