THIEVES RAID A STORE
DOWN AT D'SOTO

Sheriff Bell was advised yesterday
morning of the burglarizing of G..
w Bagley's store at DeSoto Some
time during Sunday night thieves
smashed glass window at the front
of the store thereby effecting en-
trance to the building. The burglars
took plenty of time and selected
whatever they wanted in shoes, dry
goods, etc, and peacefully departed.
So far there is no clue upon which
the officers can work in apprehending
the burglars, evidently a punk bunch
of noviees.

YIELD OF SYRUP WILL
BEAT THE RECORD

Sumter farmers are putting up just
now what is probably the best syrup
crop made in several years. 1t is the
genuine Georgia cane syrup, fa-
nous the world over for it's sweet
ness and absolute purity. A great
cane crop was made this year, and
thousands of barrels syrup will be
stored away in Sumter county smoke
houses. Mr.. NJ N. Edwards, who
owns a fine farm near Americus, has
just finished putting up several humid
red gallons of particularly fine sy-
rup, Theoretically sealed in one gallon
tin cans, which preserves the fine
flavor and sweetness for years.

ADOPT WILLIAMS BILL
Minority Agree to Report II Az Sub
stitutc for the Fowler Act.

Minority Agree to Report I, AS Sub
stitutc for the Fowler Act.
WASHINGTON March 9-The Demo-
cratic members of the House Commit
tee on Banking and Currency to-day
agreed to report the minority currency
BILL introduced by John Sharp Will
liams as substitute for the Fowler
bill.
In the course of their report the
minority say:
I'VE oppose the bill because it
virtually takes from the government all
power to regulate and safeguard the
national banks of the country, and
wholly gives over the control of such
institutions to q board of managers
which is selected by the banks them
Selves
The minority also takes exception
to the provisions of the bill requiring
the retirement of greenbacks; COM
plains that 1t makes banks the agents
of the government for the transaction
of all its business, and urges the made
uuacy of the interest charge. 1t is also
charged that under the operation of
the proposed law all State banks and
savings and trust companies would
Inevitably be driven out of business.
with the banks all organized under
one system, enjoying sole and complete
power to issue all moneys as they deem
proper will there not be great danger
either from contraction or initiation of
the amount OF money in circulation
they ask. will 1t not be in the abso-
lutte power OF these banks, or their
board OF managers, to make money
scarce or to make it plentiful; to make
the rate of interest high or make 1t
cheap: to cause depression or to pro-
duce relaxation? Surely Congress is
being asked to delegate to the banks a
most dangerous and wonderful power
in giving them absolute control of the
medium of all values-money-and in
comforting on them sole power TO is
sue money in such quantities as they
think wise. The minority members of
the committee say emphatically that
this country is not ready to delegate
such dangerous power. Without doubt
the most serious proposition with which
Congress has had to deal in many
years is the regulation and control of
the great corporations that have grown
over powerful and beyond the control
OF the government. Yet, wuile we are
planning ways whereby we may wisely
and justly subject these great inter
ests TO government regulation, we are
asked b. the Fowler bill TO create a
banking system all-powerful. with
complete and undispued authority TO
Issue the circulating medium of the
country in Guantity, in manner. and at
times 10 please, those fortunate enough
to enjoy this great special privilege"
The minority conclude by urging the
acceptance Of the Williams bill as a
substitute for the Fowler bin. OF the
Williams bill they say in part:
The minority members OF the COM
mittee commend the bill herewith pre-
scented as being practical, conservative
and safe, and believe it comes nearer
TO adjusting the financial situation
than any other measure submitted"
