A BANKING system that cannot

A BANKING system that cannot
maintain its credit without impair
ment in times of great prosperity
and industrial activity, will hardly
do to depend upon it to serve in
times of industrial depression. If
this example of the fallibility of
our banking system shall result in
wiping out the whole system built
on greed and confidence and re-
placing it with a system that is
scientific and in which all who con-
tribute to its credit will be sharers
of its benefits, the lesson will be
worth while. If, however, it re-
suits in an asset currency. you will
have financial system that is like
house of cards, when one starts
to fall all will follow. If confidence
can be secured long enough to al
low the banks to float their ficti-
tious money known as asset cur
rency, we will have a period of un-
paralleled speculation followed by
the greatest financial crash the
world has ever seen.-Farmington

THE killing of Joseph A. Walk

THE killing of Joseph A. Walk
er at Hesperus the first of the
month, is calling forth considerable
editorial comment in our exchanges
and yet there might be one cause
for this killing which none of these
comments have hinted at, and that
is the records of the last sessions
of court in this district. The man
who is murderer at heart is only
restrained from shedding blood be-
cause of his fear of the law, and
when a man or party of men con-
slider the murder of a fellowman
they first figure the cost. If the
cost is considered too great they
are restrained. if not the murder is
committed. There is nothing on
the records of the last sessions of
court in the Sixth Judicial District
to discourage the murderer, and il
Walker was killed with felonious
intent these records, more than any
other cause, are to blame.

considerable criticism is constantly
brought, against US as a people, be-
cause it is said that sthe negro is
not reliable as laborer.' The lead
ers and teachers of our people must
see to it that there is a change In
this respect.
emo section of the South is more
interested from financial point of
view in the success of the negro than
is true of this State. In the first
place, it is tremendously important
that the negro be happy, that peace
exist between the races, because
there can be no satisfactory labor
when the white man and the black
man are at daggers' points. The
more the laborer is satisfied, the bet
ter service will he render.
"I have referred to the subject Of
making negro lagor reliable. One
way to do it (and that is what the
Tuskegee Institute has been driving
at among other things) in the first
place is to teach the negro laborer
the dignity Of labor.
am glad to see that In South
Carolina these lessons are being in
stilled into our people. There is not
a white family in South Carolina
that should not be vitally interested
in the Improvement of then egro
woman especially in the improve
ment of the negro nurse.
| fright here in Columbia there
should be large central train
ing school for the training of domes
| tic servants. Such a school should
be in every large city in the South
We could furnish the teachers fo.
these communities.
"The food that goes into th'
bodies Of the majority Of the whit
families in South Carolina is pre-
pared and served three times da.
by the hands Of the negro women
| 1t is mighty important that the wo
man who prepares and serves tn
food which is to make blood an
bones and flesh and brain for tn
white people, as well as members o
her own race, be just as intelligent
skilled and conscientious as possl

first negro race conference ever he'o

Washington spoke in the after
nocn at Allen University, negro r.
sitution o. ,his city. and at night al
dressed la1ge audience at the Co.
lumbia Theatre. The first floor OF
the house was reserved for white
people. Seated on the stage were
several prominent white citizens, to-
gether with large number Of negro
leaders from this and other States.
Washington, after praising the
work of Rev. Richard Carroll, the
moving spirit Of the conference, SAID
that the holding Of this conference IN
South Carolina was, in his opinion,
evidence that the friendly feeling be-
tween the races was steadily grow
ing. Washington said in part:
II was born here in the South, my
early boyhood was spent in slavery
here in the South and there is no
spot on earth so dear to me as the
soil of our Southern States, where
We Of both races for so many years
have lived and toiled.
William E. Gonzales, editor Of The
State, spoke to the conference at
the noon session, expressing gratif-
eatlon at the meeting being held IN
Columbia. Observance Of law by
both races was the surest guarantee
Of harmony in the South. 1t is the
province Of white leaders to impress

On the whites, and Of the negro lead
