This decision was reached at the
meeting of the directors OF the Board

twenty-one directors present and
when the vote was called it was prac.
tically unanimous. The vote to post.

pose of allowing further discussion
and reimbursement of the proposed
lines, at the request of the opposi

H. o. Fulton made motion to post

meant until the adjournment OF the
present Legislature, but he got nc

None but the least discerning are

The most persistent and energetic

markably low prices is not to be de-

Many a time an article that is repre-
sented by a mail order house as supe-
rior and cheap, turns out to be inferior
and dear, and the purchaser is gener-

best he may. Even the most reliable

Columbia newspaper correspondents
will keep nagging at John L. McLaurin
until presently he will develop into a
martyr and then a real factor In poll
tics in this state.-Anderson Daily Mail.
We do not see it exactly that way.
Not only the Columbia newspaper cor
respondents; but all the newspaper ed
itors see in John L. McLaurin force
that must be reckoned with. Some hate
and despise him, some admire and re-
pect him; but all that have ordinary
perception feel that whether they let
him alone or whether they keep him
to the front there is in him that which
counts. Not only is Mr.. McLaurin wor-
rying the newspapers; but he also has
the politicians guessing, especially
those who stand for nothing but their
own prestige, honor and pap. Many
fear him because they know his eleva-
ton will mean their decline, and 9TH
ers are worried because they are un-
able to figure out to their full satisfac-
ton whether they can make their own
positions more secure by pushing or
pulling. In the meantime Mr.. McLau-
rim seems to be doing nothing but at
tending to his own business, and driv-
ing home the benefits he believes cot
ton producers may derive from the es-
tablishment of state-owned and oper-
ated warehouses.

FARMING IN THE WEST

Mr.. Louis Roth and family, of York
Vile, returned home last Sunday night,
after an absence of two weeks, most of
which time they spent in Texas and
Oklahoma, having gone mainly on a
visit to relatives; but Of course taking
much interest in the country through
which they passed both going and
coming. They went out by way of
Ashevile, Knoxville and Memphis to
Dallas, Texas, and from there to Fort
Worth and Johnson county, where
they visited Mr.. w. M. Finley, an un-

of this county, and Mr.. ]. F. Love, an

The Thaw case has taken "anothe

The Thaw case has taken another
turn" When Thaw's attorneys saw
that the successful outturn Of the writ
for which they had applied, meant
playing into the hands Of the New
York attorneys. they withdrew It,
They did not care to have Thaw re-
leased from the jurisdiction Of the
court only to be taken in charge by
the immigration authorities. AS the
next move, the New York attorneys
applied for a writ Of habeas corpus
themselves. They got the constable
who had arrested Thaw to make the
affidavit, his excuse being that Thaw
had threatened to sue him for false
arrest. Thaw's counsel claim that
there can be no application for a writ
Of habeas corpus except in the inter-
est Of the person in behalf Of whom 1t
issues But there Is to be a hearing
today anyway. 1t presents funny
proposition, in some respects, espe-
cially in that 1t makes the opposing
attorneys change sides. Thaw has
made an affidavit in which he denies
any intention Of prosecuting the officer
who originally arrested him. 1t has
been suggested that in the event Of
Thaw's release on the writ, there will
be an appeal, but the New York attor-
neys have pointed out how there will
be difficulty in having Thaw picked
up by the immigration authorities as
soon as he is turned out of Jail. The
understanding yesterday was that the
hearing would be held today.

ing Of leaders, at a loss so as to give
the idea of general cheapness, with the
purpose Of making up on the profits Of
many articles the losses on a few.
Now, while on general principles 1t is
poor economy for our local people to
send their money abroad to people who
do not help work our roads, support
our schools and churches, maintain our
government and look after our sick and
poor, still there is not much use in try
ing to persuade people to hold back
from what they may consider will be
to their advantage. When a man thinks
he has a chance to get S. values for
thirty cents, as a rule he Is going to
have them whether he is in need Of
the specific articles offered or not, and
even whether he has the money to buy
with. If he has not the money, he will
borrow, and as for not needing the ar
ticle described, he will figure that he
Is so much the richer anyway-in
Imagination If not otherwise.
But in this connection we want to Of
fer some advice that we think Is sensi-
BILE and practicable. Don't be carried
away with the glowing offers Of mail
order houses. Read what the mail order
catalogues have to say. That is right,
for there Is nothing like keeping up
with what is going on; but after get
ting all possible information. be delib-
crate. II the offer is a good one. 1t will
keep. Then to find out whether the Of
fer is a good one, go to the local mer-
chant, tell him what has been put up
to you and get his opinion. OF course
your local merchant does not want you
to patronize the mail order house; but
do not distrust him on account Of that.
He knows you are no fool, as well as
you know he Is no fool. He Is out for
business Just the same as you are, and
IL he cannot beat the mail order propo-
sition, he Is not going to try to per-
suade you to drop II. But In nine cases
out of ten you will find that the local
merchant can and will give you the
same article or even a better one, at
the same or q lower price.
Millions Of dollars worth Of miscella-
neous goods are being distributed by
mail order houses, and the common
spiel with them is that I'VE buy in
such large quantities, and sell over such
a wide territory, etc., that we are able
to sell cheaper" But that Is buncombe.
The local merchant usually buys as
cheaply as the mail order house, and
also he sells as cheaply. AS matter
of fact local competition, II nothing
else makes them sell cheaper.
At any rate give the local merchant
a trial in every instance and see how
you come out.

The Manning Times, edited and pub
lished by Louis Appelt, is to have oppo-
sition at the hands Of certain
Manning folks who would undertake
the office of telling the people Of
Clarendon county how they should
act and what they should think
The trouble, it appears, Is a COM
mon one. The Times tries to be fair
and considerate to everybody; but is
not disposed to take orders from the
few as to the kind of news, views and
sentiment 1t should serve to the many.
There are people in Manning who have
their own ideas as to how and what
kind of teaching they would like to
and as the Times insists on having
mind Of it's own, the idea Of the other
people is to have a paper Of their own
The new paper people are disclaiming
any intention Of fighting the Times;
but rather argue that there is room for
two papers, and that they are going
into the enterprise simply as busi-
ness proposition. They want to boom
the town, they say, and also they are
looking for dividends on their stock
From reports, 1t appears that there Is
plenty of money behind the new un-
dertaking; but as yet there has been
no actual organization. The movement
has been on foot for some seven or
eight months; but the first public men,
tion of 1t appeared in the Manning cor
respondence of the current issue of the

As to Movina the Crops.

Discussing the policy Of Secretary
McAdoo as to Federal funds deposited
in southern banks, at Walterboro the
other day, Mr.. E. w. Dabbs, president
of the South Carolina Farmers Union,
stated, that unless the farming class
es Of people were recognized by the
secretary of the treasury, a committee
from the southern states would appear
before the secretary and show that the
fund was Of no benefit to the farmers
of the south, but in fact worked great
hardship upon them. Mr.. Dabbs said
the present plan was to loan only to
the cotton buyers and people dealing
in cotton and that the farmers Of the
south would be forced to throw their
cotton upon the market at the most
Instantaneous time. He stated that
the money was not needed to move the
cotton crop, but it should be adapted to
a plan of marketing which would not
cause the farmers to throw their pro-
duct upon the market at one time"
About the best that we have been
able to think of, the McAdoo plan is
that 1t gives the use Of government de-
posits direct to southern banks, without
requiring them to pay interest to
northern banks as heretofore. Under
the old arrangement, government de-
posits went to northern banks without
interest and the northern banks lent
the money that cost them nothing. to
southern banks for 81, 4, 5 and 6 per
cent, while the southern banks re-lent
it to their customers at various rates
of interest. Now the southern banks
are paying the government per cent
interest, where formerly the northern
banks paid nothing, and Of course they
are using the deposits, or trying to use
them to make as much profit as possi-
BILE. So far as moving crops Is con-
cerned, under this arrangement we do
not see a great deal to 1t. II there has
ever been a time in the history Of this
country except during the war, and
during the time Of panic brought about
for the special purpose Of tying up bus
mess, that there was not enough money
to move crops, we do not remember 1t.
There are banks all over South Caro-
lima right now that are boasting Of
their ability'to to move crops without out
side help, and there Is little question Of
the fact that the banks Of York coun-
ty are now able to move all the crops
of the county as fast as they are liable
to move, with their own resources.
What the farmers want is not so much
the money with which to move crops;
but the money with which to hold
them. If agricultural paper is made
the basis of note issue, and properly
guaranteed warehouse certificates are
put on the same basis with steel bonds.
1t will become practicable for the pro-
ducer Of cotton to get money sufficient
for his needs until he can sell at real
supply and demand values.
But Of course, respecting those gov
ernment deposits we would rather see
them come to southern banks even at
per cent interest, than go to northern
banks for nothing.
