A RATHER XARROW VIEW. John L. McLaurin and Cole. L. j Blease were the principal speakers at the "Farmers Secret Association" of j Kershaw county a few days ago. Al- j tksvivorVi it wac whisnered about that a I rCAAV/U^U. JL C " farmers' organization of a "secret*' i nature was being formed, not much j publicity was given to the fact. It was declared at the time that the association was non-political. When McLaurin and Blease made addresses at one of the meetings of the association it strikes us that they let the cat out of the bag.?Greenville News. 1 That is rather a narrow view, it seems to us. Why could not McLaurin and Blease make speeches without there being politics in the organiza tion of the famers. Besides, if there is politics, why not? If Sam iW'olfe of Anderson will introduce a bill in the next general assembly, along with his seven or eight hundred others, prohobiting any houswife in this state from making turkey j has'n we promise to go to Anderson j and vote for him next summer?York News. | ?? ***'rAn r>rwma from and ! Oil J1 , ?UC?C VA JVU. ^ ^ what are you talking about? Don't j you know that the hash that these goochwomen make is the best part of! the turkey? We've got enough prohi-j r bition already without even suggesting to any one to prohibit turkey hash. But we would not be at all surprised to find some introducer of bills under+/ *. hv -statute what we IV A V^W&Vfevv ? i shall eat and wherewithal we shall be I clothed. An-d it might be a pretty good thing because some of the otherwise prohibition folk are trie most intemf perate of eaters. A Newberry banker announces that lie is going to lend money to all his bank's customer at 7 per cent. The trouble about that sort of thing is that it is not contagious.?Anderson Intelligencer. (What d'yer mean by that? This i -bank has just seen the light in the p distance and is getting ready for it. The light is the legal rate fixed in this state at 6 per cent. It is coming pretty soon. J *^ >MAnOiirn Jtfy tD.0 Way, wouutr II mat iixcaoui j is included in the six or seven hun. dred bills that Mr. Wolfe of Anderson ^ is preparing to inflict upon the approaching session of the legislature. It would be a good one for him to include. Interest charges are too high in this state, and they are sure to be J ' ^reduced by the legislature some time K" In the near future. Then that 10 per cent attorney'* fee j in all notes should be cut out or modi- ( tied. The trouble has been that the! i lender has had the borrower entirely ; at his mercy for many years, but the i ; time is soon coming when it will be j the other way?or rather that will be ! the rule, for there always will be those who will want to borrow, and borrow j at any old price. Even this fall the i banks in this good town of Newberry have been advertising that they had money to lend, when last fall you had I to beg them to let you nave it on the very best of collateral. We hope the time will soon come! I when the business of the country will! be conducted on a cash basis. Credit i has been the ruin of many people. -SKS THE IDEAL IS ALL RIGHT. But a few days yet remain before ' the South Carolina general assembly j con\enes and we want to say again ! that the members of South Carolina's | law-making body will do well if they [ devote more attention to plans for en-; i forcing the laws we already have, rather than to the making of new ones. We advanced this same, idea some, ' weeks asro and were ridiculed for it; i i I from certain sources, but we still be-1 j lieve it to be the right thing. Half th*j 1 11? ^ "U J 11 1-v n t'a cnnn f r\ V\ < i j outlines UJ. UiJlb n c na>c occu iv . introduced in ine next session appear i to us as nonsensical and unnecessary, and every indication is that we will see a repetition of what has gone on i for years before.?York News. Your idea is all right, and yet you! j will find in each legislature from S00 ; to 3,200 bills presented, many of which, j of course, are never passed, and some-; times they are not pressed by the au thors. But you are correct that it would be more profitable to have some of the laws enforced rather than to' pass more laws. And, in fact, we be- j I lieve that if some of the laws now on j the books were enforced there would soon be a howl to have some of them repealed. If this legislature should create many more departments of govern ment and increase expenses as j it did at the last session, the taxes will be so high that it will be unprofitable to own any property, and the state will have to take it over and let all of us work for the gov ernment. But there will be others in the legislature besides /Mr. Wolfe of Anderson to present new bills, and the calendars will be crowded, and some foolish laws will be the result. It always has been thus and will likely continue to the end. So, we just as well console our souls in patience and take wiiat we get, an^square the accounts next summer when the people will have their inning at the bat. Congressman Lever has named exSheriff Wm. Coleman for the postmastership at Columbia, and as Mr. Lever says, Mr. Coleman is a mighty fine fellow, and no better selection could have been made. We congratulate Mr. Lever as well as >Ir. Coleman. THE STATE WAREHOUSE. We can understand now from the correspondence between Mr. Cathcart and iMr. McLaurin in the Columbia Record why the insurance trust is fighting the state warehouse system, but we can not understand why this fight should not make the system so much the stronger with the people. A reduction in insurance from "$2.50, short term cancellation, to $1.50 pro rata," should make the system very ooDular with the people. And then it j is stated that the country rate was S3.50 and now ic is $1.58 pro rata. And besides, it h not questioned that it is (juc to*the warehouse system that the farmer, even the one-bale farmer, has been able to borrow money on his cottc 11 warehouse receipt at a rate of 6 per cent. It stems to us that every farmer in Sout'n Carolina ought to enter a most (Vigorous protest against any effort that would be made to cripple tiiic rionarfmont nf thp eovernment. Lll*0 uu|;ui ... v. ^ ? *Arnen before liave the farmers "been able to get money on their cotton warehouse receipts so easy at so low a rate of interest? We do hot recall the time. Why should any one oppose any movement that had proved such a benefit to the cotton producer? In the fall of 1914 the banks wouldn't j look at a coiion warenouse receipt even at any old rate of int/rest. This past fall they "were advertising to lend all tne money ;on wanted -at 6 per cent on the ieoe;;>t. Some fellow will I i b r?ady ?o say it wasn't the warehouse system, it was the federal reserve ! bank.. Weil, the reserve bank was here in 1914. Tlu n it must be remem- j bered that a member of the federal re- 1 serve bank commended the warehouse I jsyst m. and it should also be remem-1 I bered that never before did the farmer! j ! j get money so cheap and on suc-h a fair. I valuation of his cotton. We do not: J believe that the legislature will dare: 'abolish the system or even attempt to j cripple it. but on the other hand will trv to strengthen it. i We will be frank to say that the sysI did not appeal to us at first, and we were not in favor of it, but when we : * ? - ^ J Kaoti wo mnct 1 S06 tI10 Oeiieilt li. lias uccu ?? v, I admit that in our opinion it has saved i i the situation in this state so far as; the handling of the cotton crop is con- j cerned for the benefit of the producer. I (Then why try to kill it or join forces with those whose interests are against' the producer. We shall be surprised j if there is not a great protest from the j farmers of the state if there is any ; effort to cripple the institution made at , the approaching session of the legis-' lature. There are some recent measures; ^ I passed by this legislature that it would , be well for the numbers to kill, and: the people would be benefited. | We notice from reading one of our : exchanges in the Third district that : I Congressman Aiken has written a letter in which he uses some very ugly words. A congressman should set a ? Avomnio than to descend to the UflLCI CAaiujjiv. use of epithets that are not compli-1 I mentary. In other words, no matter j what the other fellow does, a man who, I represents so great a district as this j should be more c'noice in the use of the language by which he expresses himself, and especially in the news-; papers. In fact, we have come to the j conclusion that it is not right for any} editor to permit the columns of his; paper to be used as a sewer for any one, and if a fellow feels like he wants j to call some one else names let him go j to that some one and tell him what he j / wants to say. We wish to commend the suggestion j of our local contemporary t'nat the board of trade or the chamber of commerce be revived. We know of nothing Gaffney needs more than a little united effort on the part of her citizens. If we will but pull together as we should for the next few years we will be able to accomplish something to- J ward building a city.?Gaffney Ledger. Which reminds us to say that Xew* J 1 r\f trade. berry has naa uei uvai va w-. , , chamber of commerce and business league, but all have passed into history, and now in the beginning of this good year 1916 it would be a good thing for the business of the community and the progress and development and growth of the city to have some sort of business organization among the business men. Why not organize for the good of'the community? It would be a good thing. j Township Convention.

Building War Vessels. One of the most difficult problems in j building a battleship is to secure satis* factory ventilation. She is a very com- I plicated creature, made up of so many J steel boxes, large and small, for the J accommodation of officers, men, coal, ! ammunition and stores, dotted here and there with so many steel ladders, nntnmntif lifts, steel bulkheads and water tight doors, varied here and there ! by miles of electric wires belonging to j iights. telephones, bells and motors, to ! say nothing of the endless mileage of ' pipes for flooding, draining, pumping, j fresh water, fresh air or compressed air and speaking tubes. First in importance comes the ventilating of the boiler and engine rooms. When you begin to think of gangs of coal black demons working away in the bowels of the ship at a temperature of 120 degrees; when, too, you commence to realize that unless the furnaces receive their required draft flip snood of the battleshiD droDS to be ~ ~L ~ " " ] low that of her ?isters in the squad- | ron, you appreciate the importance of } the steam driven fans to the furnaces j and boiler rooms. The supply of air comes down through large water tight, trunks, which are continued right up to \ the weather deck, armored gratings! being provided at the protective deck. For ventilating engine rooms large electric fans are employed. So, too, the coal bunkers have to be ventilated, owing to the gas which the coal gives off. This gas when mixed with air forms an explosive, so in oruer 10 pre-1 vent the possibility of injury to men \ or ship supply and exhaust pipes are fitted in such a manner as to cause a current of air.?Pearson's Weekly.
