J < fa*.' it . the terrible cloud of anxiety and the threatening disaster which then depressed and confused the public mind. The European war which had burst forth so unexpectedly and so 3uddenly completely shocked the earth, and the boast of the world's civilization crumbled; doctrinal influences of Christianity vanished and the business affairs of inter-national commerce became paralysed with dreadful apprehension. The financial interests of America, after a momentary pause, began to 3ectionalize. Wall Street squawked, and immediately the community interests of the great East, North and West ran to cover. Organized, trained and prepared to meet emergencies, these sections converted what at first seomed to them to be certain disaster and calamity into a harvest of wealth and a condition of lasting benefit. But the South! This great section which stands first in the annals of American history and which is destined to preserve individual freedom, and ever ready to defend the ?reat principle of national liberty md the nation's honor, floundered n chaos and confusion, while her prosperity wilted and disappeared ike dew before the morning's sun. [ts great product which should lave brought luxury and a bed of ?ase to her people proved only to pe a burden of poverty and a mill stone of depression. The reason for the difference be;ween the effects of the war in the Morth. East and West, and the ef'ects of the war in the South, is plainly that of a preparedness on he one hand and a lack of preparedness on the other hand. Twelve months have passed since he first shock of the war was felt; he record crop of cotton in 1914 las been practically consumed, and he lie has been given to the Bear md the Critic, who deluded the public mind with the erroneous idea hat the industrious South had foolshly produced more than a world's upply. Realizing that the agricultural >eople were approaching a great risis, which then threatened not inly their welfare but the interests if the entire people of the State, Jouth Carolina led out, as she usualy does, and provided a remedy for he purpose of meeting the emergency. The task was great, the process tedious and the hindrances mormous. Yet out of it all, has ieveloped a system which, if utilzed, will defy any adverse circumstance or current event which might je used to temporarily depress or iestroy the intrinsic value of the South's greatest product. I have reference to the great possibilities embodied in the State's warehouse system. It seems that so few men have concerned themselves in regard to this law. and be:ause of the fact that the daily papers of the State seem inclined to loubt the wisdom of agitating the subject, which at this time should De the constant thought of both the "armer and the business man, I have Dersuaded myself to at least give to :he farmers of our county the simple suggestion that there is at hand i real, practical, inexpensive, safe ind common sense method for the storing and indefinite holding off of ;he market the cotton which they ire now about to begin to harvest, rhose who do not avail themselves )f the plan should not complain Irroh'nnc mofnro onH I WUCTil lUCIi UV/liguciUiJO luuvuiv uuu ;heir creditors ask for either cash settlements or such negotiable paper is will pass current in the general market for credit extensions. The newspapers, when they diseuss this subject, advise that there s ample warehouse facilities in South Carolina to store the cotton, and they publish almost daily the Pact that there is abundant money n the banks to hold the entire crop; and that the great Federal Reserve System alone is fully capable of bringing relief to the South. All of A'hich is absolutely true, but so far as the individual farmer is concerned it is all "Bull"?or, to be genteel?it relieveth him not. The plan of holding cotton in Standard warehouses, privately owned, is profitable only to the very large merchants, fertilizer dealers, manufacturers and simulators. The producer had far better sell nis cotton out right at almost any price, at home, than to consign it to the generous protection of such institutions as furnish food for the Octopus which thrives best and fattens faster when fed from such sources. The price of cotton will never be controlled by the farmer, or even influenced by him, so long as the necessary facilities for holding and storing the staple remain in the hands of men other than those who produce it. Keep this thought uppermost in your mind. It runs through both weave and warp of the warehouse act. By the way, reader, have you ever read that act? How many are those who have devoted to its studv a reasonable amount of intelligent thought? It is the only intrument of legislation which provides an absolute source of relief to the producer of cotton, who, since the war between the States,has been a slave to our miserable credit system. It is the one instrument, which, if utilized, will enable our merchants to act a3 reservoirs,thus preventing the overflow of cotton upon a disorganized and depressed market. I guarantee that the North, East or West would snap at such an opportunity to control the marketing of a product of some great industry of theirs, yet we people of the South are willing to sacrifice our very substance, rather than cut a rut or swerve the least from a trodden path ingeniously prescribed by the subtle brain of subsidized interests. The Warehouse Commissioner cannot build oar warehouses, a wise provision of the act, but he can and is instructed to take them into the system when built, provided, etc. Every merchant and eveiy farmer who handles one hundred bales of cotton or more per annum should have a warehouse upon his premises sufficiently roomy to protect his cotton from the weather,if for no other purpose. Any merchant or farmer who has such a warehouse, one hundred feet or more from all other buildings, well built and with a metal roof, rain proof and first class yi every physical respect, can transfer the same by lease or rental into the State system and for the normally small sum of about ten cents ner bale per month,secure a State warehouse receipt which carries with it all the privileges of the great system, and which is recognized by the Fedoral Reserve batak as preferred collateral security, to which notes may be attached and readily discounted, payable twelve months after date,if so long a time be desired. A half dozen farmers producing thirty or forty bales each uniting their interest could likewise enjoy these privileges. The remedy is at hand, but without the preparation it availeth nothing. Money is abundant,but cotton will have to be sold at a sacrifice or warehoused?the receipt will be absolutely necessary. Th? privately owned and managed warehouse is not practical, is too expensive and is undesirable. The warehouse under State control is feasible, practical and preferred. Details would continue this article beyond reasonable length. Those who are interested can act for themselves. A little deliberate thought, a little expenditure of money and a little perseverance would fully prepare our people to meec any emergency that might come. Dismiss the idea that warehouses should be built of brick and located on expensive town lots. Such is not necessary. The proper place to store the staple is in or near the field upon which it grows?and the South Carolina warehouse system provides this opportunity. E C Epps. Burglary at Hemingway. Hemingway, August 23: ? The store of the Haselden Mercantile Co was broken into and entered last Thursday night,the thief gainingentrance by breaking the glass in the front. The cash drawer was torn open but contained only 27 cents in pennies, it happening that Mr Hemingway put all of his cash into the safe before closing Thursday night. Several pairs of shoes were taken from the shelves, but it could not be learned whether the intruder found any to his liking or not. The bloodhounds were wired for early Friday morning from Kingstree, but a message was received from Sheriff Graham to the effect that it was impossible to come on account of roads being in bad condition, owing to the recent very heavy rains.
