To the Editor of the State: The following correspondence is self explanatory, and I am giving it to the public on accou nt of its importance. so as to ena ble the members of the legisla ture to study the subject at their leisure to the end that the bill may be amended and perfected so as to combine the best wis dom of the general assembly of South Carolina. D. McQueen Dunbar, S.-C, CES Don: response to your nest tod a bill embodying e principle of"State violatio.'. as practiced . ouisia nf close you one dely put together. but wi the polish which onJegislative consider ation can give, it will afford a working busis. Conditions here er from Louisiana. We have much better in or warehouse system which not be sacrificed but used. 2. New Orleans is 122 miles p the river, with deep water and easy access to the very heart of the cotton belt 3. The system in Louisiana is the evolution from city to state control after several years' ,.,trial by the former. Ei complying with your re ' est, I bear these differences in ind and also the fact that you bre to act with amendment to the constitution. Curtailment of acreage is alright, certainly to the extent of each farm rais ing its own supplies, but after I- 'aid and done, God made this a cotton country and a cot ton country it will remtin to the end. SAME CONDITION Suppose we-cut acreage and neit year dump 10,000,000 or 12,000,000 bales on the market before November 15, conditions will not be so widely different from what they are now,so far * as actual resultajareconcerned. v- The pr crop, at an aver 'cents a pound, is in of the needs of the world. In the fall of 1908, with a crop of 13,600,000 bales, cotton fell to 9 cents aispound, and in July and August it went to 16 cents. With experience like this, it be hooves us to exercise our brains and use our money to prevent a similar raid. Cotton is made on credit, and the bulk of itmust be sold be fore November 15, be'cause there is no adequate machinery for fi nance and storage.. It is an unequal contest be tween ignorance and numbers on one side and organized wealth and expert financial stratear 0 the other. Wkg aoId we~ invoke the poweig" kte goyernment~ These are n -Nr strange times, and nowever reluctant we may to employ the func tions of -overnment outside of the tr ditional lines to which are accustomed. in self de nse much is justifiable, and erything excusable. Yours truly, John L. McLaurin. n. Don McQueen, ar, S. C. sTHE BILL An Act'.to Create and Operate a State Warehouse System for Storing Cotton. 1. Be it enacted by the Gen eral Assembly of the State of South Carolina, that there shall be elected forthwith by the gen eral assembly, three commission ers, who shalLconstitute a ooard to be hereafter known as the State warehouse commission. The term of office shall be for two, four and six years, the members of the board deciding by lot the respective terms of each. 2. The chairman of the board thus created shall be designated by the general assembly at the time of the election provided for in section one of this act. 3. It shall be the duty of the State warehouse commission to provlde a warehouse at the most eligible site in the State, capable1 of storing not less than 150,000 bales of cotton, and the commis sion is hereby given power, and aim to employ clerkts, ar The Declaraion of 1860 A few days ago the Ne York Herald printed a sketch i Col. Robert Anderson Thom son, of Walhalla, the sole sury vor of the South Carolina "S cession convention," accomp; nying it with an excellent pi ture of that fine old warrior at citizen. In the course of the sketc these expressions occur: "Col.'Thompson is eighty-fil years old, but one would ni think it to look at him. He h the appearance of a soldier hari lI ripe for retirement. Had tl outcobie of the great war i which he fought been differen his name 'Might have been er blazoned in the memory of h countrymen as gloriously as he had signed the Declaration Independence." The Herald perhaps does ni know that on a tablet In ti tate HoJi here in Columbit thie names of the sigznrs of ti declaration of independence < 1860 are"blazoned." In Sout Carolina success is not yet b come the test upon which res1 the right of men to be reverE by their countrymen.-The Stai chitects and engineers and ado rules and regulations not contri ry to the provisions herein s< forth, which, in their judgmen re necessary to carry out ti intent and purpose of this ac TO APPOINT MANAGER 4.

The board of commissior rs shall appoint an expert co ton grader whose compensatic shall be fixed by the board an the said cotton grader shall t subject to removal by the boar >f commissioners whenever, i their judgment, the public inte: st demands it. 6. The State warehouse con mission are empowered to a< iuire such property as they ma deerh necessary to carry out ti purposes of this act, such prol rty may be acquired by lease purchase or condemnation pr< ceedings, as in other cases whe: private property is taken f< public use. 7. All lint cotton proper baled shall be received for stol age at the State warehouse, an the charges for same shall I fixed by' the State warehojus ommission. Each bale of cotton shall 1 graded, weighed and numbere so as to be identified at all time he grades to be according 1 Ahe standard grades adopted b fhe United States governmen The person depositing the coi ton shall be given a receipt fro] the State of South Carolin signed by the manager of th tate warehouse, which recel shall give the number grade an weight of each bale.

BONDS PROPOSED 8. The State warehouse con mission is empowered to issu bonds, payable 30 years fror date, and such bonds are hereb reated a lien, on all of the vez estate acquired under this a< by the State warehouse commit sion. The said bonds not bein in any sense a debt or obligatio af the State of ~ South Caroline but a specific lien on such war< ouse property, 9. In fixing the charges f< handling and storing cotton i commission shall in additioni a sinking fund as provided fi in section 8 also provide a sin] ig fund for the retirement< the amount advanced by th State, in fifty years. 10. The charges on cotto shall also after the sydasmb er in provided for has been in ope ation two years, cover- all cu rent operating expenses, it bein the intention of this act to rnals the system self--sustaining. 11. The warehouse comni: sion shall have power to acquil by lease any standard built co ton warehouse in the sever; $500,000 DOLLA. Wr w Gleaner Discusses in a Fce, l.. Manner Cost of Schods ::, e- School Books C- Yes, that is the estimait,' Ld the cost to change the sec books, -nd a howl has gon Mt h against the State Boird of El ucation for making it. It is heavy cost on the people, but ii appears to me, let come what s will, the cost seems to he lizht in comparison. with some othel ie expenditures of our State anid county government. There is extravagance in many things. No doubt, in my mind, the is -State board was honest iii its de if cision and thought the new books best, and for that reason made the change, not summing >t up the cost of a-half millioi dol e lars to the State. In a - eceI ' report the average cost to each e child of school age, as I remei ber it, was stated to be about fif h ty-three cents. To look at it that way, it does not appear so ts burdensome. You can see, by d the report of Supt. Swearingen, J that 235,029 is the school atten dance in the State, of which >t 160,830 are white, 97,239 in the . rural schools, and 63,501 in the town and city schools. In av , eraging, the amount to whites Le (town and country) is $12.62. t. Two-fifths of the attendance is in towns paying, no doubt, more than twice the amount of i he country. The report of Pickens county. published not long since in The Sentinel, shows that each d white student in this county re ceived $5.43. It is a fact thi in this county and all the St: half the schools have special lev . ies. The extra levy will rais more than half the constitut ion . al 3-mill levy in this counti. t- and very likely this is true ol the whole State. If so. we ca o d count that in our county i1 would average about S2.90 ,d each child. To ma .e the s. reduction for the State. !vin r the schools to be run by tu-- y visions made bythe State, y can see at a glance ihat the r-1 ral schools for the 97,2.39 ci dren would not be more t han ehalf million dollars. Now, sum up the cost of our State colleges for white students and you will see that the annu al appropriations amount to a >half million dollars, and that at these colleges the enrollmenlt will be about 2,500, with a four years cod~rse, at a cost of two d million dollars. eI am told that, with this enor emous expenditure by the State to maintain these colleges, it e costs as much to send a boy or d girl to one of them as to any other good college; and the claim has been made by men high in authority that students are no better prepared to fill positions or to enter upon the duties of nlife than those of other colleges. And the end is not yet. The etendency is to build greater with heavier appropriations every d year. Just how long the people twill endure this, I cannot tell. . Supt. Swearingen's report n shows that all the revenue for le whites, in town and county, is e$1,818,678, with the assurance that more than one-third of this amount was raised by extra levy, leaving a fraction over a million dollars for all schools. Now, to allow the State colleges i-to have one-fourth that amount Le is a hard pull, wheni the farm n ers, who constitute the rural y schools, are given a mere pit l tance, and are taxed on their t fertilizers, too. This fertilizer 3- tax rais'es about three-fif ths of g the amount that is requiretd L n run the State colleges, and :a 1, unjust. s- It is true that these are--, schools, but in S.>ui C J r we have too tiany, a n i te are costing too mucn. A k> the good colleges a nd r schools over the State., - - well afford to do with ie f State colleges, run on je-Ss mi n ie ey, and increase the re vetn- - the rural schools.

FIRE IN CAPITAL re Worse Conflagration Since City to Was Burned by Sherman Losses and Insurance 1 e Columbia, January 5.-The n worst fire since Sherman burned Columbia was experienced here is this morning, when fire destroy 0 ed practically an entire block in the wholesale district and in t flicted a loss estimated at not over $250,000. For a time the t s, whole section wa s threatened. t For over three hours the firemen a e made desperate efforts to check q d the raging flames, but this was P not accomplished until the lf greater part of the buildings in 0 r the block had been consumed. e A steady wind from the west, Y blowing low on the ground, sent P e the flames and sparks in every 1 direction and for a time over- a came the desperate attempts s n the fire fighters were making to e confine the conflagation. The f steady gale from the west car 's ried the- sparks in every direc o tion and many tenant houses and stabks, as well as ware houses and lesser buildings, in t the rear of the wholesale dis- 0 e trict, were ignited and some of c them were burned. a While this fire was at it- t s heighth the residence of Dr. W. e C. MeNlillan, behind the State b House on Main Street, caught s on fire, but the flames were ex- 1i t tinguished with little difficulty. n While the people were all hurry- a s ing to the scene of the conflaga- e tion, and it is estimated that over 5,000 people viewed the t t scene, a small boy on Main a I street was run over and serious- a s ly damaged by an automobile f I hurrying to the fire. He was ] taken to .A iocal hzx'it1 and f given attention. His name was not learned. a e Many scenes. some ludicrous s e and otherwise, were witnessed . while the fire was at its heighth e A man's clo.hes caught and the hose was turned on him at once, - promptly extinguishing th cloth ing, i ut drenching the man. ISeveral times the hose would a f burst and people standing near e by would literally be "soaked," r 2 A cold wind, blowing while the fire raged, added to the dis a comfort of the people who flock . ed from all sides to view the un f usual scene. Powe Held by Six Men. a -What could the six richest 1 men in the world accomplish 1with there vast -wealth such b men as Jno. D. Rockefeller, J. Pierpont Morgan, Astor. Lord Strathcona, Andrew Carnegie i and Lord Rochschild? It was Scalculated that between them c thov own 5,000,000,000. What might they do with such a sum if they combined forces? What rthings could they not -achieve rwith $.5,000,000,000? Suppose c they were aggressive and in-0 inclined 'to wage war. They scould put 1,000,000 men in the fi:ld and maintain them for ten years, prehaps for twenty years.g The American Revolutionary war cost $700,000,000. The war I with Napoleon from 1790 to 1815 V cost Great Briton $3,250,000,000. c -The Crimean war cost $150,000,- ~ S000 for two years. Thu South l9 t African war cost England $1, -250,000,000. The rich sextet i Scould have borne the costliest of the wars and had a good sum over. 3 If the turned their attention e to the sea the could, with half r 'their capital, have built a fleet ~ that would be unique, overpow- e - ering, irresistable. The biggest ( -fleet in the world-that of Great t i Britian-could probably be du- d . plicated f o r $1.000,000,000. 3Again these invincible six could give $100 each to every man, ewoman and child in the British s Isles. They could run the Unit r ed Kingdom for six years ande -longer, pay the total amou'nt of f its expenses and remit every- a thing to the taxpayer. They could close the custom r house and allow every one to t send letters and t~elegrams free.S tThey could buy up all the Eng- ~ tlish railroads with their rolling s stock and buildings. They could buy all the automobiles 4 in the world and then have enough left over t') purchase the Panama and Suez canals, and af ter that suflicient to b iy up athe value of British shipping for S t ten years. And if Carnegie 2 -could rersuade his five friends a . to come in with him on a land i deal they could buy up Scotland,. for the assessed value of taat. - country's real- estate is only $4,- C 650,000,000. 1 The Man Who Buys Seed G To the man who has to b seed corn, we wish here to ma two suggestions: The first bhat he should not expect toj real good see corn for the prii )r twice the price of feed coi rood seed corn costs money )roduce and must be. paid ft [he second suggestion is. th il seed corn be bought on t: ar. There is no other way f he buyer to know what he ,etting.

Of course, e: ress and freight charges wi e a little higher on a bushel < ar corn than on a bushel < Eelled corn, but this is a sma latter compared to the diffe: ace between good seed corn an oor.-The Progressive Farme How to Control the Trusts We should have legislatic :at will as sureiy prevent or rporation from injurying < ealing unfairly with anoth( s the laws already secure i de case of individuals.
