MeIarria Says System Is Ready.
To the People OF South Carolina:

10 the People OF South Carolna:
I have completed the machinery to
put the State warehouse system into
operation. Application blanks may be
had from this Office, also the form OF
contract. Under the act Cau only pay
rent after all operating expenses are
met; consequently am forced TO take
the warehouses that are offered, at a
nominal rent, and require the owners
to pay all charges and expenses, in
Guiding 8 cents per bale per month to
the State, to meet the cost of postage,
kilograms, express, travelling expenses,
printing the receipts, tags and blanks.
I find that the charge does not cover
the cost, bnt I viii the appropriation
as far as it will go, and submit the mat
ter to the next general assembly. do
not expect to use cent OF the salary
given me, unless there is further ap-
preparation, as alt the money will be
needed to continue the acceptance OF
warehouses. l only want my actual
expenses, and no receipts will come IN
until cotton is taken out, which may
be year, while insurance. etc., is paid
in advance.
I hope TO have some Information later
as to the use of State warehouse re-
ceipts as collateral, but do not wish
to make statement until I can speak
advisedly. DR.. Wade Stackhouse sub
mitted the receipts to certain capital
lists in New York, and his report was
that the State receipt could be pre-
ferred by them TO that If any private or
corporate receipt for cotton on storage.
A NEW DEPARTURE.
This is new departure in both f.
nance and government. It will take
time and patience to inaugurate it, and
l especially ask the farmers OF this
State to give me their confidence and
support. Don't expect miracles. am
uot "a miracle man." as one Of the
newspapers intimates, nor the man who
s'found shoe string and built a fac
tory" My purpose is to inaugurate a
sane, sound system of marketing cotton.
I notice in the morning paper a de-
cision by Associate Justice Gage,
which further emphasizes the decree
in the warehouse case Of 1912. No lur-
ist has in clearer language set forth
the principle upon which such legisla-
ton as the South Carolina, Louisiana
and Texas warehouse acts are based.
Judge Gage says:
"Cotton, and that includes its seed,
lis the staple product OF the State and
of the South; in this year OF grace the
frightful collapse OF its price, incident
to wellnigh universal war, has shock
ed two continents; the whole policy OF
the State is bound up in the growing,
the sale and the manufacture OF cot
ton"
The individual cotton grower is pow
erless to protect himself. It we can
unite the units, we can control the SIT
uation. Cooperation spells success.
We will pever get shis except through
our State legislatures. II our expert
ment fails, then no other State will try
The Manning times. [volume] (Manning, Clarendon County, S.C.) 1884-current, 1914-11-25
property rights as well as in life and

property ehts az well as in life and
liberty. The declaration of Judge
Gage is g splendid erunciasion of this
principle, / wish SONG case would oc-
cur giving him an opportunity to define
with the same clear Insight, Just what
the constitution means by protectin ng
a citizen in the ownership of property.
Does it include the use of that property
or does it mean merely physical pos
sion? If restricted to mere physical
possession, then the constitutional
guarantee is hollow mockery, for
com mbipations OF capital can coniscate
the profits and thereby deprive me of
my property by destroying its use.
All of these questions must be finally
adjudicated In the courts OF the land.
I fee, that this worldwine war is the
end Of one epoch, and the beginning
of new one in the science OF govern
ment and finance. The ultimate aim
OF true democracy is to give to each
individual his just rights and no more.
This must involve an equitable diYis-
ion OF the burdens Of organized society,
as we'll as the benefits.
A situation like the present offers a
fertile field for money and power 70
fatten at the expense of weakness and
poverty. The farmers can not bear,
without destruction, the entire burden
of this situation. It must be dlstribut-
ed over the entire BODY polite, and
there is no force strong enough to curb
money and its power, save organized
government. This is the logical Sc
auence of the statement, ''the whole
policy of the State is bound up in the
growing, the sale and the manufacture
Of cotton.''

STRONG PROTECTION.

What grand conception of govern

man: greed and projecting human
weakness. Do not be deceived; the en-
tire world is deeply in5eressen in get
ting your cotton at the lowest possible
price. They intend you to shoulder
the entire loss on this crop and let you
make another one if you can. The
more cotton you make. the less you get.
II one-half of the cotton crop were de-
stroyen, the portion left would sell for
more than the whole Why is it that
as soon as Liverpool and New York set
tied their straddle contracts, that the
exchange opened? They are knocking
the price nown every day. Why does
not the stock exchange open? Because
it would lower the price of stocks and
bonds. These are held by capitalists,
while cotton is held by the Southern
farmer. These capitalists wish to use
high-priced stocks, through the re-
gion reserve system, to get money to
buy 6-cent cotton in the South. Cotton
in Europe is now worth % cents per

The Times readers will recall that
there appeared in its columns the story
of child being found on the piazza OF
Mr.. E. P. Mitchum, near Bloomville,
on the night Of October 18th. Naturally
Mr.. Mitchum has been ever since en-
desvoring to find the parents OF the
little boy who appeared, when left at
house, to be about two days old. He has
left no stone unturned to secure lnfor-
nation, even having the movements OF
a certain buggy investigated that was
seen in the early morning by two differ
ept parties. At last his efforts are fruit
full, and Mr.. Mitchum can point out the
mother of the child, and he has evil
dence against the man who laid the
infant on his piazza. Mr.. Mitchum says
the little fellow is a fixture in his home,
that he would not take q million tor 1t,
his wife and daughters are as anxious
for the welfare of this founding as they
could be for their own flesh and blood.
but he thinks perhaps, that it is his
duty to expose the mother so the world
NAV know who this unnatural creature
is, then at other times he feels it would
be cruel to expose one who after her
misfortune should desire to repent and
lead a new life. However, says Mr..
Mitchum, "I will keep the woman's
secret for time, but If she or some
one interested in her dc not come for
ward and manifest some disposition to
help care for the child I shall certainly
feel it my duty to make the world know
who the mother is. II am forced to
make this exposure I shall be armed
with the positive proof"

county were placed on exhibition IN
one of the stores of the Nettles block
| last Saturday. and was visited by quite
a number from the country. but very
few from the town. The exhibit was
worth seeing, it was interesting as well
as pretty. Mr.. c. A. McFaddin and
Miss Katherine Richardson have spent
a great deal of time and hard work to
have Clarendon represented at the
fair, the products they carried to
Columbia show what can be done here
when inteliigently directed. The cam
led products are as fine as can be found
lin any store, the goods put up in glass
are splendid, the fancy and needle
work is certainly credit to the thrift
of the club girls. There were speci-
mems of corn worthy the admiration OF
the farmers, and all manner of things
which demonstrated beyond conjecture
that Clarendon's soil and climate is a
veritable gold mine, if the advice and
