ANALYSIS OF THE HAZER-A hazer
who goes to the room Of STU
dent and intiicts injuries upon him
should be punished exactly as he
would be if he were to go out and en-
ter the home Of a citizen and intiict
punishment on the members OF the
household The hazer should be sup
pressed. He is a cowardly sneak, the
hazer is The boy who goes around
under cover of darkness and backed
by superior numbers of cattle of his
own stripe wantonly inflicting punish
ment on his fellow students, has a
streak of cowardce as broad as a barn
door running through his whole NOR
al system. A haZer will never fill a
mans place when either moral or ply
sical courage is needed. He Is a white
Iivered, cringing coward, the hazer Is,
ever and always when the bugle calls
for true bravery are sounded. He Is
the fellow who will desert friend in
the face of danger, who will go over
to the enemy in the storm of battle
this is the stripe Of "man-thing" your
haZer turns out to be after he leaves
school and goes out into the world
of men. In after years you will always
find that the hazer's soul Is made or
putty when men Of iron-soul are call
ed upon to perform any duty.-Mon-

BANK AND WAREHOUSE.
Two Things Of Which the Farmers
Stand In Need.

Editor Of The Yorkville Enquirer
have q suggestion or two that de-
sire to throw out for the consideration
Of the farmers Of York county and that
Is that 1t will be we'll for them to look
forward to the organization Of a bank
and warehouse. both to be strictly un-
der the control of the Farmers Union.
1 am not disposed to offer any unfa-
vorable criticism Of any Of the existing
banking institutions. There has been
some complaint against some of them;
but 80 far as I have been able to in
form myself, this complaint has not
been based upon objections that can be
sustained as legitimate reflection. 1t
may be that some Of the banks are not
disposed to look as carefully after the
interests Of the cotton producers as
they might; but then they are not own
ed and operated in the interest Of cot
ton producers. If we had a bank so
owned and operated. then we would be
able to know the why and wherefore.
All Of us who have any idea Of bus
iness, of course. understand that II we
undertake to organize a bank. We must
go down into our pockets after the ne
eessary capital, and We must put the
institution in charge of the most COM
petent and experienced ability that Is
to be found amongst US. 1t must not
be thought for moment that a bank
ing business can be organized or oper-
Ated on wind, and after our bank Is es-
tablished we must not encourage any
body to think that they will be able to
secure loans or any different basis than
now obtains In the banks that are al
ready in the business. We must look
forward to doing business on business
principles just as other banks do. and
t,,ok SNfh fhn, knta l. fhn
favoring their own customers first, we
must look first to taking care OF our
customers and the members Of the I'm
ion.
The ownership Of a warehouse Is just
as important as the ownership Of a
bank It does not occur to me that we
should look forward to the idea OF try~
ing to confine our business to our
selves. 1t Should be our purpose to
squarely enter the competitive market.
II other warehouse managers can do
better for us than we can do for our
selves then we will give them the bus
mess; but II we prove that we can
store cotton cheaper or more satisfac-
torily than II Is now being stored, we
can bring the others to our basis OF
operations.
1t seems to me that provided they are
properly managed O bank and a ware
house can be made to operate to the
very great advantage Of cotton produc-
ers. We believe that the existence OF
such institutions under strict Union
control and along strict business lines
will confer benefits that are not now
dreamed Of and the whole thing Is
we'll worth careful consideration at the
hands Of all producers Of cotton

missions Expenses.
There was another personal privi-
lege statement in the senate last Mon
day anent the dispensary winding up
commission and Attorney w. F. Ste
venson. Senator Johnson was the
speaker, he said:
.."Mr. President:s In my remarks on
Thursday last on bill No. 669, Mr.,
Christensen's bill, to Appropriate the
sum of $4,000 to enable Mr.. Lyon to
secure counsel to prosecute alleged
grafters, / stated in opposition OF the
bill that the investigating committee
had already spent $4,000 Of the peo-
pies money without any results. That
the winding-up commission had spent
$50, 1000 during the year Of their ex-
istence, and II statements and charges
In the public prints were true and TO
be relied upon, in refusing to accept an
offer that was said to have been made
by firm or corporation outside OF the
state to take over the entire stock or
liuuors, wines, ETC., including dead
stock, odds and ends, at their original
invoice price and having subsequently
sold the stock at discount Of 20 per
cent on the dollar, which resulted In
another loss Of 100000 to the people
of South Carolina. I did not say how
or for what purpose the $4,000 was
spent. but / simply said that 1t had
been spent by the commission. Any
statement to the contrary is false. But
1t now develops and is shown by their
own record that $59,3S9.66 was spent
by them, instead OF $4,000 as stated IN
my argument, and the Sl5,OOO gwen
them by order Of Judge Pritchard ana
h.y no inUncfiUQfinQ
committee, together with the Sl5,Oeu
carried by the Christensen bill, will
make an aggregate of the enormous
sum of $4,000 in round numbers or
the dispensary fund that has been got
ten away with in one way or another,
which is over one-eighth Of the total
amount Of the entire assets Of the dis
penSary.
''Now comes one w. F. Stevenson,
who is said to be the attorney for the
commission and who claims that no
such offer was ever made except IN a
jocular way by Mr.. Hull or PEORIA
III.
"This alleged offer and loss caused
thereby, will, however, be investiga-
ted, but Mr.. Stevenson says If such an
offer had been made 1t could not have
been accepted under the act. This Is
most remarkable proposition to come
from a man who claims to be law
YER but not altogether surprising TO
others in view of the fact that II an
offer had been made and accepted, II
would have been followed by the loss
of some fat legal fees. l do not De-
iieve, however, there is real. lawyer
in South Carolina who would read IN"
act creating the commission and place
any such construction upon 1t.
sNow l have presented the facts
and figures relative to the matter, Just
as they appear. and have repro duced
my remarks upon the subject just as
they were made, and any charge OF
intimation of unfairness on my part Is
false and without foundation no mat
ter by whom made. 1 will further
state that I am responsible for what
say, here or elsewhere. THE State.
