-Newberry special Of November 5
to the Columbia State: John L. NC
Laurin, Of Bennettsville, former
United States senator, spoke here Sat-
urday in the court house on ware
housing and marketing cotton. HIS
audience was composed chieny OF
farmers, though men OF other pro-
fessions were present to hear him.
The attendance was not as large as 1t
should have been, considering the I'M
portance Of the subject and the able
manner in which II was discussed.
Senator McLaurin spoke for an hour
and kept his audience interested all
the time. A large portion OF his ad-
dress was about the proposed new
warehouse bill which Is to be pre-
sented to the next legislature, to take
the place Of the one passed by the
last legislature and declared uncon-
stitutional by the supreme court. He
thinks the new bill will avoid the
features that were fatal to the previ-
Gus bill. The speaker stressed the
idea that since cotton has become the
of international finance
the south has 1t in its power to domi-
nate largely the finances Of the United
States, through wisely directed efforts,
instead Of occupying a subservient
position as 1t does today. He said
the time has not yet come when
southern genius and statesmensnlp
has proved equal to the task, but that
some man may rise up and handle
the cotton situation as Carnegie has
handled steel or Morgan railroads.
The speaker told how the cotton
market was so controlled as to COM
pei the cotton producer to turn loose,
no matter what the price may be. and
in this situation 1t Is the small plant
er who suffers most, for the larger
planter is usually able to warehouse
his cotton, even under present con-
and hold 1t for rise In the
market. The speaker magnified
cotton, but said emphatically that no
price can do the farmers much good
unless they live at home and make
their own supplies. The address was
a good one and was well received
and at It's close the audience voted
thanks to the speaker.
