,JN0. L. McLAURIN TELLS
OF MARKETING COTTON

Newberry, Nov. John l.. NC
Jaurin of Bennettsville. former Uni
ted States senator, spoke here Satur-
day in the court house on warehous-
ing and marketing cotton. HIS audi
ence was composed chiefly OF meF
though men OF other professions were
present to hear him. The ttendance
was not as large a. 1t hould nave
been. considering the importance OF
the subject and the able amer IN
which it was discussed. Senator Nc
Laurin spoke for an hour and kept his
audience interested all the time.
A large portion Of his address was
about the proposed new warehouse
bill which is 10 be presented to the
next legislature, to take the place OF
the one passed by the last legislature
and declared unconstitutional by the
supreme court. He thinks the new
bill will be all right in every particu-
lar, as it will avoid the features that
were fatal TO the previous bill.
The speaker stressed the idea that
since cotton has become the corner
stone OF International finance the
south has it in its power TO dominate
largely the finances OF the onlteu
States, through wisely directed ef-
forts, instead of occupying a subser-
Went position as it does today.
lie said the time has not yet come
when southern genius and statesman
ship has proved equal to the task,
but that some man may rise up n
handle the cotton situation as Car
negie has handled steel or Morgan
railroads. The speaker told how the
cotton market was so controlled as
to compel the cotton producer to turn
loose, no matter what the price may
be, and in this situation it is the small
planter who suffers most, for the
large planter is usually able TO ware
house his cotton, even under present
conditions and hold it for a rise in
the market.
The speaker magniied cotton, but
said emphatically that no price can DO
the farmers much good unless they
live at home and make their own sup
plies.
The address was a good one and
was we'll received and at its close the
audience voted unanimous thanks to
the speaker.

nal SYMPTOM being a constant,
dull pain in the small of my back.

too frequent in passage and l was
forced to arise during the night.

SULZER WANTS A FARM AFTER
 HE HAS SERVED AS GOVERNOR

President Taft's pet projects, received several severe jolts recently.
 First, the Supreme Court reversed the decision of the Commerce Court in the stock yards cases.
 Next, the House refused to make an appropriation for the maintenance of the Commerce Court after March 4, next.
 Judge Archibald, a member of the Commerce Court, was on trial under articles of impeachment in the Sen ate.
 George F. Snyder, clerk of the Com merce Court, was on the witness stand explaining that two cases in- volvlng the Erie railroad were pend- ing in that tribunal when Archibald sought to purchase the Katydid culm bank from the Erie.
 Lastly, a statement was made by Attorney.Geperal wickersham charg- ing reckless extravaganza on the part of the pet court.
 It was shown in the Wickersham statement that s5O,829SO had been put in circulation. exclusive of salaries for the judges and higher court of- ficers. One typewriter desk cost $6S, seven leather pillows were marked SEQ, one seven-foot mahogany table for the conference room cost $21S, five judges court room chairs to- tailed s69O, ten six-hole umbrella stands were worth $S5.
 Altering five judges court room chairs, using new leather and mak- ing new parts. aggregated $425, one slx.ligt electric standard of carved wood. with silk shade, for the confer. ence room table cost SEQ; two ma, hogany library ladders, $42; slip GOV, CTS for fifty-five window draperies and seven court screen curtains, $145,

 WASHINGTON, Dec, 1S.-GOvern. or.elect sulzer was rendered dinner here a few days ago by Representative Fairchild, of New York. Politics did not enter into the speeches, Mir. Fair child, the host, is a Republican.
 Mir. sulzer in an optimistic speech expressed his gratitude ito some of the best friends I have in the world" declared that the latchstring always would be out at the Capitol while he served as Governor and that after his term he purposed to retire to a little farm"
 As chairman of the House Commit te on Foreign Affairs, Mir. Sulzer was interested in the note of the British Foreign Office protesting against free tolls for coastwise vessels using the Panama canal The Governor-elect, however. would make no comment up- on this latest phase of the situation.
 q have nothing to add to the speech I made on the subject during It's consideration on the floor of the House at the last session of Con gress." was the only comment he would make
 In response to a letter from Rudolf Steiner of No 2S12 Second avenue New York, asking permission to use the Governor.elect's name as sponsor for a political organization, Mir. sulzer sent this letter today:
 "An my life I have made it rule not to allow any political, social or civic organization to bear my name. In a government such as ours do not think it consistent while the per son is living. No man can tell what a man may do from day to day, and uptiI he is dead his reputation is never safe. I suggest that you name vour association after some one who has been dead at least century, and if his memory endures it will be en- titled to the honor"

centuries and written down in the eleventh and twelfth centuries.
 "Those histories carry us back to time when the earliest ancestors of the great Iceland and Morse and Swedish families went back to odin, the divine ancestors of the kings, or some wild animal, such as the wolf who was the progenitor, according to their genealogy, of the Wolfganger who was the ancestor of the Dukes of Normandy. and through the Anglo Normans to the Plantagenets and the whole line of the kings and queens of Scotland from Mary downward, and
 from the families of James l. and Eliza beth, the line of the Scottish kings runs through these-the Anglo-Nor- man and wolfganger--back to a bear who appears to be the progenitor of these people.
 Tt is curious that these things should be preserved in a remote and distant part of the world such as Ice land. The reason is that in such solitary place there are fewer changes and destruction of families than took place in medieval Europe, especially England and France. The histories appear to be authentic.
 "Genealogists of the Jewish families also appear to be the oldest of any that exist There was a Jewish fam ily in the caucauses which claimed to carry it's geanology back to King Da- vid. It certainly did carry 1t back a long way. If we can get an ancestry back to King David it Is not very much further back to Noah"

 The large gathering applauded Mr. Adams and cheered Mir, Bryce and Joseph Fl. Choate, who also spoke, the latter supporting Mir, Adams in the tolls matter.
 q attended dinner the other night at which Mr. Bryce was the guest of honor" Mir. Adams said, "and at which the subject of the canal tolls was broached. None of the speakers seemed to have courage to go right to the point. They skated all around 1t and so avoided falling in. propose to plump right in, although MT, Bryce is here.
 "I have never been able to see why the same rules of conduct which ob- tain with the individual should not obtain with the community What is honest and right in one case should be the same in the others. In this so- ciety of the oldest family trees I am giving you advice as the very oldest, for nobody ever tried to go back of the Adams"
