GETTING THINGS IN SHAPE
Commissioner McLaurin Makes State
ment About Warehouse.

Hon. John L. McLaurin on yeSter-
day gave out the following statement
covering his operations in connection
with the proposed state warehouse
system:
II shall be prepared next week to
entertain propositions to receive local
warehouses, and will publish the
terms as soon as possible. With the
limited funds at my disposal. however,
| think it will be better for the farm
ers and merchants in every county to
get together and provide such storage
room as they can. l propose to ac-
cept corrugated iron warehouses in
the country, where the insurance COM
panies will take them, and l would
suggest a type Of warehouse which
would hold about 500 bales Of cotton.
which could be erected very speedily
for about $500
1T is very important, if the people
are to hold their cotton, that 1t should
be placed in the form of some nego-
table paper, so that the lien merchant
and others may be able, through their
banks, to discount it, when the Fed
eral reserve system goes into opera
ton, November 16. A state warehouse
receipt guaranteeing the title OF cot
ton and the weights and grades, is a
lOTIn Ol paper lIldl iolS pCSH
needed in the commercial world, and
| am assured that it will find favor in
the moneyed centres when it is prop
erly understood.
II believe that cotton can be stored
more cheaply at home than at stand
ard warehouses. which are charging
80 cents a bale.
Secretary McAdoo has even gone
so far as to say that cotton in the
open on pile poles, covered with tar
paulin. would constitute prime COM
mercial paper under the Federal re-
serve act.
II am endeavoring to secure storage
facilities in Columbia for distress cot
ton. but in the meantime / hope that
the people in the various counties will
provide such storage facilities as they
can. l will certainly go as far in ac-
cepting this cotton as the terms of the
act creating the state warehouse sys-
TEN will permit.
Cotton has advanced and | hope
the holding movement will continue.
The higher cotton goes, the better
borrowing basis it forms, to the ad-
vantage of the farmer and his cred
itor."

that most Of the congressional cam
paign were left almost entirely to the
fellows who were out, who were free
to criticise and misrepresent to their
hearts content without a great deal
of danger of being called down, it
was natural that the voters should be
led astray.
But after all, perhaps, it was not so
bad. The Democratic majority in the
present house is far too large. 1t is
too large to be handled effectively,
and because of the tendency to arro-
gance it is just as we'll for the party
and for the country that there be a
thinning out With the majority re-
duced down to twenty-three, which is
ample to carry through any really
Democratic legislation, providing all
those who are sailing under Demo-
cratic colors are true to those colors,
there will be less difficulty in keep
ing would-bc recalcitrants in line, and
the general tendency will be to more
care and prudence in all kinds Of leg
islation.

There was never q time when the
people stood in more need Of prompt
and reliable information as to the hap
penings Of the day, and there has new
er been a time when The Enquirer was
able to give that information more
promptly or more comprehensively.
A prominent farmer of Catawba
township, who was in Yorkville, yes
terday, says the farmers in the vi
cinity Of Neely's Creek church, have
the best crops Of cotton and corn
this year, that they have had. in the
past ten years.
Already fifty-three now subscribers
have been returned by six clubmakers
under our prospectus offer issued
Tuesday. This is very gratifying to
the publishers. 1t encourages us to
hope for an increased subscription list
notwithstanding discouraging condi-
tions.
Mr.. James Bryant Of the Filbert Sec
tion brought to The Enquirer office,
yesterday afternoon quite a freak in
the way Of a sweet potato, or rather
a cluster of sweet potatoes, which
were about three feet long The po-
tato was raised by Mr.. A. w. Smoak
of Filbert. who has an unusually fine
crop of them this year.
Mr.. w. S. Wilkerson, chairman Of
the board Of pension examiners, de-
sires The Enquirer to inform Confed-
crate veterans and widows Of Con-
federate veterans, that the January,
1914 session Of the general assembly
passed a concurrent resolution requir-
ing the various county pension boards
to prepare lists of all veterans and
widows Of veterans, residing In their
respective counties. The county
pension board has a list Of all the
Confederate soldiers and widows Of
Confederate soldiers who are drawing
pensions, and Of course, these are
available; but what is wanted are the
names of all other veterans and wild
ows of veterans who are not now on
the pension list. 1t will be seen at
once that unless surviving soldiers or
other public spirited citizens go to
work and prepare complete lists Of
their respective townships, it is going
to be exceedingly difficult to get this
important information. Lists should
be sent in to Mr. Wilkerson at Hick-
ory Grove, as soon as possible. and in
all cases the information should in
clude the number of the regiment and
the letter Of the company to which the
veteran concerned belonged.

saw the initial installment of the serial
production, The Trey o. Hearts," at
the Lyric Theatre, Wednesday even
ing. From seven until ten o'clock the
theatre was crowded, even standing
room hardly being available. Local
many Yorkville people who are compe-
tent to judge owing to their frequent
visits to the picture show, say the new
serial is far superior to Lucille Love,
the last serial shown here. They say
the plot, the actors and scenery are
far superior. Cleo Madison, the hero
inc, is the equal If not the superior Of
Grace Cunard Nucile Love-, in beau
ty, grace and artistic ability.

dispatch of yesterday tells
the story Of the unfortunate mishap
as follows: Henry James, the well
known horseman Of Yorkville, came
near losing his life this morning while
driving his blue ribbon mare in the
first Of the arena events before the
grandstand. Travelling at rapid clip,
in making a turn too sharp, the buggy
was thrown completely over, landing
on the driver. Realizing the impend-
ing danger of a runaway with subse-
quent serious injuries to his fine horse,
Mr.. James grabbed for the lines and
was dragged a complete semicircle.
The mare took another plunge forward,
releasing the lines from the hands Of
the driver. With a quick move Mr..
James grabbed one Of the rear wheels
of the buggy and finally brought the
horse to standstill. Mr.. James was
injured about the leg. thigh and ankle,
none Of which, however, was serious,

York county Associate Reformed
Presbyterians and the many friends Of
Rev. R. A. Lummus, who is well known
in every section: The dedicatory

That affair between the British and
German fleets down on the coast Of
Chile was a pretty severe jar to the
assurance that maritime trade routes
were open for British commerce. The
public knew of the whereabouts of the
Goeben and Breslau, the Emden and
Karlsruhe; but the common impress
sion seemed to be that there were few
if any other German warships at large
on the high seas.

Tuesdays Elections.

AS to whether the result of last
Tuesdays election was really a sur
prise to the Democratic national COM
mittee, it would be difficult TO say;
but it is certainly very much at Varl-
ance with prediction claims, which
represented that the Democratic ma
jority in the house would be held up
to away over a hundred, and that the
senate majority would also be very
much increased.
We are not exactly prepared to say
what may have been the cause of this
decided slump. whether dissatisfac-
ton with the Wilson administration,
a natural tendency of the Republi-
cans who left their party two years
ago to follow Col. Roosevelt and his
so-called Progressives, or the long
session of congress extending over the
campaign period and depriying Dem
ocrats of the opportunity Of appear
ing before their constituents and eX-
planning from Democratic stand
point what the Democratic party has
been doing,
1t is very well to remember and
frankly admit. we think, that the big
gest factor contributing TO the cleo
ton Of Mr.. Wilson two years ago, was
the split in the Republican party
caused by the antagonism between
President Taft and Mr.. Roosevelt.
The greater part Of Mr. Roosevelt's
following was drawn from the Repub-
lican party, and since the failure of
the Bull Moose movement to land in
its first effort, most of the members
thereof have naturally drifted back
to their original moorings.
The European war has naturally
demoraliZed political sentiment along
with the decentralization of business,
and this taken together with the fact

One of the results of the entrance OF
Turkey into the European war against

sia an opportunity to carry out her
historic desire to get possession OF

way of Russia in this matter; but
now, If the allies win, it is difficult to
see how it will be possible to thwart
