THE LOSERS IN LIES RACE.

Everybody knows that the losers in
life's race far outnumber those who
have succeeded, but seldom is the fact
brought home with as much force as in
some figures compiled by Mr.. Chioz-
Money for the London Post
Seven hundred thousand persons died
in Great Britain in 1907. OF these,
6l7,S79 left absolutely no property
whatever. The other 80, l2l left proper.
ty to the value of $l,496,670, 900. But
even this does not express the disparity
of fortune in the world, for of the
s2,12l almost two.thirds died, leaving
on the average only $1,000, and 10000
additional left virtually all the proper.
ty, or certainly over billion dollars ;
worth.
The state of society where such a
condition is possible IS not likely to
arouse much enthusiasm in the minds of
social reformers. Philosophers will say
there must be something radically
wrong in system that produces so
great an inequality of wealth. Most of
the 100000 persons who died IN 1907
were producers, yet the means of dis
tribution of the wealth created were so
faulty that the production, above the
necessary amount for subsistence, went
wholly to only $1,000 of their number.
1t is unthinkable that these $1,000
were the only members of the com
pany who, in Professor Barrett Wen

ABOLISH STOCK GAMBLING.

To segregate stock gambling as is
done in Europe and to make both un-
profitable and illegal the use of other
peoples money by Wall street gamblers
without the consent of the real owner,
three short, simple changes in the state
and national banking laws would suf-
fee, according to the New York World,
whose remedy is as follows:
First-Require every bank to keep
its legal reserve in the form of legal
tender money in its own vaults, instead
of as bank credits in Wall street. This
would retain in the banks of the manu-
featuring and agricultural sections of
the country the real money necessary
for wages and for moving the crops
Second-Proh;bit the payment of in
terest on demand deposits. A demand
deposit is the correlative to a call loan,
which is Wall street gambling device.
Commercial banks cannot afford to pay
interest of demand deposits. The stock
exchange banks can and do. BY pro
hibiting any bank from paying interest
except on time deposits the Wall street
banks will be made unable to divert
accounts which properly belong to com.
mereial banks.
Third-Divide all check account
banks into two classes-commercia and
finance; that is, banks of discount and
deposit, which make loans only for the
fac:litation of trade, commerce and
manufacture, and finance banks, which
loan for speculative purposes on pro-
motions, syndicate allotments, stock
exchange collateral and the like. Then
restrict every bank so that it may not
do both kinds of business, and compel
trust companies to be trust companies
and not banks This distinction has
been long recognized IN England,
France and Germany.
This remedy is national. These
amendments to the banking laws would
cut off the main source of supply by
which the Wall street gamblers are en-
abled to risk other peoples money.

Florence, and he did not believe
that the people in other parts of
the district, whose congressman al
SO represented Florence, could
lack interest in the matter.
MIR. r.Ragsdale went into a full
discussion Of the Florence affair,
which has already been published
in the Advocate and Democrat.
He denied that he tried to get him
self appointed postmaster. He read
Senator Tillman'r letter saying
that if Ellerbe had not published
that interview, he was confident
he could have prevented the reap
polntment Of the negro, Wilson.
MIR. Ellerbe said at Marion that
Finley and Lever urged him to
publish the statement about Rags
dale. Lever went to Marion and
said he did not urge Ellerbe to
publish it, but, on the other hand,
urged him not to publish it.
Ellcrbe now says that Finley
and others" urged him to publish
it.
MIR. Ragsdale shook his finger
at Mr.. Ellcrbe and defed him to
name the Others" !" but Mr.. Ellerbe
remained silent.
Mr.. Ragsdale said he believed
that Mr.. Ellerbe had published
the interview for the purpose of
lnjuNing him, and in doing SO he
had55prevented the appointment of
a white man as postmaster at Flor.

Ssar. Ragsdale said that Mr..
Elleibe had told about his work
inr2 i,''r the great leaders of the
Democratic party and about the
money expended by the republi-
cans, but he had not told about
his dcscrting the Democratic lead
ers and going with few other
Democrats to the aid Of the Re.
publlcans to pass the army bill
with a raise Of twenty million dol
lars. If the nine Democrats had
not voted with the Republicans,
the bill could not have passed
Williams and Clayton and Dear
mond and the other Democrat
leaders were fighting the bill, but
lIllcrbc deserted them and helped
the Republicans pass it.
Shaking lis finger at Mr.. Ellcrbc,
Mr. Ragsdale asked, Isn't that
so!n
MIR. Ellcrbc shock his head.
MIR. Ragsdalc then called Mr..

him his congressional record from
his room.
Mr.. Illlerbe then said, "Oh, |

combe to fight it."

MEND WAYS OR

SAYS MR.. MURCHISON OF
CAMPANGNERS
Ragsdale and Ellerbe in Warm
Debate Hodges Made Good
Speech at Clio

AOOuV IoO ICOplC llCul " VilC WI
gressional candidates ut Clio Fri
day. They spoke from the porch
of the Hotel Clio, and the meeting
was presided over by the chairman
of the Clio club, jeff ID Edens.
There was very little cheering
for any of the candidates. The
hearers stood and sat out on the
ground and quietly listened to all
the speeches.
j r Coggeshall was first intro
Aduced, and spoke, in part as fol-
lows: q
In my speech at Bennettsville,
on July 1st, l made the statement
that, with the single exception Of
Camden, Benncttsville post office
paid more than any post Office in
the state for which an appropria-
tion had not already been made for
a building; that there was one post
Office, the Abbeville office, which
was given $4,000 appropriation
in the last bill, which paid less
than Bennettsville, and at least ten
or o dozen Offices in the, south
winch paid less thanSB BenneJts tsViile,
and chat Benncttsville was, there
fore, entitled to be included in the
next public building bill.
Mr.. Ellerbc, who came after
me, stated that, with the single ex
ceptlon Of Abbcvillc post office,
the post Office at Darlington paid
less than any Office included in the
a]ast bill, and that there was no ap-
preparation included in the last
bill for building where the office
paid as little as Bcnnettsville Office.
feel that it is my duty to my
self to set myself right in regard
to this conflict of opinion between
Mr.. Ellcrbe and myself before
leaving Marlboro county.
Under the postal law and rcgula-
tion Of 1902, which is the present
law on the subject, the salary of a
post master is based exclusively
upon the receipts of the Office.
Now, Mr. Ellcrbc said that there
was no appropriation included in
the last bill for a building where
the receipts were as small as the
receipts of the Bcnncttsyillc office,
and with the single exception Of
the Abbcvllle Office, the office at
Darlington had the smallest re-
Rlpts Of any office included in the
bill.
The United States official postal
guide of 1908 gives the salary of
the Abbcvillc post master as
81, 800; the salary Of the Benefits
vile post master as 81, 800. Thus
it appears that there is not only
m appropriation included in the
Dill for an Office which pays as lit
1tlc as the Bcnncttsville office, but
one in South Carolina which paws
less than Benncttsvillc, and by an
inspection of the bill and an cx-
animation Of the United States Of
ficial postal guide, it will be found
that appropriations were made for
at lcasta dozen Offices in the south
ern states paying less than Ben
ncttsville. Both the postal law and
regulations Of 1902 and the United
States sllicial postal guide of 1908
can be found at your post Office.
and by an inspection you can de-
terminc whether Mr.. IIllerbc or
myself is correct with reference to
this matter, and insist again that
Bcnncttsville may reasonably hope
ITO be included in the next public
building Bill.

control the price Of cotton and
ether products. Even the honor of
gamblers is lacking with these
people.
The state legislature has pro-
hibited bucket shops, but our peo-
pie still trade through New York
exchanges. 1t will take an act of
Congress to stop it. The Hepburn
bill is now pending in Congress.
The Republicans have forsaken it.,
and it will take the Democrats to
pass it.
j. E. ELLERBE.
Said he asked for reelection on
his record. Had nothing to say
against opponents, said if any
charges we're made against him by
those that followed him, he want
ed five minutes to reply. The men
of influence in Congress had been
there q long time.
Replying to Mr.. Coggeshall's
statement about Darlington post
Office, he said Darlington was the
smallest place in the bill when it
left the House. Senator Gary had
Abbeville interested.

l.gg IL. 38, a haye more than. doubled
that number.
Kissing goes by favor up in

ter General DeGraw was a warm
friend Of Mr.. Callahan, who was
part owner Of the hotel at which |

specten and the routes put into OPP
Grafton while thousands older than
mine were waiting.
Mr.. Ellerbe spoke in favor of the
distribution Of seed by the gov
mcnt and SAID he had been called
Farmer jim" on account of q
speech ON that subject. He said
he had selected Marlboro for the
experiment station Of the sixth
district. a soil survey viii be be-
gun in Horny in November.
Said he had been able to get on
rivers and harbors committee
where he could get appropriations
for waterways.
At this point Mr.. Ragsdalc
warned MIR. Ellcrbe that he was
going to discuss the Florence post
ollice matter, and thought that Mr..
Ellcrbe should finish his speech
now instead Of replying after the
others finished. There was some
discussion Of this and Mr..
Ellcrbc finally went into discus
sion of the matter. He said the
Florence post Office did not con-
Germ the public here, and Mr..
Ragsdalc could run on that if he
had nothing else to run on.
He said that Ragsdalc asked him
to go with him to the president in
order to tell him that if the ne
gro Wilson was rcappointcd post
master the people Of Florence
would kill him and also that Rags
lalc asked him to get Ragsdaie
appointed postmaster and he
would let Wilson draw the sui

urged him to publish what Rags

Mr.. Hodges, and 1 will use every
effort to have legislation passed to
benefit the farming interests. The
producers are entitled to just con-
sideration. All others depend up
on them and get their support from
them.
The foundation Of our hope rests
in the success Of Democracy this
fall. If defeated, all hope Of good
government and beneficial legisla-
tion goes down, temporarily at
least.
Every Democrat should do his
duty and vote for the man Of his
choice who will render assistance
to our peerless leader, William
Jennings Bryan. (applause)
Mr.. Ellerbe said that Mr.. Finley
had $50 rural routes when he went
to congress. The records show
that he has only 144 now, after
working all this time.
Mr.. Ellerbe: Oh we'll, l said
about 145 or $50.
Mr.. Hodges: The records show

to have taken him out at the end

MIR. Hodges closed with an cl-
oquent appeal to the voters to
measure his qualifications bv every
test, and to vote for him if they
found him to measure up to the re-
qulrcmcnts. (applausc)
WILLIAM MUEC!IISON.
MIR. Nlurchison began By saying
that this office for the past several
years has been sold to the highest
bidder and the proceeds turned IN
to cheap corn whiskcy for the de-
morallzatlon Of the people. He.
said he had employed detectives to
ferret out those who attempt to
buy votes in this campaign, "and
