In the same period, the mortgaged

Tx fight in this state, like it IS ev-

manhood rights.

of this tremendous fortune was un-

| know that the masses will never
get anything except by concentration
on specific measures of reform. We
have made cotton a fluid asset, and
established the warehouse receipt IS q
basis of credit. The moment you give
special privil eyes to collateral, YOU
valorize the commodity represented
by the paper. If loans are made on
cotton at ten cents pound, and the
paper is discounted widely at that
price, then the banking world is in
terested in maintaining the market
price above ten cents. In 1914, when
war was declared, there was great
alarm among bond and stock hold
efs. The national government came
to their relief with s4O0,GO0,0OO Why?
Because these securities we're the bas-
is of banking. The cotton crop was
sacrificed. Why? 1t had no status as
a banking basis. Under similar con-
ditions, the government would now
protect warehouse receipts as they
did bonds in 1914. That is what l
called President wilson's attention to
last August, and it was the chief fac
sor in the September advance from
nine to- twelve cents a pound. The
last twelve months has proved be-
yond any reasonable doubt that cotton
can be valorized by use as collateral
as readily as stocks and bonds. When
it is so valorized then Immediately

Hon. John L. McLaurln,
Columbia, S. G.
My dear John L:
/ have your letter of Saturday, and
feel like orarreling with you for not
coming up as you promised.i No
wonder YOU are not feeling well. The
hot sitting atmosphere Of Columbia
especially in that old warehouse, is
enough to make anybody feel blue.
You should come up here and spend
a few days in our fresh, pure air.
where you could have good water 10
drink, plenty of tomatoes and other
fine vegetables to eat, and where you
can have the association of good
honest farmers who believe in you
and in what you are trying to do for
them.
Then I had selfish reason for
wanting you to come. l wanted to
talk to you about the campaign. The
reports in the papers are very un-
satisfactory as to detail, and the one
subject in which am most interest
ed-the warehouses; not receiving
the attention to which its importance
entities It. If there is anybody in the
state qualified to suggest the best
thing to do under the circumstances,
YOU are the man, and l wanted to
talk it over with you Won't you
write me what you think, under the
assurance that 1 will keep anything
YOU might say to myself. unless you
are willing for me to give it out to
the public.
With best regards, l am very
sincerely. Your friend,

RICHMOND, va, July 41, 1oH"'
My Dear David:
Yours 9Th to hand and was glad to
hear from you. 1t is not surprising
that so little is heard of the State
Warehouse system. 1t does not sun
the Powers that Be- to discuss IN,
dustrial questions in campaign.
They are more secure when the d1Vl-
sions are on factional lines, than
when voters use the ballot to further
their own interest. AS I see it, the
contest is between Manning ana
Blease. The others are not in it.
Cooper sees this and has swung into
line praising Manning, so as to take
another shot at the gubernatorial
plum two years from now.
/ care nothing about factional poll
tics except as it affects the principles
which to some extent, are embodied
in the state warehouse system.
In South Carolina we have two fac
tions and will have them as long as
there is but one party. What you cal,
the Anti-faction in South Carolina
represents money, and in the north
are Republicans. The Reform faction
are Democrats here and everywhere,
because they are the producers and
laborers.
On one side stands the social aris-
tocracy and the money power; on the
other the masses of the people, the
toilers. Go to New York, New Jersey
and Pennsylvania, and you find SINH
lar lines of division called Democrat
and. Republican. These leaders be-
lieve in no power save the dollar ana
respect no appeal save that of self
interest. Factionalism in South
Carolina is the result of the efforts OF
the producers, to maintain their indus
trial freedom against this power OF
wealth and position. Designing Re
form leaders have taken advantage of
the people and played upon their
hopes and fears to attain high posi-,
tion and then the base instinct of the
social climber make them forget the
people who elected them. They teach
the people politics to secure the cleo
ton of men to high Office and stop
right there. Some say, we have too
much politics I say no, it is bad poll
tics. In South Carolina, can truth
fully say, Gncluding myself until the
the last ten years., that I have not
known a man in Office to whom poll
tical distinction was not the end, the
sum total, instead Of the means to the
end. 1t is not the fact of being gov,
ernor or senator; the honor lies in
what we do with it, what you can
accomplish, not for yourself but
others-this constitutes the glory OF

MAKING A NAME FOR A TOWN.
The citizens of every town have
it within their power to make or
mar their own municipal name. 1t
will be good or bad, just as they
choose to make it.
We of this town are no exceptlons
to the rule, and the citizen who loves
his own home will always bear it
in mind.
There are many good points in fay-
or of our community. and when the
stranger comes to our midst we
should not fail to impress these facts
upon his mind.
We should take him in hand, ex-
hibit the community as you would a
blooded horse, let him understand
that he is among a fair minded
energetic and generous hearted peo-
pie, and when he goes to other
climes he will speak as he has been
spoken to.
That is the way regulations are
made.
But there is another side, and II
is there that mischief is too often
done.
The stranger enters our door and
we Immediately begin to complain Oh
the community and of the people
Nothing just suits us. Nothing is as
it should be. Everything is wrong
and the town is ON the way to the
dogs.
| And again the stranger speaks as
he sees and hears.
That is the way regulations are
destroyed.-Gooding Leader.
