A SCHEME FOR MATERIAL BENEFIT.

The movement agitated by the
Columbia Record to make the
capitol city the cotton center Of
the United States, if it succeeds,
will be the greatest boon from
a business viewpoint that has
ever before been attempted. AS
we understand it, the scheme is
to make cotton stored and certl-
ted atColumbia good delivery
against the New York cotton
exchange, that it appeals to the
business mind is shown by the
enthusiastic support it is re-
ceiving by Mr.. Theodore H.
Price Que of the greatest cotton
men in the country, Mr.. Price
approves of the scheme 50 heart
lily that be is urging the cham
Der of commerce to send to New
York a committee to present
Columbia's inducements, and
the Record says, this committee
will probably be composed of
M. G. Heath, T. B. Stackhouse
anc John L. McLaurin, the
fatke If the State Warehouse
bill now pending in the general
assembly.
The Record so far has not been
so strong on politics, but when it
comes to business propositions
that seek to build up Columbia,
and the State, it is there with d
mighty force; this latest sug.
gestion which is rapidly being
taken hold Of by business men,
will be watched with more inter-
est than anything that has ever
been suggested by a newspaper
before. because, it means so
much for the State and the en-
tire South.
When the warehouse bill Was
introduced in the general assem-
bly, a discerning eye could read
lily see that certain politicians
were afraid to letit pass, they
saw it was a piece of statesman
ship which would not give them
swinging hold, and because of
this condition it was not pushed,
but now that this new scheme is
being agltated there will be less
trouble to have the State commit
itself to the warehousiug propo.
sition.
Here is an effort to keep
money where it properly be-
longs, it is being urged by men
who have made a study of the
conditions, they are business
men and they are taking hold of
this scheme from purely busi-
ness standpoint; these men see
that if they Can carry out their
purpose it will mean q greater

but be struck with his advance
thought for the besterment Of
the agricultural and industrial
interests of this State. The
Records movement now, and
McLaurin's speech then. has
the appearance OF cause and
effect, the speech caused the
business men of the country to
look into McL4aurln's scheme,
and the Records agitation is the
result Of the search.
There is no selfshness In this
movement, if it succeeds, and
there is good reason to believe
it will. there will be plenty of
room in it fox everybody. there.

PUBLISHED EVERY WEDNESDAY
II Is COMING LATER.

The Newberry Observer says
"The talk of forming a Prohibi-
ton Party in South Carolina is
the idlest vaporing," very true.
Why should a Prohibition Party
be formed? Have not the Pro-
hibitionists practical control Of
the party machinery now? We
believe canvass of the State
Executive Committee Of the
Democratic party will disclose a
majority in favor of prohibition,
and the same condition exists in
majority Of the counties.
Therefore it would be silly IN
them to turn lose their grip upon
the machinery of the dominant
party to organize a new party.
But just the same there are
many conscientious Prohibition
lists who want to support that
principle in the Democratic
party if they can, but they will
go out of the party to support it
if they must. Therefore it will
not surprise US in the least in
the course of a short time for
South Carolina to be organized
under the auspices Of the Nat,
ional Prohibition Party, and
that it will be a party to be
reckoned with when it does
come.
The National Prohibition Par
ty is growing. and SO far as the
South is concerned, it is with it
in everything but name. Should
an attempt be made to have
national prohibition it would re.
ceive an almost solid support in
Congress from the South. Why:
Practically all Of the southern
states are under prohibition
laws, and the Representatives
who value their positions would
not dare to go counter 10 the
sentiment Of their respective
districts. and the only reason
the National Party has not re-
ceived the support Of the South
is, those in control of the
machinery are afraid to loosen
their grip to take the chances
with a new party.
