Legislature Adjourns

The 2916 session of the State
legislature adjourned Sunday
morning at 5 :35.
The Torrens system of land
registration, which passed the
house in 1915 became a law ar
this session. The working of
this important law will be ex-
planned at length in another is
sue.
What is considered one of the
foremost steps in making South
Carolina 'an agricultural State
was the enactment of the bill
by Messrs. Toole and LaGrone to
provide for the teaching of agri-
culture in the public schools.
The authors Of the bill started
modestly with an appropriation
OF $4,000. 1t was urged that the
inculcation of agricultural knowl.
edge at an early sge would prove
a great impetus for general rural
development.

Mr.. Steyenson's Views

The last statement made by
Mr.. W.. #. Stevenson as to what
Fongress should 10 for a farming
district like this was that it had
spent $475, 900, ,0O0.O5 on rivers
and nothing on roads. 1t has al
ready spent $100,000,0O0 on irri-
cation projects, to water lands
for less than 100000 people in
the West. Why not do some,
thing to take the water out OF
the roads in the South?
In South Carolina the State
and Counties and Townships
spent in 1914 about 81 coo, 900, 0C
on roads, and still of the 45 ,54s
miles Of roads in the State only
4,888 miles are surfaced and

Chesterfield Delegates
Save State Warehouse

One of the most exciting and
momentous fights of the present
session of the general asse bly,
has been that of Warehouse
Commissioner McLaurin against
the Southeastern Tariff associa-
tion.
The Southeastern Tariff associ-
alton is a part of the big fire in
surance association that regu-
lates and controls fire insurance
rates throughout the United
States.
When Senator McLaurin,
through arrangements he was
able to make with independent
insurance men north, began cut
ting the rates of the Southeast
ern Tariff association to pieces,
the Southeastern Tariff associa-
tlon put in operation the ma
chinery it employs in such cases
with view to putting the SEN
ator out of business. The pur-
pose Of the big trust was unmis-
TAXA Bile, and Mr.. McLaurin rea-
ilzed at once that he would have
to either surrender or fight. and
he chose to fight.
MIR. McLaurin went after the
enemy and the Senate passed
Mr.. G. X, Laney's bill along the
line desired placing the entire
question of rate making on fire
risks III South Carolina under
the control of the Warehouse
Com missioner.
The senate acted before the
insurance people knew what was
doing, and they did not get fair
ly into action before the bill had
been sent over to the house; but
during Tuesday and Wednesday
OF last week, the insurance lob
by came swarming down on the
situation like the locusts of
Egypt, and they made things
warm.
1t is said that there were more
than two hundred insurance men
III Colum bis on Tuesday end
Wednesday, and kilograms pour
ed In on mbers from all over
the country bv the hundred.
On passing the Senate this bill
was referred to the insurance
committee, but Mr.. w. p. Odom.
q staunch friend Of the ware
house system had 1T referred to,
the agriculture committee, of
which he is chairman.
Both sides were here given a
fair hearing. The prompt and
efficient work Of Chesterfield
Countys representatives have
undoubtedly saved to the State
and it's farmers the benefits of
the State Warehouse System.

A Weekly Review
OF The Great War

There is a decided renewal of
activity on the western frodt in
France, but with no decisive re-
suits so far as can be learned.
We are yet in the dark as to
whether this portends serious
offensive on either side, and if
80, In what quarter. So far as
the operations have developed
they seem to be merely intended
to gain more defensible posi-
ltions In readiness for a supreme
: effort in the spring. The battle.
fields are the same as last fall !;
namely, the hills that lie to the
west OF Lille in the Artois re-
: gion and to the east of Rheims
in the Champagne.
1t has been repeatedly stated
that whatever the outcome of
the war the fate of Turkey is
sealed. In the future Turkey
will remain under the dominion
of either the Teutonic powers or
will be partioned among the En-
tente Allies.
With the fall of Erzerum be-
fore Russian hosts a long step is
made by the Allies toward the
subjugatlon Of the unspeakable
Turk.
1t was at first reported that
100000 soldiers were captured
when this stronghold fell. but it
has since developed that most of
the Turkish army escaped and
pre- being pursued by the Rus
Mans.
A Turkish division has been
bmpletely wiped out or captnr-
in the flight from Erzerum,
wording to an official tatetnenL
ped in Petrograd. Other
tkish units have suffered
hNily.
-"'ihe Russians are launching
fierce attacks against Turkish
forces at Sivas, abont 16 miles
west of Erzerum. Sivas is a
height which is held in strength
by the Turks.
Unofficial dispatches from Pet
rograd state that the entire
Turkish line in the Black Sea
and Lake Van region has retired
for distance of more than 80
miles.
In the assault on Erzerun, a
single Russian corps captured
240 guns.
In the first line forts alone 1872
guns, mostly of new Krupp mod
els, were taken.
Great quantities of ammuni-
ticn and supplies of all kinds
fell into the hands of the Rus
slams. Official computation of
the prisoners and material cap
tured has not been completed.
This is the severest blow TurK-
ey has suffered during this war.
1t probably opens the way TO
march on lonstantinople from
the rear.

The whole of the money then staked on all starters is added together. a commis- sion deducted by the agent for his trouble and the balance divided in equal shares, or Paris Mutuels. amongst those who have backed the victor In this instance the agents gain is. of course, certain It has been found. however, that Opportuni- ties of stalking money in advance have produced the same evils in France as in England.
