McLAURlN'S SCHEME GRABBED BY
FINAEcIERS.

The State Of South Carolina
failed at it's last session Of the
general assembly to accept the
craftsmanship proposed by Sen.
ator John L. McLaurin, but in
stead adopted the waiting plan,
and as Il result: J. B. Duke the
great tobacco magnate, who has
amassed millions by taking ad-
vantage Of good business enter
prises. has proposed and Is about
to put into operation a warehouse
system founded on principles
laid down ia the McLauriu Bill.
The Duke plan has been en-
dorsed by the National City
Bank Of New York, one Of the
largest banking institutions in
the United States, it was
also endorsed at u recent con-
ference in GreenvIile. The
scheme is as follows l. Utilize
the cotton as collateral and do
this always in the same way and
so safeguarded that the integrity
of this collateral would become
very widely known and unques-
tionably accepted. ,. Have
notes of an identical character
against the cotton so as to Gre
ate such a large volume Of paper
OF one description that it will
become a factor in the financial
markets of the world. 3. Have
all this collateral and paper
passed through some we'll known
financial institution that can in
the early stages give its stand
ing and aid in esta blishing it in
the market.
There IS no question the plan
is good, and will have a wonder
ful effect upon the marketing of
cotton, but we regret that the
legislature could not be induced
to look farther ahead than the
political game OF the coming
summer. If the warehoEsing
scheme appeals to the wisdom
of fnancicrs like the Dukes and |
the National City Bank of New
York, then the legislators Of this
State must now be convinced |
that Senator John l.. McLaurin |
is Il Garseelng statesman who |
worked out scheme which |
would rebound to the great agrl-
cultural interests, and give to-

from the holdings of certain cor
porate interests.
The asylum proposition has
been the source of worry for
years, long before the present
administration; it began when
certain spectators had designs
on the beautiful property, they
had the property plated; they
endeavored to work up a senti-
ment among the legislators to
authorize it's sale, but those
whom Senator Tillman charged
in his letters marked "personal"
with being in a conspiracy to
sell this property, were the very
ones who opposed the sale. and
prevented the land grabbers
from getting their clutches on
it, and further, the strongest
friends DR.. Babcock has in the
general assembly are those The
Record would misrepresent by
forcing misleading issue.
So anxious were some Of the
members of the Investigating
committee to avoid politics, that
one of them stated on the floor
of the senate, while ne ''signed
the report, it did not fully carry
out his conclusions, but rather
than give excuse for injecting
politics into the institution" he
refrained from presenting a mi
nority report; the impression
made upon US by the Senator's
statement was, that the commit
tees report was only true as far
as 1t went, but that 1t did not
present the whole truth.
We deny there was any effort
to ';smirch" Drs. Saunders and
Babcock, and we honestly be-
lieve both of them would have |
remained with the institution
had the gadhies from without |
away from them; the |
troubles at the institution were
not of such a serious character |
but what they could have been !
adjusted, we have a personal
knowledge that it was the desire
of the Governor to have the mat |
ter adjusted amicably, he urged
them to get together but every
effort made with that object i'm
view, was frustrated by those
who hoped to profit politically,
and by some who hope to profit
financially by the sale of the
asylum property.

Georgetown and those living

them? The opening up of this
navigation would give to the
farmers cheap freight rates for
hundreds of miles, it would
bring water transportation in
competition with railroads. Do
the people need this cheaper
transportation? Aside from this
however, what about the fran
chise for lighting and hydro
electric power-the power used
for the lighting of Columbia and
adjacent towns. the operating of
the street railway, the cotton
mills and the other industries in
and around Columbia? That
franchise is a valuable asset cap
italized and paying dividends.
Again, if the State conveyed
this franchise and water power,
at a fraction of it's actual cost,
in consideration of the promised
expenditure of large amounts
for a waterway, was not such
sum part of the consideration?
If the company has not expend-
ed this sum. then should not
their charter be forfeited or this
money paid into the State treas
ury?
If the Columbia newspapers.
and we mention them because
they are on the ground where
all of the information is handy,
will manifest the same zeal in
protecting all of the taxpayers
that they enter upon a partizan
political proposition, then we
shall have more money to run
the several public institutions in
Columbia, including the hospital

ty.
Just think of the vast amount
Of money spent, convict labor

the privileged like
the Robertsons can own daily
newspapers and hire attorneys
and editors to prove white is
black. What show have the
masses under these conditions
unless they assert their rights
through their representatives?
The question may be asked
"why have you not done some
thing about this matter?' The
answer is, lack of information

BoES TIE STATE OWN THE CANAL!

One of the questions to be con.
sidered by the people of this
State is the relation the people
have to the great and valuable
water power known as the Co.
lumbia Canal. This matter has
not been agitated until recently,
except locaily-in the city of Co.
lumbia, but the local agitation
has opened the eyes of close OBJ
servers throughout the State,
and may yet culminate in restor-
ing to the people that which
rightfully belongs to them.
If this vast property is restor-
ed, it can be sold for enough to
liquidate the State debt, or it
can be made to bring in an in
come sufficient to pay the inter
est on the bonds, and have
enough left to reduce the annual
tax levy at least one mill. This
is a question in which the entire
State should be vitally interest,"
ed in, and we hope that in the
coming campaign, the candidates
for Governor will discuss this
question on the hustings so as to
enlighten the masses on the i'm
portance of selecting represen-
tatives who will safeguard the
peoples interests by enacting
such legislation as will have the
States title to this property ad-
Indicated. AS far back as 1917,
the Canal was used as a water
way to the ocean, the State
spent S300,O0O on it, and later
about S250,00O more, besides,
using on it the convict labor for
about one-half a century. The
city of Columbia in addition to
this spent several hundred
Thousand dollars
During radical mis-rule this
property was turned over to
Governor Sprauge of Rhode Is
land, with the contract that the
Canal was to be completed to
the ocean or revert to the State.
In 1880 another contract was
made for the completion of the
Canal ';as a public highway for
purposes of navigation" All of
the Acts Of the Legislature and
contracts contain this promise;
instead Of completing the Canal,
the Columbia Water Power
Company cody tell US that We
do not need the navigation down
the Congaree. They constitute
themselves the judge and abro-
gate the Acts of the Legislature
under which they hold title.
They say navigation is net
needed down the Congaree, but

bly, to make inquiry into this
matter, but nothing tangible has
come of it, prevented, ut is said
by certain influences; the peo.
! pie of Columbia and other parts
of the State are becoming arous-
ed to force the Robertson inter
ests to carry out the contract to
give Columbia a waterway
through this canal to the ocean;
the agitation had become so per,
sistent the Robertson interests
bought the Columbia Record,
and they imported an editor to
raise a binding storm to divert
attention from an impending is
sue likely to make the Robertson
interests come across with the
contract made with the State
twenty three years ago. The
asylum controversy is shrewdly
taken advantage of to carry out
the scheme. We have the re-
port Of the Investigating COM
mittee before US, and while it is
true, the report is signed by all
of the members of the committee.
there is nothing in the testimony
or the report which justifes the
assertion that the moral char
acters of either Doctor Babcock
or Doctor Saunders had been as
sailed, it was our contention
from the first, to persist in
claiming these physicians have
been exonerated is misleading,
and, it is done solely to create
political prejudice.
The moral characters of Doc
tors Babcock and Saunders have
not, nor are they questioned,
neither of them needed to be
vindicated, we unhesitatingly
say, had there been any attempt
to besmirch the moral charac-
tiers of either OF these doctors,
we should have raised our voice
in protest and condemnation,
just as we did raise our voice in
defense of Doctor Babcock sew
eral years ago on the floor of the
Senate, when the committee COM
posed of Senator Neils Christ
and others, presented re-
port rejecting upon Doctor Bah
cocks management of the asy-
lum. When DR.. Babcock need.
ed defending he did not have to
wait for a man to be brought in
to the State from Georgia by
certain corporate interests to es-
pouse his cause, it was done by
the writer and others who have
every confidence in the integrity
Of DR.. Babcock-it was de.
fense prompted by affection and
not to divert public attention

they are the lettering places for
