To Your Buddy--Over There"

He's whipping the Kaiser Beast

McLAURiN STEPS DOWN
Discouraged Because Of What Ap.
pears to be Hopeless Fight.

senator McLaurin has withdrawn
from the guirrnatorial race. His rca-
SONS are set forth in the following
given out from the Nygia hospital in
I.ichmond:
To My Friends: see no good tC
h- accomplished by my remaining In
the campaign and desire TO release you
from such obligation you may feel rs
to my support.
am discouraged that my purposes
seem so sadly misunderstood and my
motives so wilfully misreprescntcd.
What is the use when only Is min
sues?
did not offer as a candidate be-
cause Of any personal ambition. My
desire was to serve. Primarily. 1t was
my hope. to unite a conservative ele-
mcnt in both factions upon n pro-
gr;,mmc for building n system of fin
ancc based upon cotton, which would
render our section forever rich and
independent.
have given ten years Of my life
and spent much Of my means In
spreading the propaganda. Its fruits
ap. visible on every hand, but ! de-
spair OF ever making faction ridden
South Carolina a leader in Il great
movement Of this kind and shall make
no further attempt so to do.
Let me state the proposition clearly:
Section l3 OF the Federal reserve act
provides not only for the discount OF
notes secured by receipts for cotton
on storage. but also for discounting
securities. where the proceeds are to
enter into the production OF the crop
This means that note secured by
rent or Il crop mortgage can be dis
counted ut the Federal reserve bank
II is done now. but not for farmers
few of them know these facts. All
that we need is the machinery and II
can bc more easily provided than the
present system. which | presented aft
,r the failure of the Wade plan.
The warehouse is merely funda-
mental incident in n system OF finance
The real basis is the conversion OF all
securities which represent cotton
either made or to be made into fluid
assets which will pass current in the
money Amarkcts. When YOU do this
the marketing question will logically
solve itself and can never be solved
except by the firm establishment OF
system of credits. where the pound OF
cotton is the unit. and as good In
one mans hands rs anothers. II will
never bc done by voluntary organiza-
tions: it can only come through the
government. and to secure that politi-
cal control is necessary.
However. as the people are more in
tcrcstcd In other matters. ] see no
reason for dragging myself around the
state in vain effort to help people
who do not wish to he helped. Being

Good Roads Saved Franee.-In tho
July Farm and Fireside an editoria
says:
Good roads have twice saved
France in the present war. Had II
not been for the radiating road sys-
tenn maintained by the French gov
ernment, the Germans would have
won the battle Of the Narne and
reached Paris. The Germans had
calculated on only three divisions be-
ing sent out from Paris to stop tho
invasion. Instead, the excellent sys'
TEN OF highways made 1t possible fol
five divisions to be sent to this front
Again, shortly after the battle o.
Verdun started. the French railroad
which was to furnish many Of the
supplies to the troops was destroyed
The French government, however
had a macadam road 80 feet wide or
which four lines Of traffic, two ir
either direction, were maintained
Day and night $4,000 motor truck.
carried men and equipment.
THE traffic never stopped. Wher
a hole was made in the road, a mar
with a shoveiful of rock slipped in be.
tween the lines of trucks and threw
the rock into the hole, then jumped
aside to let the truck roll the rocl
down"
