GOfnmEr.GiAL INTERESTS'
_ ADVISED BY CHAMBER;
mm | V
COMING FROM WILMINGTON i
WHERE MOST OF THE COT- !
TON OF LARGE TERRITORY \
EITHER SOLD"1R STORED :
_ <
\
Here is the Recommendation of the ^
Wilmington, North Carolina Chant- |
her of Commerce, and it is licing
Mailed Itroadcast to Farmers.
The following; letter to the Agricultural
and Commercial Interests of ,
the South has just been issued by the
Wilmington Chamber of Commerce:
To the Agricultural and Commercial j ,
Interests of the South: |
"While the situation growing out of
the European war is entirely without
precedent in the experience of this j
country, and is of very grave character,
the condition is by no means desperate
provided intelligent co-operation
of the commercial interests of
the South can he brought about. i The
general government has met
the situation promptly and effective-!
ly as far as i s powers extend, and in
liberalizing the currency law has put
:.ot the command of commerce banking
facilities adequate for all legiti- !
mate demands, and nothing further
can or should be expected of the government
in the way of financial re j,
lief.
Storage Facilities Necessary
The situation has now assumed j
such shape that the obligation is up- '
on the Southern agricultural and commercial
interests to work cut practical
means for utilizing the facilities 1
made available* by the governmental
action; and while the amended cur- j
rency law does ~iot extend the right to
a state bank or trust company to directly
procure currency from the government,
these institutions can readily
avail themselves of the enlarged
financial facilities through their national
bank correspondents, so that indirectly
relief can reach the smallest
centers served by banking facilities.
To avail to the fullest extent of the
facilities at our disposal it is absolutely
necessary that storage accommodations
be provided, and the more '
widely distributed the accumulation
of stocks the greater the facility for :
carrying and the less the influence on
price.
Plan for Securing Them.
To this end we con Adently recommend
action along the following lines:
First. That every town in the cotton
section, through community effort,
establish warehouses adequate
to safely store one-half cf the crop
normally ma ?lref-o<l at such and '
that frame buildings designed for this 1
purpose oe coverea with metal so as j 1
to increase protection and reduce in- i
suranee rates.
Second. That the citizens of a town ?
establishing a warehouse, organize a ; (
warehouse company for the purpose j
of issuing authoritative receipts for t
stored cotton, to be used as a basis ! 1
of credit with the local banks. 1
Third. That the local banks make
liberal advances on cotton so stored
and protected, and use their national y
bank correspondents freely for re- (
discounts?thus making it possible to f
limit offerings to commercial demand.
? r
Co-operation Necessary. "
It is manifestly impossible, even
though the means were immediately
available, to construct elaborate and ^
F
permanent brick warehouses in time
to meet the present emergency, but 4
this limitation only accentuates the
necessity for utilizing every possible v
resource, and frame structures prop- ^
erly protected by metal covering ^
could probably be made to provide
temporary relief. Moreover, many
localities would doubtless find it
practicable to convert large buildings [
into storage space, and it is believed \\
possible, with prompt and energetic v
action, to provide storage facilities t
of the character indicated in time to
prevent a serious decline in the price
of cotton. V
This is a matter that concerns ev- tl
ery citizen of the South, and efforts b
to provide the necessary means for tl
protecting our great staple should C
.find a ready response from all classes I
without regard to vocation.
The situation challenges the intel- t
ligence and loyalty of the South. a
Respectfully, n
Wilmington Chamber of Commerce. C
August 18, 1914. g
The above was received at the Her- h
aid office in printed form. It was accompanied
by the following typewritten
letter, and it will help to explain k
the situation: P
Wilmington, N. C., Aug. 20, 1914. P
Managing Editor, t'
Horry Herald,
Conway, S. C.,
Dear Sir:? ^
Please find herewith a copy ot the
""Taylor Cotton Plan" which we believe
presents a feasible solution of t.l
the present cotton handling problem, K
brought about by the European trou- J
ble, and which we have no doubt will g|
>o of great interest to your section. |
The plan has been heartily approv- I
'<1 by bankers and merchants in this
oot'on, who believe it to be the onl>
jractical means of dealing with the
situation.
It occurred to us that you would
ike to have a copy of these rcsolu.ions.
Since great interest is being
lisplayed in the matter we believe
ihat the business men and farmers in
i'our commuity woul 1 be pleased tc
*et all the information possible on the
subject. These resolutions were pre
parol after the writer, Mr. J. A. Taylor,
attended the Southern Cotton Con
gress in Washington and gleaned
from the many talks and ideas ad
vanced on the subject the actual need*
of the South to meet the critical situation.
We trust that you will give this
space in your valuable publication and
would be pleased to have you favor us
with a marked copy.
Appreciating your interest, I remain.
Yours very truly,
H. B. Branch, Secy.
BLACK BEAR SLAIN.
The First Bear Ever Trapped Alive
in That Section of Our State.
After escaping traps and huntsmen
for many months , during which shewrought
havoc with hogs and live
stock of the farmers of the vicinity, a
large black bear was killed Sunday
morning near the residence of Mr.
deorge E. Fort, of Awendaw, near
Charleston The bear was a female
standing six feet high and weighing
300 pounds, was first caught in a trap
and was dispatched with a bullet from
a gun in the hands of John Fort. The
story of the capture and killing of the
animal was related by Mr. Abe Silverman,
of Awendaw, who was a visitor
at the home of Mr. Fort on the occasion.
This is said to have been the first
bear ever trapped alive in that immed
iate section, and the news of the capture
created no small amount of interest
among the residents of that
section.

Last week when Mayor L. i). Jcr
nings of Sumter was refused a deceiv
hearing at the campaign meeting in
Georgetown, some of the people who
read the reports were surprised that
this could have been so when the
Mayor of Georgetown, W. H. Andrews,
and his big Chief of Police,
were on the speakers' stand. Lust
.. I.i.1 ~ !J.J 1 ' . ?
witr ii inter wits written uy a CiUZCll
of Georgetown to the Columbia Rccorcl,
and it explains pretty fully the
situation there in relation to politics.
Following is the letter, and wc believe
it is true:
"My attention having been called to
your editorial in yesterday's issue cf
The Record, I am writing to congratulate
your paper upon the pertinent
comments contained therein. Had you
oce i more familiar with the conditions
in Georgetown county you would
not have been surprised at the disgraceful
occurrence of the mayor of
one town allowing the mayor of another
town to be harassed and insult
ed while the chief of police sat nearby
enjoying the spectacle. Those who are
familiar with the history of politics
in Georgetown will tell you L.at before
the Atlantic Coast Lumber Corporation
commenced operating therv
was no bitter factionalism between
white men in the county; that this
commenced when the employes of the
Atlantic Coast Lumber Corporation,
incited and led by W. H. Andrews,
(a northwestern Yankee), and Dr.
Olin Sawyer (who is ostensibly a surtreon
for t\1ir? rnvnni'tifinn Ki-if ?% ?
0 ...V vviJ/vlllbJUII) l^civ iil I C?ll"
ity spends much of his time in inciting
its employes to vote against every
thing which is right and decent), attempted
to carry the municipal and
! county elections.
"It is only fair to the good people
of Georgetown to point out that not
one of the officers of the Corporation
and not one of their political leaders
is a native son.
"But for unfair means it is probable
that no election could have been carried
by them. Practically every ma a
employed by them must vote as dietated
by Sawyer and Andrews or lose
uis position.
"In more than one instance men
who dared to vote according to the
dictates of their consciences have
been discharged. On one occasion a
citizen of Georgetown went to the
polling precinct at Andrews to see
that no fraudulent votes were cast
and for his pains was knocked down
choked and had his finger bitten to
the bone, by W. H. Andrews. Similar
hieh-hnrwlfwl nrwl ime/.vnrmUiin ,^4.~
--o- ~ .. ...... v? i ft .o'w i itCLft 1
have characterized the politics of the
Sawyer and Andrews ring.
"For instance at the recent Democratic
club meeting in Georgetown,
C. G. Barr, a young attorney, snatched
the club roll from the secretary
and was immediately surrounded by i
a number of Atlantic Coast Lumber
henchmen, chief among whom was
the chief of police, Bolick.
"When the readers of the Record
realize that a powerful corporation in
Georgetown votes its employes like
cattle, that there is nothing too unfair
or dishonest for its leaders to resort
to, they will then not hold the
residents of the town responsible for
the blackguardism perpertated by the
Sawyer-Andrews faction and their
hirelings." "Justice."

CALOMEL MAY HURT
YOUR LIVER.
Every time you take this powerful
rlrug you are in danger. Take Dodson's
Liver Tone instead. Calomel "'s
made from mercury, and while mercury
has many valuable uses, it is a
dangerous thing to swallow. If calomel
stays in the svstem very long it
:*;livatcs. Even when it works naturally,
its after effects a?'e often bad.
Conway Drug Co., will sell you Dod
son's Liver Tone, which is positively
guuruntcea to take the place of calomel.
I.iver Tone stimulates the liver
just enough to start it working, and
does not make you sicker than ever
?as calomel often does. You feel
good after taking Dodson's and it
won't force you to stop eating or
working after taking it. It is as beneficial
for children as for adults.
Try a large bottle for fifty cents

will be given back cheerfully if you're

Making Preparations.
Last week saw no great battle ir.
the international conflict going on
among the seven or eight nations oi
Europe. For more than a week the
world at large had been expecting to
hear news of a decisive conflict. It
is true that all messages coming to
this country have to pass through the
hands of a strict censorship. The
| countries at war are evidently supJ
pressing the news. Much of the sup
posed reliable news sifting its way
through to this country, has been un
dersiood all along to be somewhat unreliable.
Everything word of news
that is printed in American newspapers
has to pass the close scrutiny of
officials.
Associated press dispatches the latter
part of last week stated that:
"The most formidable shock in history"
will occur on Belgian soil, ac1
cording to French military experts,
when the great armies of Germans
: and Austrians on the one side and the
i allied troops of Belgium, France and
Great Britain on the other should
con., into close conflict. No definite
information as to the place where the
decisive encounter was to occur was
permitted to pass the censor, but the
general staff of the French army declared
itself confident of fighting under
the best auspices for its o\\i;
forces. *"1 ' " ~'

made by an advance guard of German

was to be followed by a strong column

Belgians retired was understood to be

About Certificate.
Since the matter of the recent interview
between Mr. W. R. Richey of
Laurens, and Dr. James H. Mcintosh
of Columbia, has been mentioned in
some of the newspapers and on the
stump, the letter of Dr.. Mcintosh to
Mr. Richey is given here in full:
Newberry, S. C., August 8, 1914.
Mr. W. R. Richey, Laurens, S. C.
Dear Sir: When you requested an
interview with me, stating that you
wished to refresh my memory as to
certain matters pertaining to the
controversy over the rertifi^tifo

to the interview.
After hearing your earnest prepresentation
of the matter, and also
your statement that you were resting
under an imputation that was humiliating
to you and to your family, I
have carefully tried to recall all the
the circumstances surrounding the
transaction, and after mature reflection
I am still convinced that I did
not sign the certificate which was
read at the Abbeville and Columbia
meetings.
It is due you for me to say that,
after hearing your statement and the
data presented by you, that I believe
that you thought the signature genuine
and that you acted under that
belief.
