He bo-os e gricultural industry hle the oldest, and dates back ~wtthe beginning of man, is now growing out of its1 D ~aaddhng clothes and pressing Sfowward to maturity. Mr. Wat $0i ab iled all phases of the matrrelating to our agrieul s~re and our manufacturing. He f<gave wholesome advice with re ~gard to those ingredients which 'o to malte up the soil food, the. conservation of our lands. He showed the fearful waste due to -improvidence,. and how -this -waste can be stopped with but~ -little expense-the cost being mainly intelligence, as ignorance was in a large measure is respon 'sible for our farmers being the victimse of speculation. He compared our soils and clmate with- that of the great grain sections of the United Statest and claimed that we have thnsa people who have grown rihat adisadvantage all round, tat we can raise as good or even petter wheat and procure a larger yield, that we can raise stocof every kind at a much ~~,that in this state clim aare more fav- i PR: 'She Spring If a it hard are no high o youev 166., >rable than in any of the states >f the:West. or Europe, we can aise fruits anrd vegetables and. hat one of the greatest waste, >ur people are guilty of, is the uying of canned goods when heir children at odd moments :an-put up these goods in much >etter quality and save over one ialf in the cost.- Mr. Watson did iot fail to- express his disgust at xaving to welcome the first ship a reach Charleston through the anama Canal laden with bay for his stat-.-grass being brought rom abroad at an exorbitant est,when for the greater part of rear our farnmers are sweating in heir fields to destroy grass. He aid tha~t it has been fully dem nstrated South Ca'rolina can nd does grow as sweet and as untritious hay as ever came r(>m the ranches of the great iorthwest, then why should we onger. continue to pay tribute to he west for our sustainance; let ~he pendulum swing the other ray by giving more attention to ~omething else besides cotton. le urged his hearers to be ciu ious in the cotton planting oper Ltions this year. especially- did ie urge them not toj be deceived >y the alluring-prices now being >fered. He said that iu' his >pinion, the prices of today are tue to manipulation- and are iot natural-supply and demand igures but little in it, therefore >e not deceived into committing ,he folly of going into debt to )uy commercial fertilizers to nake a bumper crop of cotton; f, said the speaker, the south nakes anothe r such, or even a iormal crop of cotton this year, w'hether the war ends or not it mnlisbe a calamity. Commissioner Watson's speech v'as good as are alt of his peeches. He knows what he s talking about which counts ~or a whole lot: S. Oliver )'Bryan, Esq., introduced the ;peaker in a very -happy and Lppropriate manner. The next speaker Hon. John L1. McLaurin, was introduced by Japtamn W. 0. Davis who spoke >f the study made by Senator MfcLaurin of the financial condi ~ions of this country and his in erest in the warehouse ~propo ition. The audience gave the speak ~r a nice reception as he rose o make his address and he ex pressed his apprecation of hay ngthe privilege of appearing [NG with its rel How cal -season. fou are going t to resist the w showing! te style, the fl :der of Tailori er had agaim Note T refore a Clarendon audience again, that it was. Clarendon which was largely responsible for his having been sent to con gress when this county was in the Sixth District and he was greatly attached to this county because of this, and beeinse of having warm personal friende He realized that the hour was getting late and that to go into his subject fully would tire his hearers' so he confined himself to outlining the purpose of the State warehouseingr scheme as proposed by the General Ass am bly. Senator McLaurin went into the discussion of the financial situation, and recounted the dilfi culties which hatd been overcome recently by having cotton recog nized as a basis of credit by the government, and the large financial institutions of the coun try. He said that the views ex pressed by Commissioner Wat son cautioning the farmers not to be deceived by the present prices he endorsed in full, and that he hoped the warning would be regarded thr'oughout the en tire~ cotton growing belt. He showed how the farmers aan control the warehousing and marketing of their cotton ana save a great deal of money both in insurance rates and storage sharges. He told how the mem bers of the Federal Reserve Board regarded South Carolina's Warehouse Act, and with what1 aonfidence it has been -received by the financers of New York1 ind Boston. There is no trouble in procuring money at a low rate of interest,- and the local1 banks can be, if they will, of1 great help to the farmers. He1 was not antagobistic to the banks, but they must arrange their affairs to be of help to the< sole dependance of our prosper iy, for if the farmers fail, the1 entire commercial and industrial structure is weakened. He said that State Warehouse receipts 3re now regarded gilt edge se-< eurity, and money can be obtain- < ed upon them at as low rate as1 the best of other securities, 1 whereas heretofore cotton had no value as a security. Mr. McLaurin made it clear hat a new era is about to com- t mence in this country and that with an intelligent co-operationt there is no reason why the farm ars of the South cannot be inde pendent as is their due.

He showed what had- been ac complished, even by a small support, by the warehousing in the mat:.er of insurance. He said that any farmner can have bis warehouse on his farm and it does not n~eed any expert knowledge tobuild it, any man who can build an ordinary stable >r chicken coop cani also .build a cotton warehouse and with this kind of a house he has been enabled to reduce storage and insurance rates from 35 cents per baly to 8 1-3 cents per bale, and that lie is now in comnmuni aation with parties with t b-e hope that he will be enabled to still furter reduce the rate Senator McLaurin's speech was not only instructive but en ertaming, his handling of sta distics was done in such a man er that it bordered upon elo uence. He was attentively lis ~ened to-all the way through. By s ome misunderstanding, while making the announcements ~or the chautauqua a number in ~he audience who had come dis anees to hear Senator McLaurin ot under the impression that 2e would not speak until three 'clock, and they left before he >egan, with the intention of re urning at that hour-these were reatly disappointed when they earned of the misunderstandmng. The Senator was the recipient >f a large petition from citizens >f Summerton to speak in that own in the evening, and al hough he had important en ~agements elsewhere. he told he writer that he would* make a ~acrifice in order to comply with he wishes of the people of Clar mdon, so after dmnner he went o Sumimerton where he address d the people of that community.

The presence of ~these gentle men in Clarendon for this ocea sion was greatly appreciaited, not only by the committee .vho invited them but by the public generally, and we hope to ar range some time in the iuI~ure when the farmers are niot so bsy to have them back *vith us.
