into prominence today by the announce ment of the Pennsylvania note issue for $5O,000OO0. The fact in itself that resort to this form of financing was considered by the most powerful railroad corpora tions in the country was of adverse ef- feet on sentiment. It amounts to the admission that market conditions are not proptious for the offering of capital is sues of a more permanent form. and which may be expected to follow to pro vide resources for taking up the tenn porary note issues The inference is dis couraging to hopes of an improved de- mand for other securities. The terms of the issue also were unfavorably re- garded While the interest rate on the notes was called Az per cent the under standing of the price at which they were sold pointed to per cent, while the sup
 position of a commission in addition to the bankers bringing out the issue opened the way to an assumption that the com
 pany was paying a still higher rate for the use of the money. It was feared that other intended capital issues might be impeded by the same unfavorable condi- tfons, and there was some talk of another possible era of railroad note issues inn pending as the volume of projected capiA tai issues is known to be large. a''

certain parties should approach me

ATTEMPT TO BRIBE
CANDIDATE FOR HOUSE

The Law and Order league of Aiken
county offered reward of $25 for the
arrest and conviction of any one who
attempted bribery, and the people
have been congratulating themselves
on having had the cleanest election

However, the following open letter
from Mr.. j. Cal Courtney, candidate

people were not very much impressed
by the conspicuous signs of the Law

JOHN M. KNIGHT.

In the death Of Col. John M.
Knight, Of Sumter, the press Of South
Carolina has sustained a loss which
will be deeply felt. Col. Knight was
editor OF the Sumter Herald, and he
made it one Of the best weekly news
papers in the state. lie took pride in
his work because lie loved it. In the
making Of newspaper he did his
duty, and he did it well.
He was distinguished member Of
the knights of Pythias, having sue
ceedcd Hon Geo. S. Mower as grand
chancellor.
He never aspired to public Office,
but he was for years chairman of the
Sumter county democracy.
Col. Knight had been in critical
health for some time, but notwith-
standing the fact that it was known
that his days were numbered, he went
to the meeting Of the Press Associa-
ton at the Isle of Palms in July, and
mingled with his workers. He
was i'll during the meeting, but it was
4 satisfaction to him to grasp the
hands Of his old friends, and it was
Il pleasure to them. They knew him
and they knew his worth and the value
Of his friendship.
In his newspaper work, COL Knight
always worked for those movements
which were for the upbuilling Of
South Carolina and her people. He
was writer Of ability. and this abil-
ity was always freely given to what
ever he conceived to bc for the rood
OF his people.
He was the fricnd' Of The editor of
The Herald and News. and in his
death we fell Il deep personal loss.
On many pleasant occasions we have
been with him. and we learned to
know him as hr was. Il man true to his
life work and true to his friends. lie
has now found rest from his lahurS.
that rest tn which those who have en-
gagged in the work which hr carried ON
S" successfully all look forward to:
"Wc shall rest. for faith, we shall
need it-lie down for an aeon
or two,
Till the Master of all good workmcn
shall set us to work anew.
"And only the Master shall praise MS,
and only the Master shall
blame;
And no one shall work for money, and
no one shall work for fame;
But each for the joy Of working, and
each in his separate star,
Shall draw the Thing as he secs it.,
for the God Of Things as They
Are.'

AN OLD TIME BALL.
Society Function to BE Held In New
YOrix-GhOst Dance q Feature.

Society Function to BE Held I'm New
YOrk--GhOst Dance a Feature.
Arrangements are being made to give
New York real old fashioned Knick-
erbocker ball-one representing the
people and the period of the early
years Of Manhattan's settlement, says
the New York Times. It's invitation
list is to include the old line aristoc-
racy Of New York, and it's tone is to be
exclusive. Weymer Jay Mills, who is
descendant Of the Jay family and
who is a member of the City club, is
planning it and intends holding the
ball in the old Astor House downtown,
where the Vans and Tens back in the
thirties danced and dined In what was
then the heart Of the metropolis. The
old Astor House hasn't had a full
hedged ball for many years.
Historical color will be given the af-
fair through the costumes Of the men
| and women who will attend. The men
will wear the orthodox evening coat
and trousers, with straps about the
instep to hold the trousers over spat-
ted boots. This will be set off with
the fluffy frilled shirt and the broad
tie Of the years gone by. The women
will be expected to wear the hoopskirt
and old fashioned waist, with hair
dressed after the style OF the period.
The intention is to hold the ball in
the main dining room Of the Astor
House. 1t is probable that the dance
Will take place some time in March or
April 1t is said that while many fam
lilies Of New York's best society will
attend the invitation list will be linn
tied to the families whose ancestors
were among the early settlers of the
city. The ballroom will be decorated
appropriately. and the supper menu
will be as nearly as possible like those
OF the early, years of the last century
in New York.
Another picturesque incident is to be
a "ghost dance" Promptly at II
o'clock on the night Of the ball the ball
room will be darkened, and dance in
memory of the bellies and beaus who
were there SO many years ago will be
given. The dining room Of the old AS
tor House, used as a dancing hall, has
been the scene of many famous social
events. 1t was here that the Prince ue
Joinville of France was entertained in
the early forties.

Knowing that we are DESTROYS

That he'd act his part much wiser
If he'd shelve his battleax.

He found his wife waiting for him in
