Warehouse Commissioner, John L McLaurin,
Receiving Applications from
Various Counties.?May Prove Good
Thing.
The Columbia correspondent of the
News & Courier writing under date of
November 20th, has the following to
say about the developments upder the
provisions of the state cotton warehouse
act passed at the recent special
session of the Legislature:
Applications from various sections
of the State to come in under the
State warehouse system are being received
on c-ery main by State Warehouse
Commissioner John L. McLaurin.
Over two score applications have
already been listed and on this after
noon s mail Mr. McDaurm received an
application from W. T. Hill, of Sharon
in York County, to take over a warehouse
there, of standard construction
and with a capacity of 8,500 bales of
cotton.
Five warehouses in various parts of
the State have already been accepted
and others will be taken over just as
rapidly as practicable.
Commissioner Gratified.
The warehouse commissioner was
gratified yesterday at receiving word
from Dr. Wade Stackhouse that New
York banks regarded the Stati warebouse
receipts more valuable than
those issued by independent storage
companies. The message sent from
Washington read: "I showed your
warehouse receipts to several business
f men in New York. Tho cashier of the
National Park Bank and others told
me that they thought your receipts
would be much more valuable than;
local receipts and they thought it I
would be well worth the extra cost of
getting your receipt." Dr. Stackhouse,
who is president of the South
Carolina Cotton Congress, and head
of a standard warehouse at Dillon,
.took the State warehouse receipt and
^copiesof all blanks along \Vith 'him to
New York for the purpose of submitting
them to capitalists and others.
He wanted to see if it would be worth
the trouble for him to unpack and |
grade his cotton in the Dillon warehouse
in order to meet the requirements
of the State system.
Mr. McLaurin went to his home in
Bennettsville tonight to look after his
private affairs. He will return to the
City on Monday morning.

MAN IN CHARLESTON
ON HARD TIMES
SAYS THEY ARE A MYTH THERE
AS THEY REALLY ARE EVERYWHERE.
' .
IMPROVEMENTS STILL MAKIN6
Hard Times Talk Not Bourn Out by
Business Conditions Says Business
Man.?He Points Out the Proofs of
((Evening Post.)
A man in close touch with the business
conditions in Charleston is emphatic
in his statement that the business
interests of this community have
survived the worst effects of the war
in Europe and arc now embarked
again on an era of prosperity, and it
is his opinion that an era of good
"business" has now set in, the like of
which has seldom been exeperienced
in this section of the country.
The gentleman referred to is not by
any means the only business man in
Charleston who, emerging from the
threatened disaster, which many expected
as a result of the declaration of
war and the stagnation of business in
this country, finds himself in position
to profess an optimistic outlook. A
general census of the opinion of practically
all the merchants and manufacturers
in Charleston would probably
reveal the fact that business is
50 per cent, better now than it was
shortly after the war was declared,
j and better business ill seems inevitable.
Charleston Fortunate.
Charleston has been especially fortunate-,
it is declared, for while many
^ tnwi.g VII*. v UI1U H'l Lllctl
matter throughout tlie country, were
undergoing a period of great depression
and experiencing disastrous stagnation
of business the great improvements
which were taking place here
i when war was declared, have continI
ued to be pushed steadily forward, dei
spite financial conditions. This'meant
good sums of money put into circulation
here, which has probably aided
' conditions more than any other one
1 one thing. *
j It is felt here, according tcy those
| who are in position to know, that the
j Christmas trade of 1914 is coming
i and coming with a rush. The mer|
chants are preparing and prepared to
meet it. They are putting forth evl
erv effort to make' the public .under!
stand that talk of hard times is in a
j
! large measure merely talk. They reai
lize as never before the value of advertising,
and its value in quickening
the pulse of business.
! The window decorations of retail
stores present more attractive display
than ever before, it is declared by
many of the shopping public, and
bright snappy and attractive goods
peep cut at the prospective customer
from every nook and corner of the
stores in the retail district.
The Holiday Influence.
Many believe that the approaching
season of holidays has been in some
measure responsible for the decidedly
"looking up" of business, and others
auriuuu* jt. partly to their belief that
conditions have never been quite sc
"clown in ths niouth" gg imagined by
the pessimistic.
"The depression is over, the uncertainty
is over?the elctions are over
The brakes are off the wheels of progress
* * V stated the gentleman,
who is responsible for the foregoing'
"cheer-up" statements. "And listen
to these numerical facts," he continued.

that cotton has been declared not contraband

shippers to any part of the world direct

at from $400,000,000 to nearly $600,000,000.
"The change in the cotton situation
i means that the stagnation of business
in the South is at an end. The unusual
exports of wheat and other
foodstuffs together with the high pric

GREAT TURKEY REGION.
:
Thanksgiving Bird Flourishes Better In
Southwest Texas Than Elsewhere.
Tin* turkey flourishes in southwest
Texas lis in no other part of the Unitel
States There is an almnilanee *?f
natural food upon which the liirils j
thrive wonderfully. There is no luck
of wide ranges for their foraging, and '
the elimate is so mild that no shelter '
I
is necessary. Hut turkeys were not
raised to any extent in tlmt region until
the two eoUl storage and slaughter* j
lug plants wore c roe tod at Cuoro. Then i
Cuoro became the turkey eontor of the
United States, more dressed turkeys j
bollix shipped out of the town than
from any other place in the country '
I-'rom the 1st of November to the last
of January the plants are in operation
day and night.
The largest turkey drive ever seen
in the United States took place Into j
Cliero when S.unu were herded tiy a j
dealer and driven thirteen miles. It I
look the drovers thirty hours to deliv- j
er the turkeys. The birds took n notion ;
to roost in a grove about four miles 1
from town, and nothing would induce !
them to eontiuue the march to the
slaughtering pens.
When the birds are well behaved and
meet with no strange obstacles on the
road the drovers have no diflieult.v. but
when a turkey drive becomes really
frightened a cattle stampede is a tame
affair in comparison.
The greatest cause of trouble for
the drovers Is the turkey's habit of selecting
its roosting time without regard
to the time of day. particularly if
the sky he overcast and the birds jitm i
pnsslng through 11 wooded stretch of <
road Iti cloudy weather the drovers
carefully avoid the bottom lands and
wooded sections, where the darkness
Is apt to fool the birds Into believing
that the sun is sinking. | <
Detours of miles are sometimes made (
to avoid such conditions. Once Die
birds decide to stop for the night or
day it is impossible to force them to
continue tlie march. Along the most
coimiiwaly used roads for the drives
there are regular roosting places at
convenient Intervals, which the drov*
^ c ilwy.vs try to reach before dusk

An Old Man.
Micajah Weiss, the oldest pensioner
in the United States, died t; short
time ago at his home in Hi aver Creek
Sullivan county, New York, of infirmities
incident to his advanced years.
He was in the 114th year of his age
and was probably the oldest man in
New York. He was born at Dancing
Creek, Monroe county, Pennsylvania,
and was one of a family of nine children.
The early part of his life was
spent along Deleware river in lumber
ing and farming. For fifty years be
was a resident of Beaver Creek, where j
he carried on an extensive lumber j
business. In his rafts-days he would
frequently walk back from Trenton I
to Beaver Creek, more than 100 miles, I
long before railroads were constructed.
He had been known to drive a
four-horse load of vcnsion down Delaware
valley to Trenton. In August,
1862, Mr. Weiss enlisted in a regiment
of Pennsylvania Volunteer infantry
and served until the Close of the war.
Mr. Weiss was not a tetotaler, taking
\ glass of wine or other stimulant.
when he though he needed it. When
\e returned from the fiftieth anniversary
of the battle of Gettysberg in
July, 1913, he stopped off in New
Vork City and visited the late General
Daniel K. Sickels.

GET READY FOR IT.
What about your plans for next
year. Mr. Progrrssivc Parmer? Are
they made? Have you definite,
clear-cut system already outlined uvd
to which you mean to adhere? Above
all, have you agreed with yourself
that next year your cotton acreage'
will he reduced and that y'o\i will give
yourself, your family, yollr stock, and
your land a chance by planting liberally
of food, feed alVd soil-building
crops ?
We want to make this an urgent,
individual appeal to you, for wc believe
that it is only as the individual
grower realizes that all eoHon another
year means ruin that we can hope
to achieve any real txaulis in acreage
reduction. Let's see what the facts
in the case are and then look them
squarely in the face:
1. Cotton is now selling at seven
cents, or from three to three and onehalf
cents a pound below the cost of
production. It is, of course, always
unsafe to attempt to prophesy, but we
Lire only stating a truth when we say
iliat to base our I91f> operations on
( ->y higher price is to court financial
disaster.
2. Undoubtedly the coming season
will see. the almost entire withdrawal
of the credit usually extended to the
cotton grower. 'ihis is merely good
business on the part of the merchant
and banker, for they will see that advancing
money on a crop for which
there may be no market is too danger
ous a risk to take.
3. Corn, oats, hay butter and eggs
?in fact, food, and fecdstuffs of every
kind, because of the vast destruction
wrought in Europe, will be in enormous
demand and at higher average
prices than for years.
With these facts before us, it is
nothing moTC than sound business
sense to plant less cotton another
year. And let us not forget we are
not cutting the cotton acreage to get
a higher price for cotton, but simply
because we can't afford to grow it at
present prices?prices that in all liklihood
will prevail next year,
t Let's not expect the other fellow to
do it, for experience has shown that
he can't be depended upon. Rather
we, you and I, my friend, must do
this think, and prepare for it now.
Otherwise the hard times we are now
experiencing will be doubly, trebly
severe a year from now. For the allcotton
farmer the handwriting is on
'the wall.?Progressive Farmer.
