II may be argued that to retain the islands would
be a breach OF faith toward the Filipino people and
that they do not consider to their interest that our
sovereignty continue There would be no breach of
faith. for nobody with authority to speak has ever
promised independence to the islands, is certain
that the responsible propertyowning element there
would not gladly welcome our permanent occupation.

less than thirteen per cent OF the land

eighty-seven per cent by tenants at

the reverse is true Ninety per cent Of

THE SOUTHERN COTTON OIL CO.
The Newberry Branch One of Largest
and Most Successful in the State.

The Southern Cotton Oil company
has at Newberry one of the largest
and most successful Of its South caro-
lima plants. This mill was started as
a local enterprise when cotton Oil mill
business first began to attract the at
tention of the people Of this section,
and it was for some time very sue
cessful enterprise. 1t was absorDed
BY the big Southern Cotton Oil com
pany at the time when so many of the
mills in the state were experiencing
such hard time in business that con-
soli6ation was regarded as imperative.
Since that time the Southern Cotton
Oil company has been very successful
in its operations and has built up the
demand for oil products to its present
commanding position. The Southern
has not asked nor expected monopoly
of the business, and has managed its
mill in Newberry just as the other
mills of the state are run. THE farm
ers have found here ready sale for
their seed at the best prices, and a
liberal exchange offer for fertilizers.
The Southern Cotton Oil company has
in connection with it's mill the usual
we'll equipped and economical ginnery,
where farmers can have their seed cot
ton handled with dispatch and in a
perfectly satisfactory manner.
Mr. l.. w. Floyd is the manager OF
the mill. He is a native Of Newberry,
and has always been most highly
es steemed and public spirited citizen.
He has been in charge of this plant
for a long time and is we'll known
among the farmers Of this and sur
rounding counties who deal in New
berry.
The plant is located on the railroad
with connection to both roads for the
prompt dispatch of business.

TATE WAREHOUSE SYSTEM;
ITS WORK AND GROWTH
CONTINUED from Page 26.)

our labor and its fruits, to develop
good living and sweet prosperity for
our people as whole.
I'VE have seen cotton within the
past year go from fiie cents to twelve
cents a pound. What is the use OF
talking about the law of supply and
demand, with a luctuation in price OF
more than 100 per cent? WHAT does
that mean? Not that there was over
production of cotton, but that the price
went down because Of faulty distri-
button and the contraction of credit,
and that it went up because of loos-
ening up of credit through the federal
reserve banking system,
The farmers of the South should
unite, and place cotton, through legis-
lative action, upon safe, stable basis.
1t would be better for the manu-
facturer, because he would then be
spared the necessity of hedging his
contracts in the future market, and
it would destroy the gambling in cot
ton, which is responsible right now for
the heavy decline in price.
I'VE need to understand finance as
it relates to cotton, far more than
warehouses. This great war has dem
onstrated one thing-that money is not
merely gold, but the real money of a
country are its products-the things
that feed and c,otne mankind, and that
in a great stress and strain like the
present the nations have very little re-
gard for gold.
THE money of this country belongs
to the people of this country. 1t is
made by their agent, the government,
whose fiat imparts the legal tender
quality without which it is not money.
The true function of money is meas
ure of value in exchanging the fruits
of labor. l believe that money should
be issued by the government as nearly
direct to the people as possible. II
all the Southern states would lnaugu-
rate warehouse systems on the same
lines as South Carolina, We can have
money issued by the governmest on
warehouse receipts, not as political
necessity or courtesy, but as matter
of right. The pound of cotton should
be the unit of credit, and it should
be the same in one mans hands as in
another's, entitled to the same rights
and to the same privileges, and every
man know definitely just what those
fights and privileges are.
"Up to now," continued Senator
McLaurin, South Carolina has had the
burden of this fight They have the
system in Texas, and the Georgia leg
islature is row considering it, at an
extra session. If North Carolina and
the other states will go into It, we
could have an interstate board, which
would establish a minimum price for
cotton, and never again will it be nee
essary to sell bale of cotton below
the cost of production.
Taking up the matter of direct sales,
cutting out the profits Of middle men
and spectators, Senator McLaurin
said that it must be remembered that
we do not grow cotton to warehouse,

but to sell, and in this connection he
also urged state regulation Of grading
10 save the heavy drain now upon the
Southern farmers from consistent un-
Degrading of cotton by local buyers.
"The greatest burden that the South
has labored under" he said, "has been
the lack of capital. We have the great
est money crop on earth. We nave
given a practical demonstration in
South Carolina of how easy it is to
convert cotton into negotiable secu-
rity as good as any railroad or state
bond. Through the federal reserve
system, we have made break in the
interest of rates. 1t is high interest
rates which enable the drones and
parasites to devour the workers. The
new currency law is the first great
step, and the next step is to contlne
banks to their only legitimate func-
ton. to-wit: as a channel for the dis
tribution of money and credits. 1t is
the beginning of true national bank
ing system, not for personal profit, but
to develop the nation. Our great need
is money at a low rate on long time
based upon land, to be used only for
improvements or purchases Of home
steads. Then for commercial purposes,
warehouse receipts for non-perishable
farm products as collateral for short
time loans.
81 believe that this great war no"
in progress and the unexpected
strength shown by Germany and
France, as contrasted with England, IS
due to their different management OF
the land question, and unless we do
something to avert it, the same dis
aster will overtake the United States.
This country can not exist except as
