GREAT PIECE OF LEGISLATION Williamsburg's Senator on the State Warehouse System. p To the Editor of the News and Courier: The extra session of the general assembly passed the law known as the state warehouse act. There are many men in South Carolina who look upon that extra session as a huge joke. There are many men also ' in South Carolina who do precious little thinking of their own accord, and who are usually led into action through some device, plan or cunning of others practiced in the art of serving indirectly. Honest minds are often innocently led away from paths of truth and loyalty and purpose by reason of ingenious argument which unconsciously influences and acts as an intellectual opiate. My short experience in public life has convinced me that a people is without representation that sends to the general assembly a legislator who has not the power of discernment,. who cannot analyze the orator's rhetoric and separate therefrom outside influences?if there be 1^. any?or who indifferently neglects to study conditions and to deduct therefrom cause, effect and a remedy, or who permits political whims to bias and prejudice and stultify what ought to be his honest service. The only remaining souvenir of the extra session is the state warehouse act, but this relic in time will im>mortalize the history of the extra session. There are many men in South Carolina who will laugh at this suggestion, but there are a few who will believe it. Those who do not are the men, who for one cause or another, have wilfully neglected or purposely refused to study the merits of the system and have absolutely no insight into its great possibilities. This law is a "love child" of fate?a result of opportunity and circumstance. None other than the extra session could have produced it, and nothing save "moral obligation" has preserved its young life even thus far. The author of the law, or its father, has spent restless nights, has dreamI ed dreams, seen visions, experienced remorse, defied critics?all this for the sake of the success which to his mind, is assured, and for the sake of the friends of the law who regard it as the greatest friend of the people of South Carolina and of all the south. Columbus believed in a shorter route and had faith to find it, but prejudiced and jealous politicians and men of influence, schemed for other purposes, deferred the great achievement. The next general assembly (Judging from the inclination of the past) may strip the warehouse act of its present authority or may circumscribe it with less limited power, or may repeal it outright. But birth to this great idea has been given and to it life again would be borne. If South Carolina should fail to support this system some other sovereign state would reap where we have sown, would achieve attainment unparalleled in time or history or finance. The law is far more practical throughout the south and would be of far greater benefit and profit to our people than any possible system of rural credit that might be devised by mankind under existing circumstances and conditions. The great Federal reserve act, admitted in banking circles to be the greatest piece of legislation since Jefferson's time, embodies the underlying principles upon which the warehouse act is built, and as one comprehends it, its possibilities unfold in endless and immeasurable values. It is the one thing which the state has done for its agricultural people and which is the beginning of a great marketing system which will insure stable, uniform and profitable prices for the king of commercial products which is the balance of European gold that enters the American finance, the one thing which will produce conditions enabling the south to fix the price of her choicest product, and not England, as now; the one thing which will enable Southern bankers to secure foreign credits as easily as they now secure northern credits, which will cut out the present four or five profits rake-off of cotton between the ?*? fc~?? >Tnnrf nnlnt! the Bill 1IVUJ1C OUIU M1V V?|rw.? r I one thing: which will establish for thel southern states, in time, its great re-1 serve system as strong: and as independent and as defiant as Gibraltar; which would do away with the undesirable necessity of rural credits, based upon the questionable value of land, mortgages, and which would produce other innumerable advantages. The details of the great system, now in its infancy, should be agitated in every section of the state that the people may learn of the benefits which are to be derived therefrom. The things which heretofore have hindered the development and the progress of this new but greatest departure of our state's government, should be hushed, and Senator McLaurin should be invited to every county seat in the state to discuss and explain to farmers and business men the great things of importance to them embodied in the provisions of his commission. The people, when ^ they understand, will subscribe their ^ undivided support to the warehouse act. E. C. Epps. Kingstree, S. C., March 27, 1915. SOUTH CAROLINA NEWS ? T. O.

Charlotte Observer, April 8: The biggest construction contract of the year was given yesterday by the Southern Power company of this city, to the Hardaway Construction company of Columbus, Ga? for the erection of a mammoth power plant at Fishing Creek, three miles above Great Falls, S. C., at the point where the Catawba begins its last precipitate drop through the range of hills that separates the Piedmont country from the lowlands. The plant will generate 30,000 of electrical horsepower from a head of 50 feet. At Great Falls just below, is the 32,000 horsepower plant and at Rocky Creek, which is hardly more than a mile from Great Falls, is another 32,000 horsepower station, making:, with this Fishing Creek development. approximately 100,000 of electrical housepower generated at this one point. The machinery equipment of the powerhouse will consist of five 8.000 horsepower units. The Hardaway Construction company will begin work immediately and the job will be finished by September 1, 1916. There is no reason | why there should be any delay at all P in starting for the railroad built by the Southern Power company when it developed Great Falls and Rocky Creek passes within a few hundred yards of the site. The Hardaway Construction company is now about half through with the Lookout Shoals development between Catawba and Iredell counties in this state and will finish the job this fall. In the meantime the activity at Fishing Creek will be prosecuted and this plant will be put on in the fall of next year. ENGLAND FEELS PINCH. Letters and Papers Show Growing Food Scarcity. From present indications it looks as though food strength rather than fighting strength would be the test of England's endurance in the present' war. Letters and papers from England show that the pressure is beginning to | be felt, although not so strongly as it is expected it will be later, says the Washington Star. There is nothing approaching an exodus from "town"? that is to say, London, for London is always town to the Englishman; at the same time there is marked falling off in general activity, and the "to let" list of "house agents" is larger than is usual at this season in the year. For instance, down in the Westminster region, furnished flats which previously commanded $25 a month, are now quoted at $23. The same is true all over town, and houses in the suburbs which formerly rented for 80 pounds a year, exclusive of "rates and taxes," can now be had for 75 pounds. In the country rents have fallen off even more, and many of the estates that formerly had failed to make any money off their game have turned to the market as a source of income. The immense Salisbury estate at Hatfield, which has long been one of the show places in England, and which has kept its herd of deer chiefly for ornament, has now imported an agent, who is making a specialty of breeding them for venison and supplying as many as can be spared for the London market. To mention some of the specific instances, the Earl of Portsmouth in Sussex, who always has been a purveyor of all sorts of farm products, has gone in more than ever for chick-, ens and venison. On the neighboring estate of Melville Portal, where there are no deer kept, but where there is a famous trout stream, the fish are being more carefully preserved than ever and sent regularly to the market. The same probably is true all over England, because the Smithfleld market in London is more stocked with venison and game than ever before, and ail country estates where there are game birds, fish and venison are turning their attention C1-.H mnra tr? hrp*pdinir for the markets. London at night is still as dark as it was in the earlier days of the war. Street lumps and electric signs being largely Interdicted on account of mak ing too attractive a mark for overhead raiders. All the Thames embankment lights have been forbidden by police order, and the immense electric roof light of the Olympia have also been put out. The incoming supply of foodstuffs from abroad has been interfered with considerably by the activity of the German submarines. At the same time Norway and Sweden are taking a chance of supplying butter and dairy products to England as heretofore, and there are comparatively few reports of these shipments having met with disaster. The shipments of meat from South America continue, but are more expensive on account of the increase in freight rates. Foodstuffs from Argentina, which formerly were laid down in London for $7 a ton freight, are now quoted at >12. Germany Will Pay for the Wm. P. Fry#.?Germany's intention to compensate the owners of the American ship William P. Frye, sunk on the high seas with her cargo of wheat by the commerce raider Prinz Eitel Friedrich, was communicated formally to the United States government yesterday. Ambassador Gerard cabled a note handed him by the Berlin foreign office in reply to the recent American communication submitting an indemnity claim of >228,059.54 on behalf of the Frye's owners. The foreign office upholds the legality upder international law of the raider's action in sinking the Frye and bases the liability of the German government to pay indemnity solely on the old Prussian-American treaties of 1799 and 1828, which provide that contraband belonging to the subjects or citizens of either party cannot be confiscated by the other and may be detained or used only in consideration of payment of the full value. In view of this situation,, the note says, the American owners must be compensated for their loss. It is pointed out, however, that the case must go to a prize court that questions of ownership cargo and destination may be e ' dished formally. The Germai ition is that the Frye's cargo i /heat was contraband because ?. was consigned "for orders" to Queenstown, which is declared to be a fortified port of Great Britain. No notice is taken of the fact that, since the wheat was sold en route to British citizens, the United States filed a claim for the vessel only. Officials here were somewhat surprised at the nature of the German note, because of the bearing it may have on negotiations between Washington and London over the allies' blockade of Germany and Austria. The United States has insisted that upon the belligerent seizing a cargo consigned "to order" rested the burden of proof that the goods were destined for armed forces of an enemy. The German note was dated April 4, one day after Ambassador Gerard presented the request for indemnity. ? Secretary Bryan on Wednesday night, made public a letter he had written to L. W. Kennington, Democratic national committeeman from Iowa, expressing the hope that Iowa Democrats would take a stand for prohibition and vote against officials who could be controlled by the liquor interests. In a statement given out with the letter, Mr. Bryan said he hoped to see the Democratic party take the prohibition side wherever the nnopflnn wqq raiopH anr) that if thP liquor interest insisted on making an issue in the selection of a national committeeman, the people opposed to the liquor traffic could not afford to ignore it. "I do not know to what extent the liquor question will be an issue in the campaign next year," Mr. Bryan added. "At the present time it does not seem probable that it will find a place in the platform of either the Democratic or the Republican party, but there is no reason why the national committeeman should not represent the sentiment of the party on this subject as on other subjects." Mr. Kennington had written Mr. Bryan that his name was being used in behalf of a candidate for the national committee. ? Prospects of the contemplated wheat crop planted last fall in greatest acreage in the country's history are that 619.000,000 bushels would be produced. This estimate was issued by the agricultural department Wednesday based on crop conditions on April 1. The crop reporting board issued this statement: "The par. or 100 per cent normal condition, of wheat on April 1 may be regarded as approximately to 16.9 bushels per acre planted: hence a condition of 88.8 per cent would indicate 16.0 bushels, which, on the 41,263,000 acres planted. would give a total production of 619.000.000. as compared with a final estimate of 684,990,000 last year. 523,661.000 two vears ago, 399,919,000 three years ago, and 430,656,000 four years ago. In forecasting this quantity of 619.000,000 bushels, it should be considered as the amount of which the probability is about equal that the out turn will be above or below it: according to the changes in condition from now to harvest. 9he (Cotton tflarhet.

Come to See us for Your ..TheTHOMSOl "Best Fire Medicine" ' J About a year ago, I accepted the 1 agency of the Pyrene Fire Extln- . guisher for York county, and announced the fact in an advertisement In The i Enquirer, and explained what the ex- I tlngulsher would do, and also announced that the Insurance rate on all au- j tomobiles carrying Pyrenee would be J reduced 15 per cent, but to my surprise, sold comparatively few, and quite naturally, I think, came to the J conclusion that owners of burnable property either doubted the claims made for the Pyrene as a lire extinguisher or attached no importance to being in position to extinguish incipent fires. I sold two Pyrenee to the Clover Cotton Manufacturing Co, They were installed in the picker 1 room. Following unsolicited letter 1 was received March 20, from Mr. M. 1 L. Smith, treasurer and general man- ' ager of the company: Clover, S. C., March 20, 1916. Mr. Sam M. Grist, YorkvHle, S. C. Dear Sir: Please send us six cans Pyrene. This is the best medicine for | a Are we have ever used. We often have flres In our picker room, and have never used hose since we put in . Pyrenes. Yours respectfully, M. L. Smith. Treas. | You may see the day when you would gladly pay 1100 for the use of a Pyrene Extinguisher for three min utes, and won't be able to get it. Like Insurance, it cannot be bought if you wait until you need it. Those who 1 buy In anticipation of the need, get them for 17.00. 8AM M. GRIST, Agent.

COMMON SENSE EXTERMINATOR RATS and MICE are not only very destructive pests, but they are also very filthy and dangerous animals. Scientific research has shown that the flees to be found on rats and mice Etre carriers of various kinds of disease and when you get rid of the rat you get rid of the flea and when you get rid of the flea you reduce the chances of disease spreading. It is therefore good sense and good business to destroy the filthy rodents. The easy way ?the sensible way?the quick way? the SURE way?is to feed them on COMMON SENSE RAT EXTERMINATOR. It is a paste?spread it on bread, sprinkle with flour and a little sugarput In where the rodents run?take It up?what's left, next morning?the varmints will disappear and leave no bad odors in walls or ceilings?the chemicals in the Exterminator eats 'em up?25 Cts. a Bex at this Drug Store.
