in the schools. That all mea are
born free, entitled to the same
opportunities and that privilege
is a matter of worth, not birth.
A great and eternal truth is
abont to become in this nation a
grand and glorious fact.
But, my friends, I have not
come here to. talk about the past,
it is of the future and the oppor-
tunity now open to the South
of utilizing her cotton crop to
become the dominant factor in
the financial world. I would not
have you think that I regard
the question as one of mere
money, but I recognize the fact
that with wealth goes intelli-
gence, culture and an ever ad-
vancing civilization.
Here the senator gave full
exposition of his well known
views of State owned and oper-
ated warehouses for agricultural
products. In the course of his
remarks, he referred with ap
proval to an editorial in the
News and Courier on the sub.
ject of the proposed $50 tax on
contracts for futrue delivery,
saying if it was paid, it would
como out of the cotton grower,
as every expense from the gin
house to the factory was deduc-
ted from tho price paid to the
planter. The way to do was to
give cotton a stable price like
the coffee growers of Brazil did,
then there would be no Bulls
and Bears, and the exchanges
would serve their legitimate
purpose as the coffee exchanges
are now doing all over the world.
If you get a doctor who can't
diagnose the case he is apt to

SMITH AND THE BOIL WEEVIL.

The press dispatches relating
to Senator Smiths cottonless
zone proposition do not seem to
agree. Monday afternoon news
papers carried a story that at a
conference called by Senator
Smith, at which was present.ex-
perts from the agricultural de-
partment, after a two hours ses-
sion they decided the Senator's
plan was too costly and alto
gether impractical, but in yes
terday mornings newspapers
the reverse is reported, and in.
stead of the experts falling down
on the junior senator's views
they agree with him that if the
proposed zone is established,
it would drive out the boil
weevil. The more the matter is
being looked into the more does
it becomes interesting, the main
objection so far raised is the
cost it would entail. It is
thought if the government I'm
dertakes to carry out the idea Of
Senator Smith 1t will cut down
over a quarter of a million acres
of cotton. unless the making of
this cottonless zone emboldens
the other sections to increase
their acreage.
There is this much to be said
about Senator Smiths efforts to
get government aid for the cot
ton farmers, he has made the
subject a study and specially,
it is what he hopes for to be re-
turned to the senate, and it is
what he must convince the
masses Of to win their votes. He
went into office talking cotton,
he has been talking cotton at
every opportunity, and as the
time comes for hi successor to
be chosen he is mole active than
ever in behalf Of the cotton
farmer.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by localappIlcatlons, aS they cannot reach the
diseased portion Of the ear. There is only one
way to cure deafness, and that is by constitu
tional remedies. Deafness IS caused by an in
famed condition of the mucous lining OF the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets infam-
ed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing, and when 1t is entirely closed deafness is
the result, and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out aud this tube restored 10 it's normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out OF ten are caused by catarrh, which IS
nothing but an infamed condition Of the mu-
couS surfaces.

LIEN Law SITUATION.

LIEN Law SITUATION.
Mr.. ]. J. Cantey Of Summer
ton has discovered himself not
alone in his position be took be-
fore the supreme court in the
case Of Cantey VS.. McClary-
Broadway Co. Hon. John l..
McLaurin has written him en-
dorsing his contention, and fav-
oring the necessary legislation
which will give the relief the
court declined to give. If the
legislature repeals the statute
referred to, it will give to the
landlord the prior lien on the
crops of tenants with or without
writing, whether the same be
for supplies or rent or both.
Should this be the case it may
bring about a condition that the
landlords do not desire, it may
force them to release their rights
to the merchant in order for
their tenants to get supplies, 1t
may also have the effect Of fore.
ing many a mortgage on the land
Itself. Lands untenanted be.
come a burden to the owner, and
unless the tenants can be sup
piled with the necessarles OF life
and the fertilizers for the soil
thew are likely to become un-
tenanted; true, the large land
owner may be in a position to
supply his tenants, but the small
land owner will either have to
make arrangements for his ten
ants or let his lands become
idle. The merchant cannot af-
ford to take the chance of ad
vancing supplies and fertilizer
upon the lands of another with
out security, therefore If the
lien on the crop is taken away
from him there will be no secur-
ity except such as he can ar
range with the owner of the
land, this may not always be
satisfactory, to the tenant and
might result in disadvantage to
the owner. At'present the law
gives a prior lien for rent with
or without writing, but if he
also furnishes supplies he must
take a lien the same as a mer.
chant, this. as we understand
Mr.. Cantey's position, he wishes
to change, so as to give to the
landlord the prior claim for
everything, rent, supplies OF
what not.
The farmers might be willing
for such a law, and it does ap
pear the thing at first glance, but
when other things are taken in'
to consideration we think they
will go slow about urging such
legislation.
The large landowners can pro-
tect themselves now by merely
debating to their tenants how
and where they shall obtain their
supplies without legislation, il
they propose to do the supplying
themselves all they have to do is
to comply with the law as it is,
then if the merchant advances to
them he does it at his own risk,
at the same time the smaller
landowner who is unable to make
advances will not be discrimi.
mated against because the
tenanta is permitted to make
his own arrangements and
give as security the crop less the
rent. We have high opinion OF
the views of Mr.. McLaurin gen
orally, but in this matter we can,
not see as be and Mr.. Cantey
does. however, we are open to
conviction, and if these gentle
men can show wherein the Civ
ing the landlord prior rights over
the crops raised by tenant with
out writing, tends to help condi-
tions with both landlord and ten
ant it will be illuminating. The
following is the letter Senator
McLaurin sent to Mr.. Cantey:
The Manning times. [volume] (Manning, Clarendon County, S.C.) 1884-current, 1913-08-06
Mr.. McLAURIN'S VIEWS.

Mr.. J J. Cantey, Summerton, s. G.
Dear Sir:-I have watched with much
interest the course OF the case OF Cantey
VS.. McClary-Broadway company. The
issue involved in this decision of the
supreme court vitally effects the farm
ing interests of the State, and as q
member of that class thank you for
the ability and clearness with which
you presented it, agree in toto with
the views you hold and fail 10 follow the
supreme court decision which regard
to section 4l65, code of 1912. However,
the decision of the court makes the law,
and there is no way to reverse it except
by the repeal Of this section.
This is the kind of decision that IS
developing sentiment for the initiative,
referendum and recall. Which only
means that the people want little
more hard horse sense and less hair
splitting technicality in the admins
tration OF justice. 1t is only those who
come into direct contact with labor con-
diJious, who know how difficult it is to
handle. The course OF our present sys-
tenn has been that an ignorant tenant
goes to town and gives merchant a
chat5el mortgage or lien on crop. Then
the land owner is helpless. The mer-
chant makes him plant all cotton, sells
him red wheel buggy and puts him to
riding the road, while his wife and
children fishtthe grass.
The land owner should make the nec-
essary advances and the fact that the
tenant is on my land should be notice
to all the world that the crops raised
on that land are responsible first to me
for all debts due by that tenant. No
one should by any judicial legislation
be permitted to get between landlord
and tenant at the expense of the former
and the decentralization of the latter.
You have done a good work; 60 on
now and get your representatives in the
general assembly to complete it.
Yours truly,
JNO. L. MCLAURIN.

This magnificent property IN
