SENATOR EPFS COMMENDED
By Senator Appelt for Endorsing
McLaurln's Warehouse Plan.
There appeared in Monday's News
and Courier a letter from Senator E
C Epps of Williamsburg on the warehouse
system ana we will later print
it in our columns. Senator Epps is
a business man and is in close contact
with the farming interests, being
a banker with a clientele mainly
among farmers, therefore he knows
the obstacles in the way of their
progress and what they need to put
them on an equal footing with the
other vocations. Senator Epps endorses
the State Warehouse system,
and he gives full credit to Hon John
L McLaurin for its conception, and
he urges the people to stand by the
Warehouse Commissioner againsl
that opposition who would disparage
his efforts because of mercenary and
political motives.
It is refreshing to note the rapid
growth of the warehouse system
since the adjournment of the Legislature.
Business men who are not
wrapped up in political ambition.and
who have no investments in private
warehouses,are daily applying to get
the benefits that Commissioner McLaurin
has been able to secure, and
only recently such men as L D Jennings.
Thomas Wilson and C G Row
land of Sumter,among the strongest
business men in that county, have
turned their large cotton holdings
over to the State-controlled warehouse.
Why? Because they are business
men and pay no heed to the
petty political claptrap of the opposition
to the system. When men o 1
this stamp look into a proposition
and become convinced of its efficacy
and wisdom it is high time for the
opposition to withdraw into a hole
and pull the hole in after them.
Not only are the business men of
Sumter county taking to the warehouse
system, but all over the State
they are waking up to understand
the fallacy of the arguments of those
who would have killed the system,
and,failing to do that, they prevented
the Legislature from giving a
sufficient support to carry out the
plans of the Commissioner, and they
are urging their representatives to
support the institution. It is because
of this need that the Senator from
Williamsburg has had his very exloffor
ntihlishpd in a State
VCI1CUV IWWi ?
wide newspaper to let the people of
the State know that he takes no
stock.in fact, repudiates, the efforts
of petty politicians and the shortsightedness
of private-owned warehouses
in opposing a system conceived
in the brain of a statesman.?

WHITE OAK CHIPS
Picked Up During the Week by
Our Wideawake Scribe.
White Oak, April 5:?The White
Oak school closed last Friday. There
were no special exercises for the
closing. The teachers had planned
an egg hunt for the amusement of
the children, but on account of the
inclement weather it was not held.
However, the children had the pleasure
of eating the eggs. The efficient
teacher,Miss Pauline Cantey.left for
her home at Workman Saturday
morning,accompanied by her father,
Mr D C Cantey.
Mr C W Cox, formerly of this
place, but now of Florence, spent
Sunday here with his parents, Mr
nnd Mrs M M Cox.
Easter Sunday passed off very
quietly here.
The cold weather and snow of last
week have done no material damage
here with the exception of holding
beans and tobacco plants back.

at Mr?Scott's, in the Burrows
neighborhood,last Wednesday night.
All report having had a very nice
time.
Mr S C Eaddy and his younger
brother, Lloyd, spent Easter with
friends and relatives at Cooper.
Mr W D Eaddy had business at
the county seat Saturday.
Mrs G W Ward entertained in
honor of Miss Pauline Cantey last
i Friday evening, regardless of the
inclement weather. Several of the
young people were there and had a
delightful time. Among the guest3
was noted Mr Tom Altman of Cooper.
Early Dew .
Events at Earles.
Earles, March 5:?Easter Sunday
passed off quietly but pleasantly
here. Everybody seemed to enjoy
the day. Rev W H Whaley filled
his regular appointment at Spring
Gully Baptist church Sunday morning.
Hi9 discourse was interesting
and appropriate and his large congregation
thoroughly enjoyed it.
At 3 o'clock Sunday afternoon the
Sunday-school met as usual at Har.
mony church. Half past three o'clock
was Rev W 0 Henderson's hour of
appointment, but on account of his
being ill with smallpox he was unable
to be present.
Mr Joe McCants, who went to an
I
I infirmary at Florence Thursday
, morning for an operation, returned
. home Sunday with the sad intelli,
gence that his case was too far gone
I for any relief to be obtained from
an operation or medical aid. Mr
I McCants is confined to his bed con(
tinually. The writer has been asked
to appeal through your columns for
aid for this afflicted man and his
i family, who are in sore need. Mr
, McCants has a wife and four chil. L
. dren dependent upon him and has 5
not been able to do any work for g
I four months. J
Miss Cammie Thompson and g
her brothers, Messrs Harold and jjj
. Alfred, who are attending school at ?
, Kingstree, spent Saturday and Sun- ?
j day here with their parents. J;
Mr and Mrs Oscar Thompson, of J
the Bryan section, spent Easter Sun- |
, day with relatives here. S
Mr Pearl Camlin of Georgetown J
f visited his parents, Mr and Mrs W R |
t Camlin, here Sunday. J
Several of the farmers in this sec- J
, tion are through planting corn and jjj
, are very uneasy for fear of having ?
to plant over on account of the cold ?
> wpjit.hpr.
Tobacco planters also are worried ^
, about their tobacco beds, some of
which are looking "sick." ?
It looked kind of strange to see ji
the ladies out on Easter Sunday g
morning wearing walking coats and ?
wraps. H A C.

Venters, April 5:?Miss Mary Du- I
, bose of Kingstree is visiting her I
cousins, Misses Ola and Marena I
Springs. I
Miss Blanche Mercer, who has I
1 been spending some time with her I
8ister,Mrs W T Lee.returned yester- I
day to her home at Sampit. I
On account of the inclement weath- I
er Friday night, the play,"Uncle Jo- I

French Fishing Ship Torpedoed. I
Fecamp, France, April 3:?The I
three-masted fishing vessel Paquer- I
ette of Fecamp was sunk this after- I
noon by a German submarine off I
Etretat, nine miles southwest of Fe- I
camp. The crew was rescued. The I
Paquerette had just sailed for the I
Newfoundland fishing banks with 32 B
men. Nine other vessels belonging fl
to the same company had preceded I
her but apparently safely passed tne =
danger zone. 1
ENDORSED AT HOME. J
Sucb Proof as This Should Convince 11
Any KIngstree Citizen. V
The public endorsement of a local
citizen is the best proof that can be *\
produced. None better, none strong- D
er can be had. When a man comes
forward and testifies to his fellowcitizens,
addresses his friends and R
neighbors, you may be sure he is "
thoroughly convinced or he would 21
not do so. Telling one's experience J1'
when it is for the public good is an r
act of kindness that should be appredated.
The following statement
given by a resident of Kingstree
adds one more to the many cases of
Home Endorsement which are being W
published about Doan's Kidney Pills. t
Read it:
W K Mcintosh, prop tobacco ware- 4house,
Main street, Kingstree, says:
"Several yea^s ago my kidneys were
disordered, and I suffered from dull
pains in the small of my back. I
was sore and lame and had headaches
and dizzy spells. I tried different
medicines, but without sue- j
cess, until friends recommended
Doan's Kidney Pills. They cured me.
