A Capital idea This: -
Columbia Register, Saturday: Rep.
resentative c. r. D. Burns Of Oconee,
who is a member of the legislative
committee to audit the accounts of
the treasurer, is in the city. He stated
yesterday that he had several bills Gin
soakn for the legislature, among which
is one to abolish the. .eonstabulary fea.
.ture of the dispensarylaw. Mr.. Burns
says thh has been one of the most
prolific causes of discord, dissensions
and death, and that as long as it is of
force, the dispensary law will never
receive the moral support of the peo-
pie at large. Many who favor the law
in general object to- this feature, and
Mr.. Burns is going to try and elimi-
nate it. His idea ia to put the law
into the hands of the regular legal
officers of the state, sheriffs, magis-.
trates, mayors, etc., and to provide
such a law as will make them enforce
the law. Mr.. Burns hasn't worked
out the details of the bill yet, but
he believes he can get.up one which
will suit all concerned and result in
the enforcement of the law.
Ind ustrial Progress Last Year.
Columbia Register: In this state
last year, 12 cotton. mills actually re-
ceived charters, most of which have
started business, either at actual man
ufacturing or preparing for it. The
capital invested in these mills is ST.
O5O, 900. Six cotton oil mills were
chartered, with capital stock OF $97,-
600, and general charters with a capi.
tai stock of $4,746,710 were granted.
These consisted of building and loan
associations, fire insurance companies,
enterprises and the like.
The capital represented by all charters
granted was $5,893,7lO. Sixteen cot
ton mills, with a capital stock of ST.
4l5,OOO, received commissions but
have not yet received charters. Some
of them are almost completed, but the
organization has not heen perfected.
Commissions for general enterprises
were issued with capital stock of
1852, $40, making a grand total OIL
2,O67, $40. If the indications for this
year hold out, the record of 1896 will
again be surpassed, for the state seems
to have thoroughly imbibed the spirit
of progress.

Sixth District appointment.
M. J. Hough of Lancaster, will be
appointed as clerk in the engrossing
department from the Sixth Judicial
district.
Surely This IL q Mistake.
A package of whisky was seized at
Laurens a few days ago because it
belonged to a poor man, the consta-
BILE alleging that the consignee could
i'll afford to have bought the liqour for
his own use. If that is to be the rule,
every man known not to be in good
shape financially must be in danger of
being branded with suspicion if he
should order whisky for personal or
family use. The excuse that suspicion
should operate against poor man is
the quality of tyranny that ought not
to be tolerated.-Lancaster Ledger.
DIR. Straits Granite Quarry.
Lancaster Ledger: General Traffic
Agent S. B. Lumpkin of the o. r. &
C. railroad, came over to see Con-
gresham Strait this week relative to
his fine granite quarry. They visited
the quarry on Wednesday, and Mr..
Lumpkin expressed himself as highly
pleased with it. A survey will be
made soon for branch of the o. R. &
C. to the quarry from Pleasant Hill or
Heath Springs. 1t is probable that
the quarry will be leased by Mr.. Strait
to a syndicate of northern capitalists,
who will work it on a large scale if
the branch of the o. R. & G. is built.
1t would be source of big and lasting
income to the railroad, as the supply
is inexhaustible.
What Has Become OF Jones?
Columbia Register, Sunday: Jones,
the murderer of Mr.. David Lorick in
Lexington, sometime since, has turned
up again, but this time he is dead, and
by the most extraordinary and improb.
able means. They are actually tell
ing over in Lexington that Jones COM
mitted suicide in Aiken during the
past week, and it is further alleged
that word was sent to the coroner OF
Lexington to come down and hold an
inquest, but Aiken not being In his
jurisdiction, he didn't 60. That Jones
has been actually dead ever since a
day or two after the. murder has gen.
orally been believed, and the story Of
the suicide is too ridiculous to think
of. 1t may be that the provision OF
the constitution allowing county to
sued by the relatives of lynched par
ty for $4,000 has something to do with
these various reports, but, of course,
that's mere surmise.
An Important Case Settled.
The following decision was filed
with the clerk of the supreme court
last Monday: "The State of South
Carolina, ex relatione Samuel Lord, as

as the president and directors and

NOTHING THE MATTER.
So Says Comptroller Of the Currenc,
Echols.

Eohols.
Had Mr.. Bryan been elected presi
dent, and had his election been fol
lowed by the same number of banl
failures which have occurred since
November 8, We would no doubt havt
heard lots of talk TO the effect tha
the country was going TO the demni
ton bowwows, and that the sole Gauss
of the trouble was the prospect of thu
free coinage of silver. Mr.. James Il
Echols, comptroller of the currency
is a goldbug, and one of sthesDen
cratic boilers who helped elect, Nc
Kinley, and of course; therefore, is no'
one of those who can realize thai
there can possibly be anything wrong
with the gold standard. The Atlantis
Journal asked him for his views O.
the situation few days ago, and hs
replied as follows: ..
1.-The bank failures which have oc
Cured have been entirely due to loca
conditions, and in almost every in
stance to defects peculiar TO the insti'
tutions failing, This is strikingly sc
in the case of the National Bank al
Roanoke, Va, and as much 80 in the
failed bank in Texas some weeks since
The same may be said of all the ma
tional banks failing since November
l, and l imagine the same thing will
hold good in the state and private
banking houses which have ceased to
do business.
1.-THE banking institutions of the
south made, with here and there an
exception, a remarkably good showing
during the panic of 1898, and the
financial distress then was general and
acute. No such condition now exists
nor will occur, upon the one hand,
while on the other during the years
since then liquidation has gone on,
bad paper has been weeded out, and
the banks are stronger in cash means.
There is no basis for any expectation
that either now or in the future the
south or any other section OF the
country will suffer from more than
the ordinary number of bank failures
incident to the accumulation of slow
assets and bad methods of banking.
certainly do not apprehend any diff
Guilty beyond that due to the causes
/ have stated.
"If the attention of the country
could be directed towards attending
to business affairs in business way,
undisturbed by "wars and rumors OF
wars" and promises of renewed and
continued agitations, the country
would enter upon an era of prosperity
which in the largest measure Weuld
fall to the lot of the people of the
south.
"The south today offers marvel.
ously rich field for investment, and the
capital is at hand to be invested but
it will not 60 there or elsewhere, when
disquieting rumors are everywhere TO
be met with and uncertainty as to
gaining q return for it confronts the
investor. -
"The opportunity presented to the
Americans to become rich, prosperous
and happy by con6ning themselves
strictly to the Immediate needs OF
their own country, was never so great
as at this present movement"

If You Will Lay Aside
Your Prejudice

AND COME to us with desire to
learn why it is not to your interest to
carry high priced insurance, and how we
can furnish you just as safe insurance
for at least 40 per cent. year less than the
other costs, we are sure we can show you
to your satisfaction that the MUTUAL

MON of New York does business OH a
plan that is absolutely safe, and will pro-
tect your loved ones even better than
they now are, at even greater cost to
to YOU. Of course if you are too preJu-
diced to investigate and imagine that the
high price you are now paying makes
your insurance better or safer, or better
than it would be at less cost, we can't do
anything for you but will be. forced to,
let you go on until time, the crucial
tester, convinces you, against your will,
that you have been deceived.
