LAURENS, S. G., OCTOBER 10, 1907.
WAREHOUSE PRICES.

In Greenwood the two warehouses are
in a controversy. One of them has re-
Iethe price of storing cotton to 10
Nonth; perhaps the other has
"a Aor will follow its example.
Th> seems to be some feeling in the
matter but if cotton can be stored and
insured for 10 cents a bale a month,
that ought to be the price and it is
pleasant to observe that there is COM
petition in the business. At the same
Sime, farmers should remember that
the warehouseman is entitled to a profit.
1T the prices are cut too low, the ware
house in time will have trouble and 20
out of business. Nor should it beimagined
that because a little company earns
ten or twenty per cent. even, one year
its profits are too high and it's rates ex-
tortionate. A small company must, to
succeed, earn bigger profits than a large
company. When a bad fire or other
disaster comes along, it's entire earnings
for years may be wiped out. A COM
pany of any kind with $50, 900 capital in
Laurens might be earning 100 per cent.
a year and yet it's stock might be re-
garded as mighty poor collateral for
loans in Charleston or Savannah. Why?
Because small enterprises are not looked
upon as stable investments by outsiders.
Outsiders always consider that big
profits of a little concern may disap-
pear in a short time. We here in Lau-
rens know that we have uncommonly
strong banks and on our local market
the stocks sell high, but what would
their stocks bring in Richmond? Per.
haps twenty dollars a share less than
they would bring here. The smaller
the concern, the larger proportionately
should be the amount of profit put tc
the surplus fund for protection against
hard times
We do not pretend to know what the
charges should be for storing cotton but
there ought always to be competition.
The warehouses, whether they be own.
ed by bankers or farmers, should not
attempt to do business for less thar
cost and a fair profit, and the test OF
cost and profit is the average of a period
of years, five or ten, not one years
success. If the farmers of Greenwood
build a warehouse and handle cotton at
80 low a figure that they can earn no
profits, they will become Disguised
and sell it and the stock will pass into
the hands of other people. The differ
ence between 10 cents a month and Is
cents for storing and insurino COTTON ic
tremendous-ffty per cent.

"LICKER" IN CHARLESTON.

Governor Ansel and Attorney General
Lyon have been fighting the blind tigers
In Charleston mighty hard lately. Their
men nave been getting evidence upon
which five or six leading whiskey sellers
of the unlawful kind have been enioined
from selling liquor. If they disobey,
they will be imprisoned for contempt.
The Governor and the Attorney General
do this because of the difficulty of find
Ing; juries that will convict tigers in
Charleston. Of course the Injunction
method will be effective-so long as it
lasts. we doubt if it will last though.
1t may be that we shall have a Govern
or some day who will not a r whether
whiskey is sold by blind tigers in Char
lesion or not. We have had them of
that kind during the days of the state
~dispensaryi though we suppose some of
u friends will find that hard to be-
lieVe.
The plain truth is that no whiskey
law is going to be enforced in a com
munity that the people of the commun-
fty don't wish enforced. If the people
OF Lauren county generally believed
that there is no more wrong in selling
~hiskey than in selling flour, the SUI
pressing of blind tigers would be very
dlmcult. A large proportion of the PEG.
pie of Charleston look on the whiskey
selling business just as our grandfathers
here in Laurens did. Sixty years ago,
the best merchants in this county
Thought nothing of selling a Jug of
whlskey from their village and cross
roads stores. Consider the trouble that
uncle Sam has in putting down moon
sinners in the mountains.
The injunction is a civil process. 1t
will not do in the long run to use it as a
device to convict people of crime, there
by abolishing, to that extent, trial by
jury.
Meanwhile the whiskey situation in
Charleston is improving. Gradually the
people are coming to the conclusion that
their county dispensary system gives
them a measure of local self govern
ment and that it will prove profitable.
A sentiment in favorof obeying the law
is slowly but surely growing up. In
time this sentiment may become so
strong that blind tigers will not be toll
Grated. But they will not be perman-
emily suppressed by injunctions issued
at the instance of outsiders.
OF course the Governor and the At
torney General are perfectly sincere in
their intentions. Possibly their activ-
tiles may help in the work that the law
abiding people are doing, but the dan
ger is that they may arouse resentment
by their interference. The blind tigers
in Charleston have no friends in Char
lesion except themselves. So long as
the State dispensary with it's graft con-
tinued, nobody in Charleston was dis
posed to bother with the tigers but now
that an honest SYSTEMS being conducted,
the feeling is strengthening every day
that the law ought to be obeyed.
BY the way, although nobody has
sent to Jail for getting loot out of

City cotIrt cases.

In the police court yesterday morning Judge Mathewson disposed of the fol- lowing cases: Joseph smith, breach of the peace on his wife, Mary Smith, five days in jail
 Michael Goggins, drunkenness, judg- ment suspended. James Cairns, drunk enness, thirty days. John J. Shanley for breach of the peace against John Murphy, fine of five dollars and costs, which he paid
 Thirteen year old John Dannaru- minia, accusedof stealing a watch val ued at $5 from John Doe, was turned over to the probation officer.
 The case of forgery against Rufus G. Baldwin was continued until June 27
 A clever defense against the charge of theft from the person was given by James Roach.
 Roach was accused of stealing a watch from the person of William Sul- avenue, while the latter was asleep be- hind the bar, The pawnbroker to whom Roach pawned the watch testified against the prisoner making a fair case One weak point, however, was that Sullivan did not see Roach pawn the watch, nor'did he know anything about it, for he was asleep, be he said he thought it was Roach. Roach told a tale that amused the court room.
 Roach said a stranger had given him the watch to pawn for him, and that the stranger whom he had seen several times before. gave the name of John Keefe. He said the stranger had ask ed him to pawn the watch and waited outside the store while he did so.
 Roach gave the name of Keefe to the pawnbroker, and got $6 on the watch,i and departed.
 Despite his clever plea of defense, the judge ordered him held for the superior court under S500 bonds

His chief opposition to the pay ment of the bills was that the attor- neys had charged exorbitant fees.

THE TIME. THE PLACE, THE GIRL.
Great Boston and Chicago Success to be
 Presented Here.

One of the first attractions of the coming season for the theatergoers of New Haven will be "The Time, the Place and the Girl" which has just closed triumphant engagement in Boston and has proved itself quite as great success there as it was in Chicago and the west. This jolly mus ical comedy has had notable exper- fence in every city in which it has been presented and its coming here will therefore be awaited with the pleasant est of anticipation It was first pro- duced in Chicago at the La Salle thea- ter, and at that time it ran the com plete year. breaking all precedents in the city and establishing record of 453 performances to be equalled by fu- ture attractions. Then another com pany was formed to appear in other cit ies of the west and in every place vis- ited "The Time, the Place and the Girl" proved the biggest hit of the season. Finally the Asl1in-Singer company de- termined to give a Boston production, and the piece was staged at the Ire mont theater with unequalled success, testing the capacity of the house at ev- cry performance for four weeks, when long-existing engagements compelled the removal to the Colonial theater, where there was even greater success until the time came for the conclusion of the companys first year. It was proved concluslvely that New England heartily liked this new musical comedy by Frank R. Adams Will M. Hough and Joseph D. Howard, and therefore it was decided to begin the second sea- son of 'The Time, the Place and the Girl'' with a limited tour of the prin- cipal cities of New England, and thus it is that the playgoers of this city will have a chance to see 1t under the most advantageous circumstances pos sible. The carefully selected cast will be made up of Chicago and Boston fav- orites, there will be an array of the daintiest broiers who have yet graced the comedy, and the. scenic equipment will be elaborate in every way. There fore it Is easy to see that this will be one of the biggest treats of the coming season.
