NEWS OF INTElREST FROiM CAPITAL CITY Much Interest in Conference of Ware housemen to be Held Next Wednes day. Columbia, April 29.--Of more signil canco oven than the meeting of the Democratic county conventions on Monday is the conference of the ware housemen of the State warehouse sys tem on \Vednesday according to the view in political circles, That meeting, in their opinion, has potential possi bilities from a politcal standpoint, and the interest has been whetted by the air of secrecy surrounding the whole affair. For the first time in months Senator John L. McLaurin is refusing to talk in advance of a conference which con tors around the warehouse system. While the call for the conference came through State Senator J. Arthur Banks, of Calhoun county, who is President of the Warehousemen's As sociation, political circles have not lost sight of the figure of Senator Mc Laurin, who is not only the father of the system, but also its faithful guard ian. More than once he has made it known that he is read, to fight any body and anything which opposes the warehouse system and the fact that the call for the 'Wednesday conference declared that a crisis had been reach ed in the life of the warehouse has im Pressed the politicians with former statements made by the warehouse commissioner of his intention to wage warfare on those who get in its way. The possibility of Senator Mclaurin entering the race for governor has been revived in the last few days, but those in touch with him do not for one minute think that events will take this turn. That he has something up his sleeve which wiil at, the proper time be sprung on the public every one believes, but just what. it is can only be speculated on. If hiny one has been trusted with his plans the confidence has been preserved and respected and no Iilut of what is contempldted has been allowed to come out. The insurane situation will have a large bearing on the conference, it. is believed. The tight which resulted in driving the southc-astern Tariff Asso ciation out of the State and the with drawal of the fire insurance companies was given a big impetus, if not act ually cradling it, through the contro versy which arose when the $1.58 rate for insurance on cotton stored in State warehouses was obtained. The history of the struggle before the General As sembly, which culminated in the pas sage of the anti-compact bill, is still recent, and that fight was carried on in the main by the friends of the State' warehouse system. The warehouse men are expected to make known their opinion on the situation which has grisen, and they are also expected to come to some definite opinion regard ing the advisability of the State going into the insurance business, which was advocated by Senator Mlaurin in his letter to Governor Manning suggesting an extra session of the legislature.

Whether they will go to the length of putting out a State ticket remains to be seen, but one thing is well understood and that is that they will organize for a campaign this sum mer with the object of taking tieo warehouse system, the insurance sit uation and the kindred subjects before the people. The warehouapmen confer two days after the Democratic county conven tions and this time has evidently been chosen after mature deliberations. Aside from the warehousemen's con ference, the interest next week will centre around the county conven ference, the Interest next week will centre around the county conven tions of the Democrats which assem ble at each of the forty-five county seats on Monday. The conventions will elect delegates to the State Con vention and reorganize for the coming campaign. Sentiment expressed by the clubs forecast a continuation of the county to county canvass of the clandidates, and delegations instructed to continue the canvass will undoubtedly be sent up from most of the counties. There may be a movement in one or two places to knock out the canvass, but indications are t hat. the overwjhelm ing sentiment of the conventions will be to continue the canvass and that the delegates to the Mtale Convention will be instructed in a great many in stances to this effect. The State Convention will meet in Columbia on Wednesday, May 17, to elect delegates to the National l)emo cralic Convent ion at St., Louis; choose a State chairman, a member of the national Democratic executive commit tee, and reorganize the party ma chinery for the approaching primaries. Governor Manning is a member of the Sn umter ('ouminty Convention, and Solicit or Cooler of the Laurens Con vention. None of the other (uberna toial ennmdidates are memhers of the county conventions. "The little .painphlet, 1'he Voice of the People,' whlch gives the facts in reference to the Administration of Governor Manning, seems to have cre ated a sensation in the State," said O. K. laRouque, private secretary to Gov ernor Manning today. "This pam. phlet was not written by any one man, but was the gathering together of just a few editorial comments and news stories from the press of the State, some of the results accomplished and a few extracts from the governor's message, and was printed in order that the sentiment of the people of the State and the true facts in reference to the great results that have been achieved during the Manning adminis tration might be known. Only 25,000 were printed," said Mr. LaRouque, "and the demand has been so great that I find it. necessary to place an order for 50,000 more. Every mail brings requests for copies of this pan phlet.
