Columbia, Sept. 28-Hills providing 'or on emergency' warehouse aystem tor storing cotton and state validation it cotton warehouse receipts, prohibit ing tho planting of moro than sigh' acres of cotton to the plow in 1915, | md a bill to submit to tho people at | tho coming general election a pro posed bond Issue of $1,500,000 to place tho tit ale on cash bania and complete the Btato asylum, have been prepared and.will be Introduced simultaneously In the house and senate when the gon oral' assembly meets on Tuesday, of to consider means for relieving the Kay. spent the week end wi?h relatives next week in extraordinary session, criBis now facing tho stato through tho closing of the European cotton markets. These hills were agreed on and j drawn up by Senator John L. Mc Laurin, of Marlboro, and Representa tive W. F. Stevenson, of Chesterfield,! Who will introduce them in their re spective houses. Mr. Stevenson mot Mr: Mr Lauri a in conference at tho lat ter's plantation in Marlboro county, where the bills were put In shape and aro now ready for introduction. At [ that conference tho only ot li or person was W. D. Grist, ?diter ai Tho York Enquirer. The warehouse hill Is an emerg ency measure and provides for the state to tako Over, such warehouses as the .commission thinks feasible for the purpose of storing .cotton. Tho com mission to handle tho measure under ?the bill will consist of the governor, commissioner of agriculture and third member, to be elected by thc legislature. $50,000 is to be appropri ated to put th? measure into 'effect I immediately. Tho state is to validate all warehouse receipts and act as thc agent for the Individual grower to got a loan on this cotton. To this end the I authors point the way to. tho Introduc tion of a banking bill, tho establish ment of a central bank under the na tional banking ?ct by tho state which toould negotiate tho loans for tho In dividual growers of cotton oh thc warehouse receipts, tho money to bc gotten directly from tho government treasury and lent to tbo farmer at as cheap a rate as possible, a little to be charged for commission which would ?o towards the expenses of. the bank. (Tbis would bo tho establishment of a state bank. A measure' which ls now being ?ubatedjby the Texas legfalnturc for' that* state, .The 'w^r'a^ouse^ receipt, is to carry - the absolute title . to the cotton, and 'means have been devised to this end in tho bill without danger io liens which may exist on the cot ton. . ' ' .V1 . The acreage reduction bill would prevent the planting ot more than fifty per cent of that of 1914, and ls based on- the amount of stock used In cult! vating the present crop. It , would al low a maximum ot eight acres of coi ton to tho mule. Heavy penalties arg? attached to any exeess 'which ls made a criminal offense, punished hy a fine of 52.5 for every acre over eight plant ti, or* imprisonment at hard labor. In Survey ls to be made by. the clerk o? court. The .constitutional amendment Cor $1,600,000 bond issue at 4 per cent to place state on cash basis and com pl^tc asylum, is tho idea of Represen caso of a dispute as to the acreage a mt Ivo Stevenson. It ls suggested that fonds arising there fr. could be used temporarily to finance tho warehouse measure and then be replaced. ? Itt Is Also suggested that such bond' money, cOUld bo used for a possible extension pt . tn? payment of taxes. The Ide? of; the authors 0F . wesc measures ls emergency legislation Which they believe, will' enable the ijt?i? to borrow money direct from th federal government through a state ban k to be established by s up pl em en t/Ll legislation, and loan lt direct' tc tho cotton producers at a low, rate of rjaterost They would have tho meas ares to go fnto ??feo Immediately, sc os to afford Instant relief and save the situation now threatening the South. Senatorf McLaurin left tonight for Kow Orl?ansd tc attend the gens Cotton conference. He will be joined ttero by Representative Stevenson abd they with' Dr. Wade H. Stack house, tho. p?&ta#?t of th? 's'toto ?pj?. lon conf?rence, yr?ll go to Austin Texas,- to Urge on Governor Colquitt, and tho Texas l?gislature, the pas sago ot a bill reducing cotton acreage in tho Etat o next sy ear al Wist fifty, per cent' !.

Cathedrals ?viiich have stood (or centuries inspir ing tho people to thoughts of "tho true, he beautiful and tho good," havo been razed by German siege ' guns. No longer will their sweet, silvery chipies ring out in glad acclaim tho hymns which have brought Joy to so many liearts in tho foregone centrles, which leads to some reflection upon the sub let of churches In our own country. There' have hoon almost a revolution In tho construction of church build ings in this country. Once tho high Est steeple was tho admired of all tho unfailing sign of the "biggest" church. Tho history of *t|io church steeple, tho index finger pointing heavenward, is in Itself intorostng and could be dlKcussod at length. But"tho steeple ls hoing discarded. The mar torlal heretofore used In a spire on-a steeple is now used in the construction of elans rooms. In som places tho uso of chucch bells has boen placed, among the things nrchale. What a great pity- It is rurc that church bella annoy, and in cases of extreme illness provision may be made, of course tho church boll is r.ot really, needed in oittcs, t whore members of the congregation may live at ouch n distance that tho , utilitarian purpoBO for which tho bell was created may not bo ? served.
