?. ?II ASKS COMMISSION TO HELP FARMERS Warehouse Commissioner to Be Chairman* With Ten Other Members?Would Save Money. The State. Addressing a joint session of the general assembly last night, J. Skottowe Wannamaker, president of the American Cotton association, urged the passage of an act creating a cotton commission to be composed of ten members, one from each congressional district and three from the state at large of which the warehouse commissioner shall be chairman, this commission to have charge of the administration of the state warehouse system. The commission would be named by the governor on the recommendation of the American Cotton association. Amendment of the warehouse act so as to permit the chairman of this commission, who would be heavily bonded, to make acceptances, discounts and borrow money for the purpose of effecting direct sales of cotton was also urged by Mr. Wanna maker. , It was declared by Mr. Wannamaker that this would enable the commission to make direct sales of cotton collectively both at home and abroad. He would have the commission given the further power of licensing graders, weighers and ginners, every bale of cotton eventually to be graded and all grades stencilled thereon. The teaching of the commercial side of production in the state schools and colleges was also strongly urged by Mr. Wannamaker. He told the ? ?i - il-x i.1 J general assemDiy mat tney nau an opportunity to enact some constructive legislation. Mr. Wannamaker's speech follows in part: "For the purpose of enabling the cotton producer of South Carolina to remove economic conditions, to put the co-tor. industry, and eventually other lir.es of production, upon a busir.e:-s Ivr":-. ve ask that you create a cotton c--?r-'."iiss?cn by the passage of, th3 y legislation; this cotton j ? *%. ? o? a.l of one i ? ~ 7 " .

Perm't this com- j mission to operate the state ware-; -house .act so anrendsd; that you further amend the state warehouse act so as to permit the chairman of this commission, who is to be heavily j bonded, to make acceptance, dis- j .counts, borrow money for the purpose of offecting direct sales of cotton, and these obligations to in no wise pledge the credit of tt^ state. This will enable the commission to make direct sales of cotton collectively both at home and abroad. It will result in an enormous saving in the marketing end of cotton! tremendous benefits to the j producers. The duties of this commission shall include the economic reforms included in the aims, objects and purposes of the America^ Cotton association. The commission shall be given the further power of licensing graders, weighers and ginners, every j hale of cotton eventually to be grad-1 ed and all grades stencilled thereon.' Earnest requests have been made i that in addition to the regular ware-! house commissioner who is to have charge of the duties of commissioner j that a board of ten members, one I from each congressional district and 1 three at large, be created. The \ u ~ 1 warehouse commissioner is iu uc chairman of the board which will have j general conduct of the system. "As a result of the enactment of this piece of constructive legislation, j without expense to the state of South j Carolina, warehouses can be con- j Sw.UcteJ in every county in the entire i state sufficient to hold the cotton j nrndne^d in said county owned and ! r - controlled locally. Warehouses can be constructed by the ginneries for the purpose of warehousing cotton i and prevent the damage caused by | exposure to weather. South Carolina proportion of the loss from country damage, from undergrading, unnecessary sampling, extra transportation charges, unnecessary middlemen and loss in penalties from marine insurance, can be removed and the handling of the cotton crop can be put upon a business basis and tremendous benefits secured. It will not entail a burden some expenses. The members of the board, with the exception of the chairman, will only draw a small per diem and traveling expenses, so that the expense will be extremely small. While this cotton ? ii? ?i?~ +1,^. commission Will greatly emaigc mc duties and responsibilities of the present warehouse department still the additional expense would not be lar^e, and considering the great benefits to be received, would be infinitesimal. ?

As a result, cf tH'.-*' ! legislation, transferring the market-1 c i ing and business end of our cotton } j production from Europe to America, j t | it will furnish employment for a J1 ! host of our young men without addi- t j tional tax upon our state or the 1 i producer. While it might appear that y, the passage of this legislation will v delay other legislation, at the same \ : time it will bring ocnents to our uuu- i . cational system, our rural conditions, p < our roads, and in fact to every legriti- a mate industry in the state. It will re- r i suit in making South Carolina an s ' open market with free competition, j \ which is the life of trade. It will t annihilate the blighting, damnable re- p | suit in the allotment of territory to | v certain powerful adverse interest? 1 _ | which annihilates competition. This s i legislation is as necessary to the s | proper handling of our cotton in-' f ' dustry as air, water and food is to ' v 1 j i human life. , ]; | "Cotton is the safest security in the y 1 world when properly handled. It n ' has loner been the football of the ? I gambler. Enormous combinations f today control the market. We hear of i the organization of an enormous cor-1 poration formed for the purpose of! handling our cotton crop. If we fail g< to secure these reforms through this ^ legislation it simply means that some one else will continue to attend to our _ I _ __ m cL business. All that is necessary is to ? lay aside politics, cooperate, for the purpose of securing these benefits which will not only completely reform ^ the cotton industry, bringing benefits rp to the producer of today, to our state, jg but will result in benefits to the entire cotton industry not alone for ^ the present generation but genera-. tions unborn." j gj PAUL ADAMS WINS !1 ? - ? V1 TUKKtl Ai jnuui w Under the above headline the Wichita, Texas, Daily Times of the ' 25th ultimo, had an account of the ' last weekly shoot of the Wichita Palls ' Gun club, at which our Paul Adams was the victorious leader, he beins: C( the only shooter to shatter fifty of ^ the clav pieeons. Good for Paul. His 1 T Newberry friends will t>e pieasea 10 hear this of him. As it is interesting reading we reproduce that portion of the article which is of greater moment to friends here: Cl "Jf the clay pigeons had been rab- P1 bits, better scores would have been made at Friday's weekly shoot of the SI Wichita Falls Gun club; rabbits have cr been made to slow down whep leaping throueh mud, but clay pigeons mock P1 at mud and whirl crazily through the d; atmosphere under all weather conditions, whirl and skid 'on the turn' P] even more crazily when the wind is m freshening steadily as it was Friday tfc afternoon. ot "P.

"Seventeen members of the club traversed an ocean of mud cc to reach the traps, and, unfavorable 1*2 conditions considered, some pretty ie shooting resulted. " j ? The Herald and News is glad to \ know that Paul is as expert at shoot-1 ing "birds" as he is at handling sa autos. We get the above clipping cl from a letter by the young man's U] sister, Miss Nellie, to their mother, ol Mrs. Jno. C. Adams, dated February in 10, the said young lady being on a H vi'cit "nnt there." In her bright ar.d M interesting letter she tells of a flight ar in an aeroplane, in which she stayed *a over ten minutes at an altitude of of over 2,000, on an "air speed of 60." i She says the only sensational part of or of the trip is when you "come down." ce ? ~ " -L- J i_l.

We see where j 'ley have visited several counties, j etting in their work, which is to drop | pocketbook containing money, finding" it in the presence of some j nsuspecting negro who has money, j lat fact having been first ascertained ; y a confederate of the schemers. j he idea is to show a bill of a much j irger denomination than the intend- j d victim can change and then get j im to leave what he has with them I nd go and get more, when the divi-1 on will take place. In some in- j ;ances the victim leaves as much as 500 or more, which the robbers skip ith. These thieves were in Newsrry a week ago, but must have sard that our wide awake chief and j ssistants were on the lookout for lem, as they got off to parts unnown before victimizing anyone 2i*e, although one negro came near ?tting stuck. WELVE MILLS LEVY FOR APPROPRIATIONS ' I I The general appropriation bill, irrying a levy of 1 "2 mills for state irpores, was introduced in the house st nrrht and will come up for con-, deration today. The to Lai amount trried* in the appropriations is 3,SSO,827.16. The 3600,000 appro- ; nation for the Citadel made yester ay in the house and calling for a vy of one-half mill on all taxable roperty is not included, as this j easure is yet to be considered by le senate, and there are several ;her measures calling for appropriaons which are yet to be met, such 5 the Johnstone bill in the senate: "oposing salary increases for all ate officials. The proposed two mill, vy for good roads would not be ided, as this requires that each j - i >unty shall expend tfte amount it | tises within its own borders. The vy last year was 9 1-2 mills.
