Columbia. F'ch 25.-Andrew j.

two terms as lieutenant governor and
made one canvass of the state for the
goyernorship, today announced his in
tention to enter the gubernatorial race
iagain this summer 1t has been kow1
for sometime that Nh. Bethea had the
matter under advisement and his
friends have been urging him to an
nounce his candidacy, but this is the
lirst definite statement from him with
regard to the matter. His announce
ment today, however removes all
speculation as to his intentions and
he states that he will wage a vigorous
and aggressive campaign to win.
In discussing his platform, Mr.
Bethea said he did not know all the
issues the campaign might develop
but he was quite certain that taxation
and education would be among the up
permost. Upon the question Of tax
ation," he said, II stand for imme-
diate tax reduction and real tax re-
form, and | shall take as one of the
slogans of my campaign, reduction

changes that will reduce to a mini
mum the tax on lands, houses, mer-
chandise, banks, mills, ETC., in fact all

lieve in tax system that is equal and
just and that requires every citizen to
pay something to the governmtnt, but
l DO not believe in system such as
we now have in South Carolina where
the taxpaying people are burdened to
the breaking point and where taxes in
many cases equal the income. From
this intolerable condition we must
have relief and if 1 am elected COVER
nor shall use all the influence and
power Of that great Office to effect
such changes in the tax laws as will
insure real tax reduction and tax re-

view OF the Future. Laurcns Needs
Cold Storage Warehouse. lie SAYS.
Organization Needed.
Declaring that the period of depres-
sion is rapidly passing and that busi-
ness throughout the country will soon
be normal, Senator n. B. Dial, when
interviewed by The Advertiser re-
iporte> Monday, sp Ike with enthusiasm
and optimism Of the prospects of 1922.
Wheat, wool and other products
nave already gone up in price. and it
Is more than reasonable to believe that
cI;:on will soon follow" was the
opinion Of Senator Dial, and to sub
stantiate the statement he said that.
according to estimates of the Depart
mcnt Of Agriculture, Of the four mil
, lion bales OF cotton in storage, 24 per
cent of it is not tenderable or low
and off grade cotton. 1t was generally
known that only the best grades of
cotton are stored and if that be true,
the percentage OF untenderable or low
grade cotton was as great or even
greater than "a per cent. "rhis shows"
said the Senator, "that there is bound
to be shortage Of good or high grade
cotton.
The greatest thing the South can
90 Tor itself is to organize, and above
all to live at home. The government
would like to help and is helping the
farmer all it can, One Of the greatest
4 injuries Ito the cotton farmer is that
he competes with himself. In 1914 the
returns of sixteen million bale CROP
were 500 million dollars, and in 1918
when the cotton crop was only eleven
million bales, it brought two million
dollars more than the total Of the en-
tire l0l4 crop" While the illustra-
tlon was made from two abnormal
years, Senator Dial said that it showed
the need Of organization.
While cotton will continue to be the
money crop, Senator Dial believed that
other products could also be grown to
advantage and that the boil weevil will
make living at home Imperative
several years ago, estimated re-
turns for an annual cotton crop
amounted to approximately 10 mil
lion dollars. However, ninety-two
million dollars left the state that same
year for food and other products that
Icould have easily been raised here"
when asked about the soldier bonus
bill now before Congress, Senator Dial
said that while he believed that moth
ing was too good for the wounded sol
dlers, his opinion was that the SER
vice that our soldiers rendered during
the war could not be measured by dol
lars. All OF officialdom in Washing
ton was proud of the war record of
the South Carolina boys and Of the
stand the American Legion took on
the bonus question.
After discussing other national
problems and policies Senator Dial, in
getting nearer to home said that an
excellent movement could be initiated
by the Laurens Business League in
starting a cold storage plant in Tau
rens. Eggs brought to Laurens last
| week could not be sold at thirty cents
a dozen. They will be worth, he said,
, more than twice that in few months.
He said that the farmers can and will

there is still available for new projects $780,

the first years cash payments necessitated by
the bonus bill, which are estimated at
$4,000 900.
But this sum would also more than meet o
years interest on the entire first issue of the
