1t is said by those who we're near
third that it was an easy out. Had
the decision been in favor of Eureka
it would have been three men down
and the chances are Eureka would
have won. The game was finished at

Eureka Plays Buckhorn To-day

Eureka Plays Buckhorn To-day
The Eureka team left by auto for
Buckhorn this morning. where the
two clubs will cross bats for the first
time at 2:30 this afternoon. 1t is
said that Buckhorn has a very strong
team, and this, of course, suits our
boys exactly. A return game will
be played on the Eureka grounds the
Fourth of July.
During the Fourth of July celebra-
ton in Eureka this year. it is planned
to hold a baseball tournament. The
participants will probably be the Eu-
reka, Buckhorn and Austin teams,
and possibly another team, or per-
haps two, from the main line.
Arrangements have been made to
get the returns from to-day's Buck
horn game by wire. and the result
will be announced in Eureka as soon
as the game shall have been played.

The Game With Beowawe

The game with Beowawe on the
the following morning was a very
good one. though not nearly so excit-
ing. The Eureka boys were not COM
pletely rested from the game the day
before and were therefore not as
fast in this game. Cardinalli pitched
8 innings of the game, and, while he
was not as fast as on Saturday. he
did excellent work throughout the
game.
The game vas clean and fast. four
innings were played without a score
on either side. Hamilton, the Beo-
wave pitcher, did good pitching
throughout the game and was reason
ably well supported, though they
were lacking in team work. This of
course is due to a lack of practice.
Beowawe was invited to visit Eu-
reka in a return game, but it has not
been definitely settled when it will
be played. for the reason that it is
very difficult for some of their play
ers to get leave of absence from the
railroad company for a sufficient
length of time to come to Eureka.
The boys will, however. be pleased to
play them at their convenience.
The following is the lineup and
score of the game with Beowawe.

"Out of our two and one-half to
three billion bushels Of corn only
about seventeen per cent ever leaves
the farm; the balance of it is con-
sumed at home. No crop on earth
creates such vast international COM
merce as cotton, and for that reason
it has become, to large extent, the
medium Of exchange between this
country and the balance of the world,
taking the place Of gold in the settle
ment of International trade balances.
Cotton is in class by itself, and pos
sesses more Of the attributes of legal
tender currency than anything pro-
duced by human labor. It is the cor
ner stone of International finance,
and can not be compared to wheat,
corn, meat, or anything of that Sort

houses, which are denominated by
numbers, from one on up, uniform
blanks, tags, report blanks, etc. Each
day tnat cotton is taken in or deliv-
cred, the manager makes report of the
transactions to the office of the COM
missioner, where a record is kept of
each bale of cotton on storage, with its
marks, weight and grade, and to whom
receipt has been issued for it.
The state charges the local ware
houses three cents per bale per month,
which is more than offset in the fol-
lowing manner:
The state receipt has proved its su-
periority as a collateral in the money
centers of the country Each receipt
is signed by the manager of the local
warehouse and by the state warehouse
commissioner, and bears the seal of
the state. 1t carries absolute title to
the cotton, thus removing the cloud
of possible liens and mortgages, and
it guarantees the weights and grades
in favor of the purchaser or the
PLEDGE. Italso certiies that the cot
ton is insured to its full market value.
In establishing the character Of the
receipt, Senator McLaurin went to
/! Washington and to New York, and
presented it personally to the federal
reserve board and to the New York
bankers. He first saw Mr.. Harding
of the federal reserve board, who cnar-
acterized the system as ga model OF
its kind" saying that in his opinion it
was "in advance of anything that has
been attempted in other Southern
states" and who last February, in an

place it under the automatic policies
until its present policies expire. The
Pomaria and Little Mountain ware
houses each deposit with the state
warehouse commissioner a sum which
is credited to their insurance account.
Let US take the Pomaria house as an
example. An estimate is made OF the
proDao4e business for several months
n auvance. The Pomaria house de-
poSlts a sufficient sum with the COM
missioner to carry its insurance pre-
NUNS for several months Each day
ne amount Of cotton it has on hand
is recorded in the office of the COM
missioner, and its value is figured on
the market price Of the cotton that
day. At the end of the month a check
for the Pomaria house is given to the
insurance companies, covering the
premium earned each day by the act
ual amount of cotton On hand that
day, at the market price that day l.
Pomaria has 100 bales of cotton today
and cotton is worth sixty dollars, it
pays today on $4,000 worth of cotton.
If it has only fifty bales tomorrow. and
cotton is worth only fifty dollars a
| bale tomorrow, it pays tomorrow on
only $4,000 worth of cotton The in
surance automatically attaches to the
cotton as soon as it is placed in the
warehouse.
Of course there has been bitter
fight by certain insurance interests
against the system, because it has cut
OH a portion OF the rich harvest they
nave been reaping at the expense of
| the producers of cotton. They haze
attacked the system, and particularly
it's insurance, at every possible point.
The system has grown in the face of
this fight because it is inherently right
in principle, and because it has been
honestly and conscientiously admins
tered by the commissioner and his as
,ociates. This insurance is placed in
high-class and reputable companies,
licensed to do business in South Caro-
lima, and operating under the laws of
this state Only one loss has been Sus-
tained since the system began opera

al Claremont, in Sumter county, sew
eral days ago. This loss was prompt
ly taken up for adjustment by the COM
panies, the basis of settlement being
the market price of cotton the day of
the fire, each bale destroyed being fig
ured at its actual market value that
day, the weight and grade of each indi-
vidual bale standing for itself. The
state insurance commissioner, in let
ter to a banker at Sumter, says of the
companies carrying the insurance on
this cotton:
The System Commended.
'I have no hesitation in saying that
the companies issuing these policies
and the others in which Mr.. White tells
me he is placing insurance are among
the very best companies licensed in
this state. In my opinion no one need
have any fear as to the reliability of
the companies or the security of their
insurance under the policies issued by
the Companies named to me by MIR.

and not to warehouse, and the ware

These movements progress slowly, but
human progress is sure, and the pro-
cession, under the divine plan, must
go forward, even though to finite
minds, in periods Of upheaTal such as
the present, it sometimes seems that
the order has been reversed.
The state warehouse system in South
! Carolina portends the coming OF the
cotton growers into their own. Presi-
dent Wilson has expressed his "genu-
inc interest" in the work Of Senator
McLaurin; Secretary of the Treasury
! McAdoo has congratulated him upon
the result of his efforts, and leading
bankers of the United States have un-
hesitatingly commended the system
and the receipt. Other states may be
slow in following, but the movement

to be adopted. The heritage of which

crop are secured, and the cotton grow

In speaking Of the principles and

system, Senator McLaurin, when asked

( Senator McLaurin's Views.
For the second time in the history
Of the United States, cotton has been
a political as well as an economic is
sue of paramount importance The
fundamental cause of the War Between
the States in the sixties was the fact
that public sentiment outside of the
South was in favor of the abolition OF
slavery, and the election If Abraham
Lincoln was the expression Of that
sentiment. Opinion in the South was
almost unanimous that the monopoly
which we enjoyed in the production Of
cotton could not be maintained with
out slave labor. Therefore, secession
! was perfectly natural consequence.
With the breaking out of hostili-
! ties in Europe, cotton at once became
! a national question. Every thoughtful
man in the South was convinced that
it was the duty Of both state and
national government to take radical

which had been declared unconsti+u-
tional by the court, with the opinion
of the court, however, that the under
lying principle involved was not 7io-
lative either of the spirit or the letter
of the constitution.
The Act Passed.
With this long preparation and with
this close study, made possible by
ability combined with opportunities
which comparatively few men have had
presented to them, he came to the
extra session of the general assembly
of 1914, and began the tight for the
state warehouse act which was passed
and was approved by Governor Blease
on October 80 of tnat year.
The act created the state system for
which he had labored; it gave the state
warehouse commissioner ample lati-
tude for the inauguration of system
correct in principle and beautiful in
practice; but it provided only fifteen
thousand dollars for the establishment
of a system to give relief in the hand
ling of a crop upon which the pros
perity of the state is based, upon which
its business life depends, and the value
of which annually runs way up into
the millions of dollars.
Immediately upon the approval OF
the act the general assembly electea
Senator McLaurin state warehouse
commissioner on the first ballot with
out his being a candidate for the po-
sition, and he was face to face with
the problem of establishing a great
system upon this fifteen thousand dol
lars appropriation, more than twelve
thousand dollars of which was con-
verted back into the state treasury at
the end of the year by Comptroller
General Jones, leaving the commits
sioner without dollar from the first
of January until the first of March of
this year, when an appropriation of
fifteen thousand dollars for the year
1915 became available.
Warehouses could not be erected,
and they could not be leased at any
substantial rental. In the list Of the
appropriation, the thought of COM
press became as fantastic as the wild
est dream Of one in troubled sleep
whose mind has been severely over
taxed.
Today, however, there are about one
hundred and fifty warehouses in the
state system, with an aggregate ca
pacity of from two to three hundred
thousand bales; an immense quantity
Of cotton is being handled this season,
and the system continues to grow so
rapidly as to be continual source Of
wonder and surprise even to those who
hoped large things for it. How was
it done? 1t is simple in the telling
far simpler than in the evolution of
the general plan, the intricate details,
and the defensive battle against inter
ests which have been preying upon
the growers of cotton,
Here it is:
The System in Operation.
Tto state leases a warehouse at
nominal rental-one dollar per year
Manager, weigher and grader for that
warehouse are appointed by the com
missioner upon the recommendation of
the owner or those interested in the
house. These officials give bond to the
state. Generally the three positions
are combined in one person, which
centers the responsibility and saves
expense.

MuNDAY FOUND GUILTY.
Chicago Banker Convicted Of Fraud in
Conduct Of Business.

N0n0QGt OF BUSINESS.
Morris, ILL.,, Nov. 20. - Charles B.
Munday, vice president Of the La Sale
Street Trust and Savings Bank, Of
Chicago, Of which William Lorimer was
president, last night was found guilty
Of conspiring to wreck the institution
and his punishment was fixed by Jury
at five years imprisonment.
The La Sale street bank was or
ganized by Munday. and according to
charges Of the states attorney, the
name senator was capitalized as one
Of the banks assets. When the bank
failed in June, 1914. there followed the
collapse of nine other banks and trust
companies Of the so-called Lorimer-
Munday string. Fourteen persons were
indicted. Lorimer and Munday being
chief Of them. The indictments charged
them with looting the institution Of
almost $500, 900 and with violation of
practically every banking law Of the
state.
The state elected to try Munday first
and, when he contended that his as
sociations with Mr.. Lorimer precluded
fair trial in Chicago, change Of
venue to this city was granted.
Munday's rise was spectacular. He
went rapidly from manager Of a small
telegraph Office to part ownership In
eleven banks and dozen large busi-
ness concerns.
