THE coTi'oN oAMsLINa svIL
MeLaurin Tells New York Exchange
tho Proper Remedy Is.


tho Proper Remedy.
Associated Press Dispatch.
New York, Nov. 18.--Ex- Senator
John Z. MeLAurin OF South Carolina,
proposed a plan for ending objsction-
able gambling In cotton futures, in an
the New York cotton exchange which
is considering Changes In the rules
to meet criticism directed against
present methods. Mr.. McLaurin said
the failure Of congress to enact legis-
lation at this session imposing tax
on dealings In cotton options was, due
to the fact that MO plan had been de-
vised to destroy gambling In con-
tracts which does not also involve. the
destruction OF legitimate business
necessary to keep open such channels
Of trade as could not be closed with
out disasterous effects a., ~ ~
N Mr.. McLAurin said the present sys-
tenn was Objectionable because cotton
prices made on the New York ex-
change were based upon the supply
Of cotton In New York warehouses.
As this stock of cotton is only a COM
paratively small part Of the total. he
said. It was possible for SPECTATORS to
manipulate prices for gambling pur-,
poses In way which would otherwise
not be possible.
Under present methods. contracts
made on the New York exchange call
for delivery Of warehouse receipts
for cotton stored In New York ware
houses. Mr.. McLaurtn suggested
that the plan for q tax on cotton OPP
tions which was considered recently
by congress be amended to provide
for heavy tax on all contracts made
through all exchanges In the United
States, provided that cotton delivered
In the state IN which 1t Is grown be
exempt from the tax.
What would you do then?" he
said. "Your New York stock Of cot
ton would be absolutely valueless for
the purpose Of initiating or depressing
prices. You could not afford to de-
liver cotton except In the south. Why
should not the great New York ex-
change get in the van and lead this
progressive movement, instead Of
being driven by congressional lash?"

YORK s. s. CONVENTION.

The attendance at the opening ses-
sion Of the York County Sunday Schooi
convention, which met in Trinity
Methodist Episcopal church last We'd
nesday night, was larger than at any
previous convention, and additional
delegates who were not able to come

Mayor John r. Hart Of Yorkville, de-
livered an appropriate address OF well
come, saying among other things that
the town was glad to have the honor

There has been more or less politi-
cal sensation of late in connection with
the prospective appointment Of H. NJ.
Pindell, a Peoria, Illinois, editor, as
ambassador to Russia. About the time
the editor was to be appointed there
was published letter purporting to
have been written to him by Senator
]. Hamilton Lewis, and setting forth
the alleged terms of the appointment,
which were in effect like this: "Of
course not being trained diplomat, or
a wealthy man, you would not care to
take the responsibility or incur the ex-
pense Of going to a post like st. Pc
tersburg indefinitely. The only thing
you would want Is the honor involved,
for yourself and for your children af-
terward. Therefore it has been arrang-
ed that you can have the appointment
with the understanding that you can
give it up within a year and come back
and take up the ends Of your business
before they have had chance to get
away from you" The. publication of
the letter set the newspapers to buzz
ing and embarrassed the administra-
tion considerably. Senator Lewis de-
nounced the letter as forgery, and
said 1t was the work Of a private Sec
retary who had been discharged for
forging his name to a check. Pindell
found it desirable, however, to notify
President Wilson to cease considera-
ton Of his name in connection with
the appointment, and Sidney Moul-
throp, the accused stenographer, has
been arrested on the charge of forging
a $240 check. Some of the papers have
made the point that in failing to pros
ecute Moulthrop at the time Of the
original offense, Lewis became parti-
cips criminis and as deserving of what
he got. 1t Is generally understood that
the principal reason for offering Pin
dell the place was that he was an old
friend of Bryan's, and the original Will
son man in Illinois. So far, Wilson
does not seem to have come in for q
great deal Of criticism for purely po-
litical appointments in connection with
the diplomatic service, it being gener-
ally held that his own selections have
been of a very high class; but Mr.
Bryan is not getting off so easily. II
is being pointed out that practically
all the appointments that have been
made through him are in the nature OF
rewards to political friends.

A BONA FIpE OFFER.

There is no longer cny question OF
the fact that the court house commits
sioners have received a bona fide offer
Of $4,000 for the court house proper
ty. The matter was mentioned In the
last issue Of The Enquirer on the
strength Of information that amounted
to a practical certainty; but no spe-
ciic details were available at that
time.
During its session Of Tuesday a
check for $4,000 was actually placed
in the hands of the commission, to
guarantee that at another sale the
court house property would bring the
price specified. The letter accompany
ing the check was as follows:
Yorkville, 8. c., Nov. 18th, 1913
To the Hon. ]. s. Brice, w. s. Wilker-
son and John G. Anderson, Court
House Commissioners,
Yorkville, 8. c.
Gentlemen:
Believing, in common with many
other citizens Of the town Of Yorkville,
that It would be an unwise move, a
waste of property and, In fact, almost
an act of vandalism to destroy the
present court house in Yorkville and,
in addition to this, recognizing that
there would be loss to the county In
destroying the present building in or
der to occupy this site for the new
court house, which loss would amount
to at least $4,000 not to speak OF the
inconvenience to the public, the risk
to the county records by being trans
ferred, and the Inconvenience to the
county officers and court officials. sew
eral citizens request that ask you to
offer this property for sale again, sub
ject to the terms and provisions OF the
previous sale, and, as an evidence of
good faith on the part OF these ctt1-
zens, I herewith hand you cashiers
check for $16,000.00, guaranteeing to
bid this sum for the old property II
your commission should see fit to re-
sell, subject only to this condition, that
the purchasers are to be paid Z per
cent interest on their purchase price
and the county Is to keep the building
insured and pay the taxes until the
new court house is completed and oc-
cupied.
Very respectfully,
JNO. r. HART, Atty.
JRH-W.
But the offer was refused. The COM
mission is holding to what many peo-
pie believe has been its deter nation
all the while, to demolish the old build
ing and put the new one on the same
site.
Mr.. F. E. Smiths original offer to
give a lot 2OOx20O feet on West Liber-
ty street, absolutely free, without any
strings, has not been withdrawn.
DR.. R. A. Bratton has revised his
original offer and proposes to give a
suitable lot on the corner Of Congress
and Jefferson streets. and $4,000 IN
cash, for the present court house site,
with the understanding that the coun-
ty may continue to use the present
building on equitable terms until the
new building is completed.

Everybody seems to realize that 1t Is
going to be much easier to get into
Mexico than to get out; but still there
are a great many people who are anx-
lous to get in. More than that It looks
very much like Huerta is going to
stand his ground and make us 80 in or
back down.

It is beginning to look now not so
much whether "McLaurin can come
back" as to whether he can keep out.
Although a majority Of the people at
the Jefferson hotel banquet did not
seem to want him, 1t has since devel-
oped that many of the people they were
supposed to represent do not want
anybody else. AS matters stand now,
it seems that Mr.. McLaurin will hardly
get out Of being a candidate.

on foot for some time, and matters are
almost in readiness to begin construc-
tion work. Upon the death Of the dis
trict presiding elder a few weeks ago
the pastor of Mount Vernon church
was named to succeed him, and Mr..
Hardin Is to succeed as pastor in De-
cember. The college Of bishops had the
whole Of southern Methodism to select
from. Mr.. Hardin's choice is a dis
tinct compliment to his ability. He is
a native Of Batesburg, s. c., and was
married a few years ago to a daughter
of Hon. John L. Glenn Of Chester.

The greatest satisfaction we have
been able to get out of the recent elec-

cal demonstration that even in New

principles of right and justice, are
greater than organized bossim We
would not be understood as suggesting
that right has fully won out. The fact
is that right had no candidate; but the
principles Of right won as far as 1t was

of cradle rolls, and expressed the hope
that York county would win a banner
offered by Miss Burke Of Spartanburg
for the greatest progress along this
line reported to the next state conven-
ton. She said that there are already
between twenty-five and thirty cradle
rolls In York county, and she hoped
that the work Of organization would be
pushed until every church could make
creditable showing.
DR.. ]. E. Wamsley Of Rock Hill, talk
ed on the subject Of the People Not
Enrolled and How They Can Be
Reached" He said that good Sun
day schools are not a mere mat
ter Of chance. There are three people
on the outside to one on the in
side and that those on the out
side are gotten In only by earnest, per-
sistent and faithful work. The mer-
chant who is content to sit In his store
and wait for customers without MAX
ing any effort to attract them, does but
little business, and the same Is true of
the Sunday school organization that
pursues the same policy. To build up
a nourishing Sunday school we must
begin with the cradle roll and then go
out after the adults, and not only have
you got to go out after the adults to
get them to come In, TO keep tnen III
you have got to give them something
after you get them. In going after
people you can learn something from
the way of the politician. He first
makes friends with the children and
thus finds 1t easier to make friends
with the older people. Although each
department does much to interest the
children, it is necessary for all depart
ments to devote themselves to trying
to interest the heads Of families.
Discussing the home department.
Miss Grace Vandiver said there were
5O0.890 white people In South Carolina
who are not connected with the Sunday
school and of these 22,331 are in York
county. OF the York county white
children who attend Sunday school
there are $3.50. The speaker took oc-
casion to say, however. that conditions
in York county are no worse than else

The School Board of Baltimore,
because it was angry at the Anti
Saloon League, withdrew by vote
of 5 to 4, its acceptance of the prize
offer after nearly 10000 children
had written their essays.
The Board was angry at the
League because the League, after
the Board refused to do so, suppli-
ed the children who asked for it
with a scientific pamphlet to enable
them to write intelligently, and
then in fair dealing tried to let all
the other children know that they
could get this pamphlet fires. The
Board claims that the League was
trying to interfere with the schools
but it had agreed that the school
authorities might award the prizes
and even keep the winning essays
and had offered to allow the Board
to say what should be in the pam
phlet and do its own distributing.
There is widespread Indignation
in Baltimore even outside of the
League constituency on the ground
that contract with the children
should have been held sacred. 1t is
generally accepted by the public as
evidence that the liquor interests Of
Baltimore had been able through the
liquor ring of the city to reach its
hand into the schools and stop the
dissemination of truth as to the cf-
feet of alcohol on the human mind
and body.
The net result has been. the Anti
Saloon League reports, to give the
pamphlet far more advertising than
the League had even dared TO hope
