Representative Evans Replies to
Marlboro Senator's Criticism.

Columbia, March THAT former
United Sttaes Senator John L. Nc
Laurin will be in the race for Cover
nor in 1914 is believed by those who
have been watching recent political
events. Mr.. McLaurin has made no
definite announcement of his plans,
but it is generally understood that
he will offer for Governor next year.
Mr.. McLaurin's criticism Of the Leg
islature. 'as the product of a cam
paign conducted upon a low plane of
thought, nearly every man the pro-
duct of a bitter factional fight"
brought forth a bitter denunciatien
from REPRESENTATIVE ]. j. Evans today,
who denounces Mr.. McLaurir" as a
cheap demagOgue anda politician un-
worthy Of the support or thought or
consideration of intelligent men," He
also denounces him as standard
Oil Democrat"
1t is believed that if Mr.. McLaurin
finds enough encouragement that he
will undoubtedly be in the race for
Governor. He Is at present State

PRESIDENT Proposes to Spend Much of

washington, March 8.-President
Wilson will take a hand himself in

gress. with the cooperation Of party
leaders in the house and senate he
proposes TO work over tariff, currency
and other important measures even
before they are introduced and TO

rms information and the fact that
the president will endeavor in for
warding his policies to use personal
persuasion, not only with members of
his own party but with progressive
Republicans who are inclined to be
friendly, came today from those who
nave talked with him since his in
auguration.
The president does not plan to
draft legislation but expects by sug-
gestion and conference to come to an
agreement upon specific measures
with the party leaders. 1t has not

Will concentrate ~ efforts of party

in some quarters, would have the
effect to steady the nervous sys-

rency are being revised.
Congressional leaders practically
are agreed upon the suggestion that
no subject but the tariff should be

SOUTH CAROLINIAN GETS PIE

Chosen Secretary of Senate.
Washington, March S.-South Caro-
lima Is scoring heavily in the first
days of the Wilson administration
Yesterday the President, on the ad-
vice of Postmaster General BurlcSon
decided To nominate Daniel G. Roper
formerly of Marion, S c., to be First
Assistant Postmaster General, and
today the Democratic caucus of the
Senate chose James NJ. Baker, Of
l4owndcsville, s. c., to fill the import
ant position of secretary of the Sen
ate.
Mr.. Baker had the active support of
Senator Il. X. Tillman, who presented
his name(tO the caucus, and also of
senator T.. ID. Smith.
julius f.. BoggS, of Pickcns, :. c.,
former solicitor of the 10th judicial
circuit, of South Carolina, is in Wash

So great was the modification and

senator Bacon, for the position of
President Pro Tenn of the new Senate
that the Junior Georgia senator resign
ed from the Democratic steering com
mittcC, but later the senator was in

The course of the caucus i'm voting

some as having been II direct Slap at

PROHIBITION FOR STATE.
AMENDMENT TO WEBB LIQUOR
LAW WILL EFFECT SOUTH
CAROLINA.
Webb Bill Goes into Effect July 1
and Thereafter no Liquor Can BE
Shipped into Dry Counties of this
State-Wet Counties May Receive
Whisicy.
Greenville Correspondence to Colum-
bia Record

Dla RECORD.
Greenville, March 7.-When the
Webb liquor bill, passed by the re-
cent congress, goes into effect, which
will be July 1, not a drop Of liquor
can be shipped into Greenvlle. Meth
er can a drop be shipped into any
other dry country in South Carolina
No intoxicating liquors can be shipped
| inside the State except when ad-
dressed to county dispensares estab-
| lished by law.
That the new law contained an
| amendment affecting Sout Carolina
and that the amendment was so dras-
tic did not become generally known
in this State until today How the
alert Washington correspondents
happened to let the people Of the State
remain in ignorance of the sweeping
provision is a mystery.
The general public is familiar with
the main provisions of the Webb bill
as 1T was passed, but were unaware
of the fact that an amendment had
peen tackled on to it affecting this
State. The general bill merely pro-
We'd that no shipments of whiskey
should be made into dry territory ex-
cept for personal use" The amend
ment, which affects this State, pro-
vides that no whiskey shall be shipped
into this State to anybody for any use
| except the county dispensaries estab-
lished by the law. A private citizen
OF Greenville cannot, under the law,
order gallon for his own use.
There is a State law, which pro-
hibts the shipment of whiskey from
one point in the State to another and
as the federal law will prohibit the
shipment from q point outside the
State, it would seem that there will
be no way in the world in which
whiskey may be legally received in
Greenville after July /.
The discovery of the existence of
this drastic amendment to the Webb
bill affecting South Carolina, caused
much surprise among those who were
informed Of it. Several citizens stated
that they had followed the newspaper
reports OF the debate on the bill in
congress, but had seen nothing about
such an amendment. Two or three
| lawyers, who follow all matters of
legislation very closely, declared that
they had not heard Of the amendment
| and were very much surprised by it.
The general belief, however, was
| that the bill would effectually crush
| out the blind tigers i'm the State. They
will now be unable to get whiskey to
| renlain in business and the prediction
is freely made that they will be forced
! 60 get out OF the game. The only way
they can get 1t will be to smuggle it
from some still and this would be too
| risky.
The new amendment, in effect, pro-
vldes that no Intoxicating liquors shall
be received by the express compa-
MES or other interstate carriers, for,
| or delivered, at destinations in the
| state of South Caolna except when
| addressed to county dispehsaries. If
any such prohibited shipments should
reach their destination in this State,
| they must be returned by the carrier
| to the consigner, who is subject to
| the charges both ways.

FARM DEVELOPS MIND

CAMBRIDGE CITY. Ind. Nov. 10
Mrs. Virginia Meredith. widely known
as speaker at farmers Institutes, ad-
dressed the meeting of the Columbus
Grange Friday at Columbus, Ind Over
a thousand farmers were present. She
talked on the subject The Importance
which she said:
children is in the freen and open
country. The country is the real
school for leadership in the worlds en-
deavor. The rural environment pro
duces the strong and broad farm mind
which dominates the world
She said the boy is surrounded on
the farm by nature and his longings
run into the primitive At a certain
age in his life the boy wishes to live
in tents. At another time he has a
mania for running away from home
This, Mrs. Meredith said, is the result
Of the wild instinct. and as far as pos
sible the craving should be satisfied
Farmers Inconsderate.
1t is the duty of the man on the
farm to consider the rights of man
woman and child, and the welfare oil
the tenant does not receive enough
attention, she said. The rural school
is also neglected, and little thought
is given to the consideration of recrea
ton. 1t requires money, however, be
fore these things can be obtained
Therefore, she urged. there must be
cooperation between all members oil
the family.
A system should be instituted on the
| farm, the speaker said, that would be
! fair to the farm tenant: that would
| keep the owner on the farm. and that
would make every member of the farm
| family fair to every other member
| The greatest drain on the rural com
munities is the regular contribution
the country makes to the cities IL
the lives of the young men and women
