COTTON RATES NOT AFFECTED.

Withdrawn.

The State.
John l.. McLaurin, State warehouse
commissioner, in a letter to Gov. Man.
ming yesterday. reversed his position
relative to the approval of the act
relative TO certain classes Of insur-
ance. The commissioner said that the
bill will not affect the rates upon cot
Ton in State warehouses. Several DAYS
ago n commissioner protested
against the approval of the act.
Mr.. McLaurin's letter follows.
Since writing You a letter on the
10Th inst, in reference TO the bill
to regulate the writing Of certain
classes Of insurance in the State OF
South Carolina and to provide for the
division of commissions upon n more
careful investigation and reading the
letter Of Mr.. BULGE in this mornings
paper, am Of the opinion that his
Dill would not affect the rates upon
cotton in State warehouses. 1t seems
to be q fight between the agents over
the division Of the spoils, and no mat
ter which way it is decided would be
of no effect to the persons whose
property is insured.
i find an act passed in 1900 very
similar in character to the present
act, but confined to fire insurance.
This act would govern so far as cot

Celebrate Redemption of Children of
IsrcaI from Egyptian bondage.

From The Daily Item, March 80.
The Jews Of Sumter together with
all orthodox Jews throughout the
world are this week observing the
week of Passover, one OF the most
sacred Of the Jewish holidays. Pass
over week is different from other
Jewish festivals in that symbols are
largely used in it's observance. The
week begins today and lasts through
next Monday, the first and seventh
days OF the Passover being solemnized
by the regular services set aside for
those occasions.
The week is ushered in by the OBJ
~servance Of a domestic service, gen.
orally held in the homes Of the mem
oers OF the congregation. Last night,
however, all of the families Of the
congregation of Temple Sinai, gather
ed at the home Of Mr.. and Mrs. Hem
~ ID. Earnett on Warren street, and
there observed the domestic service,
as one large family. The symbols of
the lamb and bitter herbs were OBJ
served at this time by a lamb bone
and by parsley. Services were held
at the synagogue this morning and
will be held on next Monday morning,
and the evening preceding it, these
final services being in celebration of
the passage over the Red Sea of the

Chamber of Commerce Notes,

The Roush Brokerage Company, Of
macon, Ca, are in the market for
two carloads or more Of yellow sweet
potatoes, and want the names Of ship
pers Of sweet potatoes in bulk. Any
farmer who can supply sweet potatoes
in any considerable quantities may get
orders by writing the above men,
toned firm or notifying the secretary
Of the Sumter Chamber of Commerce
stating the kind of potatoes, the guam
tity to be furnished, and the price.
While it is rather doubtful that
sweet potatoes a be secured in such
great quantities at present around
Sumter, nevertheless the fact that
there is q demand for sweet potatoes
for shipment in bulk to distant mar
kets is an indication that it will
probably pay to raise potatoes in suffl-
cient quantities for shipment.
The business men Of Sumter are
sleeping over their business oppor-
t~unities in not subscribing sufficient
capital to put the PARROT Milling
company plant into operation, and
to enlarge the |usefuineas Of this plant
by the addition Of a flour mill.
There are hundreds OF men in Sum-
ter, n at least seventy-five mercan-
tile establishments who can afford to
take some stock in this enterprise.
But the business men OF Sumter,
with comparatively few exceptions ap-
pear to have given up the ghost, have
cold feet" and are doing practically
nothing to help to readjust trade con-
ditions. Most Of them are crying
and %bemoaning the loss OF business
due to the European war, and most
OF them are sitting back waiting on
and hoping that u few public spirit
ed merchants and bankers, lawyers,
and doctors will put up the money to
furnish marketing and manufacturing
facilities that will put money into the
pockets Of the masses. But 1t looks
now like the few who have been put
ting up the money heretofore for the
benefit Of the overwhelming majority
of tight wads" either haven't the
money or are very much short" with
the cash.
When thousands Of bushels Of
wheat, corn. and oats, are marketed
in other towns and thousands Of dol
lars in cash trade go to other markets
the Sumter business men will have
none TO blame but their own short
sightedness and penuriousness. Plain
talk, but facts. The emergenc and
the exingencies of the occasion call
for plain talk.
boosting and optimism are all
right and help out wonderfully, but
it requires cash. hard cash, to buy
milling plants. and money has to be
spent to make money, to induce trade,
and to keep trade

A. ID. MANNING IDENTIFIED.
Young Man Who Posed us Governors

Charleston Post.
Chief Of Police Cantwell has re-
ceived letters from Alabama in reply
to his inquiries concerning A. ID. Man
ming, the young white man who was
sent to thirty days in Jail for obtain
Ing money under false p%retenses. The
as TO his identity made to the chief
OF police following the young mans
arrest.
y letter from Chief Of Police j. G..
stanford, Talladega, Ala, states that
Manning is the Sol OF Judge NJ. y.
Manning, who was formerly q circuit
Judge. and who now practices law.
The letter continues to the effect that
Judge Manning has from time to time
spent considerable money to get his
son out Of trouble similar to that in
which he was caught here, and that
the boy is believed to be mentally
unbalanced on the one subject of
cashing bogus checks.
Another letter is from the Alabama
Medical Hospital at Tuscaloosa, and
states that Manning was confined in
that hospital in January, 1915. after
his menta condition had beer inyes-
tigated by Il jury Of twelve men. His
escape from the hospital on January
IS OF this year is spoken of, and the
statement made hat no effort would
be undertaken to have him returned,
Manning will be released from Jail
hero about the middle of April. For
two days, he successfully posed as the
son Of Governor Richard 1. Manning
and his duplicity enabled him to cash
worthless cheeks. He was arrested al
the union station after he had pre-
pared to leave the city.

WOODROW WILSON.
From Harper's Weekly


A few weeks ago our inapresionist
editors were telling US that Colonel
Roosevelt had "come back" because Of
his defense Of his public career before
the Syracuse court. 1t surely was
not his fault, perhaps only his i'll luck,
that the American people suddenly
should have shifted their whole at
tention of the White House, and the
silent, self-contained man to whom
the destinies of the nation had been
entrusted. No stage could have been
set on which the contrast between the
two men could more strikingly have
been displayed The ex-president in
vited the comparison which all men
have been making, by his propensity
to condemn everything that the presl-
dent has done. The political atmos-
phere is remarkably clear right now.
Political objects stand out with WV
idness that is sometimes startling.
1t is fortunate thing for the nation
and for the world, that from the first
day of his administration, President
Wilson has so ordered his work as al
ways to have time to give to impor-
tant problems When congress ad-
iourned he set aside two weeks for a
thorough study of our relations with
the warning nations of Europe, SO
that, should a crisis come, he would
be ready to act promptly but not sud
denly The Lusitania was sunk on
Friday The president adhered to his
schoolmaster habit of spending Satur
day in holiday, quietly going over
problems that demanded his attention.
Neither did he deviate from his Gus
tom of spending Sunday in worship
and meditation. On Monday morn
ing he was ready with plan of action
which was to meet with the whole
hearted approval of the cabinet and
the enthusiastic endorsement of the
country.
The presidents character and per-
sonality have broken through the finn
silly constructed screen of artifcalp pub
lie opinion which his detractors have
been attempting to rear between him
and the rest of us. The nation is con-
tent and confident in a leadership
which voices it's highest ideals, in a
/ president whose power Of body, mind
and spirit rise with his responsible
ties.

BAp TEETH A CAUSE on CRIME?

Are defective teeth one of the causes
Of crime? Many authorities have be-
lieved there was good reason for be-
lieving so from the fact that youth
full criminals are frequently observed
to have bad teeth.
What IS more probably the case is
that the decayed teeth and the immor-
atty of these youthful criminals are
both caused by insufficient nutrition.
Defective physical development has
been almost certainly proved to be the
primary cause of much crime among
the young. Back Of that, apparently,
IS deficient and poor food.
Misdemeanors and crimes are being
traced back to a material. The delln-
ouents are not able to act normally.
Psychologists have found that arrest
ed or delayed mental development is
almost the rule among youthful Grim
mails. Of course, some may have
been taught to be bad, but the large
number of splendid cltlzens VINO were
raised in the slums shows that we have
vastly overestimated the environments
moral effect upon the healthy.
1 1t seems that the baneful teachings
of bad companions are effective in pro-
portion to the badness of the pupils
1 physique. Such boy or girl could
be taught to be good but might easily
fall under temptation in adult life.
/ One of the main effects of bad de-
velopment, bad nutrition, and infec-
ton in childhood is the defective ma
ture of the materials in the teeth.
They are practically never good in
such unfortunates, and, of course,
they increase the damage by inter-
fering with mastication and by pre-
] venting proper growth.

Your attention is called to the
change in the advertisements in this
issue and also to the new ones. The
merchants of our city appreciate your
trade and take this means of telling
you of any bargains they may have
to offer and also to announce the ar
rival of new goods which are placed
at your disposal and inspection By
closely watching the columns of this

business men who invite you to deal
with them and you can rest assured
that they will treat you right. A mer-
chant who does not care enough for
your trade to ask you to visit his
store and who does not inform you Of
the many bargains he may have to
offer is hardly worth your patronage
The progressive merchant will always
let his customers know of the arrival
of new goods at once, and the way
for our merchants to do this is thru
the columns of this paper which goes

A NEWsPA PER DUTY.

What the World has had to say Of
diplomacy in the dark has more than
domestic application. There are
newspapers in Great Britain, France,
and Germany which, in the face of
the most brutal war of all history, are
discussing as freely as they may the
! same subject.
The probability is that if the plain
people of the great nations of Europe
had been informed as to their inter-
national relations the present conflict
would have been avoided. No doubt
kaisers, czars, kings, race hatreds,
colonial policies, commercial expan-
sion with its attendant jealousies, vio-
lated treaties, old revenges, and an all
prevailing militarism have had their
part in bringing upon the earth
slaughter and devastation; but more
directly responsible than any or all of
them has been the censorship which
when not secret has been false.
With war on every hand, with war
threatened at our own doors. with
civilization reeling under the shock of
war that came like thief in the night,
we are pursuing the tragic methods
Of Europe almost without protest.
If the American press does not awak-
en- to this danger it is to be charged
with a colossal failure. The question
is not one Of locality or party or per
sons. 1t is world wide in it's applica-
ton, but in its future aspects it con-
Germs US more than any other great
people on earth.
There is enough newspaper energy
in this country to force publicity up
on the state department. There is
enough intelligence in this. country to
pass upon our foreign relations sober
" and justly. Europe is drenched in
blood, loaded with debt and stricken
with sorrow because practically. no.
body knew the awful abyss to which
a few secretive men were driving it.
The same may be said of America one
day if we do not heed the lesson
New York World.
