Repetition of the unfair tactics
charged by Senator Carter in the SEN
ate against banking interests in
their methods of opposing the postal
savings bank bill has just been report
ed from Chicago whence was sent out
the misleading and inaccurate propa-
ganda against that measure which
Senator Carter exposed. George E.
Roberts, president of the Commercial
National bank and former director of
the mintis made the latest scapegoat
of the American Bankers association.
A speech which he made months ago
before the pending postal savings bank
bill was amendedin important partic-
ulars and in which Mr.. Roberts crit
icised the measure on those points
has been sent out broadcast by Chair
man Tetor of the Postal Savings COM
mittee of the American Bankers as

Carter bill at ALL 1.-THE bankers ed
ucational' propaganda has been found
persistently to mis-state the case and
seek to create opponents on entirely
wrong premises" states a bulletin of
the Postal Savings Bank league Mot
withstanding that the amendments
provide that state banks may also be-
come government repositories of the
postal deposits the committee of bank
ers, who say they are unselfish in their
fight against this popular measure, are
giving wide currency to statements
that are not true now 1t is unfair to
the public and to Mr.. Roberts, but it
is being done. The main purpose is to
beat the postal savings bank bill some
how, anyhow, but beat it. 1t cannot be

will convene on June II. JuIse Jas.
". DeEore, Of Edgetield, who held the
common pleas court in Newberry a
short time ago, will preside.
The docket for the criminal court is
at present very light. The county has
been remarkably free Of crime since
the last term Of the general sessions
court: On several occasions since
that time the Jail has been free Of
prisoners. 1t has been observed
however, that in Newberry county
many Of the offences committed have
been committed during short period
Immediately preceding court. 1t is to
be hoped, of course, that such will not
be the case at this time.
Several cases, including two or
three murder cases, we're brought ov-
er from the last court, and will be
called for trial.
The jury commissioners will draw
the jury today to serve for the term:
which will continue only during one
week.
