usURY CONDEMNED
louisville In Vigorous Campaign
Against Loan Sharks.

Louisville, KY, Jan. 5.-Police and
press of Louisville are engaged at
present in campaign against those
firms which make their living by per-
centages on loans. The vigorous at
tacks against these companies began
when an alleged defrauding of work
Ing girl in this city was reported to
one of the papers. Since that time
one of the morning papers has not
missed an issue without a first-page
story dealing with alleged nefarious
practices on the part of the loan COM
panies.
Several of the larger business houses
In the city have subscribed to the cam.
paign, listing incidents in which they
were besought by the loan companies
to assign salaries of their employees.
An ordinance was proposed recently to
the Louisville city council making it
prohibitive license against the loan
companies, but 1t was defeated on the
very ground of being prohibitory.

Jackson, KY, Jan. 5.--Fearing that
the governor would send troops to
Breathitt county to preserve order, the
Callahan and Deaton factions agreed
to truce AID disbanded. Both bands
then left Jackson.
The compromise was the result of
the dismissal of the warrants against
former Sheriff Callahan and seven Of
his adherents. who are charged with
the shooting OF Rash Sebastian, and
those against Govan Smith and two Of
the Deaton faction for confederating
and for shooting up the Callahan home
shortly after the presidential election.
Judge Taulbee's action In Diminishing
the warrants, II is said, was taken on
recommendation OF some of the most
prominent citizens and leaders in the
law and order movement in Breathitt
county. When the cases were called
up, Judge Taulbee was about to direct
the summoning of an armed posse to
take the place OF the troops which the
governor had been asked to send, when
the proposition to dismiss the war
rants In the interest of peace was
made and to which the court agreed.

Novelty For Christmas Supper. Il.

An unusual little supper time Chris
mas surprise which was served to a
family party last year was this, says
the December Delineator: Flaky bak-
ing powder biscnits-in some localities
known as quick biscuits'-had been
made just after dinner. While they
had had ample time to COOL they were
still very soft and fresh. The top Of
each little biscuit was pried off with
fork and as much of the inside remov-
ed as could be easily done without dis
turbing the shape of the outside. At
the last moment the remnants Of the
turkey were mixed with celery and a
few capers, and. with mayonnaise
dressing which had been made the day
previous, a delicious salad mixture
was ready in few moments.

GRATING COUNTY TREASURERs
correspondent Suggests Newberry
PrOhibitiOnist for Executive Man.
sion.

To the Editor of the News and Cou
rier: Since the prohibitionists have
all broke down, cut up and defeated
the dispensaryites, horse, foot and
Dragons. and we will now pass over
into the land Of Canaan, flowing with
milk and honey and where sin and
sorrow will trouble us no more. il
oehooves us--especially the benight-
ed dispensaryites-tO seek out and
put forward our prettiest foot, in the
way OF officers, to keep the kitchen
splck and span. Having recovered
from the rude shock administered to
us by the wicked ''prohibs" and
busted the CRIME and sand from our
unhallowed garments, we now pro-
ceed to nominate the Hon. George B.
Cromer, of Newberry, as the next
Chief Executive of the grand old
Commonwealth of South Carolina.
He has said that he wanted no Office
(and we believe him. but he is too
good and true and competent a man
to hide his light under a bushel.
Cincinnatus was forcibly extracted
from between his plough handles to
preside over the destinies of Rome,
and we are sure that DR.. Cromer will
allow us to take him from his legal
plough to pull the bell cord over the
Gubernatorial mule.
So much by way Of pleasantly. To
be serious, Mr.. Cromer has never
preached the blessings of a rotten
State dispensary in one breath and
harped on the damning blight of lia-
uor upon the morals and manhood Of
the age in the next. He has been a
prohibitionist from his mothers
breast to the present and would be
naught else. though everybody be-
side him should advocate the traffic.
He did not "bite his tongue" when it
was unpopular to talk prohibition,
and now that his propaganda has got
us down, hard and fast, on our backs,
we naturally want the best in the
shop.
The. State is calling for men Of his
stripe and. while we do not agree
with him on prohibition, we know
of no higher and purer and nobler
type Of manhood in South Carolina
than George B. Cromer.
