The state of North Carolina Is about
to establish a state cotton warehouse
system, similar to that which Senator
John L. McLaurin established in South
Carolina. What is known as the Price
bill, already passed by the senate, was
passed to third reading in the house
on Tuesday, ready for final roll call.
The bill provides a tax of 25 cents on
every bale of cotton ginned in the
state, which tax is to be used in help
ing to meet operating expenses in es-
tablishing a guarantee fund behind
certificates on stored cotton. The bill
as originally introduced was largely
the work Of Senator. McLaurin. who
has been giving all the advice and as
sistance in his power in the hope OF
being able to accomplish in North Car
olina what the littla politicians would
not let him accomplish in South Caro-
lima. 1t is remembered, of course,
that although the South Carolina gen.
eral assembly was finally forced to
permit the establishment Of the state
warehouse system, it furnished no
money for the purpose, and Mr.. Nc
Laurin had to provide for expenses out
of his own pocket until he got his or
ganization in such shape as to enable
him to secure the financial co~opera-
ton Of the farmers themselves. Even
after that he began to encounter the
underhand hostility of various state Of
ficials who put obstacles in his way on
pretense of trying to help, until finally
he was forced to throw up the job IN
disgust. But from what Mr.. McLau-
rim accomplished in South Carolina In
spite of all opposition, and from what
Is being accomplished in other states
as the result of the movement started
by him, it is reasonably certain that If
North Carolina will only continue on
these lines it will be but short time

Somebody managed to get In some
poison during the rush Of the last
hours Of the general assembly, and
amend that bill requiring all county
officers to make annual statements of
the receipts for their offices. The law
has been lodged heretofore on the
ground that it was unconstitution-
al in that certain counties were
exempt from it's provisions. The idea
at the session just closed was to re-
move all questions Of this kind; but
somebody defeated the very proper
purpose that was in view. The effect
Of the law as 1t stands and of the cir
cult court rulings thereon is to tell the
public that it is none Of the publics
business how much public officials
receive for their services. The per-
sistence with which some very slick in
dividuals are fighting this law sug-
~csts a suspicion that the enforcement
of the provision in question might
prove embarrassing to some folks who
are getting more than they are entitled
to get.

1T was quite job to get the road
fixed" said Mr.. Jackson. People
around there were unwilling to work
their mules in such q place, and did
not like to do 1t myself; but Mr..
Lumpkin was willing to put his own
mules in and I thought that 1t was
nothing but right to help him. We put
in wagon load after wagon load Of ma
terial without making much Of show
ing, until at length we piled in guam
tity Of crushed rock. We left pretty
good surface at last; but still the whole
business would shake when a heavy
wagon or automobile passed over"
1t was on Tuesday that Mr.. Jackson
told the reporter about fixing the road.
He thought that he and Mr.. Lumpkin
had succeeded In doing very good
job; but still he was not willing to
guarantee the permanency Of the job
unless the weather should continue
clear long enough to permit the dry
ing out Of the water from underneath.

Of clerical officials responsible, sever

failed Of ratification. Six of these bills
were locked in a clerks desk when
they should have been up for ratifica-

divided, are each trying to shift re-

Talking Bridge Location.
A delegation of citizens living in up
per Fort Mil township and across the
river in the Steele Creek section OF
Mecklinburg, appeared before the YORK
county board of commissioners wed
nesday, to discuss the location or the
proposed new bridge across the river.
The delegation included Mr.. w. II.
Windle of upper Fort Mill, and Messrs.
Stroup, Carothers, Capps, Youngblood
and others from Mecklinburg. The
people from over the river made II
clear that they wanted the bridge 10
Gated as close to Wright's ferry as pos
sible, and the further up the river II
went the less it would please them.
TWO possible sites above the OLD
Wrlghts ferry were more or less ac-
ceptable, the closer Of the two pelng
most acceptable, and a possible loca-
tion I'D close to the state line being
out of the question so far as this par
,lcular delegation was concerned. The
board gave the delegation a full hear
ing, accepting all that was said as IN
but no member OF the
board expressed any opinion as to the
possible location, for the reason that as
vet the text of the act authorizing the
bridge is not available and the board
mas no definite information as to its
provisions.
Salary Increase Bill.
From Senator Beamguard it is learn
ed that the efforts Of the York delega-
ton to increase the salaries OF certain
county officials has failed. This Is es-
peciaIly true o. the bill relating to the
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1919-03-07

Sometimes it looks as If the Allies
don't make peace with Germany pretty
quick there will be no government to
make peace with. This idea has been
voiced in high Allied quarters. Such
talk is quite impressive. But then
suppose the Allies should go on-and
make peace on that basis and find aft
,rward that they had been foiled,
what then? Obviously the right thing
for the Allies is to pursue the even
tennor of their way to the end.

AS to what is going to be the effect
of the new law that will require that
cotton exchange contracts be made on
a basis of merchantable cotton, 1t is
rather too early to predict. The eff
feet Of the law on the price Of cotton,
of course, we mean. But at any rate
we are satisfied that the law Is very
proper one, especially If it will compel
legitimate dealing, and we think that
both Senator Smith and Representative
Lever are entitled to credit for having
finally reached some settlement Of the
long vexed question.
