Atatement to the Public, Columbia, Nov. 21.--John L. Mc Laurin, State warehouse comimssion er,'in a statement to the people of South Carolina today asking for co operation in inaugurating the State cotton storage sytem says that he will not take a cent of the salary allowed him under the Act and only asks for his expenses. Mc. McLaurin has com pleted the machinery and is now busy putting the system into operation. The commissioner promises to give in a later statement something of the results of his efforts towards making the warehouse receipts liqu'd collat era!, saying, "I hope to have- some information later as to the use of State warehouse receipts as a collateral, 1)ut do not wish to make a statement until I can speak advisedly." His statement it is believed, will prove of great in terest, especially to the farmers and the merchants. The interest taken In the' warehouse system is reflected in the great number of letters which reach Senator McLaurin on every mail from all parts of the State. The statement of Warehouse Com missioner MeLaurin says: "Columbia, S. C., November .20, 191 . "To the People of South Carolina: I have completed the machinery to put the State warehouse system into operation. Application blanks may be had from this office, also the form of contract. Under the Act I can only pay rent after all operating expeiises are met; consequently, I am forced to) take the warehouses that' are otfored at a nominal rent, and require thu owners to pay all chagres and exz penses, including 3 cents per hale per month to the State, to meet the cost of postage, telegrams, express, travel ling expenses, printing the reaeipts, tags and other blanks. I find that the charge does not cover tle cot, but I wfll use the appropriation as far as it %ill go, and submit the matter to the next General Assembly. I do not ex pect to use a cent of the salary given me, unless there is a further appro priation, as all the money will be need ed to continue the acceptance of ware houses. I only want my actual ex penses, and no receipts will come in until cotton is -taken out, which may be a year, while insurance, etc., is Iaid in advance. "I hope to have some informattion later as to the use of State warehouse receipts as a collateral, but do not wish to make a statement until I can speak advisedly. !Dr. Wade Stackhiwite subimtted the receipts to certain capi talists in New York, and his ieport -was that the State receipt would b preferred by them to that of any pri. vate or corporate receipt for- cotton on storage. "This is a new departur ein both finance and government. It will take time and patience to inaugurate it, and I especially nak the farmers of this State to give me their confidence and support. .Don't expect miracles. I am not 'a mirale maon,' as one of the newsp~apers intimates, nor the muan who 'found a shoe string and built a factory.' "I notice in the morning paper of today a decision by Associate Justice Gage, wvhich further emiphasizes the decree in the wvarehouse.case of 1912. No jurist has in clearer language set forth the principles upon which such legislation as the South~ Carolina, Louisiana amid Texas WVarehouse Acts are bas'ed. Judge Gage says: "'Cotton, and that includes its seed, is the staple product of th~e State and of the South; in this year of grace the frightful collapse of its price, incident to a well-nigh universal war, has shocked two continents; the whole policy of the State is bound up in the growing, the sale and the manufacture of cotton.' "The individual cotton grower is powerless to protect himself. If we can unite the units we can control the situation. Co-operation spells success. We will never got this except through our State Legislatures. If our exp~eri meat fails, then no other State will try it. 'I am only meeting such opposition as I expected. I am depending on my fellow farmers--not those whose in terests are against us. Some of the newspapers have been liberal and fair. while some have been harsh and un just. Try to sift out the truth. If you do not let your mind be poisoned by insidious methods of belittling me for the purpose of destroying a mecas.. utre which will be of inestimable bene fit to you and your children's children. "I accepted unsought the tremendous responsibility, and if my healthu holds out I will see it through. To sell cot ton at present prices is practically the confiscation of fifty millions dollars of property belonging to you. The State is attempting to aid you. It is not only a function, but it Is the duty of a government to protect 4itizens in their Droperty rights as wel as in life and4 liberty Thea.eatvoa of Junge Gage is a splendid Onunciation of this -principle. I wishisome case would oc our'giving him'en opportunity to de fine with the .satne clear insight; just' What the COnstitUtion -means -by pro te'etini a citizen in- the -ownership of property. Does it include the use of that property, or does it moan merely physical possession? If restricted to mere physical possession,. then the constitutional guarantee is a hollow mockery, -for combinations of capital can confiscate the profits and thereby deprive me of my property by destroy ing Its use. "All of these questions must be fi nally adjudicated in the Courts of the land. I feel that this world-wide war is the end of one epoch and the be ginning of 4 new one in the science of government and finance. The ulti mate aim of a true democracy is to give to each individual his just rights and no more. This must involve an equitable division of the burdens of organized society, as well as the bene fits. "A situation like the present offers a fertile field for money and power to fatten at the expense of weeknese and poverty. The farmers cannot bear without destruction, the entire burden of this situation. It must be distrib uted over the entire body politic, and there is no force strong enough to cdrb money and its power, save or ganized government. This is the logi cal sequence of the statement, 'the whole policy of the State is bound up in the growing, the sale and the man ufacture of cotton.' "What a grand conception of gov ernment it is, to stand strong; curbing human greed and protecting human weakness. Do not be deceived; the entire world is deeply interested in getting your cotton at the lowest pos sible price. They intend you to shoulder the entire loss on- this crop, and yet you make another one if you' can. The more cotton you make, the less you get. If one-half of the cotton crop were destroyed, the portion left would sell for more than the whole. Why is it that as soon as Liverpool and New York settled their straddle contracts that the Exchange opened?. They are knocking the price down every day. Why does not the Stock Exchange open? Because it would lower the price of -stocks and bonds. These are held by capitalists, while cotton is held by the Southern farmer. These capitalists wish to use high priced stocks, through the regional re serve system, to get money to buy 6 cent cotton in the South. Cotton in Europe is now worth 20 cents per pound. If they can get your cotton at 6 cents, they will make the biggest 'killing' ever seen. Any government thaf will stand for such infamy and not hold out a protecting hand to the producers is unworthy the support oh an honest man. "If I had.,the-warehouse system that I pleaded: with -the .Legilature for one year ago, I would be.opening up direct trade with Manchester -and establish ing a stable price for cotlon. "The only remedy is to warehouse your cotton, .and ge money on the receipts to ease Up~your creditors. If you will plant grain, raise .stock and produce tie cotton~ in :1915, 7you will get the benefit of war prices later." --News- and Courier.' A W ARNING I'0 MAN-Y Some Interesting. Facts About-lIiney Trouble.. Few people realize to what extent their health-depends upon the condi tion of the kidneys. The physician in nearly all cases of serious illness, makes a chemical anal ysis of the patient's urine. He knows that unless the kidneys are doing their work properly, the other organs can.. not readily be brought back to health~ and strength. When the kidneys are neglected or abused in any way, serious results are spre to follow. According to health statistics, Brighit's disease which is really an advanced form of kidney trouble, caused nearly ten thousand deaths in 1913, in the 'state of.- Ne w York alone. Therefore, it b ooves us to pay more attention to e health of these most important gans.
