St. Matthews, May 5.?That Col. J. A. Ba ks has no idea of entering the i ace tor governor either as a warehouse champion or otherwise or ask for any other State office, but that he desires to remain in the senate was made plain in an interview with The State's correspondent this morning. Col. Banks is also pleased at the idea tnai some means win ue jluuuu whereby the merits of the warehouse system can be given to the people from the stump this summer, although lie appears somewhat reluctant that the warehouse commissioner should be forced to ask for another office in order to gain this right. In the reply to the question as to how he was pleased with the results of the recent meeting of the warehouse association in Columbia, the senator said: "Very much indeed. It J was singularly free from the suspicion ; of factional politics; a business meet-j ing pure and simple; the preserva- \ tion and extension of the usefulness of the system to our commercial and industrial life being its only end and the only thing receiving consideration." Asked how Commissioner McLaurin's proposition to become a candidate for lieutenant governor was re ceived by the meeting, Col. Banks answered: 4 It was well received by a few, but the great majority protested rather vigorously that it was an office tor which he was little fitted by rea-son of his talent for strong constructs e work." Col. Banks was told that it was rumored that in case the place for a champion for the warehouse system was disallowed on the stump this summer along with regular candi- j dates for State offices by the State ex ecuuve commiiiee, anoiner meeting would be "held. Asked as to what was ' contemplated to be done at such a ! meeting, and if it were likely that 1 McLauri.i* would be named as a can- 1 didate for governor, he said: "Xo one 1 can forecast with certainty the work j of a convention of a representative j body of business men. Personally 1 j do not desire to see McLaurin in any office except the one he now holds. The only thing I feel reasonably sure of is that the men composing our association are a unit in their purpose to have McLaurin make a campaign this summer in the State warehouse cause. A means to this end will surely be found.'' 1 From various quarters it has been t : suggested that Col. Banks might be 2 | candidate for governor or some other V 7 . ' -1 State office as a champion of thg i warehouse system a.d the idea seems to have attained considerable dimensions here of late. In answer to thfc direct question as to what his intention were in this regard, Col. Banks! was unhesitatingly positive. He said: i "I have not the slightest idea of run-f ning for governor or ally other State' office, either upoh the warehouse sys- j tern or any other issue. I confess to! a great desire to serve the ptkipla ofj my State, and especially the agricul- j tural people, with whom all my in- i , - -1 leresis are concerned, l am convinced ! that my greatest means of assistance' to them lies in my ability to aid in j putting into operation in a successful way the warehouse system. With this in view, I shall spare no efforts to perfect its usefulness. I feel that my greatest opportunity to be of service in this great scheme will come to me J upon the floor of the State senate, and I shall therefore seek reelection to! the senate from Calhoun county." Col. I?a ks was asked for a state-: ment in regard to the proposed bank j which would handle warehouse rel ceipts and enable owners of cotton to ! i secure mo. ey at low rates of inter-j CM, CUIlMUrl auit; IIieillHIIl Ol WHICH was made some weeks ago ia! the papers of this State an-1 Georgia. | He stated that this idea was tempo-j rarily overshadowed by issues of J primary ii^.iortance which would! have to be determined before the; bank idea could be co sidered by the! association.
