WHY NIcLAURIN WON OUT.
Warehouse Commissioner Not Politi-
cal JOb-Specialist and Enthusiast.
columbia Record. 27th.)

The election of John l.. McLaurin
to succeed himself is an endorsement
Of the cotton warehouse system.
There is no doubt that many farm
ers have enjoyed the benefits Of the
warehouse system and have for the
portunity to enjoy the use Of six per
cent money.
This is not due alone to the efforts
Of the warehouse management. but
to the existence of the Federal reserve
banking law passed by the Woodrow
Wilson administration, making it pos
sible for the local distributors of
money to borrow 1t themselves at a
very low rate Of interest, with pros
pective cotton loans as security.
Authorship Of the cotton ware
house plan has been variously i'm
puted to many persons. and we will
not attempt to settle the question,
although now that 1t is in operation
1T seems such a simple matter that
we wonder why it has not been in use
for many years. Tobacco and liquor,
which are not necessities of life, as
Judged by the standards Of some, are
commodities which have been stored
in government bonded warehouses.
Then why not cotton?\ Cotton is not
perishable commodity and can be
insured at a low rate, as demonstrate
ed by Senator McLaurin.
We think that Senator McLaurin
has made plain, not only the practi-
cability and the serviceability. but
the actual necessity, for a we'll de-
veloped, active and we'll regulated
warehouse system in this State. Re-
! gardless OF whose idea it was in the
| outset, 1T has been his hobby, and he
has made good with the means at
hand, and has accomplished more
than any other man in the State could
have done.
For that reason he has received
| an endorsement that he was entitled
10, although we concede that he has
been criticised, the allegations being
that he was using the warehouse
forces as political machine. Any
machine can be used for good or for
| evil purposes and we do not know
| that there is machine, but If there
| is, Mr.. McLaurin cannot, in good con-
| science, use it unworthily after such
vote of confidence by the Legisla-
ture.
For he defeated two good men, one
of whom, Mr.. Cary, made a surpris-
ingly good race under the circum-
stances and had he not been Offering
against Mr.. McLaurin under normal
conditions would have shown a great
deal more OF strength. Men support
ed Mr. McLaurin who had never done
so before, men from his own county,
because they felt that the Commits
sioner had made good and that this
is not a political proposition, but a
matter Of business, and business of
such nature that he can best handle
it, and can achieve most, who is a
specialist and an cnthusiast-sucha as
Senator McLaurin certainly is.
