Governor Manning wants to amend
the warehouse law so as to provide
that managers of the warehouses in
the state system be disinterested par
ties, neither owners of the ware
houses or the cotton stored therein"
This sounds pretty good to some peo-
pie; but to us it looks like a dagger
thrust at the whole business. The
system as now established is being
built up on the inducement to cotton
producers to build their W ware
houses and become their w custo-
dams. There is no other means of
building or acquiring state ware
houses, except maybe by a big state
appropriation. Then, as we see it,
there is no better custodian Of the
cotton than the wner thereof and
the owners of the warehouse. The
bonds required of these custodians
make the cotton safe. 1t seems to us
hat if the producer were not allowed
to be interested in the warehouse eth
er as part owner or patron, the whole
thing would have to fall to the ground
and the idea would become a nullity.
If Governor Manning is really in SYM
pathy with the objects of the ware
house law, it seems to us that the
public is entitled to additional X
plantations.

Governor Manning and Prohibition.

Governor Manning and Prohibition.
The News and Courier Of Wednes-
day published the following signed
statement from Governor Manning:
My attention has been called to an
editorial in the News and Courier this
morning which deserves notice.
when the referendum bill was
passed by the legislature last winter,
l signed the bill feeling that 1t was the
right Of the people Of the state to pass
on this question. During the cam
paign last summer I declared in favor
Of local option. I have not changed
my position on that question.
THE legislature, in passing the
referendum bill fixed the time Of the
election in an off ear so that the
question would not be involved with
personal issues or any other issue. I
have felt that It was the right of the
people to decide this question or its
merits alone. I have felt that 1t was
not proper for me to take part in the
campaign involving this matter.
LAS governor l will enforce the laws
as they stand on the statute books.
This / am endeavoring to do with ev-
cry mea at my command, and this l
propose to do as long as I am COVER
nor.
Richard 1. Manning"

The Greenwood Daily Journal of
Wednesday publishes the following:
Dear Sir
I appreciate your sending me a
copy of your paper of August 81. in
which you refer to the Local option
league. l think that all right-think-
ing citizens ought to resent the effort
of foreign liquor houses to debauch
the electorate of this state, by subse-
diZing the press. If the newspapers
are ready to sell themselves to the
liquor interests, we are gon The
high ground taken by you and a num-
Der of other editors of the state can
not have but a fine effect upon the
moral n of our people.
With regard.
Yours very truly,

The strongest argument Of the gen.
Grafton against liquor is that present
ed by Great Britain, whose empire Is
in danger because Of such widespread
drunkenness. The use Of ~intoxicat-
ing liquor will ruin the individual as
we'll as the nation, and the most eff
fective way Of fighting intoxicating
liquor is by preventing it's sale.

Feeling as we do that we have not
neglected our duty as to the liquor
question, that no vote for liquor can

vote as he likes as free American cit
liens should vote.
