The Manufacturers Rect ord, in its last week's issue, says Bel' \ , ? that the percentage in number of hogs in SouthvCarolina is 120, compared with 100 in 1914, at the same J.-r ** date, September first.

The fellow who boasts of killing a hundred doves in a single day's shooting perhaps does not know that he has violated the State's game laws ?that is if he really bagged that ' v ? number. Which reminds one of the joke about the fellow who boasted to a stranger, that he had killed 150 quail that day. Said the stranger "Guess you don't know who you are talking to. I am the State game warden, and it is against the law to bag more than 25 quail in one day." ? "Yes, sir, and you are talking to the biggest fabricator in the State," re plied the sportsman.

M. McCown this morning; by the E. I. DuPont de Nemours & j Co., of Wilmington, Delaware, give j rise to the question if this big powder company intended establishing a branch factory in South Carolina. The papers filed in the case state that the principal office of the corporation in South Carolina to be "its office at its plant near the Atlantic Coast Lumber Corporation's mills, nt Gpnraretown. S. C." The domestl cation papers are signed by Irnee DuPont, vice president, and were mailed direct from the main office of the company in Wilmington, Delaware, and approved by C. S. Mudge, attorney. The DuPont company has large contracts for the manufacture of war munitions for the allies and the filing I of the papers in this State today attracted a good deal of interest. The statement that their main office would be at their plant at Georgetown apparently confirmed the idea that South Carolina is about to share in some of the tremendous profits which are being made out of the manufacture of munitions of war for the allied nations of Europe. Georgetown is admirably located for such a plant, on deep water and with ample railroad facilities. Confirmation of the purposes of this company in domesticating would be of great interest to the State. The company is capitalized at $240,000,000. COTTON WAREHOUSE LAW. Manning and McLaurin Working Together to Strengthen Law. CnlnmHifl. S. C.. SeDt. 25.?Gover nor Manning and Warehouse Commissioner McLaurin held a lengthy conference in the governor's office a few days ago, discussing the advantages of the State warehouse system and the legislation necessary to perfect the law governing it. * No statement was given out after the conference, but it was learned that both Governor Manning and Commissioner McLaurin are agreed that certain defects in the law should be remedied and that there was a prac- . tically complete agreement between the governor and the warehouse commissioner as to what is best to be done in perfecting this law that means so much to the cotton producing interests of South Carolina. It is likely that Governor Manning and Commissioner v^IcLaurin will hold frequent conferences on this matter before the legislature meets I in January and the results of these conferences will probably be embraced in a message1 from the governor to the legislature' during the early part of the next session. The following editorial from the Yorkville Enquirer of September 21 refers to this subject: "As a result of a conference between Governor Manning and Warehouse Commissioner John L_McLaurin, it develops that Governor Manning is not secretly hostile to the State warehouse system, as was-legitimately deduced from published remarks. recently attributed to him. It is quite clear that if there should be a regulation providing that managers of State warehouses should be absolutely disinterested parties, neither owners of the warehouses nor of the cotton stored therein, there could easily develop a situation very different from that under which all present progress has been ; made. But from the reports of the , conference referred to it appears that the governor is most sincerely so- 1 licitous of developing the warehouse c system along lines that will work to ^ the interest of the producer of the "cotton first, and ?he public general-, * ly second. The conference referred to, we understand, developed that there was practically complete agree- * ment between Mr. McLaurin and Mr. Manning as to what shall be done ^ and the outjook is that such recorp- ^ mendations as the governor shall see s proper to make to the general as- c sembly with regard to improving and r strengthening the warehouse system; * will be made only after complete * agreement between the governor and * the warehouse commissioner." 1 HANNA INQUEST. | Men, Women and Children Hear Pro- ^ i ceedings at Home of Slain Farmer. <-? -l?i n?a. o rr>a, ? ???? 1 spartan uurg, sept. ^o.?me uuiuner's jury today held Cliff Godfrey, 1 a young white man, responsible for 1 the death of Robert Hanna, who was shot down in Godfrey's home Friday morning, near Enoree.
