I.HE DRAINAGE lLlAIV
FOR SOUTH CAROLINA
FULL TEXT OF THE Law AS
IT is APPLIED
A QUESTION HERE
Anderson VIII Shortly Have
Drainage Efforts Underway
In This County

Wy reason of the fact that the drain
age law is now applicable to Ander-
son county, following the action of the
last Geleral Assembly. it will be in
teresting to Anderson people to learn
Just what the law prescribes for the
various counties. Again, by reason
OF the fact that active drainage work
will shortly be underway in Anderson
county, following the meeting OF the
county drainage association yesterday
the full text of the drainage law is re-
produced in full:
Section 2,196. That the clerk of
the Court OF Common Pleas, of any

thority TO establish levee or drainage

claiming wet swamp or overfiowafi

therefore, | say, right at this time
If We propose to relieve the manu-
tacturers who have already a stock Of
iasI year cotton, VINO must or neces-
sity convert 1t and cell 1t or leave a
surplus that will be detrimental to the
trade OF both those who sell the raw
cotton and those who sell the finished
product, II we are going TO relieve
them OF the 1913 crop and relieve them
from the manipulations of the market
for the 1914 crop. It is necessary for
us to take immediate and speedy ac-
tion. believe that the bill which I
have before the senate will accomplish
that purpose.
Since I have bean in the senate
have been striving to get relief for the
farmers. l could not get the active
support of some of the manufacturers
for the reason that up to now they had
not been the victims OF this pernicious
system; but the moment that the New
York Echange turned upon them and
in place OF II being ''hedge Market"
letting futures" and spots run
somewhat parallel, It is now a differ
ent proposition,
when a man bought cotton at 1s
cents as hedge" looping to pay 13
cents In the south, and thee "hedge
dropped from q cent to n cent and a
half pound, while the spot" stood
exactly at the same plane at which
he. must buy. he stood 60 lose from So
to $40 ON the oale on his purchase in
the south. When spot, cotton went
up = cent pound and futures" went
up. he was protected. and when "spot"
cottcn went down and futures" went
dawn he was protected, but when ''fn-
lures" went down and "spot"went. up
he was split That Is the complaint
they are bringing now. The grower
has heretofore been tho victim of that
practice and now the manufacturer is
also being made the victim. 1t is q
pernicious system, and we have no
right to give them 12 months lease
Of life in order that they may reap n
profit out of their victims, having SOM
