bill. This bill attempts to meet the
constitutional objections held by the
supreme court to the bill which pass
ed last year. The bill provides: For
the establishment and maintenance OF
this system an inspection fee Of %
cents shall be paid f0r inspecting,
grading and weighing each bale of
short staple cotton and so cents for
each bale Of extra staple cotton or sea
island cotton, grown or offered for
sale in the State" It is estimated that
something like 100000 would be rails
ed.
In his address on Tuesday night,
Senator McLaurin said:
"This scheme, of warehousing can
be started without very great outlay
of money. We must have warehouse
in Columbia, one in the up country,
and one in Charleston to begin with.
I have thought thai possibly with suit
able freight arrangements the COM
press should be in Florence, central
point, so far as railroads are concern
ed. The scheme can be made self
sustaining, and when other States see
us operating successfully, they will
readily fall in line I look for great
results from the next meeting of the
Southern Commercial Congress, when
recommendation will be made as to
uniform system Of agricultural banks.
They will find South Carolina already
operating warehouse system, which
will enable US to use our cotton as
basis for money, without having to
depend on New York"
The discussion of this bill promises
to be one of the mast interesting of the
session.

Remhert's inheritance tax bill. The

SEVEN HOURS SLEEP;
NO MORE, no LESS

Cincinnati, Feb. 4.-"Seven hours
sleep is all that is necessary for any
human being, and if obtained regular
ly in certain hours nightly will keep
the body and mind in healthy state,
said DR.. Foertmeyer, coroner Of Gin
cinnati, regarded as an authority on
criminology.
"Much of the disease of today is
due to too much or too little sleep. A
person who sleeps over seven hours
had too much rest, which makes the
mind sluggish and the muscles lazy
On the other hand, the person who
has not had sufficient sleep is men
tally and physically unfit to perform
his Or her duties with that snap and
vim found in persons who have had
the required rest,
"Men and women who commit any
crime, as rule, are long sleepers.
Their minds grow weak from too
much sleep and then they acquire the
don't care habit, which often results
in crime
Make it rule to sleep seven hours
and you will be better for it, mentally,
physically and financially

1911.
Questioned by Mr.. Young and MT
Nelch, DR.. Johnson told OF the es-
tablishment Of training school IN
Columbia years before the establish
ment Of winthrop college and the aid
received from the Peabody fund at
that time. At first it was $1,000 a
wear and later increased. A few years
ago lump sum of $4,000 was &C
cepted in lieu of this annuity for a
new dormitory and later $4,000 was
obtained.
After the Atlanta paper was read,
Mr.. Young asked if DR.. Johnson knew
how many States participated in the
distribution of the interest on the
fund at any time. DIR. Johnson said
there might be a dozen. One state.
Mississippi, he said, did not get any
on account of the reputation of some
bonds. The amount of the fund wa.
about 100000 and Of this Peabody
institute was to receive $l,50O,OO0.
Mr.. Young brought out that if doze.
States each received 100000 and with
the amount of the repudiated bonds
there would be very little left for the
negro fund.
In his inaugural address, the gov
ernor said:

tees the Hon. Martin F. Ansel, OF
Souh Carolina. If | am correctly m
formed, the trustees of this fund had
agreed to give winthrop college about
100000. The president Of the South
Earplina college went North, and
am told that Mr.. Ansel has in his pos
session a statement signed by ene
president of the South Carolina college
that if the Peabody fund trustees
would give to the South Carolina col
loco q certain amount of that money,
that he, as president Of the South Caro-
lima college would agree and consent
for tho remainder of that money to go
to the education of free negroes.

the word of Prof. D. B. Johnson, the

Winthrop, that that is true.
President Johnson thought that
about s35O,OOO had been the cause of
negro education in the South, He dld
not know as to the amount that might
have been given in this State.
Questioned by Mr. Weston, he said
that he knew that Mr.. McMaster was
2. devoted alumnus of the university
and thought that he must have had
some communication with the board OF
trustees before writing the letter. He
said that he knew Mr.. McMaster was
not a member of the board of trustees
of the university He believed, as he
had stated before, that the university
had made mistake.
Mr.. Mc3faster, who was present
asked that he be given an opportunity
to make a statement if he, deemed 1t

REAL FACTS IN THE
OLLIE TAYLOR CASE
STORY OF 1f-YEAR-oLD BOY GO
ING TO PRISON WAS A
MYTH.

Atlanta, April 15.-The Wild stories
sent out by unscrupulous correspond
ents about how Ollie Taylor, an IL
year-old boy, was sentenced to Il
years in Georgia prison for steal
ing nickel bottle OF soft drink. are
beginning to have their effect.
None OF these articles explained
that the prison" referred to was a
reformatory with q. school attached
TO 1t, and that the Taylor boy had
been placed there by the court at
the argent request of the boys
father. They didn't explain that the
father had tried every other means
to reclaim his boy, and that the child
had committed some dozen or more
other offenses any one Of which
would have been sufficient to render
him eligible for the reformatory.
The idea circulated in the press
from Maine to California is that 10
year-old Ollie Taylor is a convict in
a penitentialy, working side by side
with men conyicts. Every two or
three days the governors office is
notified of another movement start
ed in some far distant city in anoth-
er state. usually by klnd-hearted but
misinformed women, to force the leg
islature of Georgia to free Ollie Tay-
lor from prison"
