McLAURIN REPORTS
UPON WAREHOUSING
Says That Only His Recourse to Publicity Pre-
vented South Carolina From Failing Into Hands of Tre-
mendous Combine Wishes Grading Standardized

Columbia.-That the state cotton
warehouse commissioner should be
elected by the people and not by the
general assembly Is the most strik.
Ing recommendation made by John L..
McLaurin, commissioner, in his an.
maui report which was sent to the
general assembly
Among the suggestions made by the
commissioner are:
II suggest an appropriation for cur
rent expenses in accordance with the
estimate furnished by the comptroller
general. A large portion of this
would come back to the state upon
the collection Of storage for cotton

above, l am convinced that during the
following year the state can be REIN.
bursed for the total amount expended
on the system from the date Of its
Inauguration.
II suggest an amendment provid.
ing for the licensing Of all graders in
the state, and forbidding any person
to purchase cotton. either for himself
or as an agent, unless such cotton
shall have been weighed by a sworn
weigher and graded by licensed
grader"

Il have referred several times In

When your kidneys get sluggish and

has been viewed with alarm and the
corporate interests which have fat
tened at the expense Of those who
grow the cotton have waged battle
throughout the South such as only
could have been waged by combined
millions.
There is tremendous combine in
Georgia, Oklahoma, Mississippi and
Alabama, seeking not only to concen.
trate the cotton in Atlanta, but to
parcel out the territory and fix the
price. They are now invading the
State Of South Carolina to take the
Standard Warehouse into the com.
bine. When appeared before the
legislature the statement was freely
made to me that this was an effort to
head off the recognition Of the stor.
age Of cotton through state ware
houses. The success Of this corpora.
tion movement will parcel out the cot
ton territory and concentrate the
money power, with the federal reserve
system at It's back, just where 1t has
been since 1865, while the success Of
the plan upon which South Carolina is
proceeding means the liberation of
the people"
Commissioner McLaurin next
quotes from call which he alleges
was sent out by Philip H. Shaw to
the shareholders of the Standard
Warehouse OF Columbia Mr.. McLaur.
In says that the call was for the avow.
ed purpose "of taking the Standard

Concerning the alleged warehouse
merger, Mr.. McLaurin says:
VI course, the real purpose is tC

Wake Up!

1t is strange that while this
county is in better fix financially
than most any county in the state
the other papers are filled with
advertising and the merchants
here do almost none at all. Most
Of them do absolutely none.
Don't blame the farmer for sending
his money off to mail order
houses as long as you refuse to let
him know you are in business and
what kind of business you are in.
Thousands of dollars leave the
county every year that would re-
main here if the merchants would
even in a smaller way use the
methods to get business that the
mail order houses are sconstantly
using. If the farmer were to just
put his seed in the ground and
then sit back and do nothing to
ward making a crop you would
think him very poor business
man and yet you are doing practi
cally the same thing. To open a
store is not all you have to do to
get business. If you will get to
work and advertise and be salts
fed to wait reasonable time for
results as the farmer waits for his
crop to mature and not expect to
get the results before the paper
comes out you will find that you
can and will do great deal more
business. No man wears a broad
er smile than the man in the
country when he reads an article
in paper advising him to trade at
home and looks for the advertise
ment of the home merchant and
does not find it. Wake up, Mr..
Merchant, and probably you may
