SAFETY OF WARRANTS.

Local people who are allowing
the Denver investors to buy the entire
issue Of Florence city warrants month
after month, as is now the case, are
making an error. for there Ia no bet
ter investment to be had than city.
county and state warrants and bonds.
These Denver buyers know the sta
bility of the paper and know that
they will be called IN and paid, plus
six per cent interest for the time they
have run. And they are taking all
they can get Of them. But, some-
how. the people of Florence are slow
in taking hold and the reason is hard
to understand. The present condi-
tion Of the city finances are such
that these warrants run about four
years before being called. And
since they are sold at five per
cent discount, still better interest
on the investment is made. Four
years at six per cent means twenty
four cents interest and the five per
cent discount brings the interest to
twenty mine cents or an average of
seven and one fourth per cent per an
num. This is good interest and the
security is first-class az each of those
warrants represent a first mortgage on
the city. The issue here is sometimes
about 81. 900 month, and, as a rule.
the entire issue ,s sent to Denver.
where there Is ready and constant
market for them.

CRIME AND DRINK

Among the articles sent out this
week by the Associated Prohibition
Press Publicity Bureau is found the
following suggestions:
If the daily press would classify
regularly all the crimes, suicides. rail-
road accidents, business failures. con-
fiagr~tions. divorces, deaths, the po-
litical and social scandals due to
drink and the drink traffic. the nation
would rise en- masse inside of one IL
month and sweep the whole curse into
the depths Of the Atlantic and Pa
cific.
Let the great metfops1ftan news
papers instruct the Associated Press
to report the part that drink plays i'm
the daily harvest Of debauchery,
crime, destruction of private and pub
lie property and depreciation of labor,
wages ard civic credit, and let these
impartial records write the death
warrant for the business.
Let us inaugurate a movement to-
give the liquor traffic all the publicity

FAMILY MILEAGE BOOKS.
Judge X. G. Watts Puts Important
Question to Railroad Commission.

+ Judge r. c. Watts of Cheraw has
written the railroad commission that
the Seaooard Air Line will not sell
family mileage books good for trans
portation outside Of the State. Judge
Watts thinks that this mileage should
be good over the entire system and
asks for a ruling from the commission
ON the matter. IL will be recalled that
about two years ago the general as
sembly passed a law requiring all
railroads to sell mileage books good
for any member Of any family pur-
chasing same. The question as to the
validity OF these books outside of the
strte has never been tested and the

1 have read these resolutions with
much interest, and I believe that the
Sumter chamber Of commerce. in
adopting these resolutions, is contrib
uting to the advancement of the best
interests Of Sumter. and the entire
State of South Carolina. I believe
that your chamber Of commerce made
no mistake in expressing the opinion
that the future increased population.
prosperity and wealth of South Caro-
lima Is largely dependent on increased
railway mileage and facilities To take
care OF the continual increasing de-
mands made upon them by the
growth of the State" am satisfied
that one Of the most urgent needs of
our entire Southern section is more
emclent transportation facilities, and I
ipeiieve, therefore, that it is to the in
ferest OF the people, fully as much as
that the. .<Nublicl poll
cies of our States should be such as
I" encourage railway development.
believe that the people of South
Carolina will have no reason to regret
the conservative policy of their lepis-
iature in dealing with transportation
matters, and I believe that the best
interests of the carriers and of the
public served by them, will be ad-
vanced by harmonious co-operatior
under laws promoting the largest
amount Of freedom Of action, consist
ent with the protection Of the public
from wrong. and the guaranteeing to

BRYAN ENDORSES POINTS IN
PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.
when Interviewed In Pittsburg He
Said That He Heartily Approved OF
Campaign Fund Proposition And
Postal Savings Banks.

Pittsburg, Dec. 4.-Wm. J. Bryan.
en- route to his home in Lincoln, Neb..
arrived here today from Washington.
BY appointment, Mr.. Bryan met his
wife and daughter at the Fort Pitt
hotel The latter are bound for New
York, whence they will sail for Eu-
rope Saturday s ttE
Mr.. Bryan will not accompany
them. he said, on account of his lec-
ture engagements.
Mr.. Bryan was reluctant to discuss
President Roosevelt's message to con-
gress, saying that he had not sufficient
time to read it through He however
commented freely on several of the
most important issues and gave Presi-
dent Roosevelt credit for introducing
an original proposition in suggesting
the appropriation of campaign funds
by the government. --.---..-.
"IShope," he said chat it will be
enacted into a law"
ans idea comedies with the texture
OF the message. He is strictly in ac-
cord with the president concerning
postal savings banks and Guaranteed
banks. He said:
The plan Of the guaranteed bank
is simply this: Statistics show the ay-
erage' loss to depositors to be very
small taking all the banks together:
but the depositors are afraid because
they do not know much about the af
fairs Of any particular bank. The
postmaster general, in recommending
the postal savings banks, called atten-
ton to the fact that a large sum of
money is sent back to the government
banks Of Europe by people who are
afraid to trust the private banks here,
ana Mr. Wannamaker has been quot
ed as saying that large sum is kept
in boarding and hiding places in this
country
"lf this sum can be drawn into the
banks and thus be put into channels
OF trade it will relieve the stringency
more effectively than ..nything else
The postal bank will do this to
limited extent, but not completely. for
in the plan proposed the depositors
will be limited as to each person and
there will be no checking account al
lowed.
"The system Of the guaranteed
banks cOntemplates the absolute
guarantee by the government of such
banks as may voluntarily enter into
the system. In entering the system
they agree to reimburse the govern
ment in proportion to their deposits
for any loss incurred by the govern
ment in payment of depositors in fail
ed banks. During the last 40 years
the average loss among national
banks has been less than one-tenth
of 1 per cent Of deposits and as we
have been through two panics in that
time it is not likely that the average |
loss will be greater during the next
40 years.
TO sum up the situation, the de. |
positors need security and this must |
either be given by the postal savings
banks. which will grow until it has
absorbed the deposit banking of the
country, or it must be furnished
through the guarantee Of existing
banks"
