Watch McLaurin.-Wareh Com

Watch Observation-Disclosures Com
missioner John L. McLaurin may not
consciously entertain political ambi-
tions, but he is nevertheless one Of the
livest political figures in the state at
the present time. We have never been
a follower or admirer Of Mr.. Nc
Laurin and cannot be accused of par
tiality or prejudice in his favor, but 1t
is evident that he is coming back as a
leader as the result Of his efforts and
achievements as the father of the cot
ton warehouse system. The warehouse
system is something tangible that has
attracted public attention to marked
degree and the practical results are
building up for Mr.. McLaurin repu-
tation as a constructive statesman. He
is growing into the confidence OF the
rank and file of the people. Whether
or not he has earned the credit he is
receiving is neither here nor there. but
the facts are as stated. If the drift
toward McLaurin continues and If his
always numerous friends put him in
the race for the United States senate
TO succeed Senator Tillman, he Will
be a strong factor in the campaign.
McLaurin is the man that others with
budding senatorial aspirations have to
fear. Watch McIaurin.-Sumter Item.

Police Would Get 1.-THE talk OF
parents at home about conditions in
the police department made a deep i'm.

boy who was before Judge f. l.. Lahr

relates the indianapolis News. The
court had lectured the boy and his
three companions on the disgrace OF
stealing and finally asked the boys
what they thought about stealing.
Now, suppose everybody were tC

what do you think would be come OF

"Oh, the police would get every

McLAURIN IN ATLANTA
Tells Georgia Solons About State
Warehouse System.


Senator McLaurin returned from
Atlanta this morning, and said that
the warehouse bill was in charge of
Senator Adams Of the state senate and
Of Representative r. G. Shipp Of the
house; that both Senator Adams and
Mr. Shipp expressed themselves very
confidently of the bill passing with
very little trouble through the house;
that there was some doubt about the
senate. Senator McLaurin spoke on
Thursday afternoon in the hall Of the
house of representatives to the JOINT
agricultural committees, and there
was almost a full attendance Of the
legislature. After the speech was con-
cluded, for more than an hour and a
half he answered questions about the
warehouse act. He said: II think that
answering these questions had a great
ment than the speech. had good
deal to say about acceptances, and
called attention to the fact that New
York was the only state whose law
permitted these bank acceptanceS, and
that it had only been in effect in New
York since the amendment to their
banking laws passed last October.
called attention to the banking IA
cilities in Atlanta, the presence Of a
reserve bank, and the geographical
situation, and pointed out to them that
if they would amend the Georgia law
that these receipts could be handled
from the other states as we'll through
Atlanta as New York. The chairman
of the banking and currency commit
tee, who was present, asked me a good
many questions, and said that he was
going to put bill through at this
session of the general assembly simi-
lar to the New York law.
II accepted an invitation to address
the full general assembly next day
but | was completely tired out Thurs
day afternoon and not very we'll sc
| suggested to Senator Adams and Mr.
Shipp that they get the bills reported
from the committee and that l would
come back to Atlanta and discuss the
measure as reported on my way tc
Montgomery.
IF you will note in this mornings
paper a dispatch from Washington or
the cotton situation, you will realize
the Importance Of what is going on In
Alabama and Georgia.
1T will be a great deal easier tc
pass this law in Georgia than it was
in South Carolina. 1t was a great
pleasure to me to discuss this impor.
tant measure on it's merits, withou,
the personal and political prejudice
that l have encountered at every steI
in this state."-Columbia Record, Sat.

When Figures Lied.-"Joe' Tinker
manager Of the Chicago Federals
was entertaining some friends with
baseball stories, says the Sunday
Magazine. One Of them was about a
game between Mobile and Savannah in

row occurred and the umpire awarded
the game to Mobile by the usual to

Extinguisher. 1t will extinguish fires
caused by electricity or gasoline-in
fact any fire in it's incipiency. Every
automobile should carry one-the in

that carry them, but the owner OF the

one, or may need it, even worse than
the fellow who carries insurance. The
price of the Extinguisher with bracket
to attach to car. is $3.50.

SHARON. S. G.
1T is NOT WHAT YOU MAKE:
BUT WHAT YOU SAVE. that makes
YOU RICH.
Sometimes people get rich by other
means than Saving; but no matter
how rich they get, they do not stay
that way unless they SAVE.
Remember Coal Oil Johnny. He
inherited millions as the result OF
lucky oil strike: but he lost them be-
cause he would not SAVE. Remem-
Der Russell Sage. He would not BUY
a dollar shirt if he could make a sew
enty-five cents shirt dc.
Johnny was spendthrift and Sage
was a miser. We do not advise you
to be like either of them. However,
we would teach that freedom from
debt and cash on hand is independ-
ence.
And the way to have Cash on hand
is TO SAVE all you get that you do not
actually need.

THE FATE OF POLAND

IT was Thomas Corwin who, nearly seventy years ago, warning
the United States Senate against all suggestions of the annexation OF
Mexico, referred to Napoleon "a the blind instrument of Providence
for that he forced Russia, Austria and Prussia to atone for their dis
memberment of Poland. He spoke of the wrath that was past-the
uprising Of the Polish patriots themsdves-and predicted a greater
wrath to come. But none of his predictions of a free Poland, and the
predictions OF no other statesman or historian, have imagined the res
toration of free Poland as the result of strife among the three powers,
that, in the latter half of the eighteenth century, united for the parh-
ton of the coveted country and the subjugaton of her brave people.
Thus it is that the climax of the Austro-Germans' remarkable drive
in Eastern Europe may make history of the most impressive and signi-
fcant character CONFERENCE.-The gaining of a peoples independence.
1t is not to be believed that the Russians a retake Warsaw, OF any
of the richest portions of their Polish provinces, ever if their plan OF
al now contemplates another massing of millions of men toward
tonic allies stand now, in relation to roland, where Napoleon stood
stances and from motives how different! The governments at Berlin,
autonomy, soliciting the aid and loyalty of the people whose cities
they seized through two centuries, whose lands they have laid waste
and whose homes they have ruined.
Yet for all anomaly of history and all this paradox of promised
benevolence, it would appear that the fate of Poland is about to be
determined as the Poles have fought and pleaded that it be determined.
1t has become commonplace to predict that this war will achieve the
universal triumph OF democracy-qute as gradually, perhaps, as has
been the spread of popular government since the American revolution,
but nevertheless surely, and with the causes and catastrophes and
royalst-ordered barbariies of this wal as the underlying motive. And
whether or not any OF these promises of Polish autonomy shall be
kept, certain it is that in the day OF greatest triumph for democracy
no power of Europe will find it desirable to hold the territory as a
province and its liberty-lovng men as subjects! If liberty is not soon
granted by reason of a royal promise 1t will be forced 10y reason of tin
peoples passion for it at time when resistance will be most difficult
