JANUARY IT. 1S94. LOUIS APpELT!. A.u' 2!.:. 1P1. MANNING. S. C., ..NE i, 191" PUBLISHED EVERY WEDNESDAY I. I. APPELT. EDITOR AND PROPRIETOR. Carranza, like the smoking volcano, has been spouting again. This world is full of givers and takers, with every- ody wanting to be a taker. A few of our favorite sons, however, appear to have unload ed the bulk of their favoriteism. 'Tis with regret that we fail to note your hat in the presiden tial ring. But, then, we even yet have hopes. There is always one ray of hope which never fades from the mind of a vice president. The president is human and must die. 'Tis said that an elephant's trunk contains fourty thousand muscles, which, doubtless, makes it almost as supple as the tongue of a political spellbinder. There is a new calendar out that covers twenty centuries, from 100 to 2100, And, incident ally, we hope the war will be osver by the time a new one is in demand. Our esteemed friend. Poo Bah Carranza, has dcicately intimat ed that it would please His Poo Barship mightily if the United States turned tail and sneaked out of Mexico without Villa. No doubt! Japan is preparing to bite off another snece of China. But, then,-Chin?. has 400,000,300 peo ple who cannot tight because they have nothing with which to fight. How would you like to be the Chink? Some men like to look like Lincoln, others prefer to roar lhke Roosevelt, and a contingent would even orate like Wilson. But the rest of us, begorra, don't care a cuss how they look, roar and orate. We admire men, not imitations. ,Shake up your brains, brother shake tbem up lively. Some where in .the dark recesses of your cranium is an idea that would be of great value to your home community. Let the idea out and pass it along for examination and dis section and for possible use for the betterment of our people. Any man of normal intelli gence is full of good ideas, but few people care to exploit thema before the public. And yet the exploitation of ideas is just what we need for the improvement of local conditions. Step forward and tell us what you know or what you think. Much of it may not be utilized, but there may yet appear the * one great opportunii~y for which tpis community is waiting. Do it now and your action may spur your neighbors to such an extent that we may eventually get somewhere and do some thing. The latest drink craze that has invaded our State is "Bismark Beer." From what we learn this beverage contains one per cent alcohol, but from the taste it is a fac.simile of "Schlitz" or any other standard brand. This stuff is being hauled into the State inisolid car loads and Co lumbia is the distributing point, right in the face of our "Law and Order" governor. If this stuff is allowed to be sold, South Carolina will be in the same fix Georgia was in for- many years. with their near-beer saloons. The whiskey people in Georgia would put up a "Near-Beer" sign, but when you got on the inside, you found the regular old time bar-room, wit bartend er behind the high counter, mix ing any old drink you call for. from a mont-julip to a Scotch highball or a lolly pop. Is Sou th Carolina bordering on this? We pray that these "grog-shops" will be put right out of business, and that our prohibition law will not be the mockery that Georgia was. JNO. L. McLAURIo SHOWS BENEFITS 0 WAREHOUSES. Before a somewhat Aball though representative audienci in the city park Monday morn ing, John L. McLaurin, forme: United States senator, and nov State warehouse commissioner made a lucid address in whici he pointed out the beneficial re suits of the establishment an< operation of the State warehous system, and discussed a numbe of features of the system, point ing out the peculiar benefits tha it would confer upon this sectiot of the State. Mr. McLaurin was heart throughout with keen interest and at the conclusion of his tall discussed other phases of th< subject in answer to question: from the audience. Mr. Mc Laurin discussed also the rura credits subjects, and the pro posed licensed graders bill. Mr. McLaurin will speak Moi day night at Woodside mill, an< there is every indication that hi will have a larger audience. a: there are features of the cottor warehouse system that make i a matter of importance '0c ialiy to the operatives i mills and other mant a . plants. Mr. McLaurin ,er ed two addresses in Auidersoi Saturday, one to a city audience and one to an audience at the Equinox mill. DEPLORES FACTIONALISM Mr. McLaurin commenced hi. address in the city park Mc-ndla' morning by expressing deep re gret at the factionalism that ha: been injected in affairs politica in this State during recent years He said he did not think an' State had suffered more in til past 25 years, or had stood more in her her own light, by reasoi of factionalism, than South Car olina. Through this cause, hi said, progress has been halted and a man's capacity for influ ence and usefulness. has bee measured simply solely by hi: allegiance to this man or tha man. Mr. McLaurin declare< that in the campaign of educa tion that he has been making daring the past year, he ha: been doing so purely on the bas is of the measures which he ha: been trying to bring before th< people, and without reference t< any factional politics. He sait he thought the time had comt when people should look ti measures and not men, and in vestigate for themselves wha the menstood for, and vote ac cording to their best interests. Mr. McLaurin declared tha what South Carolina most need ed for her development, is th< right kind of men to take ad vantage of her natural resource: DIVIDING STATE LINE. In recent years. ssid Mr. Mc Laurin, there has' grown up. line dividing sharply the eas tern and the western portions o the State. A number of tear; ago, the conditions 'were prac tically the all all over the Stat< -it was an agricultural country But in the past 20 or 25 years the up-country has develope< the manufacturing side to a larg< extent "I can see the slov subtle change that is being worked in the character of thi people of the up-country," hi declared. When he was electe< State senator from Marlbor< county, Mr. McLaurin said, an< brought up the State warehous' system, lie could draw a line be tween the upper and lower sec tions of the State, and saw tha while the lower section favore< the system, the upper sectioi was either oppesed to it or wa: indifferent. This same state o affairs cuntinues in a large mea: ure at the present time, said Mi McLaurin. In spite of this condition, th State warehouse system am what it stands for. is really mor< important to the up countra than to the lower sections of th< State, said Mr. McLaurin~7 Ti< warehouse plan is not contined to South Carolina, said Mr. Mc Laurmn, and lie expressed confi dence that a similar act would soon be adoptea in Georgia anc North Carolina. The object of the warehouse system, the speaker pointed out is to stabilize cotton values, and to make farming more attracti v( by increasing the protit anid miai ing it more certain. "In theO lasi 20 years. there has been n greater gamble than that of the farmer when he plants his cot ton crop," assertedt the forme: senator characteristically. Mr. McLaurin which he stat ed that lhe had secur'ed from the New York cotton exchange, foi lowing a somewhat similar statt menit by WV. P. C. Harding. in speech in Birmingborm, to show~ the fluctuation in cotton prices btween the time it was pae months of the succeeding year He read from his figures, show ing that in 1904, the price of cot ton between October and June of the next year, rose from 8 cents to 15.87 per pound this showing a loss of about $50 per bale to farmers who had to sell when i the crop was put on the market, - and which amount was made by I the middlemen and others who a could hold on to the staple for eight months Mr. Hardings figures had showed that between L October and June, for a period 1 of ten years, there was an aver age difference in the price of cot ton of $27 per bale. In 1916, Mr. McLaurin showed, men who had put their cotton into the State warehouses, and were thus enabled to hold it, got from 4 to 5 cents more per pound. The I object of the warehouse system - is to remedy such a state of affairs. i Mr. McLaurin declared that I he resented the charge that he a was proposing "class legisla > tion" in he warehouse system, since the object of it was to put t more money inIo the farmer's hand and this meant greater prosperity for every citizen and every class of business in the State, since the prosperity of i the farmer was the basis of most other prosperity in his State. Greenville county has shown more indifference to the system than any other county in the State, said Mr. McLanrin. Mr. McLaurin pointed out why it was that under the old system, it became necessary for farmers, who had'made their crop on borrowed money, to sell as soon as possible. Cotton is synonymous, international trade with gold. he said, and the finan cial interests, of New York, in order that New York's superior ity in the financial world be maintained, found it necessary for their own interests to start the exportation of cotton as soon as possible, in order to bring the returning tide of gold into- this country. It was not that these interests were seeking to inflict injury upon the South but were merely preserving their own in terests. Consequently, the won ey centers weuld not permit the bank to renew the notes held by the merchant who had put out 1their goods with the farmers on credit until the cotton should be Ssold, and as a result of this, the merehant was forced to make the farmer sell his cotton. The middleman, Mr. McLaur in pointed out. stands between the farmer and the cotton mill, and takes toll, and with a per. fection of the warehouse system, this middleman would be elimi nated. The warehouse system, he said, was to enable the farm ers to hold the cotton until the mills of the world were ready to Ltake it up. PRIVATE WAREHOUSE INADE QUATE. The inadequacy of private warehouses for such a purposes, because of the fact that their certificates are not recognized outside of their immediate local. ity, was pointed out by Mr. Mc Laurini. The only relief is to have the guarantee of the State placed back of the warehouse certificate. This would make Ithe cotton a "fluid asset" similar in char-acter to the bonds of the railroads and other securities. Sand would put the farmer on the same basis as his wealthier -neighbor. Under this plan, the State would guarantee the ~weight, grade and delivery of the cotton. and enable the cer tiricates issued by the e~arehouse to be reccognized as security by the banking system the United States, thus making it negotia ble secuirity, the value of which is attested by the State's guar antee. Mr. McLaurin said that the system was at first hooted at as the drecam of a dreamer. He pointed out in detail, however, how he had after great effort, secured the r-ecogr~ition of the warehouse certificates by the officers of the banking systems of the county, which meant that they could be recognized by the Federal reserve banks in their dealings through the various na tional banks of the States. He told how lhe had "'converted" Mr. Hading, then Mr. Macadoo and1( the'n how he had borrowed larg sc-ums on State warehouse ceriticattes from the National City baink of New York. His narration of his boi-rowing mon er- in this wa~y for Senator Arth ur- Banks, when the latter was unable to get monep in this State. The money had been se cuired at 5 per cent. Mr. Mc Laurin had suggested that it be loaned at four per cent, but Mr. Banks, according to Mr. Mc Laurin was satisfied with five, iemarking jecularly that if he borrowed money at four per cent it would feel as if he had been stealing. HIT GREENVILLE DELEGATION. Mr. McLaurin declared that he knew that people who held their office only by partism poli tics would take a stand against him, and there were a good many of these in the general assembly, he intimated. Speaking of Greenville county, he said "you didn't send men from Greenville county to help the farmer. I don't know what you sent them for. Maybe you sent them to get good roads, and maybe you will get good roads and poverty along with them. SYSTEM SUCCESSFUL. Mr. McLaurin said the ware house system has been in opera tion for about eighteen months, and a great many bales have been handled and considerable money borrowed during this time. But the system has not lost a bale of cotton, and had no difference with any banking in stitution in that time. "Where can you find a private business, he asked, that has been in oper ation this long, and has had so little trouble?" Mr. McLaurin said that if he had started the system in the in terest of the middlemen, he would have had no trouble at all. Since it was started is thelinter est of the farmer, however, op position has arisen, and he indi ted that obstacles had been been thrown in the way, in the matter of insurance, and in oth er ways. Mr. McLaurin said that now, since they don't dare an attack upon him personally, but he declared that this would not stop him. The warehouse system was the beginning of the cutting of the rates of interest on money, Mr. McLaurin .pointed out, and he declared that the farmers had been "eaten up" by usurious interest rates. Mr. McLaurin praised President Wilson for what he had done for the farm ers. He declared that people needed to have more knowledge on what a bank is. and to learn the difference between a true bank and a pawnbroker's shop He quoted from Mr. Harding's speech in Raleigh, in which the latter told of the excessive rates of interest charged by many banks in the Southern States, some of these rates going, in some instances, above 100 per cent. Such a c'ondition would be rem edied by the valorization of cot ton under the State warehouse system, Mr. McLaurin pointed out, and would relieve the poor man, the man who had no per sonal credit, and upon whom the difficulties of borrowing money at fair rates fells hardest, and who suffered most in 's negotia tions for borrowing iey. The State warehouse system makes a bale of cotton of equal value as collateral for the blackest rne gro, as for the well-to do white man. RURAL CREDITS Mr. McLaurin discussed the need for rural credits. and sug gested that the same principles involved in the warehouse could be enlarged to apply to land, as well as the product of land-cot ton-and this would give an ef fective rnral credit system. He outlined a system which he had suggested. by which bonds would be issued upon land, guaranteed by the State, and the interest collected by the State just like taxes, with a small amount added that would wipe out the indebtedness in a given period say thirty years. He said a New York banker had told him he could land a hund red million dollars on such bonds. Mr. McLaurin intimated that he had little hope for the rural credit bill passed by congress, inasmuch as it rested upon a bas is of farmers making their land responsible for other people's indebtedness, and he did not think this would work otrt here, althoughb it had been successf ally operated in militaristic Germ any. Mr. McLaurin pointed out what rural credits had done for Germany, however, by showing that 90 per cent of the cultiva tors of the soil own their farms. He pointed out the great eco nomic advantagef that Germany lan reaped from such a system. Mr. McLaurin discusse the proposed licensed graders' bill, and declared that he would in. sist that the grading be done without knowledge, on the part of the graders, of who owned the cotton, in order to assure impartiality.-Greenville P i e d mnt.

Czar Honors Emir of Bokhara. The vastness of the Russian em pire was emphasized when it was made a known that the czar had aniointed a Emir of Bokhara, one of his tributary - monarchs, an aide-de-camp general attached to his suite. Nicholas also sent the Emir a formal C message thanking him for the gifts Bokhara has contributed to Russian ] war funds and for the care which the s Asiatic prince has taken to see that no disorder in his state disturbed Rus sian internal harmony.
