Hon. j. l.. McLaurin, candidate for

MIR. McLaurin's Letter.
Hygea Hospital,
Richmond, Va, July ii, 1918.
TO My Friends:
l see no good to be accomplished
BY my remaining in the campaign
and desire to release you from all OBJ
legation you may feel as to my sup
port.
I am discouraged that my pur-
poses seem so sadly misunderstood
and my motives SO wilfully misrepre-
sented. What is the use when only
18 minutes are allowed to present
groat issues?
/ did not offer as a candidate be-
cause of any personal ambition. My
desire was to serve.
primarily, 1t was my hope to unite
conservative element in both fac
tions upon a program for building g
system of finance based upon cotton,
which would forever render our Sec

have given ten years of my life
and spent much Of my means in
spreading the propaganda. It's fruits
are visible Oh every hand, but | de-
spair Of ever making faction ridden
South Carolina leader in a great
movement of this kind, and shall
make no further attempt to do so.
Let me state the proposition
clearly.
Section 13 OF the Federal Reserve
Act provides not only for the discount
Of notes secured by receipts for ac-
tual cotton on storage, but also for
discounting securities, where the
money enters into the production of
the crop. This means that a note
secured by rent or a crop mortgage,
can be discounted at the Federal Re-
sorve Bank. 1t is done now, but not
for farmers. Few Of them know
these facts. All that we need is the
machinery, and it can be provided
more easily than the present system,
which I presented to tho Reserve
Board after the failure Of the Wade
plan.
The warehouse is merely funda-
mental incident III a system Of fl
nance. The real basis is the CONVEX
SiOH VI All oSIultlicS WHICH represent
cotton, either made or to be made,
into fluid assets, which will pass cur
rent in the money markets.
When you do this the marketing
question will logically solve itself,
and it can never be solved except by
the firm establishment Of a system Of
credits where the pound Of cotton is
the unit. and as good in one mans
hands as in another's. It will never
be done by voluntary organization;
it can only come through the govern
ment, and to secure that political con-
troll is necessary

Interested in other matters, I see no
reason for dragging myself around
the State IN a vain effort to help peo-
pie who do not wish to be helped.

(Grcenville NewS.)

Lieut.. Ernest Rosenberg, OF Green
wood, is now in that city for a brief
sojourn, having lately returned to
this country as an instructor at one
Of the camps. He has been in France
since last September. In an inter-
view with the Greenwood Index he
said:
"There is another thing which it
is important for our people to realize
and that Is that the Germans are far,
very far from being a defeated peo-
pie. They are not half-starved,
either. The German soldiers we
have captured show all the marks of
good care, substantial food, and they
are fighters yet. They have not given
up by whole lot The whole Ger
man army Is full Of confidence yet Of
its ability to win this war"
The nation Is slow to realize that
Germany's military machine has not
been smashed, that it still has tre-
mendous power, that it is highly
probable that the war will last two
or three years more-perhaps Ion
ger. The utmost power of America
will be required to exert sufficient
force to achieve victory. AS the
Manufacturers Record puts 1t, "All
that we have done Is small as COM
pared with what we shall have to do.
Any man who minimizes the struggle
that Is ahead Of us or who fails to
grasp it's magnitude will be responsi-
BILE to the extent Of his influence in
llengthening the war and increasing
the number Of deaths to our SOL
diers." The same journal goes on
to say:
"War, war to the very limit Of hu-
man power. War to the last ounce
Of our strength in men and money.
War with a determination that there
shall be no halting, whether the
struggle be two years or fivo years,
but war until the world has been
avenged Of the crimes of Germany
against mankind, and especially it's
dren; war until our national exist
ence is made safe must be our
thought and our prayer by day and
by night.
"Not for one moment should we
think Of even the possibility of q
short war. This Is long war. A
desperate war. Germany has stakod
it's very existence upon success. 1t
has planned for this war through
generations, and now that the con-
test Is on, with Germany fully realiz-
ing that there will be nothing but
death and destruction for its auto
cratic power, and punishment for it's
people, unless it can win, we may be
assured that the people and the mill
tary power of Germany alike will
carry on war to the utmost stretch
Of that nations accursed ability to
make war"

tary camps.
