The USury Law.

The repeal OF the present Usury
law would b" best, not only Tor the
poor man, but Tor the Whole State.
As the law now stands, it Tor iorbids
the capita :sts from loaning money
at higher Interest than I per cent.
VIII ch practlrally prevents the poor
mar from borrowing money at all,
unless some plan is resorted TO evade
tie law, which is tco frequently the
case. This evas OH, however, alway 8
subjects Tie leade: 10 considerable
risk, and the borrower to consequent
expense. The law, therefore, does
not ailorta any protection, because,
while money lenders may be willing
to lend large sums on moderate in.
,erest on good security, which can
always he given by the rich, they will
either not lend at ali, where the So
curity is doubtful, us must necessari'
!y be the case with the poor. or, if
tLey have to resort TO evasion and
legal risk, they will make the bor-
rover pay for it.
But, this is. not MI. Our present
Usury law drives capital away from
the State, and acts az an embargo
against Improvement and develop
nens. Can South Carolina afford
this Are we willing that Our growth
and prosperity should be impeded
oy such q clog being thrown into the
IN ,chinery OF progress? Trade, like
nature, will adjust itself through the
laws Of supply and demand. There
il no more wisdom in arbitrarily fix
ing the price fer the use Of money
than there is to fix the rent OF houses
or The price o! corn or cotton. Mon
ey, like water, will seek its level. It
will 90 where it is most wanted.
There is no objection to p. c. being
fixed az the legal interest OF the
State, where no contract is made.
This is proper, and We hope it may
be done. But, at the same time, let
all restrictions On the use Of money
be emoved.-Orangeburg Times 4

and become a law. There ars n n:
Objectionable features aboutit besiles
the creation OF multiplicity .. new
officers by appointment, who will
have to be raid by the people. The
amount is no, very much to each
officer but when all are paid there
will be considerable addition to the
burden OF the taxpayers. One Of
the avowed purposes Iii the passage
OF the act WAS to prevent fraud at
elections. We have always de'ied
the charge OF fraud in our elections
since the accession oil the democracy
to The control Of the State for we
committed no frauds Of our own and
would not allow any cheating by
others. There is a provision in The
act for renewal of certificate in
care Of its becoming "defaced by time
or accident" provided, the applicant
surrsLders the .ieiaced certificate to
the Supervisor. Suppose the cerii-
Gcate is burned by accident or is to-
len from the holder, how could he
get another "pass" it being innpossi.
bic to produce his certificate? The
certificate might have been lost en-
tirely without fault Of the holder
and vet he will be deprived of a
constitutional right. VIII any such
thing as this engure a full and fair
election BY no means. The act is
very defective in this particular.
The crownng outrage, however,
OF The scheme is in the absolute row.
er given the SnT erviaor in the latter
part Of the act where it is enacted
that at the conclusion OF the regis
tration, "the supervisor Of rag;s,n
ton shall revise the list, and 10 case
it be made to appear to "his satisiac-
tion" that there ia quaiiiie'di voter
10 precinct who has failed TO regis
ter, he may, upon such evidence as
hs may think necessary, at his discre
tion" permit tue name Of such voter
to be placed on said list and issue q
certificate therefor"
This puts it in tie power Of the
Supervisors to control any election.
Everything is left to "his discretion"
and he can take just "such evidence
as he may deem necessary" He can
put down as many names as he wishes
to carry an election for his friends.
What use is there in the FIRST of the
act if the Supervisor has such power?
Why not have enacted the last pro.
vision alone? 1t would answer all
purposes jus, to appoint 'supervii.
sor in each county who will decide
who can vote. 1t strikes US that If
the Legislature meant to do the fair
thing in passing this act they might
have improved the last provision.
1t should have made it the "duty of
the Supervisor tn register persons
who by some chance we're not en-.
rolled before the closing OF the books,
when such person could show that
be had the lsgal qualifications Of a
voter. Under this new scheme fraud
can be perretrated more readily than
ever before. We can't imagine what
the Legislature wasthinking Of when
such a law was made. !6AI = ,'

BOVINE VIRUS.
The New England Farm .Overtaxed
with Demands all Over our Country.

Two or three years ago humanized
| virus was used in vaccination almos,
exclusively. This year, however, has
! witnessed a complete revolution, and
almost all ol the physicians use bo
vine virus, and prefer it as immea'
surably superior to the humenized
It was only during the last few months
that the New England Vaccine Virus
Company, of Chelsea, Mass, extend,
I3ed its trade this far South. They
placed the Kentucky agency in the
hanas Of Lue.en Alexander, the
drg Gst, through whose efforts the
tiaroagf kentucky and the Sc l;hern
States. The breaking out of the
small pox all over the country has
caused an unprecedented run on bo.
vine virus. Within The past few month
Mr.. Alexander, the Kentucky agent,
has sold about $1,000 worth of viruo,
about two thirds OF which has been
used in this city. During the past
two weeks Mr.. Alexander has receiv.
ed orders from TWO or three hundred
towns in Kentucky, Tennessee and
Alabama to supply virus for public
vaccinations, and has had calls from
several other States. So heavy has
been the demand on the company
from other sections that half the or
ders could not be filled, and for more
than week Mr.. Alexander has re
ceived but most limited supply.
Meanwhile his orders have accumu.
lated, until now he could dispose OF
almost any quantity Of points. For
cones which contain enough virus to
vaccinate 100 persons. he has orders
for 100. Ihs demand among the
city practitioners has been simply
enormous. There is now hardly
point Of animal virus in the city, and
during the past few days vaccination
in this section has been suspended.
The physicians have been holding off
for MI. Alexander to get supply OF
vaccine from Massachusetts,. but yes
terday he received telegram from
the company, telling him he must
look to other propagators, as they
we've now overwhelmed. The city
vaccinators haze been using the New
England virus exclusively, and are
now compelled to use humanized
virus when they can get it. During
the days when supply of bovine
virus was expected, Alexander's drug
store was besieged by doctors, and as
many as thirteen buggies have been
counted in front of his door at sim
gle time. The giving out of the VI
rus is causing great Inconvenience
TO the practitioners-in fact, some of
them know not what to do, as, nav
ing experienced the e.. ,acy OF bo-
vine matter, they are unwilling to
60 back to the humanized. DR..
George Griaiths, surgeon Of the
Louisville and Nashville Road, COM
menced vacciDating the entire force
Of the road, but yesterday had to
suspend operations, The New Eng
land virus having given out, the Doc
tor telegraphed to the Fond du Lac,
Wis, pens for LOCO points, but so
far has received no reply.
