Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1915-01-15


This date marks an anniversary that
Is peculiarly sacred to the publishers
Of The Yorkville Enquirer. because 1t
was on this date, twelve years ago,
January Is, 1903, that the late Capt. L.
NJ. Grist, who we regard as the found
er of this paper ceased his earthly la
bors and went into the reward that is
set aside for the just.
OF the life and labors Of Captain
Grist, it is not necessary to go into ex-
tensive detail for the reason that there
are so many Of his contemporaries
who are still in the land Of the living
and who stand ready to give their tes-
timony as to the extent to which he
endeavored to serve his fellowmen, his
country, and keep the faith with the
Divine Ruler of the universe, who takes
such great pleasure in the efforts OF
those of his children who earnestly
seek to do his will.
The one especial work to which Cap
tain Grist devoted his life was the es-
tablishment of a newspaper along
pure, clean and unselfish lines, which
would be a fearless and impartial
recorder of the truth so far as in its
power may lay, and which would new
er become the tool or mouthpiece OF
sinister selfish interests either Of its
publishers or others. That he lived up
to his ideal during his earthly career
regardless of any and all personal
costs that seemed to have been involv-
ed. is known of all men, and although
his successors are conscious OF the
many personal imperfections and
weaknesses that make almost impos-
sible the full attainment of the high
standards that have been set for them
they are none the less mindful OF the
great responsibility that continues to
devolve upon them. and will do their
duty as best they can.

The Warehouse System.

While in Columbia, Wednesday. the
Editor of The Enquirer called on Hon.
John l.. McLaurin, at his office in the
state warehouse down on Gervais
street. near the river, and found him
hard at work on problems connected
with the financing Of cotton.
Asked about the details Of the sys-
tenn. and as to how he was getting
along generally, Mr.. McLaurin said
that he was still taking over other
warehouses, and that the system was
growing, but unless the general assem-
bly, should see proper to enlarge the
powers of the commissioner, especial
ly as to the matter of making sales
and negotiating loans, the law may
as we'll be repealed so far as any
present or future value to the farmers
is concerned.
II is very well understood that the
$4,000 appropriation carried in the
bill that was passed at the extra ses-
sion, was barely sufficient for office
and travelling expenses necessary to
organize a system on basis OF ware
houses leased at a nominal rental and
operated by their owners, and that to
build warehouses and congresses un-
der the law, is out of the question. But
that is not the whole trouble by any
means. Although so far only three
thousand dollars have been expended,
and most of that has come out OF the
private funds of the commissioner,
within the past few days Comptroller
Gen, raj Jones has taken the position
that appropriation made by the state
could not he paid out after January |.
last. without another act Of the gener-
al assembly, and although Mr.. Nc
Laurin can see no sense whatever in
this ruling, it is possible that the mat
ter may have to be referred to the
courts for settlement.
1t is generally understood that there
are number of Legislators who are
bitterly hostile to the permanent
establishment Of the warehouse SyS-
TEN: but also it is known that others
who have heretofore fought the whole
idea have changed their views and
are now in favor Of carrying out the
ideas of Mr. McLaurin in accordance
with his original proposition. Just
how this is going to be remains for
the developments of the next few

It will be remembered that The En-

to these Irregularities at the time, and
made every effort that was in reason
to prevent the disregard Of the con-

But its efforts were without avail. A

its action involved the ignoring OF the

liams, COMPTROLLER Of the currency
John l.. McLaurin, state warehouse
commissioner, said Wednesday In SUD
stance that the Wade cotton loan plan
is of little benefit to the farmers ana
bankers Of South Carolina Commls-
sioner McLaurin received the follow-
ing message from Mr.. Williams: Let
ter 9th received. Why Is 1t that farm
ers and merchants are not ayailing
themselves to the advantages OF the
cotton fund, which have been offered
to them on terms that appear so IA
yorable both as to time and interest
rate? This fund Is only available to
those who may apply for same prior to
February l." The following Is the re-
ply Of the warehouse commissioner:
Your wire Banks assert they can not
afford to make per cent investment
as required by the B certificate, as
terms Of Wade fund forbid a charge
for arranging loan. The farmer can
borrow only cents per pound on his
cotton, and the local bank has to carry
one-fourth of this, which makes 81
cents per pound net on the cotton.
Merchants are afraid that not enough
of the fund will be used to prevent eX-
penses consuming the entire per cent
reserved, which would make the inter-
est amount to per cent. L have used
utmost effort and hope some arrang-
ments in line with my letter or 9th
possible"
