The bill that Hon. John l..
McLaurin, state warehouse COM
missioner, has had prepared to
require cotton graders to take
out license and providing pun
ishment by fine or imprisonment
for the undergrading Of cotton
to the extent of 25 points, is cal
culated to make cotton buyers
as well as cotton sellers, sit up
and take notice. According to
Mr.. McLaurin, the practice of
undergrading is and has always
been general and the losses to
the sellers have been greater on
account of the undergrading than
on underweighing. That Mr.. Nc.
Laurin knows what he is talking
about there is very little reason
to doubt, and if his bill becomes
a law, it will have a very mater
ial effect on the cotton trade of
South Carolina. Of course many
arguments will be advanced why
such a bill should not be passed,
but as we see it, none of them
can carry great deal of sub

WHAT'S THE UsEs

"What the h-l's the use," ex-
ploded "Uncle Joe" Cannon,
former Speaker of the National
House of Representatives, on
his return the other day from a
trip to the Hawaiian Islands,
"sending so many notes to for
eign countries -
The question fired by ''Uncle
Joe" between bites on his famous
stogie seems to be well within
reason. Protests amount to
very little unless they are back
ed by force. Nations that make
demands must be able to enforce
them if they expect to win re-
spectful attention. If the Uni
ted States had that prepared
ness which is the best insurance
for peace, we would not have
had to send more than one note
to any nation regarding our
rights.

A GOOD WORK.

The State Board of Charities
and Corrections, created by the
last general assembly, will begin
at the earliest possible date a
survey of every institution in
South Carolina, over which it
has visitorial and advisory pow
ers. 1t has already made a pre-
liminary study of the State hos
pital for the insane and the PEN
itentiary. But, before the State
wide survey can be undertaken
in a thorough-going way, it will
be necessary to determine what
kinds of data about institutions
will be of greatest use to the
State. To find this out. the board
and it's officers are studying the
reports of a number of boards of
charities in other States, max
ing comparisons, etc. Albert S.
Johnstone, secretary of the
South Carolina board, will visit
especially successful boards and
institutions in other states to get
airst. hand view of their methods
of work.
A survey of the penal, charit-
able and correctional institutions
of South Carolina will disclose
the real conditions in them and
will enable the State Board of
Charities and Corrections to CO.

BRYAN. QUITS CABINET.

The papers brought a great
sensation this morning on the
war situation, Secretary Of
State Bryan yesterday rendered
his resignation to President Viii.
son rather than sign the note
which the president prepared
and which has been approved by
the other members Of his Cabi
net, to be sent to Germany as a
rejoinder to the German note on
the sinking Of the Lusitania and
the rights of Americans to travel
on non-combatant ships. The
president promptly accepted the
resignation. The resignation, as
we'll as the letter of acceptance,
contained expressions of regret,
but the lack of national princi.
Piles cannot be covered up with
beautiful phraseology. The cold
and bare fact remains that Mr..
Bryan has quit his chief in a
crisis, when the honor of the
American nation and the liberty
of Our republic is being ruth
lessly trampled under foot.
American citizens are being
murdered by being sent to the
bottom of the. sea, by German
submarines, against all the
rights of international law, and
Mr.. Bryan is crying for peace.
Who wants peace any more than
Woodrow Wilson. We. all want
peace. We do not want war,
but we also want national honor.
We do not want national coward
lice. The note to Germany is
not yet published, but it doubt.
less means something-dignity,
honor, conservatism, humanity
and Justice. Woodrow Wilson
prepared it, and his Cabinet
have approved it
Mr.. Bryan has GRATED a greas
deal about the warrior the indie
pendence of the United States.
We wanted peace then, but lib
erty was better. Nobody wants
war, but possible war with ma
tional honor Is far preferable to
peace with national dishonor.
The limit to which Germany will
go is the place at which she will
be stopped. She has reached
that limit, and Woodrow Wilson,
great, wise, liberty loving,
peace loving and God-fearing
man. as the official spokesman
of the American nation, will tell
her so. Let the words be
spoken.
Mr.. Bryan's action is a sur
prise to many, but not to those
who have studied the man care
fully from the beginning Of his
national career. Remember that
he has been thrice repudiated by
the American people for the
presidency. Vox Populi Vox

pay you. I have seen it put
around as late as the twentieth
of June with good results, am
anxious to see the new farmers
succeed along with the old plan
ters, this information will do
the old ones good too, as good
many of them are in the same
condition Of the new planters.
No one has the tobacco interest
of this county more at heart
than 1. Some may be ready to
say that am giving this advice
purely from a selfish stand
point, this is not true, I>fully re-
alize that if we get the people
South and West of Manning to
plant tobacco to any extent
that they must not be allowed to
make a failure in the beginning.
7 am anxious to see everybody
succeed, we are also anxious to
build up a large market here at
your county seat. Not for the
tobacco warehousemen but for
the town of Manning. The to
bacco industry has certainly
been a great help to tlose who
have been planting for the last
seventeen or eighteen years.
The farmers last year who sue
ceeded in growing tobacco were
not hit last fall like our friends
who had none. Since getting
back from Kentucky where l
was employed to auctioneer for
two warehouses, and where l
saw more than twenty five mil
lion pounds sold for goodal living
prices, I have been asked many
times by farmers will tobacco
bring anything this fall? My
answer has been every time to
Judge the future by the past, we
have been raising tobacco in this
county almost twenty years, and
it has paid every year with the
exception of 1908. Has cotton
any better record than this? l
have also those thai have asked
the above question that if they
did not give their tobacco the
right attention that they certain
IL would not succeed. | have
already seen some fields that
have been neglected. I will
further say that we can not tell
what the European war will do
for our prices, but we have got
to take this chance. not ouly
with tobacco but with king cot
ton, who himself as we'll as
bright tobacco is an export gen
tlemen largely. I have men
toned this fertilizer question tc
several farmers recently. and
some will attend to it. I was
with an old pianeer this morn
ing for a few minutes and asked
him how the boys were getting
along on Santee? And I asked
about his tobacco which he said
was fine. The gentleman is H.
A. Allsbrooks, one of the old
River growers. He has been
planting since 1898. He says
bar of and use more fertilizer is
the thing to do. OF course this
isn't needed in every case, a per
son can tell by the way his weed
looks.
Yours truly,

GOOD TIMES.

GOOD TIMES.
A man does not have to be an
.optimist to see good times now.
First there are crops, upon
which the trade and prosperity
of the country so largely de.
pend. This years crops will be
above last years. Some will
command higher prices; the av-
erage will be fully as high and
values will be better balanced.
The winter wheat acreage is
the greatest planted IN the his
tory of the United States and
the acreage of spring wheat is
considerably increased over last
year. Reports from many points
say that favorable conditions as
sure bumper yields of all grains.
a wet may has been fine for the
growing crops in general. The
damage done IN some regions is
more than Offset by improved
prospects in others.
Exports of corn and wheat to
Europe are still high and con-
tracts for wheat to be delivered
from the next crop are being
made at good prices However,
there is more than the European
demand to be considered. Our
own markets are so much better
this year that even should Rus
sia get her wheat through the
Dardanelles aud bring prices
down 25 cents a bushel, the re-
suit cannot be serious in this
country. Indications are that
the average farm income will be
considerably higher than last
year, when much of the grain
was marketed before the war
caused prices to go high, and
dealers got a large part of the
rise. instead of the farmers.
Manufacturing has been pick
ing up. which means more men
employed and more money paid
out. The effect of this is to
greatly improve our own mark
cts. At the beginning of the
buying season last year the war
caused a general scare and peo-
pie as a result bought only what
they regarded as being absolute
~ necessary. There will be
double buying because the pur-
chases were so short last year.
People are out of debt and have
the money to spend. A note
worthy feature of the business
revival is the manner IN (which
the South has been coming into
the markets for shoes, clothing,
farm equipment and the like.
The cotton States were bit hard
est by the war, but conditions
have been steadily improving.
Sending immense quantities Of
products abroad and reducing
imports, we have piled up an
enormous trade and cash bal
ance in favor of the United
States. The country's excess
Of merchandise exports over i'm
ports amounted to 851 million
dollars for the ten months end
with April. The month of May
has brought it up to over 900
million dollars. Foodstufs have
led in exports, of course. Arms
and ammunition made only a
small part of the total of the
last ten months.
We are no longer paying debts
to the Old World. And when
the war ends and Europe begins
to rebuilding, American supplies
will be in still greater demand.

Bryan Resigns
Wilson, S Cabinet!
Secretary Of State Resigns Rather
Than Sign Note This Country
Will Send To GERMANY

Washington, June 8. William
Jennings Bryan, three times
Democratic candidate for the
Presidency of the United States,
and author of nearly thirty
peace treaties with the princi-
pal nations of the world, re-
signed today as Secretary of
State as a dramatic sequel 10
his disagreement with Presi-
dent Wilson over the Govern
ment's policy toward Germany.
The resignation was accepted
by the President. The Ca binet
then approved the response
which had been prepared to the
German reply to the Lusitania
note. Acting Secret6ry Robert
Lansing will sign the document
and tomorrow it will be cahled
to Berlin.
Secretary Bryan will return
to private life tomorrow, when
his resignation takes effect. It
was learned that he intends to
continue his political support of
the President.
Rather than sign the document
which he believed might possi-
bly, draw the United States into
war. Mr.. Bryan submitted his
resignation in a letter declaring
that "the issue involved is of
such moment that to remain a
member OF the Cabinet would be
as unfair to you as it would be
to, the prevention of war. -
The President accepted the
resignation in a letter of regret,
tinged with deep personal feel
ing of affection. The letters
constituting the Official an.
nouncement of Mr.. Bryan's de-
parture from the Cabinet TO pri-
vate life, were made public at
the White House at 6 o'clock to
night. They follow:

BEGIN TRANSFER
 OF FEDERAL MONEY
By Hop

Washington, March 1S-Transfer of some of the government money now on deposit in national banks, to the treasury. with view to redepositing it later in federal reserve banks has been begun by direction of Secretary McAdoo.
 There is about $56. 900 now on deposit with national banks, which can be trans- fevred. but so far only a comparatively small amount has been touched. It was explained tonight by treasury officials that the transfers to date have been from banks which had more government money than they could use under present conditions.
 When the plan for transfer of funds to reserve banks was preached last fall several members of the federal reserve board were understood to have indicated their objection unless such funds were distributed throughout the system. The distribution is made, probably several weeks hence, all the banks will be con sidered.
 Tn addition to funds now in national banks, the treasury can deposit possibly S100, coo 600 more now in it's vaults or in treasury offices outside Washington. Pos sibly $2O,00000O or $25,000,000 would be kept there.
 The federal reserve banks receiving gov ernment deposits would act as fiscal agents for the government. Whether they must pay the per cent interest now charged national banks government deposits will be determined later by Sec Ietary McAdoo.
