SHOULD PROTECT THE COTTON
McLaurin Holds That lnsuring Fair
Price For Staple Is Part OF the
Duty Of the State.

Columbia.-John L. McLaurin or
counsel in the test case brought 10
determine the validity of the South
Carolina cotton warehouse act OF 1872
presented an argument based on the
farmers need for projection against
those interests which are desirous OF
making the South's great staple
football of the exchanges.
Nj. McLaurin's argument, in part.
follows:
Stripped OF all legal verbiage and
technicalities, ii is safe to say that the
constitutionality of this act depends
upon whether the government can en-
gage in the business OF operating
cotton warehouse in the exercise OF
her police powers. The state has he.e-
tofore engaged in the whiskey busi
ness, buying at wholesale and selling
at retail, with hundreds Of officers
and agents, acting in every conceiv
able capacity. Therefore, the provl
sion of this act should not seem
strange in South Carolina. The va
rious special acts passed by the leg
islature regulating the sale OF seed
cotton, weighing, handling, ETC.,
would seem to indicate that cotton is
regarded as coming peculiarly within
the police powers of the state.
The internal revenue laws OF the
United States provide for warehousing
spirits, and the act of August 20, 1894,
provides bonded warehouses for spir'
its located at central points, For sale
expectation, ETC. Certainly furnish
ing for the benefit of distillers facili-
ties for export trade in whiskey,
which have nothing to do with the
collection of tax, or the regulation
of an article injurious to the public
health. It is a plain measure to assist
the distiller to find foreign markets
for the sale of his goods.
II the federal government can pro-
vide warehouse facilities to aid bus
mess, the taxes from which constitute
only a small portion of the govern
mental income, why can the state
government not provide the same IA
cilities for the cotton exporter, where
almost the whole fiscal system OF the
state is based on cotton production?

FEAR TROUBLE
IN COAL FIELDS
Operators Angered at Dicta-
tOrial Methods of Miners.

Wilkesbarre, Pa, April 5.-Erorts OF
the miners to force coal companies to
engage none but union men In repair
work about their collierles threatens
the peace of the anthracite fields. The
request that the companies force men
into the union against their wishes Is
construed by the companies as an
open violation Of the award of the
strike commission against discrimina-
ton. From the statements made by
big coal company men 1t Is plain that
a parting of the ways Is about at hand.
The plan of the union In placing
pickets at different collieries to get
men into the union Is another act
which the operators are bitterly op-
posing.
