I -? i sol Til CAROLINA SHOULD ADOPT LOUISIANA METHOD, If state Can Go in Liquor BniinCTel, Hfl Sa>s, It Ought to be Able to Deal in Cotton. BennettgvlUe, Nov. 2.?Former j I United States Senator McLaurin and Charles Crosland rolurned last night from New Orleans, where they have been attending the conference of gov? ernors on the problem of raising the price of cotton. In an interview this j morning, Mr. McLaurin said that the entire meeting was characterized by intense earnestness and determination to meet and solve the problem of such vital interest to every one of the South. When asked as to what plan re? ceived the most favorable considera? tion at the convention he said: "The plan proposed at New Orleans was called there the 'Louisiana plan.' If I was called on to name It, I should call it the 'State validation plan.' "It Is already being put into prac? tical operation in Louisiana, Missis? sippi and all thjl territory contiguous to New Orleans. In brief, it is like fhtf In Louisiana and it will have to be varied to meet the different condi? tions in the several States: The city; of New Orleans owns and operates I the docks and warehouses of the city under what is known as the dock commission. The State puts her ! great seal under proper safeguards upon the certificates issued by the warehouses. I saw one of the forms used; it is really a reecipt from the I j State of Louisiana for so many bales of cotton. This validation by a sover? eign State takes away the local flavor . and gives the warehouse receipt about j the same potency as the old State bank currency used before the war. j "The credit of a sovereing State is behind the warehoused cotton, and they tell me money is obtainable in i any amount at 4 to 4 1-2 per cent. The j State of Mississippi has called an ex? tra session of the legislature and Oov. Noel said he would take advantage of this to present the plan, but that being so near New Orleans It was hardly; necessary, as they were now using the warehouse facilities of that city, and the Louisiana plan is for cotton from any State. The people are hold? ing cotton out there; and it is up to the eastern part of the belt to do her duty. "My opinion is that the crop is! i everegtlmated Practically ail of thei OTOp I1? gather. ? fr.,m here to Vow j Orleans, a holding movement and a perpendicular drop in receipts will j speedily drive the bears to cover and j put cotton up; and if we allow the , spot cotton to pass out of our hands we will see the middleman get the profits this year." "If South Carolina wants to do any? thing, she should be up and doing. U occurs to mo that what the State of South Carolina needs is not only an Interior warehouse system, but the great central warehouse plan, located at Charleston or some other deei> water point. "If when the currency commission reports a plan to congress for amend? ing the present national banking laws It would recommend that congress make these State warehouse certifi? cates the basis for a currency issue, the problems of elasticity and an elasticity and an emergency currency, which would retire itself automatical? ly, would be solved for all time. I i think the Stato had better build same i cotton warehouses in Charleston in? stead of spending that million dollars on the State house." "Senator, it was reported that you favored valurizaiion on the Bra? zilian plan." ? "No, I Mid State v alidation, and b - lng a word of my own coinage, 1 sup? pose the reporter got it a little mix? ed." "What about the constitutionality "' "Weil, Louisiana found a constitu tional amendment necessary, t don't I know about South Carolina. Having been engaged In the liquor business, It lookl tO me as if she might po into the cotton business, and as there are no rebates t<? corrupt her public of? ficials in this, perhaps she could find honest men enough to handle the sit? uation.'

This Divine Law operating In the world, rewarding good and evil deeds, save in exceptional cases, now operates only amongst the Jews and amongst Christians. This is because only Jews and true Christians have come into covenant-relationship with God. The Apostle's declaration is true: "The world Iletb in the Wick ed One." Sodom and Go? morrah, Nineveh.

Had it not been for the per? secutions which have come to the Jews they would not today be a sep? arate and distinct people as God de? signed, and hence they would not be ready as a people to receive and he the ilrst to participate In the glorious blessings of the Messianic Kingdom. In proportion ns they maintain loyalty to their Law and confidence in the promises of God they will be prepared for tbe fulfilment of these great prom? ises which are still t heirs-earthly promises of restitution, etc.?Acts ill. 19-23: Isaiah xxxv. While God's promises to the Jews pertain to the earthly phase of the Kingdom and its blessings. Ills promises to covenanted Christians nre spiritual, heav? enly. These re? spond to God's i u v i t a 11 o n. "Gather togeth? er My saints un? to Me. those who have made a covenant with Me by sacri? fice." That cove? nant *o sacrifice earthly things will bo rewarded with heavenly things. In proportion as they are faithful to their covenant of sacrifice they will be rich toward God in faith and in works. The ricinus of grace and spir? it, the full Attainment of which will come in the First Resurrection, are often associated now with poverty and sorrows of an earthly kind.
