RF.WARE OF SWINDLERS Many Fake Agents Are Soliciting Funds For Charities. By the provision of Act. No. 155 Acts of 1920, every charitable asso ciation or institution operating ii this state has to be licensed annuall; by State Board of Public Welfare unless such association or mstitutioi continues its operations and its so liciting of funds to the county ii I which it has its main office. Persons who solicit funds for an; institution or association not licen sed are liable to fine or imprison ; ment or both.

I The public will greatly assist th< State Board of Public Welfare am also protect the community if the: will keep an eye out for these solicit ors that are going about among ou people against the clear provision of the law.

NO MATERIAL CHANGE Danville, 111., Aug. 21.?Comment ing upon the ratification of the suf frage amendment and the local rusl of women voters to b$ registered foi the September primary, Formei Speaker Joseph G.

The women of Illinois voted as intelligently as did their husbands, brothers or fathers. The most significant thing about that election was that the Socialists did not make a considerable gain from the woman vote." U. S.

CL nxcepi on * e Us Provid handise at ^ i JDER fi!: aLj?j7inLnLnmLninim BONDS FOR WAREHOUSES f; Original Suggestion of John L* McLaurin Now Being Urged. ? Former Congressman Lever oi - South Carolina, says a Washington 1 dispatch, has just been notified that J the drafting committee of the Amer? ican Cotton association at Atlanta,, * of which Mr. Lever is a member, has - formally adopted his suggestior * made in the warehouse campaign lr South Carolina a few weeks ago to f the effect that the cotton states them selves should aid on a 50-50 basis the - various communities in the ereccior s of warehouses. !> Mr. Lever's plan contemplates the J J issuance of state bonds in an amount j sufficient to provide one-half of the expense of the erection or a suffici5, ent number of warehouses to take 11 care of at least 35 per cent, of the r, cotton crop of the state. This would j mean perhaps at the outside figure *, $2,000,000. The proceeds from the > sale of these bonds would be used to v match similar amounts put up by the \ committee, where it was found from l a survey that warehouses should be J built. One-half of the profits of the ware' house system under the plan would I go into the treasury of the state as a J r'nking fund with which to meet the . interest on the outstanding bonds I and in time return them at tlieir ma tuurity period. The other half of the v profits would go to the local stocki Viniriorc in t.he communities. I * ' The plan fruther contemplates that 'j after stock of the warehouses, the I theoretical stock of the state, therein ! should become the property of the ! then existing stockholders. This latj ter suggestion is made with the I thought of inducing the people of the ! communities to invest their money in warehouse enterprises, since there will be almost a certain guarantee to j such investors that the stock for ! which they paid par would ultimately double in value. Mr. Lever urges with great earnestj ness that the first great step In the j direction of the building up of a senI sible system of cotton distribution is warehousing, and he emphasizes that since cotton is the vital crop of the South.it concerns every class and enterprise of the South, ancr, therefore, all classes and proressions should desire an opportunity to bear' j a part of the burden of providing the i machinery through which the producer's of cotton shall get the real value thereof. r FIGURES GO HIGHER j Due to the misplacing of one or j two sheets of precincts when the toj tal enrollment was added up for i South Carolina, H. N. Edmunds, secI rotary of the state Democratic execuj tive committee, announced that the | enrollment for 1920 had reached 152,035 insteid of 148,002 as pre>, viously reported. i. The increase of 4,033 over the j former figures brings the total for i| the present enrollment to 3,776 above the figures of 1918 when the total Removal S ; Will Mov oes To Gree U Yn?
