turning it over to the State to be con-
trolled by Commissioner McLaurln,

who do not see what good a State con-
trolled warehouse can do. Practically
ali of the owners Of private warehouses
are making "a killing" this year and
they are reluctant about turning them
over to the State, but before another
season these private owners will be too
clad for the State to accept. Mark the
prediction.
A party OF Sumterites passed through
Manning yesterday on their way TO
Greelyville to attend the McLendoa
meeting, some of that party a few
mouths ago would not have walked
across the street to hear McLendon or
ANYBODY else. Who will say that Bax-
ter McLendon's work is not lasting? Is
| it any wouder that McLendon makes
| friends of every nation, creed and de-
nomination? The secret is, he is broad,
sincere, apd possessed OF true religion.
May the world produce more OF his
kind.
