NEW YORK BANKS.
Loans Reduced and Prepared to Meet the
New Government Loan.

New York, Feb. 1.-The New York FL
nancier says this week:
There has less change in the statement
made by the Associated Banks of New
Yorf for the week ending February l
than had been eNepcted. The decrease
In loans was only nominal compared
with the heavy liquidations which have
been going on without interruption for
weeks past The banks report gain
of s9,I21 900 in cash during the week, al
though the interior movement must have
increased their holdings not much less
than $4OO0OO The increase in specie was
only S6S5.O00. 1t would be interesting to
know how much OF this was gold and
what proportion In silver certificates, Th'
statement. II It is to be interpreted in a
general sense. means, more than any,
thing else, that the banks have made am
pie preparations to meet the new loan.
They held at the close of the week an
excess cash reserve OF $S5,00O,000 as COM
pared with about sl9oOO,O0O during the
middle OF December. They have reduced
their loans over $i50O0.000. and they have
SIS, 600 900 more in cash holdings than at
the time mentioned.

Such a Clear as it Is.

In another column we epublish Treas
urer Bates's explanation of the Balti-
more bond deal. It's an explanation
which does not explain. Receiving
money for his own pocket from the
syndicate to whom he SOLD the bonds
of the State is the fact, and such fact
cannot be explained.
Old.Judge CAN'T lived in the lower
part of Edgefield county in the early
part of this century and some of our
oldest readers may remember his pre-
siding at our Edgefield courts. On one
occasion white man was convicted
before him for a criminal offence,
nameless, here and was sentenced to
receive 80 lashes on his naked back.
After the sentence had been passed
upon him, the prisoner arose. "Jedge,"
said he, after get the whipping, will
I be clear then?" ayes" said the Judge,
.after you get the thirty-nine you will
then be clear, such CLEAR as it is."
And "such clear as it is" is about the
only comfort the public will accord
Treasurer Bates in the Baltimore bond
deal business.
And yet there is something to be
said in Treasurer's Bates's favor
He has spoken out, has shown his
hand, such as it is, and has pulled
through a smaller hole himself
than either of the other partici-
pants will be able to compass.

File Your Pledge.

Chairman Tompkins of the State
executive committee, wishes all
candidates to know that unless
they have their pledges in his
hands by the night of June % that
they will be debarred from run
ming in the State primary. He has
asked the press to have notice Civ
en- the public, and no. doubt those
who are "hankering" after Office
have seen that such was necessary
under the new rules of the party.
There is already some talk that
such rule should not have been
adopted, because it has never be-
fore been the custom, and Others
argue that it will have to he chang
ed to keep candidates from break
ing up the primary by going into
the general election. The friends
of the candidates that are already
out will, no doubt, look out for
their friends interests and see
that there are no new entries al
lowed, and if can didates come out
after the 22d, they will be forced
to go into the general election. No
new pledges have been received
and thus far the only ones in hand
are from d.. Zimmerman and Mr..
G. w. Whitman.

The Republican National Con-
vention is in session to-day, Wed
nesday, at st. Louis. 1t is almost
certain that Mckinley will be
nominated for president, and al
most certain that the pl a t.
form will declare for gold without
equivocation--without quibble
wabble, or "bobble." So far. SO
good. Now, if the Democratic Ma
tional Convention, which meets in
Chicago July 7th, will formulate
a platform demanding gold ana
silver, the issue between the ad-
herents of gold and bimetalism
will be so fairly and squarely
made chat no American voter can
fail to know what the respective
platforms mean, putting him far
ahead of his position four years
ago, when both platforms, Repub'
lican and Democratic, straddled
the great financial question-and
gave us mere conglomeration OF
words.

Reduction in Rates.

The Southern Express Company
have reduced their rates on fruits
considerably to New York, Phila-
delphia, Baltimore, Washington,
Richmond, and other points North,
and shippers will be advised of
the same ON application at their
offices.
With the facilities they have
for handling this class of matter,
especially, it is to the interest of
shippers to forward such ship
ments through them, as the tran
sit is quick and the delivery safe
and sure, and the matter reaching
destination for market in good
condition makes the demand great
er and the prices better and more
satisfactory.
The experience of shippers with
refrigerator cars has not been at
all satisfactory as the following,
clipped from the Greensboro IN.
CO. Record shows:
The refrigerator oars on freight
trains were put in use at this point
in 1893 and 1894, for the transpor-
tation of peaches to Northern mar
kets, but it proved to be a failure.
and the fact was established that
the fruit arrived at destination in
bad condition, while ali shipments
by Southern Express Company
were carried through in quick time
and were put on the market fresh
and in splendid order, and the
idea of refrigerator cars WAS aban-
doned.

Three weeks ago we had given
up all hope of seeing Democratic
President elected in November
next. But the clouds that lowering
ly overhung our prospects in this
line have bean almost entirely dis
sipated and Democracy has at
least an equal chance with the
other great party, and but for the
iniquitous useof money, of which
they have much we have little, the
victory would assuredly perch
upon our banners.

We never had any special admi-
ration for Senator 1iby but in the
dog fight he has made in this State
for true Democracy as against
boiling dog Democracy he has had
our well done, and in the stand he
took in the recent convention he
proved himself, there at least, eve
ry inch bull dog. And, inasmuch
as it is dog fight pure and simple,
and because he is the under dog
and Tillman is on to him and all
the other hig dogs are on to him
and he is fighting all alone, the
bottom dog, all the others on him
riding and "chawing," we are with
him.
sIknow thai the world, the great big
world
From the peasant up to the king
Has different tale from the tale tell,
And different songto sing.

If they say lam wrong or am right,

For the UNDER dog in the fight.

To see which dog may be in the right,
But will SHOUT for the dog; on TOP
But for mel shall never pause to ask

For my heart shall beat, while it beats

Life in the Old Land Yet.

"The time is near at hand when
the cotton mills of South Corolina
will consume more cotton than is
grown in this State. If during the
next ten years mill-building pro-

it did during the last decade, this
State will begin playing an impor-
tant part in fixing the price of
cotton, for she will use all she
grows and import as much more
