VOL. XXXVII MANN,-_CWENSAY-ERAR.4-11 MANNING, S. C., WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 14, 1917 -- -_O M[AURIN NAMED FOR GOVERNOR BY MANY WAREHOUSE SUPPORJERS Meeting of Organization in Columbia Last -Night Resolves Itself into Session of McLaurra Boosters-O. K. Mauldin Named for Lieut. Gov ernor-Dabbs and R. M. Cooper Withdraw. Columbia, Feb. 13.-A new politi cal faction was set in motion last night when the State warehouse as . sociation "recommended" John L. McLaurin of Bennettsville for gov ernor and Oscar K. Mauldin of Green ville for lieutenant governor. Mr. MeLaurin and Mr. Mauldin promised to make the race. Senator J. A. Banks presided at the meeting. The action of the members in in troducing politics into the proceed ings has caused a split in the ranks of the State warehouse association. When a State ticket was proposed, M. O. Dantzler of Orangeburg, R. M. Cooper of Wisacky, members of the executive committee of the associa tion and E. W. Dabbs, former presi dent of the South Carolina State Farmers' union, withdrew from the meeting. In his speech of acceptance Mr. McLaurin said that he would make the State warehouse system an issue in State politics and that he would begin his campaign for governor next summer. He said that he would rather be warehouse commissioner than governor, but tnat the present administration was unfriendly to the. system and that he would enter the race to save the State warehouse. The labor unions and the secret farmers' societies will be asked to join in the McLaurin gubernatorial boom. The meeting of the association was held last night in the council cham ber and was attended by 25 delegates from the yarious counties. Mr. McLaurin uried the members to return to their homes and begin organization for the political cam paign in 1918. Before withdrawing from the meet ing E. W. Dabbs introduced the fol lowing resolution: "Whereas, There is no real reason for the recent slump in cotton ex cept the psychological fear that re cent high prices will stimulate such 1 an increased acreagd that cotton will again be a drug on the market; and, "Whereas, Labor conditions, high prices of fertilizers, and the scarcity 1 and high prices of food, together with the ravages of the boll weevil, 1 will prevent a big yield, regardless of the acreage; but, "Whereas, Increased acreage will have the effect of further increasing the psychological depression, and, "Whereas, It will be nothing short of a crime for us to sit down and make no effort to impress these facts upon the farmers, business men and 1 bankers of the South; now, 'there fore, be it, "Resolved, That this body do re spectfully memoralize the governor, the general assembly, and Col. E. J. Watson, president or the Southern i Cotton Congress and president of I the Commissioners of Agriculture of < the Southern States, to urge our < farmers to increase the acreage in < food crops to prepare not only to feed all the people of the Southern States, "Resolve. That they urge every farmer to b, his cotton acreage to 1 the size c . that he can cultivate properly and pick and prepare for market in good condition. "Resolved, That we urge your hon orable bodies to take steps for con cert of action by all the officials of the Southern States t~o make the peop~le of the South familiar wvith these facts and to get busy now and get results before it is too late. "Resolved, That this association calls upon the legisiature to pass< such necessary measures .a havet been recommended by the former warehouse commissioner for the im provement and perifectionl of the sys temi, "Resolved, That wve pledlge our ' united supp~ort to the present comn- I missioner in every effort he may< make to perfect and improve thei system."

Young, Boyd and others contending that it would de feat the purpose for which it was drafted and Mr. Toole, its author defending its passage on the ground that while it was not perfect, it would afford some relief to those de siring to take advantage of the fed eral land bank. The house refused to recommit the bill by a vote of 52 to 68 and then passed it from third reading to the senate. CAPT. J.' J. MORRIS DEAD Prominent Lake City Citizen and Veteran Dies Suddenly.

OUR WEEKLY LETIER FROM MR. I THINKS [[GI Columbia, Feby. 12th, 1917. Editor Times: This is Monday of the last week of the session, and if I am to give a letter this week I must write it today, although very little has trans pired of importance to write you since the middle of last week. The most absorbing question still before the whole legislature at this time, Monday afternoon, is the liquor subject. The house has passed the out and out prohibition bill and sent it to the senate. The senate has al ready expressed itself by a vote against the air-tight prohibition idea, and that means that there will be no absolutely dry liquor legislation at this session. The senate is still dis cussing two of their bills providing for one quart, and will take up the matter tonight. Whatever they do will then have to come over here and go through the house. It would not surprise me if the nal outcome is that nothing will be done at all; but if the law is finally changed at all, it will be that the amount which a person may order will be reduced to one quart, and the applicant will first have to go to the clerk of court and exhibit a poll tax receipt and get a certificate to order. This will cut out the negro women from ordering whiskey and will materially reduce the sale by blind tigers. But by the time you to go to press on Wed nesday you will be able to get some idea what will be done. 1 think this legislature will adjourn next Saturday. That is the fortieth day, and after that time the members usually get restless, and want to go home. A great many local matters have been passed, of interest to the various counties in the State. All of this -is argument in support of my plan of holding a constitutional convention, and changing the constitution so that some of these purely local matters may be settled by taxation and road managing boards in the various coun ties, and then let the legislature meet once in two years and pass general laws affecting the entire State. Practically all of the session of the house this morning was devoted to local county matters. Quite an amus ing matter came up. It seems that Fairfield county once had the rural police system and decided that the system cost a lot and did very little good, so the county got rid of them. It was contended that the system was very expressive to the people, aid that the biggest thing they did was to bring all manner of trashy cases into the court that there was nothing in, so they got rid of them entirely. So this morning the question came up as a bill to create two rural police men again in that county. There are only two members of the house from Fairfield, and one was in favor of re-establishing the rural police, and the other member was against it. That was a case of a house being di vided against itself, so this side sent the matter over to the senate to set tle it, and this puts the question squarely up to the senate from Fair CIVIC LEAGUE TEAS One of the most delightful of the Civic League teas was that given by Mesdames George ani Herman 1-lug gins on Saturday morning.

IILASTh IN llRlITISHI l.ondlon, Feb. l1.--An explosion oc.. -urred at a munitions factory tod~ay in Yorkshire. A n offleial statement says that apparently no lives were lost.

Durinj the discussion it developed that quite a number of counties throughout the State have tried the system and have decided to do away with it, and let the magis trates and constables enforce the law. Really, this is a question for people to think about. I believe the rural policemen in our county costs us $2700 per year. So far as I know there is no pressing demand from our county to do away with them. The insurance question was one of the biggest questions to be settled by this,: legislature, and I think the mat ter Is virtually settlee. A series of measures have already passed the house on the insurance question, and will pass the senate. The governor will sign these measures, and I think I can safely predict that the old line fire companies wilr in thirty lays again be doing business in the State. All this troble was caused by radical, headlong, drastic legislation one year ago. There is such a thing as pass ing reasonable and sane laws, which will benefit the people, and there is another such thing as passing laws which do the people more harm than good. This series of insurance acts is not absolutely perfect, but they will greatly relieve the situation. I have given this matter considerable thought, and I am certainly glad that the question is settled for the pres ent, and the laws may be improved on from year to year. The State highway commission measure for the improvement of the roads, and bringing our State into line to receive Federal aid is the next big question before us this week. We must do something in order to get the benefit of the government funds, and it will have to be (lone at this session. This is too big a subject for me to undertake to go into it in a letter. The house has passed the gen erql State appropriation bill, and sent it Jo the senate. We put the knife to Jany proposed appropriations, and ev n with all that taxes are going to be eight mills instead of six and a half as last year. This is largely due to the State deficit of $300,000.00 arising from last year. The last leg islation just went ahead and made extravagant appropriations, and the taxes were unsuflicient to meet the appropriations, and of course the re sult was a big deficit. t canot tell much a:,out county fi nancial matters yet. While at home Saturday I asked Supervisor Kelly to run up here tomorrow and go over all these matters with us. Its no pic nic to bL in the legislature. I told Johnson and Mellett and DuRant that if they would take over the county affairs entirely and relieve me of the responsibility I would give them a free hand, and would devote my thoughts and efforts entirely to State matters, but they would not agree. I just want to tell the people at home, that I believe every man up here is doing his best, with the extras before us, and of course we will make mis takes, and some people will criticise us about our county matters, but don't cuss too bad.

REGAftI)EJ) AS SIGNIF'ICANTl Wife of~ Austrian Charge to Leave With Bernstorff. Wash ingtoun, lFeb. 13:.--Bnartmess Zwviedmnek, wife of the chaiirgen of the A ustrian embamssy, has made arrange.. me'nts to depart from the United States with Count and Count(ess Von Hernstorff~ and the Germain emibassy staff. In some quarters the~ depart.. ure of the wife of the charge was regarded1 as significant, in view of the status of relations between the Unite'd States and A ustria. .At the Austrian enibassy, however, it was said that the Baroness simply was taking advantage of what seem ed to be a safe opportunity to return to Austria, where her children are. Canopic Reaches Boston. Boston, Feb. 13.-The White Star liner Canopic, from Mediterranean ports with passengers, arrived at (luarantine today. NO DELAY IN LATEST PROBE Comprehensive Investigation of High Cost of Living, Oroered by Presi dent, Will Get Under Way Imme diately. Washington, Feb. 11.-The broad, comprehensive investigation of the high cost of living, ordered by Pres ident Wilson, will get under way with out delay. Both the federal trade commission and the department of agriculture, which will conduct the probe, today began to receive sug gestions as to lines or inquiry to be followed. It is probable that (luring the coming, week the president will receive estimates to be transmitted to congress, demanding funds to fi nance the probe. A suggestion as to finding out the reasons of the high cost of bread came today from Representative Rainey, of Illinois, in the form of a letter to Secretary of Agriculture Houston. "I suggest," said Representative Rainey, "the calling of the following men to testify as to what they know about a concerted effort to put up the price of bread: Paul Schulze, million aire baker, of Chicago; S. F. McDon ald, of Memphis, president of the na tional master bakers' association; J. M. Bell, of Chicago, secretary of that 'rganization; John Lind, of Minne a, n'lis, attorney for the wheat millers; the 'ditor of the 'Modern Miller,' of St. Louis. I suggest calling these men because at the convention of the master bakers in Salt Lake City, last August, Mr. McDonald announced a nationwide move would be inaugu rated at once by the advertising and publicity to educate the public to a ten cent loaf." Sure enough the first announcement to that effect was made by the Schulze Baking company, of Chicago, a short time after the con vention." Rainey declared that the bakers' association was fighting the pending legislation designed to repeal the tax on "mixed" flour which measure, he said, would tend to reduce bread prices. MANNING BOYS JOIN UNITED STATES ARMY Officer Peterson of the United States training camp at Columbus, Ohio, came to Manning last week, and through the assistance of Post master Bradham, secured five re cruits for the army. The boys an swering the call to their country were: Harry Bradham, Dewey Jones, George Sistrunk, Purdy McLeod and Vesper Harris. These patriotic boys have our best wishe^, and we also hope the time will never come when they will have to do actual fighting, but if it does, we venture the asser tion, that our Mann:ng boys will give a good account of themselves. They left yesterday morning for Columbia where they will undergo another examination, and if they pass will leave at once for Columbus. Any others wishing to answer the call of their country, can communi cate wvith Postmaster Bradham, and he will gladly give the information desired.

London, Feb. 14.-In the house of Lords today Admiral Baron Beres ford, drawing attention to the subma rme menace and asking what neas ures had been taken to meet it, said; "We have lost since the beginning of the war 4,000,000 tons of shipping That is a fact which the public should know, but it is not nearly as serious as it appears. We have made up the loss very considerably. Three mil lion tons which have been lost have been more or less adequately filled. "There is not the slightest neces sity for panic. We have done re markably well and shall do a great deal better in future, but we have had time to face it and it is to that time that I desire to call attention." The country, Baron Beresford con tinued, had been informed in August, 1915, that the submanrme menace was well in hand. As far as he could gather it was nearer coming to be well in hand, today, owmg to the new ideas brought to the admiralty by men fresh from the sea, who had had experience in this novel form of warfare and its mysteries. In conclusion Baron Beresford, while acknowledging the submarine menace was serious, said it would not be a fatal menace and he was confident that in six weeks or so the nation would have the submarines re ally in hand. Admiralty Not Talking. The Earl of Lytton, replying for the admiralty, said the government would be glad if it were possible to take the public entirely into its confidence, but that that would involve impart ing information to the enemy, and the admiralty was determined the Ger mans should have that information by experience and no- through ques tions in Parliament. All the expedients suggested by Baron Beresford were being pressed forward with the utmost energy, to gether with many others, he con tinued, even in addition to those men tioned by Earl Curzon on February 1. Every device that human ingen uity could frame was being employed. "We are the police of the entire world and Germany is playing the role of highwaymen," declared Lord Lytton. "We are confident that we can continue in the future as in the past, not merely to supply our armies at the front with munitions and sup plies and carry out our obligations to our allies, but also to keep free certain routes for neutral commerce and obtain necessary supplies for our own people." Expective Counter Measures. Although the new, phase of the sub. marine warfare was only a fortnight. old, Lord Lytton said that the coun ter measures put into effect already had achieved very considerable suc cess and justified conltilce in ex pectations for the future. Lord Curzon adduced a set of fig ures which he Caimed showed that the situation was c less aggravating than might be supposec;. Hie said: "In .July, 191.1, our mercantile ma rne comsisted of 3:,890 vessels inex css of 1,100 tons each, with a gross tonnage of 16,850,000. At. the end of last .January the lecrtease had been only between 5 anal per cent in gross t'oatge.
