The close OF the first week Of the ex-
pertinent Of converting the New York
Hippodrome into motion picture the
atrc brings from tho management re-
markable statement.
Erected primarily as the peoples the
atre, equipped to cater to the masses
on broad lines impossible elsewhere on
earth, the Hippodrome has been con-
sidercd as justifying its existence when
it played to 10000 persons a week I'M
der the old system. Now it apparently
has Just come into its own, for the
ticket boxes for the first week show
total attendance of 13S,209 paid adj
missions, or an average of 19,747 day.
There were certain hours on many
days when thousands were turned
away because there were no seats 10
accommodate them and other hours
under the continuous system when the
house was far from full. The Shuberts
feel that when their plans are fully
22,500 persons q day.
Another film record has been made
at the Liberty Theatre. where "The
Birth Of a Nation" Is settled for long
the first three weeks 2,l3S offers of
bookings or purchase of territorial
rights for the spectacle were received
by d. W. Griffith. None has been ac-
cepted.
Careful tally shows how widespread
is TIE demand for "The Birth of Ma
ton" From Great Britain, Spain,
Portugal, Italy, Switzerland, the Scan
dinayian countries, the Balkan States,
Australia, India, China, Japan, South
America. South Africa. Persia and

It is against the law OF this State for
any person to plough or drag ploushs
upon the public highways, or in any.
manner to obstruct the bitches and
drains made by the road authorities.
1t is also against the law in Clarendon
County for any person to cut any ditch
across any of the public highways
without first obtaining written permit
from the County Board Of Commission
ers. All persons are hereby cautioned
against the violation Of any OF these
laws. For the past two years I have
warned the people of the County, but
have not prosecuted anyone. However,
! have instructed the Rural policemen,
and all others in authority, to rig;dly
enforce the law, and all farmers are re-
quested TO cooperate with me in en-

says that he was paying $40
per hundred on his cotton, and
that when the warehouse was
taken over by the state, the. in
surance was reduced to S1.75
per hundred. Perhaps some
of the combination who furnish
bread and butter to The Records
editor are in the insurance busi.
ness and object to cheaper in
surance.
9th. Senator Banks also pub
fishes a statement showing that
he is getting storage at a cost
under ten cents, against thirty
five cents charged by Mr.. Ed.
Robertson's Standard Ware

state. No wonder McLaurin is
villifed, and that the attempts
made to belittle him, when he is
fighting for low interest rates,

spinner at home and abroad.
l have heard OF a shipment of
cotton from New Orleans that
netted thirteen cents per pound.
over and above all charges,
when the price in New Orleans
was seven cents; and another
/ from Savannah that netted four
teen cents. If these parties can
'|seil abroad, why should not the
farmers of this state do the
same? Thirty dollars per bale
profit! Never since time,
l have jobbers, spectators and
others, who never produce cot
ton, made such killing as they
are now making out of the.
| planters of cotton. They will

rob them out of four hundred
million dollars of this crop.
i So far as the editor of the
Columbia Record is concerned,
he is worthy of his hire, with
nothing remarkable except ver-
bosity, as cheap in wit as he is
poor in person, with no views
save such as tend to the inter-
tests Of his master:
"Svelled by contact ofsuch fulsome
I toad,
He lugs about the editorial load,
Which he doth use, in the old sneak
ing way,
Drinking all night and doing all
the day."

CAPITOL CORRESPONDENCE.

Columbia, S. c., Jan. 23rd 1915:
The week just past did very
little towards legislating on &C.
count of the Inauguration and
the several elections, but the
work for the session is now in
good shape for continuous.
and uninterrupted grind.
The Inauguration of Cover,
nor Manning was carried out
with the usual ceremony attend
ed by large crowds from all ov-
er the State, especially from
Sumter. Quite number from
Manning was present, including
Mayor Bradham, and Messrs.
Charlton DuRant. DR.. G. L..
Dickson, T. M. Wells, L. l..
Wells, .Chub" Plowden, G. W.
Wells, and others. +.
New Zion was represented by
s. H. DuBose, and Judge W. B..
Flemming, Pinewood was also
in evidence, and so was the
Fork section. l was very busy
that day with committe matters
which kept me from having the
opportunity of mingling with
) the home folks as should have
liked to do, as it is always a
pleasure to greet my friends
when in the eapito! city.
I transmitted to Governor
Manning the names OF those
nominated in the primary for
Treasurer, Auditor and the Mag
istrates and { presume that by
now they have been notified OF
the appointment. I also sent
him for appointment the names
selected by Auditor Burgess for

prominent figures in those nor
rible days in this state Patter-
son, Hurley, Robertson, Chain
berlain, Elliott, Gleves, Moses
and a number of others. Robert
son and Moses were not aliens,
they were what in those days
were characterized Native
Scalawags," and there is a pic
ture or cartoon in existence
which represents United States
Senator Robertson getting off of
a, vehicle with bis valise stuffed
with South Carolina bonds au-
thorized by the Radical Legisla-
ture when this government was
in the control of the Patterson,
Robertson, Harleys M os es,
Chamberlain's and others Of the
pilfering gang, and it is from
the outrage perpetrated by these
wolves of immortality that South
Carolina is groaning under the
burden of a state debt.
When McLaurin advocated
measures and policies which jeal-
Gus politicians took advantage
of to prejudice the public mind
by saying it was Commercial
Democracy" another name for
Republicanism, they played the
same role that The Record is
endeavoring to do now-mislead
by appealing to prejudice, but
''a Loo. Loo" hand can only be
played once. McLaurin's COM
mercialism caused him to be the
victim of jealousy, and it check
ed his political ambition for a
time; but, with a descendent of a
lieutenant of the crew that scut-
tied our ship OF state, that is
enabled by the fortune gathered
from looting South Carolina's
treasury, aided by federal bayo-
nets: to buy newspapers and
hire editors to build sentiment
and deliver san ultimatum to
the general assembly. I would
commend to The Record editor
to take a look al the cartoon re-
fered to herein, and then ask
himself if his barking back to
| the days of commercial democ-
racy does not revive the memory
of the days of good stealing
which may have a financial bear
ing on his present Saturday
night pay envelope.
But since The Record has seen
fit to try to prejudice the ware
houses system by alading to
McLaurin's political career what
does he base it upon?
McLaurin was about ten years
ahead of his time. He saw, and
had the courage to point out, the
fallacy of free silver. Later
Bryan cast it aside, and it is no
longer an issue. Ship subsidies
we're advocated, and McLaurin
was denounced for that. Now
President Wilson is trying to
force a Bill through Congress to
actually purchase ships that we
have a merchant marine; if ff-
teen years ago, measures had
been adopted to develope an
American merchant marine, an
embargo on cotton shipments
would not have paralized our in.
dustries as soon as war was de-
elared, and today the United
States would be master of the
high seas so far as commerca Z:
concerned.
The whole truth is McLaurin
is a real statesman, with a strong
constructive mind, and such men
are always hated aud feared by
small politicians; and those who

being pursued by The Record.
But let's get the warehouse prop
osition.
The editor of The Record de-
clares that the present warehouse
system is failure. Let US see.
1st. The Legislature appro-
priated $4,000. McLaurin has
spent only $1,000. and the stor-
age is sufficient to meet that ex-
pense: so that it will not cost the
State a cent.
End. He opened up the ques-
ton of the discount of agricui-
tural notes through the Federal
Reserve system. and the aualys-
is of the new currency law, by
McLaurin, printed in the Colum-
bia State of December 9, and re-
published in other newspapers
in South Carolina, IS the clear
est and strongest paper I have
ever seen on the subject.
3rd. The only six-months pa
per discounted IN South Caro-
lima are notes secured by State
warehouse receipts.
4th. The Record editor whines
that this is not a part of Nc
Laurin's duty; that be should
confne his efforts to "warehous-
ing cotton" Yes; that is the
"lnilk in the cocoanut. 1t does
not suit Mr.. Ed Robertson; the
owner Of The Record, the stand:
ard warehouse, and the Colum-
bia canal, and largely interested
in the big cotton Mills, that any
thing should be done except
through them-but more anon.
5th. In the matter of inSur-
ance, McLaurin has secured ma
terial reduction on cotton in
state warehouses. Senator

Then too, The Columbia
Record, owned by stockholders
of cotton mills and national

cred nearly a whole page in try
ing to force this legislature to
repeal the warehouse Act. This

|bond issue was under considera-
ton, and now, in order, to ac-
complish the purposes of his
employers, he sneeringIy refers

Commercial Democracy" If
this editor, while in the mood of
hardening back to other days,
would only go a little farther,
and take a look at the picture OF

The criminal wastefulness Of pub
lie money is being brought to light
and goes to show that the state
university is a mighty expensive
luxury for the taxpayers. A tract
of land of I46 acres was wanted
for that institution to add to its
farm for agricultural purposes to
make more expense. The land was
probably worth, at more than
fair appraisal, not to exceed S22 5
per acre, bur the state paid the
enormous sum OF $4,000. The
land, if the writer's memory is not
at fault, is sandy and bluffy. 1t
is only one of many other land pur-
chases by the university at prices
way beyond actual value. The
legislature should give it a thor
ough investigation, get rid of a lot
of drones and put its management
in the hands of business men.

The Supreme court of this state

idates many constitutional provis-
ions. amendments to the state con-
stitution adopted of late years un-

ter of the state forestry depart

and the decision is so wide in its
scope that the amendment provid-

the Supreme court from five to
seven and increasing their pay is
invalidated and the two addition
al members can step down and out
and all can return to the state
treasury the increase of salary.
