RoOxevelt and Morgan.

When the stories Of clash between
President Roosevelt and J. P. Morgan
the opposition of Morgan to Roosevelt
first began to find their way into
circulation, there seemed to be ground
for suspicion that there was more or
less buncombe in them; that they were
intended purely for campaign purposes.
It is we'll understood that the great
honest mass Of the American voters
do not stand for the ambition ana
methods of Mr.. Morgan; but it is
well-known fact that the Republican
party has been but plant tool in the
hands Of this man for number or
years past, and there was reason TO
suspect that the stories of Morgan's
alleged opposition to Roosevelt were
manufactured for the purpose of ar
raying the masses on the side of the
president and deceiving them into do
ing the very opposite from what they
really desired to do. But so far as we
are able to. judge, we would say that
Morgan and Roosevelt are really enc
mics.
J.P. Morgan is undoubtedly power
in the land. He is the financial king of
America, if not of the world. He was
not the originator of the trust idea IN
this country, maybe; but he is the lead
ing exponent of it. He has organized
more combinations of capital than any
other man living, and has made these
combinations larger and more powerful
He is as great in the financial world
as was Alexander, Caesar or Bonaparte
in the political world. The operations
of the combinations, of which he is the
head, extend to every nook and corner
of this great country, and as their
complete success depends in large
measure upon the conduct of the gov
ernment, it is natural that he should
desire to have a paramount influence
in politics as we'll as in business. Of
course, it can be readily understood
that Mr.. Morgan cares nothing about
platforms or parties. What he is inter-
ested in most is a friendly government,

Within the last few weeks in two coun-
ties, loans of $4,000 and $500, which
ought to have been settled with funds
on hand, have slipped through the
hands Of those who ought to have dis
covered the irregularities, and the coun-
ty officials did not know whether these
claims had been paid or not and GER
tainly If the county grand juries and
county officials did not know of such
Irregularities, the average taxpayer
could not be expected to know it. The
comptroller generals office hopes to be
able to present tables from the various
counties showing exactly what amount
of Indebtedness Is outstanding against
each of them. It will be a difficult
matter to get this data up correctly, but
when it is prepared with care it will
be important and valuable. A great
many counties have warrants outstand-
ing of which they keep no record, and
a systematic plan on the part Of the
state authorities will at least have the
merit of getting the counties started
right in keeping tab of what they owe
and how the various sinking funds and
bond accounts stand, and letting the
public know. While on the subject Of
singing fund, it may be interesting to
note that the states sinking fund must
now carry itself, and that it's main in
crease will have to come from the in
terest account. The sinking fund now
amounts to about half a million of dol
lars. This fund was largely built up
from the royalties on phosphate rock In
the days of the Coosaw company. More
than 5000, 1000 a year has been paid into
the states Golfers from the royalty OF
phosphate rock, but since the goose
which laid the golden egg was killed
the annual royalty has dwindled down
year by year and now is only about $2O,-
900 a year, and the prospect Is that 1t
will be even less. The state sinking
fund was created for the purpose or
retiring the states bonds. 1t will be
a slow process, but the half million
that is now on hand will at least be
available for that purpose when the
bonds are due. The state now holds,
having purchased them in open market,
about $4,000 worth Of state bonds. 1t
has loaned to the state house commits
sion, for the purpose of completing the
state house, about $175,0OO, of which two
instalments of 5000 have already been
paid as agreed upon and subsequent
annual payments will have to be paid
at the same rate. The state has loan
ed to the various borrowing counties
about S125,OOO, for which the county
taxes are pledged, and the counties are
paying the state sinking fund nomi-
nal interest. The remainder of the
fund, about 100000, is on deposit in
state banks, drawing interest, at the
rate Of per cent. If the income had
continued as of old from CoosaW, 1t
would not have been difficult for the
state to have 'iped out as much as a
million or two Of the states debt each
time the bonds had to be renewed.

IT Is not likely that the mine opera
tors would object seriously to govern
ment ownership and operation Of their
property. After they have received the
price they will demand, it will make
but little difference to them who the
owners and operators are. Government
ownership looks like a pretty good
scheme to sell coal mines at long
prices.

Justice McIYer's Place.

Columbia Record: The following sto-
ry is printed in the Anderson Mail:
IAN interesting story Is going the
rounds among the Anderson lawyers
and politicians The story comes fcre
from Columbia, and Is to the effect
that Chief Justice -fcIver, of the state
supreme court, who has been In wretch
ed health for several months, has de-
cided to tender his resignation. The
resignation, it Is said, will be rendered
about the first of the year. Naturally
there has been more or less specula-
tion as to his successor. According to
the story in circulation here, move
ment is on foot to have Associate JUS
tice Pope elected to the position Of chief
justice, and then, it is said, Justice
Pope's place will go. to an up-country
man, and Hon. ]. P. Cary, of Pickens,
Is spoken Of as the most available and
at the same time the most suitable man
for the position" No one here knows
how such a story originated. Chief
Justice McIver is a very sick man; but
if he has any idea Of resigning it has
not been made known here But should
such a thing occur, Mr.. Cary would
not be the only candidate by any
means. But until Chief Justice McIver
acts, if he has any such intention, 1t
is not worth while to worry about the
matter.

he went on the farm and was for long
time one of the Largest and most sue
cessful farmers in this county. The
law was his chosen profession, and ne
was admitted to the bar few year af-
ter leaving college. He farmed and
practiced law up to the time of his elec-
ton to the office Of probate judge, 10
years ago. He represented this coun-
ty i'm the lower house of the legislature
for two terms since the war. He has
been elected to the office of PROBATE
Judge four times without opposition.
Captain Wilson entered the Confederate
service a private and came out at the
end of four years as captain Of Compa-
nv D, 1st South Carolina cavalry. He
was a consistent member of the Pres-
byterian church, has lived a long and
useful life: was an honest man, stur-
dy old-time citizen; brave and rear
less soldier, and faithful, painstaking
officer. He leaves a large circle OF
warm friends throughout the county,
who will mourn his loss and tender
their deepest sympathy to the only
remaining member of the family, Miss
Fannie, his only daughter.
The States Finances.
August Kohn in News and Courier:
A good deal has recently been written
about the condition of the states imam
ces. The necessity of getting the state
upon a borrowing basis has here
tofore been mentioned. The counties
are integral parts of the state, but far
too little is known about the financial
condition of the counties. Of course,
the chief requirement is that the coun-
ties should be satisfied with their own
financial condition. The fact of the
matter, however, is that most people In
the counties do not pretend to inquire
into the county finances as they should.
Take the average man and he hardly
knows whether the county is operating
upon a cash basis or not, and it is a
rarity if he can tell how much money
his county has borrowed, and certain
ly not one in a hundred taxpayers can
tell the aggregate Indebtedness of the
county, bonded, by notes or floating.
It is really a very much more serious
condition than might be supposed.
