Dunk? Make I merest Ini; Speeches
Alcolu, July 17.?The following
gentlemen 'addressed the Farmers'
Field Day meeting at Trinity, Claren?
don county, neur here, on yesterday:
Mr. John Madison DesChamps
spoke on the subject: "We and the
??ther Fellow," and for more than an
hour entertained his audience on an
Interesting expose of the natural ad?
vantages of South Carolina; during
which he assured his audience thai he j
would be a candidate for governor of j
'South Carolina in 1916. Many com?
plimented the address of Mr. Des?
Champs, who by the way is a broth?
er of our able representative in the
'eglslature from Clarendon, Hon.
Rulph ft. DesChamps, IMnewood. Mr.
J. M DesChamps has traveled all
over the Cnltert States and into many
foreign countries, has had much com?
mercial experience, has written ex?
tensively and is all round very well
informed on the topics of the day,
and a pleasing and instructive plat?
form orator
Hon. J. Arthur Banks, State sena?
tor from Calhoun county, next ad?
dressed the meeting in re. the great
advantages to he derived from hous?
ing and storing cotton as per the State
warehouse law in South Carolina and
recited the ease and facility with
which he, through the instrumentality
of the Hon. John J. McLaurin had
secured money on his cotton stored in
his State warehouse at St. Matthews, '
s. C, through the National City Bank
of New York He very ably defended
the cause of the farmer of this nation
and particularly the South?the cot?
ton and tobacco grower.
The next on the programme was
thut silver tongue orator and South?
ern debater and champion of the
cause of the farmers, the Hon. John
I. Mcl^aurln, State warehouse com?
missioner and originator and effector
of the State warehouse law, who af?
ter a few introductory remarks, ex?
plain** tY** hs rnrt ffltt returned
from Atlanta On., where he hctd Keen
n . k<_ In < ..< en ? i'J"j'.'-i t'? ua . -h.
legislature of the State of OeOffgli |
nnd the great State of Alabama to
pass Just such a warehouse law as
he had by untiring efforts secured for
South Carolina and that he found
that the great effort in Atlanta, where
the legislature of Georgia Is in session
is to create In the large cities large
warehouses to which tho farmer
would he oxpected to ship his cot?
ton, giving a rnke-off to the railroads
and place the farmer's property where
it wou'd be not only a collateral for
the large hanks in the great cities,
hut give to the stockholders of the
large warehouses in these centers a
large margin In the storage and to the
connecting banks In said cities the
loans and the deposits, or a certain
retentatlve portion of the deposits.
Mr. M cI-uii in made a fervent and
patriotic appeal to the farmers to
stand togother and carry out the plan
of the State warehouse law and there?
by save the South from financial ruin
and at the same time bring them?
selves into the possession of the profits
that were Justly theirs by the hard?
ships Incident to producing and
harvesting the cotton crop which he
said was tho foundation of Southern
civilization and what prosperity the
Smith had made.
After the meeting was over, which
was presided over by that truly gen?
erous representative from Clar?
endon, the Hon. Boh White, Capt. J.
N. McKerttie, agriculturist for tho
d. W Alderman and Sons Company
of Alcolu, In company with this cor?
respondent motored to Suinter in
company of Senators Mcl^eurin and i
Banks, where the two distinguished )
guests took the 6.07 train for Colum- |
hla. Senator Hanks and Commission
er Md*uutin will speak in Cumden
Saturday, the 17th, in the afternoon.
Great praise was heard on every
' . nd for the magnificent, sumptuous
i * * a h( that was served today by the
k<m,?| Indies of Trinity.
