Beat tie-Lanef graders bill, Senator 3. Arthur Banks, of Calhoun County, took occasion to give to the State Senate a review of the State Warehouse System, and - graphically pictured the won derful results which had been -accomplished not only in South rlina but -throughout the en. I re South, ,the. beneficent in. Ruence of the system," he said, "having radiated to every farm a the South." Senator Banks supported the State Warehouse idea when it Tasfrst advanced by Senator McLaurin, he lent his efforts to the passage of the bill, and he has consistently and ably be :riended the system since its es talishment. It was he who ac companied Senator McLaurin to e money centres to make ar gements for a^nning the State receipts and estabhlihing ther character, his own ware 'ousB had been placed in the aystem at the beginning, and in .his address to the senate he r spoke not only with a clear con ? eption of the general scope of the warehouse ideas, brt w.th st e towards low -insurance ortes and low interest charges. T1 3most striking thl'ng about State Warehouse System to be said, was the revelation Sthe possibilities of work for e becommon good by an individ who gave of his gifts of mind heart John L. McLaurm; aihad that rare combmna ~~nof the brilliant imagination Swth the ability to put his dreams into practical operation, [nd with a singular devotion to mt- oinl good. Beshowed how one of the jos serious obstacles to the ~organisation of the system was teudireasonable rates of insur '4mee isposed upon country cot Ston by insurance companies in a (hide-bound -combination, with a St-ate of three and one half per .eenZ prevailing, and with no pos --sibiiity of breaking into the comn Ghination by individual effort. Btthe genius of the State MWak'ehouse Commissioner finally succeeded in securing a $1.58 sate,' with pro rata cancellation, ~which made it possible for us .tocarry our-cotton through the Stite Warehouse System, in our ~-own warehouses, on our own ,arms, at one-third of the cost of carrying the cotton under the j1iod system of public warehouses a.4 other words, one dollar a talse a year, instead of three dol lar a atea year." Aerthe insurance feature was worked out,he contlanedLthe ~polmto be solved was to get snoney at reasonable rates to #ihfance the cotton. "Money was very scarce in the South at that e, and even those of us who -<eebest situated were unable to tarn our cotton into a liquid .sset by reason of the fact that ~we could not secure the money ~eddeven if we paid as high C-.eight per cent for it. Tbe Y5tate Warehouse Commissioner, 91shohad made a careful study of ,e Federal Reserve Law, con ~evdthe idea or that law ~iihseemed to guarantee s every citizen of the United States 4sufficient amount of money, upon reasonable rates, to con a legitimate business, and bhe madie an appeal to the Fed -ral Government for relief upon F aplan. He and I together, tion, and decided to write a let 4; er to'Mr. W. P. G. Harding, of the Federal Reserve Board, ask ing bis assistance." Senator Banks paid a tribute to Mr. Harding as an official who h ad proved his devotion to the interests of Southern agricul tore, "We went on to Wash ington and went over the situa flion with him, and he gave us a - ter of introduction to the big - financial institutions in New k, which letter I want to te in full." Here Senator Banks read the letter of Mr. Barding in which the State 1rhonse System was charac terized as a model system. "In i addition to this,' he said, "Sen- i ator McLaurin wrote a letter to l the President of the United States and enlisted his interest < in the cause. And then took the < matter up with the Secretary of the Treasury, Mr. McAdoo, who wrote a letter to Senator Mc- 1 Laurin pledging his assistance and endorsing the State Ware house System." This corres pondence with the President and the Secretary of the Treasury was read by Senator Banks. "The net result of these efforts" he said, "was the placing of thirty millions of .dollars in Southern banks to tinance the cotton of the South. accompan ied with an order that this mon- 1 ey should be loaned at a rate of interest not inn excess of six per cent, thus enabling the South ern cotton farmer to carry his cotton at charges less than half of what he would have had to pay had it not been for the State Warehouse System. "This reveals the wonderful I possibilities of what may be done for the masses of the peo pie by a-d.epartmentof the State handled by a man devoted to the common interests in the catuseof agriculture. Had it not been for the State Warehouse System, as evolved by McLaurin the dreamer, and put into op eration by canny Scotch prac tical gifts, so beautifully inter laced and working through the sound theories of the. idealist, who would have taken up this work and accomplished this re sult? And even if some one had been found with the brains and the devotion to do it, could any thing have ben don: unless the one who attempted it was cloth ed with th :bich the State of iousands S .3 in that . . pression, but the beneficent innuence of the work done by this State in organizing this department radiated to every cotton farm in the entire:4 South. "This is the work," he con cluded, "that has been done by 1 the State Warehouse System, whether it be a departure in De- I mocracy, as it is termed by its originator, or a departure out side of Democracy, as it is term d by its enemies." A synopsis of Senator Ban ks' i address cannot do it justice. The Senator from Calhoun'- is one of1 the clearest thinkers in public] life in South Carolina today, and his address was a magnificent presentation, supported by the I facts with which he is thorough ly familiar, of a department ofI the State Government which for several months past has been at- I tracting the atte'ntion of the busi i ness men of the nation and of its great thinkers in political econ omy General Villa bas been killed] so many times we can't see why 1i the cuss don't play dead.1 If we wanted to go down in history as a false profit the one big stunt we'd pull off, would be. to predict an early peace in Mex The man of millions is the one who will profit most by our new policy of . prepardness. Hence the man of millions is the one who should cough up liveliest in the matter of paying the freight. Tax the big incornes, and collect the taxes. THIN THIS OVER. People are doing quite a little : talking and reasoning on politi cal topics these days, and they will continue to buzz around un til after the year's elections have become history. Then they will; promptly forget all about it and the people they have placed in office will proceed to do as they1 please throughout their terms, and there are times that what h pleases the office holder is any- 1 thing but pleasing to the men who put him ther~e. Right there, Mr. Voter, is where we make a very great< mistake. We should keep right 1 after the office holder with asi much persistency after elections 1 as he employed in pestering us for our votes before the election.1 We should talk things over 1 among ourselves, and decide 14 what we need, and what .is best for our collective welfare, and then we should hang unto theli office holder like a hungry dog i grips a bone until he gets what] we want or it is shown not to be 1 within the bounds of possibility. If the official goes to veering1 1 off on some fool course it shul travel the road that we select' for him. He may be governor, or con gressman, or county official, all o those who like it. But *e are a he people and we are a whole a ot bigger than all of the gover- t fors and congressman and petit b ounty officials combined. Offi ;ials are merely the hired ser- n ants of the people Rho place 0 bem in office and who pay them C heir salaries, and their duties s re to obey the will of their b nasters. P Keep right on talking politics. nd discussing men and calndi- e ions, and pointing out the needs R nd requirements of the people s f our section of the State. And u lon't be afraid to let our public ervants hear you talk, for the 0 ore you talk the closer they P vil! listen, and that will all lead it o results favorable to us as a e >eople and as a community. s After we- have talked people o nto office we should continue 0 long and talk them into doing he right thing after they get a here. If any office holder doesn't 0 ike our brand of talk then we n Ere justified in assuming that we v lave made a mistake in placing urn there. s Sane discussion of conditions, s mud people and events is good . or this community, for it serves i wo distinct and wholesome pur- a ,oses. It brings forcibly to the a ore those things that are best t or us, and At lets our officials rnow that we are keeping both ' byes on them with a view to see ng that 'they perform their b luties as expressed by our will n a manner acceptable to us. U n EFFCIci o VOn T ? a Every time an election draws near a horde of candidates spring ip for the various offices within he gift of the people, s Some of these are mentally end morally competent, while o >thers are totally unfit. e Under our accepted theory of % self government we are presum- et :d to select men with especial d -egard to their qualifications. P! heir integrity. and their all -ound fitness for the particular ffice in view. That. though. is only theory. .n- practice we seldom do any hing of the kind. In theory the people are sup- .y osed to make their own selec- z ions. without bias - or coercion. ~ But they don't. I In practice the bosses, politely ermed leaders, assemble in se ret and make their own selec iions and then proceed to ram e* hem down the throats of the ei >eople who do the voting. L -In making those selections be e, ind closed doors the bosses (beg )ardon, the "leaders") give but ittle heed to the mere matter of itness or qualification. The one yredomi nating thought in their ninds is, "will he be amenibie *i 0 our advice and suggestions?" [he next and only remaining a: arobiem is that of delivering the otes. C In all of these proceedings the yeople are not consulted, al- p hough they perforce must foot? he bills. The only privilege ac- G ~orded these "sovereign people" s to vote, and vote as they are ~old (beg parden again, as they are "advised"). a The man who is good to the ii 0sses (shucks, we mean "le-.d rs") can keep right on holding a a ublic office as long as he con ines to be good to his masters,b mless in the meantime the peo- a :e become so disgusted they iterally kick him out. And why is it so? Very simple, Mr. Voter, very , imple mndeed. 1 p Having held their secret con ~lve and selected their man .theS osses sally forth with angel p aces and sing the praises of him. I [hey endow him with all of the p ~races of the human race, be ~tow upon him the wisdom of soloman, and advertise him far Lnd wide as 'the hope >f the >eople." And because we (the people) are not bosses (abem! leaders); >ecause we talk little and think ess; because we follow the "ad rice" of the bosses instead of in restigating men and conditions >urselves-because of all these hings we elect the tools of the osses today and curse our sys em of government tomorrow. Bosses are not confined to iation al and State politics. They lourish in every district, in ~very county, in every township Lnd in every city and village. Bosses are every where, schem g, wire pulling, enticing, dic ating, forcing their will upon a >eople whose will alone should >e supreme. Bosses do not like to be called oseses, They prefer to pose . loyal party leaders, whose 'duty" it is to guide "the peo >le" in the way they should go. And the way of the bosses is ~ o subtle that the people do not a lize th at they are being led round by the nose, that they re being herded like sheep, that ey are obeying the will of the osses at every election. It is a difficult matter for any ian to secure even the humblest f public offices without' tirst se aring the approval of the bos s, and that approval renders in unfit to loyally serve the eople as a whole. We would like to see a differ. at system in vogue, and we ould like to see it make the art right- in this local com unity. We would like to see the names r every man who seeks office Dsted' where the people can see Then we would like' to see very voter make his own decis on without a single suggestion e a word of advice from any Iher person. Then we might hope to find ien filling public office because efficiency, whereas now it is ainly a question of bosses and Dtes But we insist that the people could be free to make their own Ilections without persuasion or iterference from the bosses, for is our opinion that but few en can be loyal to the people i a people and yet be satisfac >rv to the bosses. Some of these days the people ill awake to a realization of eir political power and the asses will cease to exist. They ill be just voters, as the rest of s have have been for these any years.

Stock that is eh too old is not sweet and tender as it Ki should be. One cannot build up a reputation by selling it. - lac Old stock, if less than three or four C seasons of age, is better for breeding ba purposes than for market. by 'Youngsters hatched from the eggs of by yearling and two-year-old ducks, and rui geese are the most'vigorous. W A crate with a slatted bottom and set up off the floor or ground is an ed of K 8 El Emden Geese. in open shed is an ideal arrangement for ed winter fattening. Provide a trough to fit in front of H each crate and let the birds feed w through the slats. on Arrange to give plenty of water or be skim milk at all times. Dairy wastes re. can be well utilised In ming up mash of foods for fattening the fowls. Do not crowd too many fowls in a of rate. Let-there be room enough for by each bird to stand at the trough with- iot out trampling each other. far The birds should be provided with "ar plenty of sharp gravel or other grit. Start them on full feed -.t once and keep them on it for 18 days at least. Jf A duck or goose will lay on a large Es amount of fat in this timo if properly fed. It is about as long as :. water uy fowl can be fed wFith profit. B Feed a mash food of corn chop and Le oats three timer tally. Let the base of this mash br -ut lover, cut-alfalfa or bran. It must have - bulk base of some kind in order -o do the fowl_ the most good. Corn -r cornmeal alone Is not a good atter.S The Idea of feeding mash food is that It puts morr 'esh on the fowls because It is more easily assimilated by the fowls' systems. Ducks and geese well fitted are al- ch ways in big demand in the cities. Culls and poor and old stock will never Alt bring over omarket prices. EXERCISE FOR LAYING HENS When Feeding Grain Scatter It Far 1 and Wide and Make Fowls Htate to Gather ft Up. In the first place do not overfeed. Bear In mind that If a hen Is to be kept in laying condition, she must g have exercise. When you feed graini, dir do not put It In a trough where the 3r< hens can stand and eat their fill, but to scatter It far and wide, as the hens C' wlllfnd every grain. If the snow is -~ on the ground after the cold season 1 sets In. throw the grain In leaves or s ct straw, so as to keep them busy. Do not feed grain exclusively, but give de a variety. Allow ground meat or pa meat and bone fresh from the butch- d. r, three times -a week. Vary the re gain, feeding corn, wheat and oats, e~I and give cabbage, cooked turnips, clover leaves or any other food that al the hens will eat.
