come within the law.

Hon. John L. McLaurin, state ware
house commissioner, left yesterday for
Richmond, Washington and New York
on business connected with the financ-
ing Of state warehouse receipts. Mr..
McLaurin believes that these receipts
should have a better loan value on
their independent merits than the re-
ceipts Of independent warehouses, and
the purpose of his trip is to see the
officials of the regional reserve sys-
tenn and of New York financial insti-
tutions in this connection. Mr.. Nc
Laurin is accompanied on the trip by
Mr. w. D. Grist, editor Of The York
vile Enquirer.
Not long ago Rev. Byers, p. c., of Fill
bert handed into The Enquirer an ad-
vertisement for the owner Of sheep TAX
en- up, and before the paper was is
sued Mr. B. B. Ferguson Of No. 5, York
vile, handed in an advertisement for
eStray sheep. The two advertisers were
put in communication with each other,
and both advertisements were left out.
At Sharon, Wednesday, j. ]. Plex-
leo instructed the insertion of an ad-
vertisement Of bay mare mule TAX
en- up" and yesterday T. M. Darby,
of Chester No. 4, sent In an ad OF a
"bay mare mule estray." This Is to
put the two last named parties in
communication.
Replying Wednesday to a personal
observation about the unfriendly COM
ments Of some Of the newspapers on
the warehouse act, and his connection
Herewith, Mr.. McLaurin said: Why
those comments are all right, and
suppose legitimate. " is a business
proposition, and it will have to be set
tied on it's merits regardless Of other
considerations. / am simply doing the
best can to make the warehouse sys-
tenn a 60 and make it as valuable as
can. With reference to the taking over
Of warehouses l have already been
more successful than hoped for up to
this time; but the main question to be
settled is the superiority of the value
Of the state warehouse receipt over the
independent warehouse recei"t. If can
establish this point in favor Of the state
warehouse receipt, then much will be
accomplished. Otherwise the problem
becomes more difficult. But after all,
il is a question Of business and the
whole matter resolves itself down to
business basis that cannot be affected
one way or the other by unfriend!V
